I think it’s mostly harmless though. Like, we say our cats have spicy black cat energy because it’s fun and makes us think of Halloween, but ultimately they are spicy because all cats are spicy.

Probably referring to this report

President Biden has told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week.

The president, who the ally emphasized is still deeply in the fight for re-election, understands that his next few appearances heading into the holiday weekend — including an interview scheduled for Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News and campaign stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — must go well.

White House has refuted this, and hard to trust NYT as well as its definitely sensationalized a bit.

I’m sick at home with Covid and couldn’t play Xbox…

Also its a reminder that my Xbox series s is just a brick without Microsoft’s services, and when its no longer profitable for them to provide those services it will be a total brick once again and for all time

When I say “early christianity” I guess I basically mean the parts of Acts where everyone would join and sell all their possessions, and the “church” (still a small Jewish sect) was using the funds to help widows and other disadvantaged folks. At least, that is how it was described in Acts

Jesus himself - not a socialist really. I mean, some of his parables are based in capitalism (Parable of the Talents, Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard). He definitely became political, even if he didn’t mean to. Ofc, I don’t really trust the gospels as a historical account.

Fr. He could make one phone call and have the secret service poison Trump, and get off scot free. Probably impeached, but who cares? I thought his no. 1 goal was to stop trump (it obviously isn’t)

I don’t understand how over a millennia of one entity controlling the vast majority of the christian religion could have been twisted from a mutual aid society in the Levant into this? I mean there’s no history of any bad things Christians did before this

Also, fuck Paul. I grew up christian and still identify with much of Jesus teachings, but anyone who believes the bible is inerrant is a total dipshit

I used to like wargame and was considering warno in the steam sale. Ill avoid eugen games now though thanks for the info

Its such bullshit. He definitely exaggerated as well as referring to the Obama years, 10+ years ago. Bro would break his hip if he swung a golf club now.

Like trump baited him and he took it and stooped to trumps level. Just made himself look like a fool for no benefit

I bought and installed it but still haven’t gotten around to it. The reviews are good though and CPP played it so maybe check out his lets play.

Also the new patch for C:S2 really improved things a lot with the second is simulation. It needs a lot more other things but its improving and might be better than the original in a few years if they keep it up

You decide by being born.

Samaritanism is the same religion as in ‘the parable of the good Samaritan’ in the new testament, though obviously evolved

Is it a gamble? It shouldn’t be that hard to beat trump. Any other possible candidate would’ve smoked him in the debate.

If he steps out of the race now, do his delegates become unbound?

It wouldn’t automatically go to Kamala, she isn’t technically on the ticket even. That gets formalized at the convention.

Its all a moot point though because he won’t step down

Just settle this with a round of golf

It was already on sale, but if you like city builders, logistics, and communism then Workers and Resources is fresh out of early access and supposed to be really good. Same publisher as manor lords and some other good games. I was gonna give it a try tonight

It may have a websearch tool, but also might know enough from its training data. Maybe they scrape publicly viewable instances of anything for training.

What Jesus said and did is mostly pretty dope. The early church was dope to and fully organized around mutual aid. But then it quickly became authoritarian/apostolic. Even in a ‘leftist’ church the precedent always seems to be respecting authority above all else

You leftist bozos have no idea how hard it is to make payments on my lifted F350, my wife’s Suburban, all the while still paying off our mortgage for our 6 bedroom 8 bath. Not to mention Disney increased prices which will make our Florida vacation even more expensive. Trump please save us…

I mean I’ve more or less been using chatgpt as a google replacement for a couple months now

I know little to nothing of uk politics. But maybe to build new stuff and fund NHS in general maybe they should raise taxes? Only conservatives are allowed to use the “economy is gonna grow for sure trust me bro” line

The one relatively rational lemmy.ml user getting flamed for stating facts. Lemmy.world is like r/world news but worse, what a shithole
