Hey it’s better than optional Palestine.

Oh but you just know Trump would test positive for everything Biden’s on and a whole lot more.

Drug test em both.

I’m white but grew up in Latin America. Nobody cares if I act Latino in Latin American contexts but if I do with a bunch of white people who don’t know me it can be weird. Also there’s the whole “racially self deprecating latino humor” area that I just kinda try to steer out of generally because nope…

And like, it’s not like there isn’t some weird shit in the Bible, or valid critiques of Abrahamic religions, but did this bro go for any of that? Nah, better to just make stuff up. Which is kinda ironic…

The Bible even says if a family member ever doubts Jesus, you’re to kill them immediately to prevent them from convincing others.

Which is a throw back to a schizophrenic guy named Abraham killing his family because they doubted the voices Abraham heard in his head.

I’m gonna request citations on these two.

Wow I’m surprised this comment doesn’t have 20 tankies under it defending the CCP. Lemmy has changed.

I’d love to not buy gasoline! Someone buy me an electric car.

Ubuntu server w/ zfs on the main.

Have a little atom hp home server at my parents house that uses almost no power, that runs freebsd x86, zerotier one, and kopia. Free cloud backup 😁

Oh no I was talking about the other commenter not you. I was agreeing with you.

Honestly the r/atheism type angry mocking atheists sure seem to have an axe to grind with someone they say doesn’t exist.

Like, most people aren’t going into religion with ill intentions, and god doesn’t exist, who you mad at bro?

It’s a Milwaukee based newspaper. They’re trying to tie something happening in their city into the story, pretty standard for local journalism.

This title is horribly ambiguous. I thought the pastor was charging money to let people shelter in the church. Instead he was being a good human and allowing people to shelter in the church for free and was charged by the city.

the La Familia Michoacana and the Jalisco New Generation cartels.

I’m always confused about who decides to translate what. Like, why did la familia michoacana get to keep its article and get an extra “the” tacked on. Why did Nueva generación get translated but not familia?

Yeah I know Eritrea used to be the Ethiopian coast, just figured that they would have held on to part of it after the war either through military force or negotiation.

I’ve always found it odd that Ethiopia doesn’t have any coast, they’re a historic power and the coast is right there, you’d think they would have just taken a bit. Djibouti couldn’t have been that hard to conquer.

Yeah Somalia, the main source of piracy in the world, is mentioned not only in the article but in the little preview blurb also.

They played Woodstock with less than a sock.

IIRC they were subsidized a good deal for developing nations.

The thing is Russia was Russia (who saw that coming) and took our money and then kept delaying delivery. By the time the Sputnik came through neighboring countries were getting their orders of EU/US vaccines.
