In case that’s a serious question, the Holy Spirit is one of 3 in the Holy Trinity. The other 2 being the father (God) and the son (Jesus). The Holy Spirit can be summed up as the guiding conscience of Jesus inside you. The idea is once you have accepted Christ as your savior into your heart (symbolized in the ceremony of Baptism), the Holy Spirit is the mechanism through which you live a life according to the teachings of Christ (love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, etc.)
So, yeah, Jesus probably wouldn’t have shared Nazi memes.
It wasnt a serious question. Unserious subjects arent deserving of serious questions, just mockery. If someone is discussing spirits, poltergeists, demons, rising from the dead, performing magic, etc theyve shown themselves to be an unserious person.
You are very matter of factly explaining to me that spirits are in fact real. Do you feel you should be taken seriously in your assertion that spirits are real?
SexismSexism is prejudice or discrimination based on one’s sex or gender. Sexism can affect anyone, but it primarily affects women and girls.[1] It has been linked to gender roles and stereotypes,[2][3] and may include the belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another.[4] Extreme sexism may foster sexual harassment, rape, and other forms of sexual violence.[5][6] Discrimination in this context is defined as discrimination toward people based on their gender identity[7] or their gender or sex differences.[8] An example of this is workplace inequality.[8] Sexism may arise from social or cultural customs and norms.
Nevertheless I stand by what I wrote above.
What’s your point ?
P.S. : My previous comment was :
it’s even more controversial to discuss the three percent IQ difference in (average) intelligence between men and women. For example, see how this comment will be downvoted, even if it is true.
Yeah doesn’t it really suck when people use some arbitrary point system to indicate that you don’t quite measure up to others?
I like it in here. I like Lemmy. I like being sometimes upvoted or even I like being downvoted because I can understand why what people think. Sometimes it will make me change my mind or at least re-think (reconsider). Sometimes I know I will be down devoted and I post anyway just because I want the conversation to rise (to move) in some direction.
For me it’s no more arbitrary than when talking with someone and seeing if they smile or if they frown.

Yes, that is an interesting question as well. I am wondering what the people with near death experiences could still experience from their bodies, because that would make a big difference as well.
Kind of like how any game developer who says that piracy is the reason that they failed financially, even though some of the greatest games of all time are the ones that get pirated the most.
Not to defend HP^[1]^, but if you look closely at the picture, the sticker has an arrow suggesting you to peel off the sticker. I would still say that the intentions of even putting this sticker there is malicious though.
[1]: I’ve also been “scammed” by HP. I have a DeskJet 2130 bought more than 5 years ago. (I guess you could say it was from before HP went greedy.) It was under only very light use (occasional school stuff that needed to be printed out). Every time I came back to the printer after not using the printer for several months, the ink cartridges would have dried out. I would swap them out because they wouldn’t work even after shaking, none the wiser that half of the “empty” cartridges probably could have been revived by wiping it with a tissue. (I discovered this only 1 year ago when I tried it.)
Inkjet printers need to be used regularly, or go through several cleaning prints (which are features of HP printers). That’s not HP scamming you, that’s just how inkjet printers are…
That said, IMO, most people are infrequent printers and would be better served by a laser printer. Toner doesn’t dry out. I have had a brother laser printer for 3-4 years now and haven’t had to change the toner once. Every time I need to print something, it fires right up, and prints it without a fuss.
Yet another reason I’m glad I got my Canon Pixima 5000 series a while back. Individual cheap replacement ink carts with no electronics in them. I can (and have) buy 5 sets of carts for $20 that last me years.
If it wasn’t for photos, I’d have picked up a cheap laser printer.
I kept driving by this place that I thought was a bar when I lived in L.A. called Jumbo’s Clown Room. Eventually I thought I had to stop and go into a place with a name like that. Sadly, it was a strip club (which I’m not into anyway) with a stripper looking as I imagine another stripper could not possibly have looked as bored as she was.
Oh the original Continental Club is in Austin, been there since the 50s. The 2nd location in Houston location opened more recently. There’s a SXSW poster on the right, so I’m going to assume this was taken in Austin
