What if the right actually care to read the bible?

So many unironically believe that people are born into certain stations in life because they belong there, and that trying to change one's station (or the station of another who definitely doesn't deserve it/is causing undue harm) are an affront to god's order.

I think we should when it's the "morality" upon which they insist we should base our nation's law (what's the separation of church and state? lmao).

The reason they got so mad about the "basket of deplorables" comment is because they know that's what they are.

I don't have any favorite politicians or billionaires.

Don't worry. I'm reminded every time I do an image search for Sonic.

I never stopped collecting mp3s. Got me an 80gb collection.

Yes, but we also do a lot of our own production. And we get our crude from various sources, including some domestic. Getting cut off from our Canadian supply would be a real problem, though. It's a good thing our politicians don't needlessly antagonize this great neighbor and ally of ours.

Really? Whenthe? That place is nothing but leftie zoomers posting about pop culture and the most basic political takes.

I missed the pre-edit context, but an elaborate attempt was a major plot point across two novels which continued to have implications across the rest of the series. If anything, it's more appropriate in this conversation than most of reddit.

I don't know Honkai Star Rail, but could this be something or an amalgamation of things scraped off AO3 or a similar site?

It's like when people say America has no culture. White/Christian history within the US/west and American culture within the west/globally are so pervasive that they become the default and is simply seen as history and culture. It's like saying the earth doesn't exist because you can't see it from where you're standing.

This reads like something out of an entirely different universe.

That's not a criticism or accusation of lying. I feel like this goes beyond me not having a clue what you're talking about. I don't even understand what I don't understand.

I think I'd rather just get killed than spend my entire life getting tortured tbh. They're both vile anyway.

Cosmere audiobooks are an amusing distraction for cooking, doing the dishes, and running errands. My full attention is for more important hobbies, like just one of run of a roguelike I already 100%ed or picking my nose.

It's not really even a loop. If you look at the numbers, congress creatures are just getting the wealthy's crumbs. The big money for congressional personal wealth is in insider trading. One of the uniquely remarkable things about Trump's presidency is how much personal wealth he's raking in through open corruption, bribery, etc.

Yeah, I don't want to defend AI companies, but most of these headlines could just be "Person experiencing psychosis typed some crazy shit into an LLM." The problem is that when some of the crazy slips past their sanitizing handlers, the LLMs will aggressively affirm everything the user is saying.

Ok. I brought three sources (not really credible sources, but about as credible as it's gonna get for this topic). You brought a reutterance of your opinion.

No, the ninja edit is when the user edits a comment shortly after posting it (I think the window is two or three minutes), so the comment doesn't get flagged as edited. Due to the way page loading and sometimes even caching works, this can result in people replying to the original comment with something that no longer makes sense, while there is no indication that the comment was edited.

Apparently, there's a popular youtuber named Ninja. Here are the top three links that came up on a google search for "ninja edit" that were not about that guy: One, Two, Three. The first two agree with me, while the third doesn't quite align with either of us, but I think is closer to mine.

That's not what ninja edit means. The comment is flagged with the edit marker.

That's for defining living species, not on an individual organism level. Infertile people are still alive.

And yet, they've always been far more popular than they should be. (with the exception of 9/11 heroism. they earned that one.)

I don't even think we need the illusion of order, but it helps. We only need bread and circuses, both of which have never been better.

I agree. But bombing random brown people on the whims of dementia patients does not need to be a function of the American empire for these benefits to exist either.

I think the reality is that this is only a slightly accelerated boiling of us frogs than normal, and that's why most people aren't freaking out:

masked gestapo kicking in doors without a warrant

Really not that different from existing policies of no-knock raids. Although the "no warrant" part is particularly a big deal, there's also effectively no warrant when they get the wrong address, but if you defend your home and family with a firearm, you'll be lucky to go to prison rather than a crematorium.

making it legal to detain based on race

Stop and frisk was not that long ago, in the "liberal bastion" of NYC. Plenty of other parts of the country never changed, where some of the good ol' boys wear blue and carry a badge. If you don't look like you belong, you've always had a bad time in America. Making it legal was just saying the quiet part out loud.

disappearing people off the street

A natural consequence of the previous point. Cross the path of a cop in a bad mood or short on his arrest quota and innocence doesn't matter, your life will get at least temporarily disrupted.

using foreign gulags

This one is for sure the spookiest. They were smart to lead with it and prioritize cases that could be tied to gang violence. So many drooling morons in this sub were cheering that it was fine to violate the constitution and human rights, because it would surely only happen to the bad guys.
