While the Bible contains each of these concepts in both the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, it does not seem that Christian and Jewish texts were the intended target of the ban, but rather books written by queer or Black authors.

So what, if those are the absurd rules that have passed they should be applied. If your special book meets the criteria sounds like a good reason not to have such a law in the first place.

They truly are empty inside.

Same here, friend. Still hits me every now and then when I see a Steam game with a recommendation from his curator page. Doesn’t happen too often these days, but still the occasional older game I haven’t picked up yet goes on sale.

This looks pretty interesting! I haven’t used fedora before either so could be good to give it a go. I’ve had some issues with my Pop OS install so could be a good excuse to try something new.

Such a tough and heartbreaking situation. Of course I’m pretty sure most of us would like to think we’d step up if our country was brutally attacked but I honestly have no idea what I’d do. Facing seemingly endless meat waves would be hell by itself let alone thermobaric bombs and drones.

What? How about eternitsies?

People would just point out that the whole thing is Al generated though.

Do I really need to explain how state laws vs federal laws work to you? I refused to believe you’re that stupid. Taiwan makes it’s own laws and is not beholden to obey the laws of a parent state. You’re simply lying again.

The Taiwanese passport is fine for international travel, ranking 35 vs China’s 68 so by this logic I guess China is also not a country. Again you’re simply lying. Maybe you’re used to people just accepting things but unfortunately that doesn’t hold up to even the slightest scrutiny as with your other ‘facts’.

What does trade and embargos have to do with anything unless you’re also asserting that the vast majority of countries in the west are also not countries. This is just embarrassing. Again, I suggest sticking to CCP talking points because you don’t seem able to defend your position on your own.

It’s too late, we can’t contain it

Ah yes, the comparable states of Hawaii, Quebec and Crimea which famously issue their own passports, have their own heads of state, pass their own laws and are not subject to the laws of parent states. At least Palestine is a closer example but Palestinian statehood is in the best case for your argument debatable and that’s being very generous.

It seems like you’re either trolling as I suspected from your first comment or you’ve wandered much to far from your safe space where people might actually believe that nonsense. If you want to cast doubt on Taiwan’s sovereignty I suggest you stick to the classic talking points from the CCP which are also wrong but at least there’s actually something to get into there rather than just clumsy analogies that don’t hold up until the faintest scrutiny.

You know I was genuinely interested to see if someone could come up with a meaningful definition of a country that would exclude Taiwan, but include all other countries. It seems like the solution is to simply make shit up, points for trolling though I guess.

It truly is the century of the Linux desktop.

I’m not too sure honestly. I actually think the debate can only hurt Biden because the people voting for him are the only ones who might actually care about the substance of a debate. If you’re voting for Trump at this point, what can he really say to move people away? I really hope I’m just being too cynical though.

I sense a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of wallets cried out in pain, and were suddenly emptied.

Brb buying stocks in sunscreen companies.

Even batteries and wind have seen some pretty serious cost reduction. It’s looking pretty great for renewables.

Carbon taxes simply make sense. The more this kind of thing happens the more interest and investment there will be in better alternatives like precision fermentation.

Oh boy, if they’ve been there since 2022 I’ve got some bad news…

I was curious about what the other recall was since they say again, looks like it’s to do with the truck bed:

The company also issued another Cybertruck recall, this one for a trim piece along the truck bed which can come loose and fall off.

At least it’s fairly mundane. I’ve never owned a first run of a new model but still had to take my Subaru in for a recall one time because the airbag would sometimes shoot shrapnel in your face. That was a pretty big one though with quite a few models impacted.

Hopefully they get these issues ironed out soon so folks can get on with enjoying the vehicle they bought.
