Hmm… Christian theologians have spent centuries debating whether the components of the Trinity have the same essence, substance, nature, personality, etc.—but have they considered whether they share the same ideology? What if Jesus is a socialist but the Holy Ghost is a fascist?
To be fair, it's mainly the Catholic church that has the "funny hats and gold" thing going on. Protestants are all about the expensive suits and private jets.
And oddly, the funny hats and gold guys have been relatively progressive lately. Definitely a shit history, but certainly better than their modern suits and jets competition
Yeah but all that that was so long ago. Are you implying that an ever-omnipotent and omnipresent god that exists outside of time and space can’t change?
The clearest proof that the God of the New Testament doesn’t exist is that He was unable to formulate the Bible in such a way that it wouldn’t get co-opted by people with an agenda that runs contrary to His central message of tolerance and compassion.
Why would God divinely inspire writers to write down the story he wants to tell, but not divinely inspire it to be copied and transmitted reliably. There are hundreds of thousands of differences between various biblical texts.
Someone says that the Bible is literal truth. The only question then becomes which version of the Bible?
Bart Ehrman goes into great detail in his YouTube channel.
Yeah “bad actors” - but they knew what they were doing and didn’t do anything to stop it.
By pure coincidence they started to make more money from freemium games ads so they pivoted to that, and anyway being blocked by Ms defender was a death sentence. It was not “OMG bad actors are abusing our installers, and 99% of our customers are bad actors, let’s discontinue it immediately and find another market”
Not that it makes it any better, they will somehow be tracking installs anyway. Inaccurately, since they went from “The creator will need to pay for all future installs. The reason is that Unity doesn’t receive end-player information, just aggregate data” to “The spirit of this program is and has always been to charge for the first install and we have no desire to charge for the same person doing ongoing installs” in the span of 24 hours. I’m having a hard time trusting anything they say.
Even if they are not currently lying and have the magical ability to determine the exact number of installs. They have shown that they will arbitrarily change their pricing structure. There is no way they can be trusted. Anyone who can move their project to a new engine would be wise to do so.
Even if they aren’t lying and have the magical ability to determine the exact number of installs, some asshole is going to create a bot net which spams unique installs for developers they don’t like, skyrocketing the number of “installs” and therefore the cost to do business.
all animals are obviously way more intelligent than science gives them credit for. humans were just so callous and careless for centuries that we didn’t bother to pay them any respect. like obviously crabs feel pain when you boil them, why the fuck wouldn’t they? that’s a pretty basic evolutionary mechanism
There is a missing “on average” in the title of this headline, which completely negates the oniony part of the sentence.
This bill did not say that men were exclusively bigger, stronger, and faster, or that women weren’t. It just said that, on average, they are, which is true.
Why that is in an executive order, honestly, there is no good reason for it, but the principle is still the same: lying by omission is still lying, especially in a culture where people only read headlines.

You got it right here but nevertheless missed the point pretty hard. What he said and how he said isn’t the point of the article: what he did and why he did it is what is newsworthy.
