It doesn’t matter to my perspective. The history of religion is for sub groups to spilt off over inconsequential differences, make up different doctrines and eventually go to war over them. It’s an expression of Authoritarians and cult behavior, and what leads to some of the greatest suffering that mankind has ever inflicted upon itself.

These families wanted to filter themselves to a sub group that’s a distinction without a difference.

But that’s the wrong kind of religious.

Also don’t use more than a few words or I get bored and need a Tik Tok video to keep me focused between sentences.

Or… Drive fewer cars and run fewer gas motors!!!

We’re both self defeating and stupid. Also, we don’t feel that our nation should work to our benefit. It’s really a long term 1D chess strat to die early because our nation is a hellhole of our own devising.

Oh, but we also are basically poor while we do it. We’re #1! {According to us}

They’ve left dual citizenship and the five year normal path to citizenship intact… for now.

“fascists seek to ally with fascists now that US fascists are publicly out as fascists”

Because it’s an artificial monopoly with a captive audience? Because the government demands all kinds of extra overheads with sometimes dubious need beyond justifying government agency work?

It’s not a huge mystery.

No one who survived the attempt to require others to use it.

It was just about a asinine as you would assume.

Awesome follow through. Thank you.

Got a source on how they hid the body? It’s very not cool if that’s what was done. I know the Nazis are trying to turn him into a martyr, and having the body both to hide from the investigation and to make it mysterious so they can tell any lies they like is classic.

I’ve been trying the cheaper stuff. Some of it is great. Don’t be afraid to try the bottom shelf items these days.

Germany’s government is also pointing out that the nation needs 100’s of thousands of skilled workers to fill jobs. The local training services aren’t seeking the enrollments needed to fill the jobs, so where do they come from?

The usual suspects are in huge demand (MSTEM fields), but also anyone skilled in the trades is in high demand.

That’s not the same as asylum seekers in general, but with falling birthrates, the EU must import people or the current models must change away from oligarchy-oriented capitalism. Given how the rich people move the decision making, but those same people push right wing populism to oppress populations, they end up in a cleft fork: not enough local workers to feed the baby crushing machine, while requiring xenophobia to maintain their power base. Once the situation becomes untenable, they turn to fascism to maintain their power.

Tough times ahead, just like usual.

I’m pretty cool with being forgotten most of the time, especially in general “stir the pot to make people fight over stupid shit instead of building guillotines for the real problem” kinds of stuff.

But yes, I drank (and do sometimes drink) from garden hoses. It’s just tap water delivered with more volume and outdoors.

It should just be that the government doesn’t patrol the high seas, of course! Every ship should enter into personal 1-on-1 contracts with each pirate for a market appropriate rate to ensure they don’t get attacked. The Libertrian way won’t cause any issues of scale, rampant loss of merchant ships, and an eventual ending of all oceangoing shipping outside of the handful of ships that can afford their own navies to escort them… /s

I’m not in Canada, but a recent quote from one of our city councilmen when asked about improving rail service between cities was:

“You should just fly like adults”

Walking? Using public transit? That’s for poors.

I haven’t had broadcast or cable TV for at least a decade now. The major news/media outlets hold very little interest given their approach to generally being informative in any serious way. So, no, our household doesn’t watch TV.

There it is. Thank you for the great summary of the tautology that is reveleation-based religion. In the end, it all boils down to a presup argument with no basis and dries up under even a modicum of analysis.

That’s the Fox News (or similar) pus leaking out of OP’s head. Up until that line they were sorta on a basic “I don’t understand why people value reason over superstition” track, but then veered into crazyland.
