So… a typical member of the faith-based community. Not a member of the reality-based one.

The murder-to-save-babies community is entirely faith-based

Despite having nuclear weapons and not being a party to the NPT, Israel has never threatened to use them.

Unlike Iran and most of its neighbors which threaten to destroy Israel every chance they get.

Isreal: “This is the start of a weekslong campaign”

Isreal, day 1: decapitates military, destroys air defenses

Day 2: Now able to fly with impunity, strikes military and energy targets in broad daylight

News media, day 3: “Isreal has failed to totally end all Iranian nuclear efforts!”

Guess what Trump’s Tarriffs and trade war against literally every other country are only just getting started.

The stagflation is quite possibly upon us in a matter of weeks

Illegal, maybe. But… Unjustified? Maybe the author is unaware of Isreal’s recent divulgence of Iran’s plan to sprint for a nuke while its militant religious zealots in Hamas and Hizbullah are hobbled? Or how openly the mullahs state that they will use it?

Fun fact: the Freedom From Religion Foundation is also party to the suit

matrix

IMO getting Matrix’s UI to work like apps people are familiar with is an order of magnitude less effort than any other option, and possibly an order of magnitude better than other options in terms of meeting the design goal of private messaging.

OTOH I don’t make UI’s 🤪

I’ve been in Signal chats with Tulsi Gabbard’s staff.

And no ofc it’s not that impressive. They used the app during the Dem Primary campaign trail so all the campaign volunteers used it to coordinate.

Back then I thought she would be a charismatic Dem that could win against Trump – when none of the Dems (esp. not Biden IMO) seemed to have a chance.

Back then she was inclusive with her political rhetoric. She was the only candidate on either side whose primary message was:

Respect the other side as people, and try to understand their point of view

OMFG I wish I’d hear that from politicians more often. Or ever.

Please forgive me. I was like 9 years younger back then and Tulsi hadn’t gone MAGA.

The only crypto worthy of the name

“Atheists” who make themselves, or the State, a swap-in replacement for God(s) are not much different from purely religious authorities who abuse their positions. It is apparently a common kind of power-seeking Dark Trait.

The Leviathan theory of the state – the Motherland who is greater than us, who we would die for as cells die to preserve the body, and whose Exegeses come from the Great Leader/Supreme Council/President for Life.

It’s exactly the same play on faith and credulity and servility that religions use.

Bingo.

I have way more respect for ravers at Burning Man who OD on Ecstasy while dancing naked and copulating for 14 hours straight.

At least they enjoyed their completely unproductive dalliance

Atheists don’t need to disprove theists any more than they need to disprove Leprechauns. The burden of proof is on the one making the positive assertion.

$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions 
['apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'gtktitlebar@velitasali.github.io']

I can’t believe apps-menu and window-list are not the default behaviors. gtktitlebar is just so I can claw back a few precious pixels of vertical screen space.

Geez Donald wouldn’t it be awesome to have kickass fighters like that on our side?!?

No cardboard, no cellotape, highest quality materials

May I introduce your barbaric uncivilized ass to the ideas of “voting” and “education”

However it divides up, I want to be on the side that has scientists and vaccines

I’d echo this. Syncthing is widely used because it Just Works in so many weird situations. So if it is Not Working, swapping out Syncthing might actually make the problem harder to solve.
