These terrible crooks, so different in looks

But what I’d you’re a cockroach and you can’t go on?

Very cool

Saddam be built like the Egyptian god Min.

But I can change, I can change!
I can learn to keep my promises I swear it!

I see, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Maybe it’d be an easy choice for the American left, but I’m from the French left. Along with groups such as La Quadrature du Net have been protesting reforms like the aforementioned european directive for adressing antiterrorist contents, of France’s temporary ban on Telegram during the riots or the ban of Tiktok in Kanaky during the uprising, and now we’re supposed to turn around and say “actually censorship is cool”? Are we to empower those we’re fighting in hope that they exclusively use this power against our common enemies? I’ve left Twitter the very day its purchase by the muskrat was officialized and I’ve been telling everyone I know to do as much. Sure, a european ruling would give me something I want, but I don’t trust in what comes next. There’s no way the European Union bans X and don’t end up blocking left wing fedi instances like ml or hexbear, as soon as their existence is brought to their attention.

I don’t believe there is any value in X. In fact I’d say it has negative value. However, granting the UE power and legitimacy to censor any website for political reason also has a negative value, and I’m not certain which is lower.

As much as I hate X, I might have to think about this one for a while. Sure, this platform is a vessel for fascist propaganda and a threat to democracy, but on the other hand, creating a legitimate precedent for banning a social network on political grounds might be a slippery slope. The EU has already made dubious reforms regarding internet freedom, like their antiterrorist bill which require website hosts to remove content whithin an hour if it is signaled to them by the police. I’m not sure if giving them more power and legitimacy in policing online content is a good idea…

I’ve found the experience of coming back to Reddit rather pleasant as of late.

By “coming back to Reddit”, of course, I mean clicking the Reddit link when looking for the specific answer to a question and reading exclusively that page.

And by “as of late” of course, I mean since I installed the “old Reddit redirect” Firefox add-on and used the filter selector of Ublock origins to remove every element of the page that featured a snu or suggested that I log in.

I’d misread the summary and for a minute I thought Trump had killed her dog and she called him out in her book.

Maybe to avoid confusing it with the country.

Don’t forget Lise Meitner!

It’s also been mentioned in other parts of this thread, but the holy foreskin has been considered an important relic, and there are accounts of many kings like Charlemagne having owned it.

Then I guess this makes you an Arian heretic. /s

This is your kingdom come

Does Jesus have a gender tho? As stated above, Jesus has a fully human body and nature (or else you are deemed a heretic by the council of Chalcedon). He is described as a man and several churches and rulers have historically claimed to hold a piece of his foreskin, so he must’ve had a penis. Therefore:

• Either Jesus was agender despite having a penis, therefore penis doesn’t imply male gender or
• Jesus was male. So either:
  • Jesus and God don’t have the same gender, so they aren’t the same entity, which the councils of Nicea and Chalcedon would deem a heresy, or
  • God can manifest as male or agender, making Them genderfluid.

Regardless of the result, he’ll say the numbers are fake anyway.

Cornell West then, idk.

That’s the thing, if the democrat’s only rivals are on their right, the only voters they need to court are the moderate right wing, they have no incentive to make any concession to the left, which they can take for granted.
