We all know that he's not done the reading, but the Book of Concord is quite clear on what Lutherans believe is happening during the sacrament of the altar and the competing theories surrounding the Mystery.

The Epitome of the Formula of Concord
Confession of the Pure Doctrine concerning the Holy Supper against the Sacramentarians.
Affirmative Theses
6. We believe, teach, and confess that the body and blood of Christ are received with the bread and wine, not only spiritually by faith, but also orally; yet not in a Capernaitic, but in a supernatural, heavenly mode, because of the sacramental union; as the words of Christ clearly show, when Christ gives direction to take, eat, and drink, as was also done by the apostles; for it is written Mark 14:23: And they all drank of it. St. Paul likewise says, 1 Cor. 10:16: The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? that is: He who eats this bread eats the body of Christ, which also the chief ancient teachers of the Church, Chrysostom, Cyprian, Leo I, Gregory, Ambrose, Augustine, unanimously testify.

The Epitome of the Formula of Concord
Confession of the Pure Doctrine concerning the Holy Supper against the Sacramentarians.
Negative Theses
On the other hand, we unanimously reject and condemn all the following erroneous articles, which are opposed and contrary to the doctrine presented above, the simple faith, and the [pure] confession concerning the Lord’s Supper;

22 1. The papistic transubstantiation, when it is taught in the Papacy that in the Holy Supper the bread and wine lose their substance and natural essence, and are thus annihilated; that they are changed into the body of Christ, and the outward form alone remains.

23 2. The papistic sacrifice of the Mass for the sins of the living and the dead.

24 3. That [the sacrilege whereby] to laymen one form only of the Sacrament is given, and, contrary to the plain words of the testament of Christ, the cup is withheld from them, and they are [thus] deprived of His blood.

25 4. When it is taught that the words of the testament of Christ must not be understood or believed simply as they read, but that they are obscure expressions, whose meaning must be sought first in other passages of Scripture.

26 5. That in the Holy Supper the body of Christ is not received orally with the bread; but that with the mouth only bread and wine are received, the body of Christ, however, only spiritually by faith.

27 6. That the bread and wine in the Holy Supper are nothing more than [symbols or] tokens by which Christians recognize one another.

28 7. That the bread and wine are only figures, similitudes, and representations of the far absent body and blood of Christ.

29 8. That the bread and wine are no more than a memorial, seal, and pledge, through which we are assured that when faith elevates itself to heaven, it there becomes partaker of the body and blood of Christ as truly as we eat bread and drink wine in the Supper.

Yeah, it seems, like Slate, your target customers for these things are fleet vehicles for trades. Bare bones, drive it all day, let it charge at the depot/hub overnight. And those are the types of drivers who actually need and use payload space. Is there demand for down-market Escalade pickups?

If this happened today, what does Ty Cobb's Riley Gaines/Sophie Cunningham arc looks like?

Wikipedia Article: 1912 suspension of Ty Cobb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During the 1912 baseball season, center fielder Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers was suspended for ten days after entering the spectator stands at New York's Hilltop Park during a game and physically assaulting Claude Lucker, a heckler. At the time, Cobb was among the biggest stars in the major leagues. American League president Ban Johnson suspended Cobb and fined him $50 ($1,700 in 2025[1]).

Cobb had been Lucker's verbal target throughout the four-game series between the Tigers and New York Yankees. Facing a continued stream of insults and questioning about his racial ancestry, Cobb lost his temper in the fourth inning of the fourth game, on May 15, 1912. He raced into the stands, punching

Gamers™: "Obviously, we're getting fucked by corporations." Me> So, that's why you've lobbied for industry regulations? "lol, no." >So, you've voted your wallet to pressure studios financially? "lmao" >So, what have you done? "Gotten angry online, predominately at women and other minorities"

I truly think that people who do the "Gamers are actually super entitled" are far bigger corporate bootlickers than they want to even admit cause gamers are one very few markets that's aware of how they're getting fucked by big corporations.

This is why they knew sports betting would be bad!

Speaking of Kennedy's Inaugural. This is the creed of my branch of Americanism. And I will never forgive my countrymen for the despair they have caused me.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Not for nothing, but I think Kennedy's original pitch holds up

To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required--not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

Everything in your first sentence is so incorrect, it's almost as if you're deliberately choosing to lie about him. You can find the original posts easily, I just did it right now with 3 minutes of searching to capture these screenshots. Why do you traffic in falsehoods?
