No, it's you not getting it. "Turning the other cheek" doesn't mean putting up with bad behavior, it means discouraging bad behavior so it doesn't occur in the first place. It's about setting boundaries on behavior

That may what you'd like it to mean, but here's the text:

[38] Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
[39] But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
[40] And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
[41] And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
[42] Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
[43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
[44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Nothing here about "discouraging bad behavior", at all. "Pray for them" is the best I see here

The fourth sentence in the snippet right here in front of you says:

"This is a description of the plot of the new Marvel Cinematic Universe show on Disney Plus (as well as its comic book counterpart), which..."

I mean, the editing here is famously crap, but you should really read the text before complaining about it.

Comment Streaming TV and gambling (Score 2) 45

I'm wondering how putting more and more sports on streaming will interact with the simultaneous increase in authorized gambling. There's a big market now in live betting and you'd better be as up-to-the-second as possible if you're going to do that; meanwhile, I've seen the feed on (for instance) Amazon's Thursday Night Football be minutes behind the ESPN non-video app. They'd better be able to solve that.
