Tony Hawk: Ace Combat

while evangelicals currently accept mainline protestant professions of faith as sufficient, that will not last, and it is poison to a free society that professions of Christian faith are so vital to electoral viability

It is just flatly correct to note that the necessity of demonstrating Christian faith in particular as part of being electorally viable is poison to a free society

We should defend secular government while firecely defending freedom of religion. It is not remotely ceding religious observance to do the first, particularly at a time when secular governance is hanging on by a thread

that is not something unique to this era!

real, if it was prot it would be presbyterian

my dad's hobby is cooking and he made every meal, which was very bad for my willingness to spend 5 min on pasta and call it a meal, but very good for my ability to host dinner parties at the drop of the hat that don't embarrass our household

Election Day 2023: Religious Composition Of Political Parties Over The Last 50 Years (ANALYSIS) American religion is shifting rapidly now. The nones are climbing every single year. Mainline Protestants are losing ground day by day. And evangelicals are still having a huge impact on Am...

Ds in 1970s: 12% non-Christian
Ds in 2010s: 34% non-Christian

Rs in 1970s: 7% non-Christian
Rs in 2010s: 18% non-Christian

On what basis are we supposed to believe that "growing non-religiosity on the right" is causing their psychotic behavior?

As we see Christians sort ever further into the Republican party while Democrats are finally breaking into being a non-religious-majoritarian party due to said sortition, it's stunning to hear people argue that it is the *non-religiosity on the right* that is causing this mass death and destruction

Trump's cabinet:
like 20 or so Christians plus Stephen Miller and Elon Musk

Christians on Bluesky:
"Look what the non-religious people made us do!"

Border Czar Tom Homan: Faith and Policy at a Crossroads The Former Border Patrol Agent’s Ambitious Plans to Reform U.S. Immigration Policy May Put Him on a Collision Course With U.S. Bishops

The invocation of prayer in public statements is very much part of the enforcement mechanism of this phenomenon

You're just doing no-true-Christian in a country where almost every politician is Christian for *waves hands* no particular reason

this is silly. Christians in both parties organize against non-Christian politicians

This is true whether the majority is white or Christian

If a 65% majority group organizes to deny political power to any minority members in both parties, and in one party is trying to implement a fascist version of rule-by-said-majority, I think it's ok for members of the minority to be annoyed, even if they aren't doing politically optimal messaging

In what world do we have a post-religious right? It's as religious as ever! It's in fact shocking how it has stayed this religious *despite* the rise of the total unaffiliated population

I don't think y'all actually regret informing us. Christians inform us constantly and force every politician to publicly do the same whether they believe it or not

(ok i'll stop but thanks for sharing this is sick!)

"bird-norming" instead of batch norming so you can ensure each layer's output can be played as a birdsong and then we can hear the learning of each layer in the types of sounds it produces

VAEs but instead of Gaussian latents it uses "probouncible by starling" latent space" so your hidden layer is both compressed and naturally reproduced

Doing RLBF alignment steps based on which data birds do or do not recreate

If the argument is "Israel is so set on genocide that a constrained genocide was the best we could do", it would've been good to hear that from some of these people at the time!

If it is impossible to restrain a country from committing genocide it is good and proper to work to make it a pariah state, particularly when the population has a large interest in not being one and does still have some political ability to change the government. This doesn't justify the "bear hug".

my name is Peter Johnson and this is funny

the idea that "countless people explaining" something makes it generally available knowledge is equally wrong

has Israel ever offered such cooperation? or is there some other reason it would begin other than through pressure?

this is an unhinged response to people inaccurately believing monetary aid helps people in need

what is the relevant difference as far as boycott effectiveness goes?
