In the Bible story God made the first set, but they were destroyed by Moses in a meltdown. Moses had to carve the rewritten replacements which are the ones that get written down.

Regardless of whether someone thinks Moses is historical, the story itself is a coup of sorts.

Unrelated, but has anyone else noticed the ten commandments read like a bad AI prompt?

I upvoted this comment multiple times while reading.

I think the idea is that the diseases are likely to become deadlier whether we do research or not, but by experimenting we are able to get ahead of it.

We’d still have Luigi, he’d just be doing more QA work for Civ or going surfing instead of being dragged around for this show trial.

The prisoners Bush had sent to Egypt were not sent from the US, they were sent from different countries that allowed extradition to Egypt. It was disgusting and abhorrent, but it isn’t the same thing as what we’re seeing now.

Flying people from the US to foreign prisons without due process is a blatant violation of the constitution.

The attack point has to be something that both sides of the political spectrum finds repulsive. If only right wingers have a problem it makes the lefties look like hypocrites, and if it’s something only people on the left care about it’s ineffective.

Eyeliner and weak chins/beards aren’t things people on the left tend to take issue with, while white nationalism and misogyny aren’t things people on the right take issue with.

The military thing could work, but it’s not punchy enough, it’s too specific and not very funny. The couch fucker jokes are easy laughs.

I think part of it is about making him into a joke to prevent him from gaining the cult following necessary to be another trump. I don’t think trump supporters would care about the valid criticisms, but the idea he has sex with couches is provocative and humorous, and seems to have become one of the only things a lot of people know about him.

Maybe we’re not thinking of the same movies, but when I think of old Disney I don’t see that pattern:

• Snow White: an orphan girl, bullied by her step mom, flees into the woods to live with dwarfs, then becomes a princess because she’s pretty.
• Pinocchio: wooden puppet is given life by a fairy to reward its craftsman for being a good person.
• Fantasia: artistic vignettes
• Bambi: life of a deer.
• Cinderella: an orphan girl, bullied by her stepmom, becomes a princess because she’s pretty, with the help of a fairy who rewards her for being a good person.

To me it seems like the good guys are mostly attractive youths with a strong work ethic and no parents.

Our swearing system in modern English revolves around sex, violence and infidelity, but our society is also kinda into those things. Societies are complicated.

Edit: also sometimes people still say shit about bottoms when they curse.

I’m calling the misinformation you’re spreading a fart, because it’s noxious noise. It’s a metaphor for spreading lies without consideration of the truth. Scotland’s gender recognition certificates aren’t an opinion, it’s a government policy. Your aren’t offering a diverse perspective, you’re simply incorrect, proudly trumpeting your inaccuracies to get attention.

You’re ripping a fart in the public square and calling it discourse. You’re a fool.

That doesn’t answer the question.

Introducing lies to a discussion doesn’t make for a more well rounded conversation, it just creates noise. You’re just blaring the reverberations of your personal echo chamber into the public forum and pretending like it’s a novel perspective nobody has considered.

You’re like: “Everyone here is talking about orbital mechanics, but have you considered the earth is flat?” It’s not insightful or interesting, that it’s just nonsense. Diverse perspectives are only valuable if they have a basis in reality.

Personally I think you’re doing it to get a rise out of people, I think the disagreement is fun, it’s like a game you can play to make the situation feel less serious. Just a bit of trolling.

Why do you believe such obvious bullshit? Why spread it on the Internet?

In Scotland you’re required to live in your aquired gender for two years with the intent to do so permanently, you also need a diagnosis from a gender specialist as well as your GP.

There isn’t really a discussion to be had here, you said something untrue and now you’re being corrected.

If you want to have a discussion, why don’t we talk about where you’re getting these ideas from and why you believe them. What makes you think police officers are changing their gender on a day by day basis?

I use my GPU mostly for gaming and computer science. I will say that ROCm from AMD is seriously giving Cuda a run for its money, and it’s fully open source. AMD cards also tend to be better per dollar.

Same, I’ve been using Debian only for the last 15 or so years. I love the stability, and the old software isn’t hard to work around when newer versions are needed.

I hate the lack of support from Nvidia. I prefer AMD cards though, and they give zero trouble.

Thank you for that, seriously.

Your external pressure helps encourage more people to rise up. I’ve seen a ton of Canadian flags at the 50501 protests. We stand in solidarity against this madness.

Yes and yes. It’s pretty good imo, my favorite milkshake flavor. They were super popular in the 1920s.

You could put your feet in your kneepits, but I’m not sure how warm they are.
