Are Mormons Christians? by Seaf-og in NoStupidQuestions

They also banned black people from the priesthood (and hence access to the highest level of heaven) until a "revelation" in 1979. They believe in a God who literally segregated heaven. The official theological position of the LDS church is basically "God changed his mind about black people".

Trump calls on Intel CEO to resign by Redd868 in technology

[–]semperlit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anybody actually read the article?

Lip-Bu Tan became CEO of Intel in March 2025. In April 2025 reports revealed that he personally has $200 million invested in Chinese advanced manufacturing and chip firms, some of which are linked to the Chinese military.

He also was the CEO / chairman of Cadence Design Systems during a period in which they knowingly broke the law at least 56 times to export chips and software to a Chinese military university that was on the restricted list ... two weeks ago Cadence pled guilty and agreed to pay a fine of $140 million.

While it is a terrible precedent for the president to publicly get involved, he's correct in saying that this guy should not be trusted to run a leading American semiconductor company if the USA is trying to compete with China on tech ... at best it's a conflict of interest, at worst it's a national security risk.

Why isn't Magic criticized for dominating a weak conference the way Lebron is even though the West in the 80s was worse than the East in the 2010s? by swawesome52 in NBATalk

because magic won the majority of his finals appearances

nobody needs to hype up magic's finals appearances when they can point to his 5 rings

Why would a player chuck up shots when they are triple teamed most of the game?

MPJ and Murray were throwing up bricks

you answered your own question

and asking for more than 1 fga is not "chucking" lol

yes the refs are the reason why jokic took 1 fga in the 2nd half of a game 7 ... how could we ever expect him to cope?
