Awesome. Now it just needs to be more affordable while tasting just as good. Right now, the stuff that actually tastes like meat is priced like a bougie, elitist luxury good.

It was the first time any modern president has admitted that the elites of the party are the millionaires (and billionaires) who fund it, which gives them extraordinary political power — perhaps enough to push Biden out of the race.

In truth, the Democratic Party is little more than a national fundraising machine, as is the GOP.

Ding ding ding ding ding.

Political parties are poison to democracy… and our two-party system is nothing more or less than cancer of democracy.

And why do any of these problems exist at all? Capitalism, and the millionaires and billionaires that such a system enables.

The “media” is largely owned by right wing billionaires. They don’t care if he’s fit, they see him as a means to their ends.

Coalitions are literally the primary way the rest of the world avoids devolving into the US’s corrupt two-party system. It’s proven quite effective.

If that could be combined with RCV in more countries (or US states), then it could far more strongly prevent the consolidation of political parties and return more power to the people themselves.

I had to read that a couple of times before I understood what you are trying to say. At first glance, it seemed like you were calling democracy itself bourgeois, but I think you meant it as a specific thing that isn’t actual democracy… e.g. it’s an illusion of democracy because capitalism gives the wealthy the ability to steer the whole ship, as it were. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Other than Jefferson Davis, who was let off scott-free.

And that’s before we get into Johnson’s “I’m the new Confederate President” behavior immediately after the assassination.

A vote for Biden is a vote for Harris… so…

The “good” news is that Piranha Bytes isn’t involved in that one.

I feel like there should be more of a penalty than “we take it away if you get caught”.

If it had a 1000R curvature, I’d give it serious consideration for my next monitor. I don’t understand why so many manufacturers keep making monitors that big that don’t have the curvature needed to ensure comfortable viewing and operation from the center.

They’ve been like this for decades.

Alright! Now if France and Britain’s new left-of-center leadership can just… PLEASE not fuck it up… there may actually hope for the rest of the planet.

How is that related to OpenAI’s app? It’s not an Apple product.

I haven’t encountered an English translation that didn’t have significant issues. Even well-meaning editions lose a lot in translation. There has long been a stigmatic fear of “changing the meaning” of scripture, which results in a dogmatic use of formal equivalence. The problem with that approach is that language doesn’t work like that, so a translation that is annotatively correct will always be deeply connotatively incorrect.

WEB is one of the better ones - like a Young’s Literal but more readable - but even it falls victim to its own formal equivalence. I strongly recommend taking some courses on Koine and reading the original texts. If you want to read Hebrew texts (such as the Dead Sea scrolls), you can see if your local Jewish temple or community offers Hebrew classes (usually very inexpensive). There are lots of handy interactive interlinear tools available as well.

The quiet part once again being said out loud.

You asked where my plain recitation of scripture comes from, and I answered you. If you don’t like that scripture doesn’t support your wickedness, that’s between you and God, not me. That you can only attack me rather than the scripture itself is telling. 😞

That Apple has any say whatsoever over competing App Stores means they are shirking both the letter and intent of EU law.

Well, if you have one you should read it some time. But since most english versions are awful at best, and deliberately deceptive at worst, I recommend the one I linked.

Sure thing. It’s called “The Bible”.

If you don’t read Koine or Hebrew, this is a good place to start: https://www.amazon.com/Interlinear-Bible-Hebrew-Greek-English-English-Hebrew/dp/1565639774

Most decent password managers (e.g. 1Password, Proton Pass) have MFA built-in. Use those.
