If you ask a russian there is a good chance they will tell you Russia is “defending” one thing or another in Ukraine.
Or that russia is in fact defending itself from an attack from “the west” atm.
It’s all bullshit, but propaganda will do its thing.
Nothing (russian) stopping NK from trying to “defend” some shit in SK as well.
Off course they will then find out that Putins word is not worth the dickhole it came out of, but that’s another story.
Russia and entering treaties that neither party intends to honor…
So by your own claim you are part of the polytheistic church of Paul?
That just is not catholicism.
Which is so easy to prove because the catholics love to write down their many rules.
So I honestly would just answer right back at you:
FFS read a book.
And btw, while I have been an atheist for many years now, I was raised strictly catholic in a highly religious area by my catholic family that included a catholic nun and the headmaster of a catholic school and I intensively studied christianity before I made my break with this religion.
You can’t bullshit me.
Catholicism is the church of Paul, and isn’t strictly monotheistic, trinitarianism and unitarianism aside.
That is just plain wrong, no two ways about it.
To me it sounds like you listened to some protestant that doesn’t care much for the catholic church and just repeat his rant without questioning it much.
And don’t get me wrong, I couldn’t care less about christian infighting. I was just curious about the reasoning how the catholic church, which is one of the oldest and most “original” christian churches, could be considered not christian at all.
After your post I don’t believe there is much basis to this claim at all.
That is totally new to me.
Can you give me one or two of those many definitions for my understanding?
I had success talking about the tortoise one with imaginary time stamps.
I think it gets more understandable that this pseudo paradox just uses smaller and smaller steps for no real reason.
If you just go one second at a time you can clearly see exactly when the tortoise gets overtaken.
Do you actually wonder?
Those caps get lost way less and since the bottles themselves usually get recycled now the caps also stay in the cycle.
And it took me like 5 bottles to get used to it.
Even a slow learner should get it sooner or later.
I guess, but that shouldn’t be an issue for any existing user.
So for anyone already using it, it’s a strict improvement.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but why isn’t it widely adopted then?
If meta joined, the users that make most fediverse content now will see their engagement drop.
That’s where you lose me again.
Why would the engagement drop if a ton more users could consume your content.
It’s not like the ratio of content creators to lurkers is any better on meta apps than here.
Btw thank you for the good faith discussion, I don’t think that would have happened at the old place.
I know that you have put more thought into this topic than I did and you just might be right.
But dude that wallmart analogy misses the point by a mile.
Wallmart kills the small stores by simply undercutting them, this has nothing to do with what meta might do.
And you didn’t really argue my point that people like you and I could and probably would consume meta content if it was federated.
But why would anyone that is part of the fediverse right now jump ship if meta came and went away again?
I damn sure will never create another meta account or use any meta app. Would you?
I understand all those points.
I just don’t quite see how that would kill the fediverse.
After all wouldn’t we be exactly where we are now if meta disconnected again?
It’s not like you and I would suddenly start using threads if it started federating.
We come from such similar mental places but still I have to disagree hard.
the government simply had no other choice
There is always a choice.
A rather obvious one here would have been to have the law be formulated against inciting hate and/or violence in general.
It is completely unnecessary to have this law revolve around religious texts just because the concrete reason happens to be connected to religious texts.
Atheists who spread hate against religious communities are no better than religious fundamentalists spreading hate against Atheists.
Like you said yourself, noone is burning books in the name of Atheism.
I have not yet seen a single argument that could convince me that religious texts are any more worthy of legal protection than other pieces of culture that specific subgroups of society hold dear to their hearts.
How is burning a rainbow flag or even a shirt of a rivaling football club less inciting hatred than burning a Quran?
The fuck you talking about?
Republic is a form of state and democracy is a form of government.
Those things are not mutually exclusive, to the contrary.
There are democratic republics, there are democratic monarchies, there are totalitarian republics and many other combinations of state form and form of government.
To say a country is not a democracy because it is a republic is like saying an apple is not a fruit because it is green.
This post is pure and unadulterated bullshit.
Germany didn’t go to Iraq with the US.
Germany will never stop supporting Ukraine.
You are full of shit.
They are all about hierarchy and obedience.
Falling out of any norm is an act of disobedience.
You have to be like us to belong to us.
You have to look like us to be like us.
You can’t have anything unique to look like us.
Brightly colored hair, tattoos, piercings, non-conformist clothing show that you don’t submit an show disobedience.
This is improper.
So you are improper.
Probably dangerous.
Keep away from people like that. You don’t wanna be like those.
I am pretty sure Epic gave away TW:Warhammer at some point, so maybe check if you already have it.
Disco Elysium is a good one but I know I don’t have the time right now.
Maybe I get me another Metroidvania.
I have Blasphemous (which I think was already on sale), Bloodstained RotN or Sundered EE on my wishlist, but again I would probably just make the pile of shame grow.
