@piccolo well sure, but “Communism with Chinese characteristics” is a line that the CCP has used to control the working class in mainland China for decades.
#FamilyMan been married for >15 years and have two daughters. Those three girls are my greatest love on this planet.
I consider myself a #GNU Evangelist. Learning about what #FreeSoftware was, including GNU/Linux, opened my eyes to so many things: governments aren’t the only ones stealing individual rights, I know so much less about computers than I thought I did, the idea of code, I can make a difference without having to know anyone particular.
I’m employed as contract Engineer in the Metal industry. My workplace is not yet unionized, but I’m hoping to fix that. #Union member of the #IWW IU440. I don’t have an engineering degree. After discovering Free Software I took my political scientist butt and found a call center job that paid for me to go to Community College to study Software Engineering, where I learned that I liked the idea of coding a lot more than I liked coding. The blessings of God put some great opportunities in my lap at just the right time.
I’m a #Libertarian and have been for over 20 years. The love of libertarianism is what lead me to first to a BS in #political science and later to falling in love with Free Software. These days I lean toward the left side of the libertarian spectrum including being a member of the Libertarian #Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party (LSC-LP). Sometimes I call myself a #LibSoc.
I’m a huge #sports fan, but don’t following any particular sport/team super closely. Lately I’ve been getting into #Cricket in addition to my other passions of Professional #Wrestling, Lower Division North American #Soccer, NHL & College #hockey, #baseball #olympics & #rugby (union and #RugbyLeauge). My whole life used to be American #Football, but now-a-days I can’t stand it anymore than I can basketball.
I’m a #BornAgain #Christian, accepting #Jesus as my savior at age 9. Received #Believers Baptism at age 18. Received the baptism of the #HolySpirit as evident in speaking in #tougnes later that year. The #Spirit lead me to the #Catholic #Church at age 20 where I was confirmed at the Easter Vigil. I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ in #recovery from lust. #XA #SA #CR Currently in the very early stages of discernment for joining the #Ecumenical order of #Fransicans (#OEF).

@humble_pete_digger @Nito Odysee isn’t owned by Google. It is one of a number of block-chained based de-centralized video sharing platforms utilizing the LBRY network.
@deegeese @TheDarksteel94 you understand it was a Chinese site first, right, and that Americans decided to use it? The Chinese government owns 50% of every company in China, that’s “Communism with Chinese characteristics”
2·3 months ago@ByteOnBikes 100% of people die, so 100% of people who toke die.
The YouTube kids app is so incredibly useless in order to comply with government regulations that all our kids use our accounts. Which also sucks.

@FlashMobOfOne I agree with you on a personal level. If others want to volunteer to do such I think they have a right to, even if I would recommend against them personally exercising such a right.
@awwwyissss @FlashMobOfOne if a cause is just it should be able to be taken care of voluntarily.

@jonsnothere @Dyskolos yeah, I just saw this when I searched for it aussieexotics.com/2009/08/05/b…
I would suspect no one is actually this tone deaf, in which case this is a funny joke. Then again, I did recently speak with a zoomer who wasn’t familiar with what 9/11 referred to, if they are representative of their generation the idea of a tank to warsaw from berlin might not bring about imagery of Nazi occupations of Poland.
There’s nowhere in the Bible that it says everything of the faith is contained in the bible. Though it does say that we should cling to tradition even if not written “Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.” 2 Thessilonians 2:15
That being said, the Church usually points to Jesus as having instituted the sacrament of reconciliation here "Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” John 20:23
@Thanks4Nothing well share the link mate.
@3c906042e889f081619588980bcf1ebca6a5443022ad6dd8205aba269577212b by chance do you know the original source of this image? I think @Thanks4Nothing has a great idea. It could be a fundraiser to suppor the ongoing costs of sopuli.xyz
@P4ulin_Kbana I’m a good parent. The kids are with us all the time, if they were doing something they weren’t supposed to I’d know. Honestly, I tink I’d rather they be doing something nuferious than watching annoying kids videos, alas they prefer to watch the later too often watching other kids play scream and play with toys that we already bought that they never play with.
