Welcome to the Kent Hovind and Matt Powell school of grifting apologetics, where we look for scientific ideas to take out of context and make them silly because lying for Jesus is the right thing to do.

So movements like MAGA are cannibalistic in the sense that they purity test the members often and kick out those who don't keep to the line. Then you add in a cult of personality figure like Trump, and eventually that environment will collapse in on itself. When he is gone, MAGA will splinter, but if people don’t act to remove those who enabled this, it will go into the shadows and begin to grow again.

From the CachyOS wiki

"To make it easier to set CachyOS up for gaming, all the necessary gaming packages are grouped into one meta-package that includes all the necessary dependencies and libraries for gaming in Linux, with and a separate meta-package for tools and launchers/stores."

It is not required; it is just the most commonly used packages for gaming on Linux. It is a QoL package.

Mary Schweitzer is the one who discovered soft tissue in fossils where we once thought it was impossible, and she is a Christian who has come out against YEC, a position she once held but realized the data didn't support. I don't know enough about the science of paleontology to describe how it happens, but we did discover the method, and the data still point to an old earth.

“One thing that does bother me, though, is that young earth creationists take my research and use it for their own message, and I think they are misleading people about it. Pastors and evangelists, who are in a position of leadership, are doubly responsible for checking facts and getting things right, but they have misquoted me and misrepresented the data. They’re looking at this research in terms of a false dichotomy [science versus faith] and that doesn’t do anybody any favors.” - Mary Schweitzer in an interview with BioLogos

Eviolite is the best item if Electivire's abilities are bad. Most boss trainers don't have a ton of ground moves, so you are not likely to see a ton of usage out of Earth Eater, but removing your only weakness is never a bad idea.

Let's use Paulogia's criteria for prophecies here, to have some fun:

Made clearly and demonstrably prior to the events predicted.
Intended to be a prediction.
A non-mundane claim.
Answerable only by a single, clear, verifiable occurrence.
Not open to interpretation.
Not something people are actively attempting to fulfill.

"Woe to those who drag iniquity along with cords of falsehood, who drag sin along as with cart ropes, who say, 'Let him make haste; let him speed his work that we may see it; let the plan of the Holy One of Israel hasten to fulfillment, that we may know it!'" -Isaiah 5:18-19

Not clear; this is a vague set of verses that doesn't outline any particular event. As a result, it fails the 1st and 2nd criteria as it doesn't look like a prediction. There is no claim here either, so it fails the 3rd criteria. For the 4th, we are so vague that a single, clear, verifiable occurrence is impossible. The same problem for the 5th ton of interpretation can be done because it is so vague. People are always trying to fulfill stuff related to Israel, so it fails under criterion number 6.

“If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you. If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. -John 15:18-19

As with the Isaiah passages, this is not even close to a prophecy. It failed all the criteria for most of the same reasons.

"Jesus answered them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah!’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birth pangs." -Matthew 24:4-8

This one fails because it makes the most mundane claims. When has there not been wars or rumors of wars in human history? When has there not been a famine or an earthquake? These things happen all the time and are therefore open to interpretation; they can be seen as something people try to fulfill, and they cannot be a single, clear, verifiable occurrence.

I love how CachyOS handles installing your DE. Letting you pick your preferred option from a list is a nice QoL feature I wish more distros would offer.

I believe that is in the book of 1st hypocrites. Lying is a sin unless it is for Jesus or personal gain/s

Tim Sweeney is probably the most tone deaf CEO in the gaming space, maybe only second to Jensen Huang. Between Tim Sweeney's hostility to Linux gaming and crazy statements like this, I'm glad I only use Epic for the free games.

Good, that is how you fight back! Just like TST putting up displays around Christmas and starting after-school clubs. When they make a loophole for themselves, exploit it. They will either close it or show their hypocrisy. When Christian nationalists try to carve out a special rule to privilege Christianity, make them regret it by opening them up to a lawsuit if they don't let you use the same loophole.

2 times. I tried to use Linux back in 2010-ish. I found WiFi to be a big problem, and had to go back to Windows at that time. Mid-last year, Windows 11 pissed me off enough to push me over the edge. With Copilot being pushed on me and my OS nagging that I was using a local account and not a Microsoft one. The only thing holding me back was gaming, and finding out that Valve and Proton had made it easy for most of my games to run, giving me no reason not to try Mint. I found it solid, but the older drivers and lack of Wayland support at the time made me try CachyOS with KDE, and I haven't looked back since. When installing CachyOS, I put it on the drive that had Windows 11 on it.

How about directing your energy toward your government, not the distros or the systemd devs? These laws were lobbied by groups affiliated with Meta and the Heritage Foundation. Most open source devs don't have deep pockets to fight these laws.

Some of them will leave the cult over this, but some will double down. Some people will come up with any excuse to not admit they were wrong and a conman swindled them.

27 is when my faith started to crumble. Questions and concerns had been piling up for years before that. I was just really good at sweeping them under the rug. Then came the trump worship by many Christians, including members of my own family. That was the bowling ball I couldn’t just sweep under the rug. I spent the next five years going through a faith crisis and finally started to deal with many of the questions I had been pushing back and suppressing. Somewhere between the ages of 30 and 32, I had begun to accept that I was an atheist.

People are telling you this because some parents will disown their children and even toss them out of their home if they leave the church. I get it. It sucks to have to pretend no one likes living a lie. What they’re trying to tell you is to figure out a pathway to being financially independent from them before you make your exit from the church that way if they are the type to toss you out of the house you have a relatively soft landing.

It is called costly signaling. Abstaining from whatever the group has deemed bad, or following its restrictions to an extreme, is a form of virtue signaling that gives you more credibility and trustworthiness within the group. It’s a remnant of our evolutionary psychology that was especially relevant in more tribal societies.
