People are getting downvoted for pointing out the obvious logical fallacy in the op too, so yeah.

Right?

I get that the tweeter wanted to just blast on religious folks, but it makes them look like they don’t have an answer.

How one determines right from wrong is a pretty interesting question with a whole lot of guess work and gut feelings for most folks, regardless of faith.

A lot of philosophers, religious or otherwise, have spilled a lot of ink on the topic.

“Threat of eternal punishment “ doesn’t help you figure out right from wrong, just the consequences of choosing “wrong.”

It would also be hilarious.

Oh 100%.

Nobody is arguing it’s not hilarious

Am I missing something, or is the point simply “I can build a computer program in a game that you may be surprised to learn is Turing complete, therefore ai is not sentient?”

I’m not here to argue that AI is sentient, but this is a really lousy argument.

It’s the 22nd Amendment

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

Pretty unambiguous.

Extending his rein would mean he either Stops Elections, gets the constitution amended, or most insidious.. just refuses to transfer power, and seeing if our military is actually complicit with the pedophile class against its own citizenry.

Jan 6 is going to completely embolden them to try again. Is there enough MAGA to make it happen again despite it all?

EDIT: extended rant

Moreover, Democrats seem to have done little self-reflection over whether their aggressive push to implement their progressive values alienated more conservative Americans and contributed to their own defeat in 2024.

Fucking yiiiikes.

Call it VPorN

Or PN in the V

Or maybe something more discreet I guess, but that’s no fun.

I've been slow to make an upgrade, and figure what better time to switch to linux?

Did what I could to try to research that the parts were all fairly linux friendly, with a warning about the motherboard's wifi7 maybe not yet supported yet by the kernel.

Looking for a mid-high range build without going crazy on the cost. Build actually came in a bit cheaper than I expected, so feel like maybe I'm missing something here.

My monitor, which I'm planning to keep, does have G-Sync, but I don't know that I'll miss it.

PS: I know i can get more life out of my old hardware, but I want to turn that into a NAS.

EDIT: Fixed link.

Lifetime Pass Member.. just put on The Devils Advocate (1997) and got a full 30s ad.

… just paused it to verify it was actually in my library… -and got another 2 ads… what the actual fuck? Just me?

EDIT: Looking back at the app, seems I was somehow in Plex Streaming, but how it was put up above my own content I can’t understand, and the movie page does not make it obvious that’s what I’m looking at.

Sorry for Reddit watermark… couldn’t quickly find it elsewhere.

Lmao… right???

Rodgers is known for his belief in alien life and in the supernatural. During his interview with Carlson, he suggested that the government knows of the existence of these beings, but keeps them from public knowledge and could be using religion to manipulate people’s thinking

From the article

The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards regulate taillight design, mandating minimum area, placement, quantity, and visibility according to vehicle category, dimensions, and weight. However, the FMVSS does not appear to prohibit deactivating taillights during braking, so the Cybertruck's taillights as seen here seem to be legal—even if they are perplexing, and potentially dangerous.

I still can barely believe this thing is real, and not something out of a bad 90s movie where video game characters come into the real world.
