@covered-in-pillows Depends. If you mean "did something wrong" as in making a mistake, and not a moral action, absolutely.

Setting Minneapolis on fire seems like a balanced response. At least destruction leads to new beginnings.

@adhd_alien ooh, why is this relatable 😂

Last night, I meant to throw my popcorn bag in the trash, but tossed it into my brother's clothes basket instead. 😑

My therapist said that I need to work on how to stop allowing my past trauma have a place in my marriage, so I started making memes instead of constantly seeking validation from my husband. twitter.com/adhd_alien/status/

I am working on “how to cope with Rejection Sensitivity!”
It’s such a sensitive and complicated topic so everything is taking a lot of time. I’m wondering what format to make it in right now maybe several? Can’t ever talk about it enough haha twitter.com/adhd_alien/status/

@PorkCow That aspect, I understand. I just don't get why the guy is kneeling in all those scenarios.

@khird This is helpful; thanks!

Naughty behaviour in a literary context 

@realcaseyrollins

The original word is ΠΟΡΝΕΙΑ (porneia) which Wiktionary tells me can be either "prostitution" or "fornication".

But even so, that doesn't necessarily indicate that Paul *meant* fornication specifically being immoral, since he was writing in Greek. That's just the way the language was used - one might write "wine" when meaning alcoholic beverages in general, "iron" when referring to weapons in general, and so forth. So even if the word literally means "fornication" it's entirely possible he was using it with the intention that his Greek-speaking readers would take its meaning more broadly.

The translator has to make a decision to render the word's meaning or the author's meaning. If he's writing to an audience that knows these conventions in Greek, he can go with the former and let the audience infer what Paul really meant. But even among educated adults, familiarity with Greek is on the decline, so modern translations are increasingly likely to reword the phrase to preserve the intended meaning as opposed to the literal meaning.

@jeff@pl.i2p.rocks @darltrash Haha yeah just watch who you follow a lil carefully, don't look at TWKN timeline and you'll be fine
