Matthew 28:18-20 quotes Jesus as saying ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching

>America has weird leadership fetishes. Captains are supposed to go down with the ship but in times of crisis the President abandons us all to run away on his. That’s… not that weird when you think about it. The ‘Going down with the ship

You aren’t wrong, but we used to teach Latin in schools. Things aren’t getting better in a lot of these arenas, they are being chipped away… and the center cannot hold forever.

Clearly living longer after viable reproductive age offers something. Having grandmothers around to nurture the second generation offspring is certainly a benefit.

Also how many leftist colleges are acting very permissible towards antisemitism. The left certainly has its own demons to confront.

In the majority of cases it’s a shitty ineffective compromise that does neither well.

If that is the worry, then bad influences won’t be stopped by some shitty internet-wide age verification. Teens can bully each other with their cameras, or words. If their peers are the problem, no amount of government playing internet cop

Baby-sitting has always existed as a need; in the past it may have been done by various family members, but the modern ‘daycare’ model has its roots in the Industrial Revolution: as long as there have been machines for both parents to work,

With last few decades of Bernina machines in particular, techs are very much incentivized to replace failing boards wholesale. Older machines from the 70s and 80s don’t have the compact machine-built boards; in these you can replace blown c

In a former life I repaired sewing machines. Singer built a reputation for durability, and their old machines still perform much as you describe. Modern Singers, however, are bottom-of-the-market plastic chunks of crap, their reputation run

Yeah. No one is out there suing the shit out of cliff notes because they published a summary of Catcher in the Rye.

Sounds like your school sucked and a phone was the band-aid. I doubt you are alone in this kind of ‘education’ (using the word very lightly) induced misery, but escapism via device is not much good when the real problem is the systemic misu

Better call the police. Seriously though, Clark died in 2008; it isn’t like he is being victimized.

“Israelis using young Palestinians as blood bags”? Seems like a modern take on the the ugly ‘blood-drinking Jew’ stereotype.

I am an American and I don’t think it was particularly violet. There were 4 deaths. Not 400 or 40 (not like I wanted there to be more). But pearl clutching over some people protesting where they shouldn’t have when Congress wasn’t in sessio

That is weird looking, a cross between the body plan of a mosasaur and an ichthyosaur. It’s funny that the article talks about how mysterious this creature is and how it didn’t swim like a plesiosaur- but makes no mention of the ichthyosaur

Maybe in this hypothetical we could reduce weight by making it the 2nd Death Star? A lot of that was skeletal superstructure.

I think part of Stanford’s hardiness is due to the fact that it ‘feels true.’ We have all had our chains yanked by petty tyrants… even if the science was rotten. You are right about it not being properly discredited, though- I remember it b

Hirohito was not Adolf Hitler and the idea that he should have been deposed is such a dumb take. The Emperor was a symbolic figurehead who helped unite and reconcile postwar Japan.

Remember: you can’t make any movie about postwar Japan without also making it about the warcrimes of Imperial Japan /s This is like bitching that Grave of the Fireflies doesn’t call out the atrocities committed by unit 731 so it’s bad.

Still not convinced training AI is theft, and I think copyright law is a cudgel used by powerful corpos to extract rent and smash innovation.

Sounds like the devil is in the details. Often the AI seems to struggle with darker skin… are you suggesting we sift who can be monitored/prosecuted based on skin darkness? That sounds like a mess to try to enshrine in law. Strong (and

This seems the exception that proves the rule- Washington was good in no small part because he stepped down. He did not rule America as king, even when he had the popularity to claim the throne. He served his stint as president, and then

Not sure if this is just a tongue in cheek response, but cellulose isn’t fat, plants use it to give structure and rigidity to their cell walls. Animal cell walls do have lipids, but these fats not responsible for what makes animals obese.
