Not trying to be argumentative, but can’t Meta and governments already scrape everyone’s RSS feed in the Fediverse? It’s open; that’s the point.

Remodel as residential?
We have an article by Kaspersky Labs about why Kaspersky Labs’ software is just fine and totally not used as a back door by the Russian government.
Was the Kremlin spokesperson not available?
The North: “We’ll make slavery illegal, except for prisoners”
The South: “That gives me an idea.”
To be fair, the North uses corporate prison slavery now, too.
“Happy Juneteenth”, now get your ass back to work, slave.
*ghoti
Once again, not a drag queen.
It seems the church leaders have developed a sizable lead over the drag queens in this category.
I hate it, but…
Doesn’t he have a constitutional right to slaves, if they are prisoners?
(The Thirteenth Amendment needs amended to remove this loophole.)
They let you tickle your girlfriend at the office? That’s pretty progressive!
Right. Do they have a manager assigning them work? And then after a couple of weeks of mouse-juggling, no assignments done.
It sounds like poor management, too, aside from the mouse-jiggling.
You think we should not incarcerate this guy, and let him have access to guns again?
I can only think/ hope you misread my post.
Or more likely, Jesus was an eminent rabbi of the era, that oral stories expanded for hundreds of years, until he became a literal avatar of a god.
Or maybe he was a fraudster like another magician of the time - Simon Magus, who is mentioned in the Bible. Simon was an escape artist, and had a levitation illusion. That’s not far from water to wine or walking on water.
Can he just go away for a very long time? And never have access to guns? That would be good, too.
Birds aren’t even real, man
Show me 12 guys that experience something absolutely world changing, and none of them write anything about it for decades and then tell me they were factually motivated
Literacy and writing were uncommon then, though.
I agree with this and do not dispute it.
However, I think there is value to the human mind in performing ritual, meditation, and positive thinking. We can think ourselves into feeling better. The placebo effect works, even in you know about the placebo effect.
Jesus didn’t know about these things 2000 years ago, but the stories about him make him seem like a worldly rabbi. He might have seen evidence of people getting better from disease through the power of prayer. (Never amputees, though.) The human body can fight disease; it can never regrow a limb.
The human mind also tends to remember positive experiences, and tends to ignore things that don’t seem to work. This is how fake psychics and cold readers work. You send out a bunch of guesses, and get a couple of “hits”, and the client remembers the hits. We all remember the hits. It’s harder to remember the misses. (Side note: I experienced a palm reader at a party and experienced this first-hand, and despite knowing their techniques, I still felt it a little.)
All this makes me believe that our brains are generally susceptible to a construct like religion. And that there could be some value in meditation, ritual, and positive thinking. However religion is frequently a grift and makes people do bad things - it doesn’t have to be, though. Being quietly spiritual is ok, which is what Jesus taught.
Ah, I didn’t understand how the app worked. Thanks!
PeerTube could use some love.
Pixelfed is pretty damn easy.
That is uplifting news! Thanks for sharing!
