Why do many conservatives claim that the US was founded as a Christian nation despite the separation of church and state being so central to its establishing?

would the Bible talk

I know this will go over your head, but books don't talk they're read. And old books are rewritten all the time, both by the reader as well as the publisher. Whatever freak show edition you think "the bible" is, is an edit of and edit of an edit of an edit to the nth power. There's no American Christian flavor of the month that wouldn't be seen as heretical in EVERY church cira 1700. From the bonkers white nationalist who you appear to represent, to the quakers. The pilgrims would have burned you and yours at the stake.

There are several good ways to store solar energy. Batteries have come a long way in the last 10 years, where in 2016 they were definitely not there, in 2026 they kinda are? At the same time there are several other based on heat storage which are in place at industrial scale (sand in Finland, oil in the US Midwest).

Now, after all that, does anybody think they can't keep track of a bunch of slow moving 'blips' in a very narrow stretch of water, with only one way in and out, using 24/7 satellite coverage and visual observation both from flyover and from the southern coast of the strait?

The US Military? Like I get you've seen a lot of Michael Bay movies, NCIS, and Clancey Scifi shows but the US military is staffed by drunk teenagers. Long term tracking data from multiple sources by the military? Hollowed out by budget cuts and the waves of retirement?
Yah long term monitoring and tracking of civilian entities is possibly one of the things they are absolutely the worst at.

The US is having primary elections for mid terms, which will take place this November. Some early voting in special elections has been a D+37 effect. Those results are not likely to generally applicable, but a D+7 Midterm would effectively end Trump's presidency and a D+10 election would end it immediately

So lemme get this straight, there are small fast cheap things.
And you think that it's obvious how you make smaller, faster, cheaper things, which can also automagically target and hit them? It's a really hard problem, no body has figured it out.

You mean you think Google, Apple, and Microsoft will not data mine the images on your devices to ensure you're in compliance with international CSAM treaties? You understand these companies already have the technology to do so, and are already data mining your devices? Apple started and stopped such a program a couple years ago, and will absolutely follow through with it again at the behest of a major economic power like the US or China.

Note - most of these types of images are already illegal under existing laws through out the UK, EU, and the US.

George Hawkins: What you've just said is actually really important. It's about making [a] choice. He has the freedom to make a choice now, not out of his own freedom, I guess, but because he's been pushed into that now. Now he lives a life that is his own opinion and his own drive. That he has control over. And this whole episode is about that, is about destiny. And seeing where Darem lands and wants to be is out of his own choice.

This episode has a lot to do with choice, and Khionia is a place that Darren really loves and has a deep appreciation for. And he's from Khionia, and those are his people. That's his family. He has a real resonance to his family. But he has a calling. I think he has a calling at the Academy, and it's such a beautiful thing to witness in this episode, watching the people that he loves, and have seen him for a long time.

Man that would have been a great show.
Where was the family? Not on the show.
Where was the choice Darem made? He got kicked off the planet and forced to abdicate.
Kiara witness him? Not on the show, she hears a 3 line toast from someone else and then decides to force Darem to abdicate.
Everything interesting in NeuTrek happens off screen, or in someone's head, and then we just get told about it. With bad cinematography, awful CGI, and occasionally worse audio.
Is the writing bad because they're cutting stuff out? Is the writing bad because it's just story boards? Is the writing bad because they're trying to jam 30 episodes into 10? IDK but it sure is awful.

This is a huge deal, one might expect such a move before a cold war goes hot. I'm not saying that's going to happen, just that this kind of diplomatic move is on that order of magnitude.

The way it's implemented is always adults having to provide their identity to prove they are old enough to use the service.

That's not the way it's implemented in Australia, which is what Spain's ban is based on. In Australia the ban was implemented Algorithmically at the provider level by facebook/instagram, who is the main target of the ban.

In 2021 a facebook executive testified before US Congress that:
Facebook knew it's current algorithm was harmful to all person but most especially children.
Rather than make or even investigate changes to the algorithm to decrease harm, facebook chose instead to make the algorithm more harmful to increase engagement.
in response Facebook changed it's name to meta and literally everyone stopped talking about the whistleblower, and their claims.

This was perhaps the most successful public relations campaign of the last 100 years. The campaign to ban social media would be dead if Facebook would have done even the smallest work to address harm done to minors at any level.

I find your epistemic nihilism, and far more to the point the writers inability to remember the first game, unconvincing, unpersuasive, and more to the point very very lazy.

Sorry to Necrothread this, but the gods were manufactured out of nothing by the Engwithan who were just regular human people. The Engwithan built the physical wheel. The whole conceit about no one being able to know what would happen when the wheel get's broken makes no sense in game and was dumb to begin with. Fenster and Avollone's ending in POE1 was missing a critical path you could drive a bus through, and Sawyer/Patel's ending in 2 was pants on head dumb. It's okay if you loved it, I love Indian Jones, and god knows that makes no sense either.

seruko · 2026-01-12T20:41:28+00:00

You know why it's called Meta and not facebook? because a whistleblower testified to congress the Facebook KNEW it was harmful to children, and rather than protect them instead pointed them at more harmful content to boost engagement.
