The world is the story, though.

The US made no such promise. The promise was we'd respect Ukraine's sovereignty. We have. Russia has not.

Of course! I don't know why I didn't see it before. Stancil really does sound like creationists.

You sound like creationists.

It's quality low budget sci-fi. Don't expect miracles, but it's worth a watch.

MMO mostly (maybe only) sued people. Not trying to change the law, just have the law and constitution upheld. Her most famous, Murray v. Curlett was a good outcome for religious freedom in the United States and we should applaud her for her efforts.

He used "incent" as a verb and I think I hate him even more now.

I only occasionally listen but I have found what I've listened to worthwhile.

Yes…. 🙏🏻

I think most elected Ds got into politics for this kind of stuff. The kind of person who thinks yelling "AUKUS" gets votes.

If atheists were easier to spot they absolutely would be. Atheists have no organization to defend themselves with. They have no religion so they can't use it to avoid a law they find offensive. Last I checked, atheist was the only group a majority wouldn't vote for as President.

I see offensive comments online all the time from Christians. Almost always from Republican politicians making it plainly obvious non-Christians aren't welcome in America. Just look at the transcript of Vance's recent remarks. And he's the VP! He's not some rando online.

If atheists were easier to spot the discrimination would be overwhelming.

On Usenet you'd constantly get evangelical Christians invafing newsgroups and preaching at atheists and evolutionists

The billionaires seem to really like it. Or at least find it acceptable enough not to say or do anything about it. My only hope is the next D President has been taking notes on who all the Quislings and collaborators are.

It's the ability to write grammatically correct sentences that really impresses people.

What a bizarre speech. He attacks Mamdani for not being grateful and yet Vance's entire speech is just hatred for America as it currently is now. Hates illegal immigrants. Hates legal immigrants. Hates non-whites. Hates non-Christians. On and on.

Atheism is about belief (or the lack thereof), not claims.

Theism is the belief that at least one god exists. Atheism is the lack of belief in the existence of any gods.

Write the number of gods you believe exist on a piece of paper. If the number is zero then you are an atheist.

We can't think outside the universe. This is how NASA defines the universe: "The universe is everything."

It took well over 30 questions but it finally got mine correct. I chose the most famous cyclist in the world and I thought it wouldn't take so long.

The AI's textual analysis is wrong. That seems salient to your point that it's good at textual analysis.

Done.

I beat the snot out of the computer on my first try. 36-22-42. Computer seemed to pass an awful lot, though.

Most can't possibly be old enough to have been consistently online in the late '80s.

And in the very early '90s, most accounts were through college and no Millennial was in college until the late '90s.

I was in okay shape in my 20s, particularly after I joined the Navy. But I wish I had *really* buckled down on fitness as there's no way my fitness level in my 40s could have compared with the best I could do in my 20s.

You list things that existed 10+ years after the internet first started being widely adopted. I'm sure boomers who were first online in the late '80s and early '90s remember things you've never experienced.

I've met aggressive atheists and I've never known them to have a seed of doubt about their own rightness so I'm not sure what you're referring to. I've also met very, very few who *demand* that others agree with them.

Because it's AI. I had AI forced on my email. The first time it popped up to summarize an email it was for an email that was one sentence. The AI summary took three sentences to summarize one.

I turned that nonsense off right quick.

Beautiful scenery and riders who try. That's all I ask for.

A gift not a bribe. You can't be serious.
