That's what the right doesn't seem to get - we aren't really concerned with "representing the colors" or being the snappiest memelords. We just recognize good governance, good ideas, and an acceptance that no complex problem has a simple solution.

If you have no choice but to fight, the quicker you end it, the less likely you are to get hurt by it.

I'm hoping we don't have the earth-salting anti-southern problem here on Bluesky like we did at the other place but I'm glad this post is here as a sign for me to tap

I initially read that phrase as "virtuous and cruel" and it occurred to me that some are out for revenge and not justice

I think we've hit upon the breaking point - asking randomness to do the thoughtful work for us.

Same for Elite, which was a mindblowing miracle back in 1984. Minecraft also an exception, but it does admit its chewy content is mostly fixed in place (and then randomly placed).

I've always thought that any increased cost due to new technology not having enough scale, will eventually get paid back in dividends from reduced healthcare demand.

Imagine an intrepid RV full of mobile infrastructure whose sole purpose is to connect to a firewalled-state's hardline and then provide wireless/satellite access and I think I just described the subplot of The Matrix.

I guess it's a question of whether the purging of ethnonationalism or the purging of authoritarian sentiment was the goal.

Could be argued (and has been) that the religion itself was hijacked less than 50 days into its inception.

But, as you said, it's very easy to twist individual words (which go through multiple translations with their own agendas) to have him be the hero or the villain of whatever it is they want to defeat in their particular context.

My general belief about these stories is that Jesus was railing against Roman authority or supplication to such. You can bet I'm against any interpretation of his life that assigns blame to an entire culture.

CORRECTION: Moneychangers. I have been informed that "-lenders" was a subtle anti-semitic jab and it was not my intention to promulgate that with this reference.

History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes, and Jesus getting executed after trashing the moneylenders was the original "Just What Machine Did You Think They Were Raging Against, Paul Ryan" moment.

There was a Wendover about this recently - the East still hasn't caught up to the West economically and culturally and this feels oddly like 1932 all over again

The moment a fun thing becomes exploitable for social clout, it ceases to be about the fun anymore. It's also why I never play board games competitively.

I mean, the fun thing is still happening, but it's not being shared with hundreds of others who like fun things. This is a fun thing that everyone should be able to enjoy, without worrying that it's not being influencer-ed enough.

Today, a fun thing got cancelled because it wasn't full enough of people who use their fun thing as a career and it didn't tick enough boxes. Congratulations on denying people fun.
