That’s not what I am asking.

Do you think you are born with a specific capacity for intelligence that cannot he altered in a positive fashion?

The primaries did

needs more soil and water

NJ got rid of them a few years back. My trashcans have had the sane liners since then.

This was a primary election so both major parties were fielding several candidates. The reality is no Republican is getting elected in NYC as long as we have free and fair elections in the USA so the democratic primary winner is the most likely person to win in November when the general election is held.

You are not obligated to run under a party in US elections. It just makes it easier to win.

So you think you are born with a specific capacity for intelligence that cannot be changed to make people have a greater capacity to learn? (Obviously blunt force trauma can make someone less capable).

What do you think smarter means if not more knowledgable and better educated?

It is more likely that he will lose in the general to Adams after months of hateful racist messaging than he gets nabbed by ICE.

Exactly, at 10 I didnt know what happened but since it wasnt key to the story I did not care.

If you take two equally capable people and give one a better education the better educated one will be generally smarter.

They are both awful

I legitimately have avocado colored ceramic midcentury modern lamps in that likely belong in that bedroom.

How many of ypur neighbors own cars?

She is saying “cheese” which causes your mouth to pull up more. What you should say if you want to make an effective smile is sadly “money” as the “ey” on the end cause a slight smile that photographs better.

Like…first off. HOW was that in a kids movie??? Secondly, it’s just there. Like the ghost knew Ray wanted it, and Ray knew to let it happen. Then the movie just moves on, and other than Ray being embarassed to explain he had it happen, it’s never mentioned again.

The kids never quite understood what happened but it was so quick they just moved on.

Many are smart because they can afford better education.

Smart people know their shortcomings.

If that’s buttercream that’s excellent work

That’s odd as historians think it alost certainly was a single guy as multiple groups pop up all talking about the sane guy in different parts of the world. We have no idea what he preached but he likely existed.

Why would you use atheists.org as a source for this? They clearly aren’t historians and would have a biased take.

The current consensus is there had to be a guy likely named Yeshua who lived in or around Galilee who was looking to reform Judaism. Reformers of Judaism were incredibly common after Rome conquered Israel. In fact the rabbinical Jewish movement, which is what “modern Judaism” is part of, was started by the Pharisees who are mentioned throughout the New Testament in negative terms (believed to be because they competed with Yeshua’s followers).

The guy you think of as Jesus never existed but the consensus seems to be that it would be difficult for multiple groups all sharing the same views to pop up around the mediterranean if Yeshua never existed. That doesn’t mean Christianity is the correct interpretation of those views only that a guy named Yeshua had a bunch of followers

The fact is we don’t have any reason to think he never existed. We have reason to doubt claims that are religious in nature but it is unlikely that the entire faith was fabricated by Paul/Saul.
