the random musings not worthy of new thread thread

That sounds like the beginning of a Lifetime For Women murder mystery.

Somewhere in West Texas is a 7-inch radioactive cylinder that Halliburton would like to find. Anyone who comes across it is advised to keep their distance.

The oil field services company lost track of the device, which is used to assess potential sites for hydraulic fracturing, last Tuesday while trying to transport it from Pecos to a well site near Odessa 130 miles away. A special unit of the Texas National Guard has now stepped in to aid Halliburton in a search for the cylinder, according to Bloomberg.

can someone explain to me why jews feel the need to call it the new year at some random point in the middle of september

[ice grillin you]

ha...why do you care

[MDS]

because "the new year" is made up as it is. the earth's rotation around the sun takes a little over 365 days. days last for roughly 24 hours. its not exact, which is why they implemented leap years, leap days and leap seconds to make it all even out.

so why, after all this evidence, do jews still ritually follow an archaic calendar that at some points adds an extra month or takes away days or whatever it is does to have these holidays fall on some random september or october day.

when you think about this it literally doesnt make any sense. you have to be a farging moron to blindly believe this bullshtein.

[ice grillin you]

you are trying to explain religion which in and of itself is based on a book of fables...its santa claus on HGH

why even let it bother you

[MDS]

because it genuinely annoys me that people are saying happy new year based on a re-formatted lunar calendar that was proven useless 2000 years ago.

if people want to believe in their fairy tales they can go right ahead but unless youre partying in the streets and setting off fireworks like the orientals dont call it the new year.

in fact jews celebrate the new year in the most awful way possible. americans do it with beer and football. jews do it with a long religious service and sabbath rules (no electricity, writing, driving a car, etc.). for two farging days. two! how many farging days do you need to say happy new year. its not even fun. its all serious and shtein. god damnit i hate religion.

[ice grillin you]

haha

i mean i cant argue with that but its not in the top ten religious things that drive me nuts

[MDS]

its probably because im a former cult member and i have tons of lingering bitterness about being forced into that life until i was 13

you think you got battle scars from fights i got wasted days and nights sitting in a temple hearing people chant nonsense words from a book of mishmash phrases and stories. battle scars.

The Chinese have their own special calendar, too. Who do these jerks are, thinking they're special with their own calendars?

[Eagaholic]

Hey, don't forget Muslims. And there are multiple Hindu calanders. And get this - those clowns begin their day when the sun comes up instead of midnight. Can you imagine?

[General_Failure]

What a bunch of iceholes.

[Susquehanna Birder]

If it got me a four day work week, I'd adopt whatever farging calender was offered to me.
