Piracy cracker for adobe

Yeah that’s very weird. Especially since being autistic isn’t exclusive to left wingers

Doesn’t wordpress already do this with an activitypub plugin?

Met a few ex terrorists. Northern Ireland is cool.

HTML Website is cool. A child of that age might be able to write basic HTML. I wasn’t much older when I made my own site

@emperor@feddit.uk is no longer around, but he made an excellent point. Communities aren’t your own domain, the site is ultimately run by the admins, therefore the admins on Lemmy should have full rights to take over your community if you’re acting like a power tripping reddit mod who thinks they own that space.

Shouldn’t they pay you more if that’s the case?

🤫 that’ll upset our precious 1%

Good for affordable housing?

religious nutters.

Yes. Specifically the nutters.

Xmas started out as the Winter Solstice and was co-opted by Christians.

No. Christmas is on the 25th of December. The Solstice is the 21st

Halloween is also a Christian holiday. Both are being run by capitalists these days.

It’s a shame how Christmas has become a commercialised hellhole due to secularism instead of being what it originally was: a Christian holiday. It’s always more fulfilling to get back to the roots of it, many churches hold special events for it.

Halloween is similar. Unfortunately, Protestants barely observe the religious aspect.

Didn’t someone say that AI would be better at replacing the CEOs?

While money was a part of it, Peter points out it is about lying. Please note, I am trying to weed out a predatory tactic of “sell everything you have to give to a priest”. Not “billionaires should exist”. In terms of tithing, it’s more about lying.

Acts 5:3-4, 8-9

But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.”

And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” And she said, “Yes, for so much.” But Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

I’m not discounting both readings, I think here it’s a case of “both are true”. But I don’t think Ananias and Sapphira would have died had they just not pretended it was all of their money. Greed was a part of it, but so was an act of deception and stolen valour.

Main thing keeping me away is banking. Unless if I just carry two phones. Quite trendy these days.

I remember they have a telephone thing. Fun fact, if you have two receivers, you can like use the other one to listen in and spy on phone calls.

Is that a landline? We have that in the UK, I used to do that on my mum. Got in trouble quickly when she heard me laughing over the line 🤣

The distance between a dilapidated city slum and a modern-looking shopping mall is like 20 minutes away. Like. You walk 20 minutes, and its like you time travelled. So bizzare when I recall the memories.

20 minutes? I saw some that were right next to each other. I came out of a metro station and was in a pomegranate farm, across the road were newly built apartments.

What I found odd is that their TV provider was their ISP. The TV must have been IPTV and they were allowed to use the internet, by plugging a router into the TV box which had a modem. In the UK it’s generally the other way around, your ISP is your TV provider also.

Where I stayed had a crapper toilet. I don’t think that was the norm, though.

ROC built nukes, maintains sovereignty, becomes a bastion of freedom.

The ROC didn’t become a democracy until the 1990s.

Modern China is definitely better, but CCP’s China wasn’t the only possibility we have, there are much better alt-timelines.

Yeah, that’s basically what I’m saying. However, you can say this about any country. I think the UK would have had a better future if we got “chaos with Ed Milliband”

Disclaimer: I have nothing against the Japanese people, I’m only mad at the Imperialists specifically

You’re allowed to, it’s fine. You shouldn’t need to disclaimer this.

I don’t know if there are breadlines, but definitely a lot of poverty… very underdeveloped. My parents have extremely frugal behaviors… especially my mom.

The Chinese still do that, the ones that came into wealth are still alive. I think that’s the same with any recently developed country. The house I stayed in China was very cluttered but also very clean. Furniture was kind of haphazard and the bathroom was basic. But their tvs and fridges were pretty modern. I think it’s just they don’t know the potential, but this family certainly could have afforded it.

In the villages, the only bathrooms are the communal ones…

I have a memory of it being late at night and walking to the bathroom with my dad…

Like, you literally have to leave your own house to go to the bathroom lol.

What year was this? Genuinely curious. I saw some underdeveloped villages there from the windows of trains and manual farm labourers. My dad also used to have a communal neighbourhood bathroom in the UK when he was younger in the 1970s. Someone else I was talking to was recalling collecting water from the well.

But I don’t think ROC would be wasting crutial time on some “cultural revolution” stuff and actually starting on building the country. But then again, if Japanese Imperialists didn’t invade, it would’ve been a much better timeline anyways. War ruins shit.

Yeah fair, I think if you put China how it is now, ten years ago (accounting for the cultural revolution) it wouldn’t have set it back. Also the one child policy will have extremely concerning implications in a few years

China is such a strange country. The streets are extremely clean minus the dust, the place I was staying had an advanced metro system nearby and endless huge apartments in the area, something I had never seen or experienced ever before. But the water wasn’t running like 30% of the time and even when it was, it was best not to drink it and get it from a machine outside. You’re Chinese so I cannot speak in a position over you, but I do find a lot of westerners seem to underestimate it. And they think we’re behind because there is one bus every thirty minutes to the somewhat big city which is half the side of the centre of their district.

In China they aren’t in bread lines and a lot of people there seem to have a stable life. A few Chinese people I know do genuinely say that life did get better than what it was under the communist party. Keep in mind, this country was still getting peasant girls into harems for the emperor who couldn’t leave his palace ever during victorian times

Okay, so, if all the quiet religious folk were just more quieter, that would stop the megachurch swindlers? How? Wouldn’t it just give them more leeway as we won’t be “forcing our religion on them”, eg, calling out their heresy?

Also, I believe that anyone outside of my religion goes to hell. So it will be neglectful and not loving to refuse to give someone the reason/cause of my belief, or to warn them of impending disaster.

I consider Jesus of Nazareth’s resurrection from the dead a historical fact. Therefore the logical implications from there are that He is God and what He says must be true. I don’t see why I shouldn’t be able to speak about said fact like anyone can speak about other facts and give them my reasons for believing that.

Lastly, if I weren’t practicing my religion in public, that would involve not forgiving other people. It would involve seeking revenge. It would involve being impatient. Things I might do if I weren’t a Christian.

genuinely want to know your thoughts: what do you think we can do?
