It's literally never been reset. The 13th amendment gives an exception for slavery as punishment for a crime, so all you have to do is convict someone of a bullshit crime and then you've got yourself slave labor.

Ha! My great grandma beat yours! She was born in 1898 and died in 2002!

I just got done puking egg through my nose, so I've been better

The answers here are absolutely crazy. Go find some credible biblical scholars (ones whose jobs are not dependent on statements of faith) like Bart ehrman and read what they say.

I visited India back in 2008 and I loved it! However, since then I have realized that I am transgender, so I probably won't go back unless the culture shifts toward being more friendly to queer people. That sours my taste for the country, unfortunately. I also escape fundamentalist Christianity, so I am very suspicious of fundamental and conservative religion, which I perceive as having a strong presence in India.

I don't see India leading in innovation or technology. I see China, Japan, South Korea and the US as being leaders that way. I do see India as up and coming due to its population spike, it definitely feels like development is happening fast!

I used to have the moto g stylus, it did that. I loved it's camera. Too bad I bricked it by trying to downgrade it to unnecessarily install a custom rom.

It's also a scheme for the pharmacies to get as much as they can from the insurance companies.

Agreed, this is generally true, though personally as a trans woman, I prefer to refer to my child self with gender neutral terms. Others can refer to my child self with my current pronouns, or with gender neutral pronouns.

Read Hebrews, it's a good summary. Everything is good and about love and not having to follow the law anymore--and then it abruptly switches into "therefore follow all the new rules or else you'll be super punished by God."
