I disagree. Most AI innovation today is around things like agents, integrations, and building out use cases. This is possible because transformers have made human-like AI possible for the first-time in the history of humanity. These use-cas

That is church law mumbo jumbo. The absolution given in confession is absolute. You just have to find a priest willing to offer you absolution (which could be an orthodox priest by Catholic doctrine), and either way, if you're on your

there is no papal salary. As someone who's taken religious vows he's not supposed to be earning any income or holding on to it.

No it's the opposite. The eastern churches are very thread bare. Catholics have icons statues and every other kind of art whereas the eastern church went through iconoclasm. A lot of the eastern stuff today is due to influence from the

He's a religious priest which means he cannot own anything other than personal accoutrements. Even if he were to take paid employment before becoming pope, he would have to give it away.

There is no way in hell they'd revoke his American citizenship. American Catholics would be up in arms.

> if a person is a priest, remove their priesthood, and if civilian, excomunicate them. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of catholic doctrine. One cannot have their priesthood 'removed'. However, they can be banned from

Because appetite suppressants remove the 'self' from the equation. They literally make it so the 'self' (whatever that is) is not in control. But that being said, if you take an appetite suppressant of your own accord (r

I am not the commenter above. However, depression and lack of discipline/self-control form a negative feedback loop. Lack of discipline causes you to be depressed, which causes you to have less discipline. A lot of practices that seeme

Then who should investigate? The church cannot do anything to anyone they investigate other than 'order' them to remain in a monastery (which, they can leave at anytime since this is a free country and church rules are not law).

A lot of the church abuse scandal happened during a couple of decades when the church's handling of the cases were the result of following the then scientific consensus on the matter. The church was not alone in this. The scientists to

100% this. I had a handful of tortilla chips last night and today I had hunger cravings despite not doing any activity. Once you realize the link, it's hard to ignore the obvious.

The appetite is affected by your consumption.

So, as someone with DIRECT experience in this (from a family of morbidly obese people and on that route myself at one point), it's still completely self control. I totally understand what you mean by being able to consume anything and

Yeah I cut down to one meal a day and after a year I just CANNOT eat as much as I used to. The result is permanent as far as I can tell. Or at least it will take me a year of going back to old habits to make my stomach big enough again

Bags of rubbish calories lying all around us is what I assume. I have stopped eating outside of defined times to cut down on this.

Realistically speaking it correlates extremely well with self control. Not perfect and I'm not talking about a few extra pounds. But morbid obesity? Yeah pretty much always ..

Unfortunately, child selling is the 'default' state of humanity. Our current regime in which we prioritize children staying with their birth family (which is correct, in my opinion) is novel and an aberration in the grand scheme o

Exactly. The format is wrong. The expectation of publication in a journal in the way that they are formatted today is not good. At one point, an aspiring PhD student used a novel technique from a library I wrote and published on GitHub. The

Preserving the structures your leftist predecessors fought for is still leftist. The issue is that those who label themselves leftists today are indulging in nihilism believing the very institutions that were once far left are somehow evil

Yes it is. Saying you shouldn't educate the lower classes or not educate girls would be met with huge resistance from most Republicans, whereas that is a common enough sentiment in many areas. People who fought for that are considered

It's still left wing coded in many non Christian areas. For example, India. It came as a surprise for my parents that Christianity is right wing in America, but all American political parties are part of the global left in general.

Hmm... why would the church in asia have chosen jan 6 as their epiphany date and main celebration of christmas if it were for Saturnalia. These are questions no one can answer, and we all just assume a Euro-centric perspective for little re

No it does not. Asheroth is a Canaanite language term. Easter comes from the Proto-Indo-European for dawn of east, the direction of the sunrise. A very fitting name for the rising of the Son of Man. The direct cognates to Easter are Usas (I

It's literally only called Easter in English. That being said, the actual etymology for Easter is from the month of April in the anglo-saxon calendar: Ēosturmōnaþ. Easter of course is a name for the entire season of Easter (up until Pe
