Worth noting the LDS is 100 and 200 years the junior of Methodism and Episcopalianism, respectively. Give it time

"fascists are fake Christians" is prescription, not description. Evangelicals, further, don't have a pope, so there's nobody with the power to be prescriptive here.
Cite the church fathers all you want, that's just what Christianity is in that case.
The difference between heresy and orthodoxy is just political power, nothing more or less. If a bunch of people who think "turn the other cheek" is pussy beta shit call themselves Christians and amass in numbers sufficient to elect a President then there is no point in calling them different.
Evangelicals are still Christians.
And others were Protestantism
The history of Christianity is defined by radical departures lol, this is nothing new
Christianity is a movement and consists of whatever its members do

Don't go looking for things to hate. So much of the Internet is built around drip-feeding you things to hate and I had to cut it out of my habits a long time ago because it was making me miserable, bitter and prejudiced.
There is a colorable argument you should put the knives away even if you are entirely right (you are comprehensively wrong)
I think you're denying these are factual statements to some and scorning others for doing the same. I won't try and grab a snake by the tail, I think. bsky.app/profile/geof...
One that gets better value for money, even!
I'd like you to meet my son and daughter, Melchizedek and Jochebed. They're twins.
I genuinely disagree.
I am now a bit less baffled! I didn't realize they were that close and thought Ozy was just some other LW-adjacent blogger
Scott Alexander convinced me to support trans rights. This fact continues to baffle me
Dudes rock
What's happening? I can't find any news about this
We're never gonna touch that fuckin' stove are we
And AI.
Grok, of all models, is pretty infamously good at not backing down when users try to get it to say something it know is false
You'd get quite a few doctors complaining about this, believe it or not
"If you hated the Christian right, get ready for the post-Christian right" nah, it's still just the Christian right bud
Maybe "evoke" is better than "echo" here
"cogsucker" and similar, therefore, are not funny since they just echo extant prejudice rather than exploring one that doesn't exist
Updating this: "clanker" is funny to the extent it's novel. Trying to shoehorn it into existing slur-using idioms (like "clanka, please," which I just saw) makes it not funny. The joke works when the tellers are striving to discover new robot-specific insults rather than adapt human ones
I mean all sports are unfair in the very narrow sense that no two athletes have the exact same physical traits
I'm not clear on what you mean by "sports is a weakness"
This makes sense for stuff like chess or darts or billiards, maybe bowling, and would spell the permanent death of women's participation in basketball, baseball, soccer and most Olympic events above the middle school level
My interlocutor's model for such a site policy was Etsy, so color me skeptical
Did the sisters hit you in the head often?
Pete won Iowa.
Probably prosocial if they can eliminate this experience, though
Is Yarvin even religious?
Not really. www.owe.com/is-fan-art-l...
It already did that, repeatedly, and the kid found workarounds repeatedly.
Any art site that vigorously enforces copyright law may as well not bother existing, because fan art can't be hosted on it
You should have rolled into battle with a leaf bag full of cans, Brad. That would have fuckin' rocked
Was unaware you had solved the hard problem of consciousness. When can we expect your white paper?
Surely no more bad or stupid than assigning consciousness to our pets, which people do all the time
I think Born is possibly the greatest Punisher story ever but Ennis's work seems to have had fairly minimal influence on the Netflix/MCU take on the character
I don't think something happening in Britain has much effect on whether it happens in America
Objection, conclusion does not follow premise
That's why they're awesome. Reese's Pieces with more (and better) peanut butter. No downsides.
Why? he's right
Please, and I mean this entirely sincerely, get a job where you can work with your hands. Print t-shirts, flip burgers, wash cars, whatever. All you do is Discourse about Discourse and it's cut you off from the world and all sense of perspective
Tbf the modal imperial guard opfor is a horde of aliens which literally can't be missed because they cover the entire horizon
This would be a sound rejoinder if the claim was that Waymo cars had level 5 autonomy, but I don't think anyone is claiming that
Can you put a pile bunker on a tank? Didn't think so
Young men love Trump less than any other men, the "Zoomer men are all Nazis" meme is bullshit
For once I'm counting on Americans' propensity for conspiracy theorizing
That's bad but unrelated
That's not an endorsement

Why is Fido an archetypal dog name? I've never met a dog named Fido in my life

"Clanker" is funny, sorry
Permanent sequels, they call it Doctor Who syndrome
Permanent what?
A) point stands B) no
ICE having dropped all expectation of physical fitness from their recruiting standards is a good sign. A similar sign of desperation to their lifting the age cap
Deliverance?
It's seriously ingenious
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpan-Z
They have nowhere near the manpower to meet their deportation quota (which is equal to every Mexican-American in the United States) so their recruitment standards are nil
Uncanny, isn't it?
"...this industry, by invading the territories of art, has become art’s most morÂtal enemy[...]If photography is allowed to supplement art in some of its functions, it will soon have supplanted or corrupted it altogether, thanks to the stupidity of the multitude which is its natural ally."
(the proper ratio is 1.5:1 water:rice tho)
Do you have anything to say at all
"As the photographic industry was the refuge of every would-be painter, every painter too ill-endowed or too lazy to complete his studies, this universal infatuation bore not only the mark of a blindness, an imbecility, but had also the air of a vengeance." www.csus.edu/indiv/o/obri...
Yeah maybe "foresee" is a strong word, I'm not actually sure if anyone but me cares about this. "Would enable" might be more accurate
Video games have turned to recreating famous actors' faces for star power as graphical fidelity has improved to allow it, and I really dislike this trend. It does away with what I see as an advantage of video games as a medium
One benefit I foresee is actually the end of movie stardom. Make up people who don't exist to cast for your movie, so you don't have to pretend Tom Cruise is actually Ethan Hunt or whatever. Do away with a level of suspension of disbelief
And not for lack of trying (Soleimani, anyone?)

What are "assets" here? Do I have to move out of my house? My bank accounts get cleaned out and divvied up among family and lawyers? Am I just homeless and destitute now?
I don't get the flour and rain thing

Readers have argued for hundreds of years that Satan is a justified and heroic figure in Paradise Lost, for example
Media literacy entails the knowledge that any work of fiction is just some guy's opinion. A take on some topic supported by vividly-described but imaginary evidence. It's not inherently wrong to fully understand and fully reject the themes of a work or to take the side of its putative villain
AI and genetic engineering do not rank among the worst evils being perpetuated in the world so not even that fits
