Well folks, the crowdfunding for Season 14 has begun in earnest. If you want Joel, Jonah, Emily & the rest of the gang riffing stuff like The Original Series, get your manos on their crowdfunding!
I prefer good faith discussions please. I love the Fediverse and love what it can be long term. The problem is that parts of the culture want nothing to do with financial aspect. Many are opposed to ads, memberships, sponsorships etc The “small instances” response does nothing to positively contribute to the conversation....
I donate, and I’ll donate again, and as far as I know it is covering costs. I believe the person who runs this instance (Jonah) does so because he wants to, and if he should ever decide to close it, then I think he should, if it stops bringing him joy and fulfillment.
I feel like you are devaluing the fediverse by reducing it to monetary value. Simply put: If we are talking about bringing in corporate sponsors and ads, then speaking for myself, not only would I no longer donate, but I would no longer feel connected in any way to this platform.
There are plenty of other forums that aren’t federated but are sustained by people because they want to, not because of monetary gain.
Just look how monetization has leeched the soul out of things like podcasts and YouTube (I’d say reddit, but reddit was never good to begin with). Do you really want that here? I know I don’t. I’d rather see it end than become another site like that.
The same verses that the Pope drives his authority from say that he can so change stuff. Matthew 16:17-19.
17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, b and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades c will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be d bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be e loosed in heaven

my girlfriend found this, and it's ... indescribable, what this means to me. my Hebrew name is Yonah, bc I felt so drawn to him as a biblical character, and yet I wasn't fully able to put my connection to him into words, until this article
"We know why Jonah runs because the prophet himself tells us at the end of the text. Jonah objects that God spares the Assyrians the consequences of their actions. They have done evil and they do not deserve to retain their status as the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Jonah is not particularly impressed with the fasting and the public repentance; but he knows that God finds such behavior acceptable and averts their doom. If Jonah knows that there will be no real change and that Nineveh’s might and cruelty will ride roughshod over his people, why should he prophecize to them? Why do they not deserve justice?"
the idea of my namesake as an autistic dude who has no interest in participating in the absolution of bullies and abusers, who is "grieved unto death" over the loss of a giant plant, who struggled with haShem and is RIGHT ... it makes my name and my identity fit me more than I knew when I first chose them
Antisemitism is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews. A person who holds such positions is called an antisemite. Antisemitism is a form of racism. Antisemitism has historically been manifested in many ways, ranging from expressions of hatred of or discrimination against individual Jews to organized pogroms by mobs, police forces, or genocide. Although the term did not come into common usage until the 19th century, it is also applied to previous and later anti-Jewish incidents.
Maybe to the Samaritans?
I don’t think it is, but I would ask a Jewish person to make sure. Where is Jonah Hill when you need him!?!?
Oh, he just went to go get some milk, he should be back quick.
At least in the United States, smoking is something fewer and fewer people take up these days. This obviously wasn’t the case back in the 50’s through the 80’s, where cigarettes were commonly smoked out in public....
I do like myself a good Japanese game every once in a while, but right now I'm looking for other PS1 games made outside of Japan that are still very fun to play.
Most of the things Psygnosis did; the Wipeout series, G-Police and Colony Wars being the most obvious choices. Tomb Raider is another good one, as are the Tony Hawk games. X-COM: Enemy Unknown is meant to be a solid port of the classic turn-based tactics game. I've heard praise for the Twisted Metal games and Syphon Filter, but haven't played them myself. While I know that old sports games are often considered anathema in the retrogaming sphere, Jonah Lomu Rugby is often considered one of the best games depicting rugby union ever made.
