Does it dovetail with SWIFT? It really sounded like it’s just a competing system.

A stick up the ass isn’t the exact same thing as low intelligence or whatever this turnoff is, but then again I’m not good at let-loose stupid fun, so maybe I’m biased.

Either way, more left for me, as they say, as long as everyone’s having a good consensual time.

Well, I know a lot of evangelicals too, so that skews it.

In the romantic sense, someone that seems dumb or childish. I just can’t go there without some sense of being a peer.

The ones associated with poverty are the usual ones that catch crap. Regional or recent immigrant.

Maybe this person is going to surprise me and just finds Australian or Parisian French grating personally, though.

I’ve seen it. I can’t find what I was remembering now.

There was a Reddit thread where OP was trying to identify a one-leg male thong his gay roommate left on the floor, I think that counts.

There is, trying to find it again.

Edit: I don’t think this is what I was thinking of, but here: https://www.candymanfashion.com/

It does have the nice feature that the holy book as it exists is definitely a faithful copy of the one dictated by the known, independently attested historical figure.

Of course, most of the actual practices derive from the Hadiths, lol.

Lucky. Seems like the sort of thing that would be gig work these days.

In the 60s or whatever, I’m sure it was. In the days of the fediverse and massively distributed supercomputing, though?

It’s just a way to settle accounts by wire, right?

     The Bible is lies

Atheists   -o-   Christian revisionists

I don’t know if that’s what OP meant, though.

Yeah, Biblical inerrancy is specific to a subset of Protestants. They’re just loud about it. The Catholic church has also flirted with it, but their stance has always been that the church itself is the final authority on all matters, and in Vatican II they soften their endorsement of it with something like “inerrant for the purposes of salvation”.

It’s possible lay believers of other denominations sometimes take the same stance out of confusion, though. I’ve never personally heard someone say “I’m a Christian that doesn’t believe the Bible is all authentic”.

You didn’t just talk about it. You said they should all do it, and specifically shouldn’t do standard agriculture, like what you depend on. If they find a use for mixed planting, great, and obviously they do sometimes.

So how does the heavier-when-inflated bowling pin man work? Does it thrust downwards somehow?

Well, I guess that was inevitable once the West started cutting people out. It’s not a complicated idea by modern standards.

What painting is this?

Lemmy is, like, all atheists. You’re going to get a lot of “we can’t” answers.

Several. Not getting on the skyhook sends you straight down, getting off at the top puts you into a solar orbit (escape velocity from Earth is ~11km/s, local escape velocity from Sol is ~42km/s, and we end up with 15km/s or so). In between releases should somehow do in between things.

You also need to have a skyhook in sync at the destination as you land, though, and they need to switch out between scheduled flights to keep a reasonable momentum, so it gets complicated. I realised after writing this you probably want to be able to survivably “crash land” at orbital speed if you miss the tether coming down, so that adds weight as well.

I’d still guess it’s viable.

I think there’s a streak of racism among Westerners who think they know better than the people on the ground, if we’re going there.

In fact, the people who actually show up to help have a nickname for your lot: “Great White Savior”

I don’t think you’re a bad person. Or a racist. I do think you stepped in shit and are digging yourself deeper out of, like, pride.

No, mate. I’m close with actual relief workers IRL. ^{Albeit one less as of a couple weeks ago :(}

Keeping the kids out of school so they can work the land so you don’t starve is common as dirt. It’s as simple as a certain number of hours in a day, and school taking a good half of them. Shit, even farming folk here in the West did similar things a century ago.
