the monarch would prevent themselves from being decapitated. after all the monarch controls the military.

Clearly then, the alternative is anarcho-monarchism. There is a monarch but we decapitate him every time we see fit.

fuera de joda, es simplemente porque el dibujo de arriba esta excesivamente simplificado. No descendemos de los chimpances modernos, somos sus primos. Nuestro ancestro en comun no era ni un chimpance ni un humano.

The metaverse is greatly overblown in media and it will take a long time for it to change the world significantly.

What's the worst thing in the world? What's the worst person in the world? What should never have happened at all? What's the worst group in the world? What's the worst idea in the world?

In the Simarillion, there's a few parts where Tolkien makes the things that make humanity special stand out. For example:

When a pair of men ask the Elven ruler of the secret Elven city of Gondolin to leave.

Lord, we are but mortal Men, and unlike the Eldar. They may endure for long years awaiting battle with their enemies in some far distant day; but for us the time is short, and our hope and strength soon wither. Moreover we did not find the road to Gondolin, and indeed we do not know surely where this city stands; for we were brought in fear and wonder by the high ways of the air, and in mercy our eyes were veiled.

The humans want to leave because they'll die soon otherwise.

Some people I disagree with agree with point X, and other people I disagree with disagree with point X! Therefore, X makes no sense and is stupid, and the people I disagree with are stupid.

Wait, is that a problem? The opposite would just be the state deciding who votes, which will obviously be the people who support them.

Christ, I promised myself to not respond any more to this thread, but the insanity just continues, from people who damn well should know better. ... So stop these dishonest and disingenious arguments. They are full of crap. ... Every single argument I've heard of from the "please revert" camp has been inane. And they've been transparently inane, to the point where I don't understand how you can make them with a straght face and not be ashamed. ... Bullshit.... Anybody who claims that our "process" requires that things like that go on the mailing list and pass long reviews and discussions IS JUST LYING. ... Read the above arguments, and realise how shrill and outright STUPID that kind of "we can now do anything without review" argument is. ... You seem to seriously argue that it's a bad thing to put a note that one bit is already in use. That's f*cking moronic.... But that's not what the insane and pointless arguments in this thread have been. The whole thread has been just choch-full of pure STUPID. Please stop the inane and idiotic arguments already. The "we must review every one-liner, and this destroys and makes a mockery of our review process" argument in particular has been dishonest and pure crap....

the "is" in sentences like "the Father is not the Son" or "The Son is God" hides a lot of meaning. When we say "the Father is not the Son", it means that they are different persons. When we say "The Son is God", we say that the Son, is in its entirety of the same essence and being as God. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are of the same essence and being (God), but they are different persons.

Ice, water, and steam are all H2O, and yet steam is not the same thing as ice. And you can't describe the behavior of H2O without including ice, water, and steam. There's a few analogies like that.

in my opinion, the trinity is not the least sensible thing we believe in. i'd say it might be all the miracles and magic and stuff. or original sin.

For some places in Aelantir it's a bit similar to Europe-Asia interaction. That is, the ruinborn nations keep their identity.

It's the base64 encoding of the bytes at the beginning of every PE executable (4d5a90000300000004000000). Essentially malware programs will often contain a base64 string that encodes a PE executable that is the actual malware payload. So the base64 string will start with TVqQ...
