It’s not so much about Jesus himself being a political figure, it’s more a question of which ideologies more closely align with his teachings. So it’s probably more accurate to say “liberal ideology is significantly more similar to Jesus’s teachings than conservative ideology.”

Fun fact, hops are in the same plant family as cannabis (Cannabaceae)

Mine also includes ESPN+ and it’s only $17.99. I wonder if they are going to raise it on me

Every year, 4 million people are newly eligible to vote as they turn 18, while 2.5 million people over the age of 65 lose their ability to vote due to death.

They are bad at most things.

Why do you use Edge over Firefox?

Maximum Age at election = median life expectancy

If you want to serve longer, make people’s lives better.

The Fountain is my favorite movie of all time, and it has a 52% critic score on RT. Audience Score is better-ish though at 77%, so maybe it’s just the critics who didn’t get it.

What does Hunter Biden have to do with cocaine found in a public area of the White House? What does Hunter Biden have to do with the White House at all? Does he work there?

What person? Whose connections?

On the contrary to a couple of other posts here, I had a Photon Mono 4k that gave me nothing but trouble for weeks until I boxed it up and put it in storage. I must have tried 30 different prints and had success with only two.

I’m generally very tech savvy, trial and error oriented, and have had a lot of success with FDM printing so I don’t think it’s me. It’s possible I had a bad model but in the time between buying it and first using it, the return policy had expired.

So of course it’s anecdotal but I’d recommend something other than the Mono 4k.

I suppose I could have clarified by differentiating between “Republican leaders” and “Republican followers” - the latter group being largely irrelevant to discussion because they’ll believe and regurgitate whatever the first group tells them to. So by “they” in this case, I mean billionaires, politicians, and “influencers” of those philosophies

Well, it makes perfect sense when you realize these people view kids as nothing more than instruments of economic growth - forcing parents to work in conditions they don’t want to, to make ends meet. And nowadays, even lowering working age and working conditions for the kids themselves to force them to work as well. They are purely pro-capitalism and they want the kids to be forced to be born so there will be a steady supply of meat for the grinder. It’s that simple.

That’s more of a commentary on the state of the planet

I also hugely doubt China’s blustering is as severe as Russia’s. I know all militaries overstate their capabilities but I think one of the biggest factors in Ukraine’s successful defense so far was that Russia was spouting all stars and then it turned out they had more like a junior varsity high school team. I think the delta between the perception and reality of China’s military capabilities is much lower.

Fringe is an absolute masterpiece beginning to end and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. NO NOTES.

No, I totally agree! A standard “happily ever after” would have been so boring. The ending we got gave context to why Ted was sharing the story with his kids. I was “surprised” at first, but really I think if people consider how the alternatives they wanted would have played out, it wouldn’t have been meaningful.

Most reasoned answer.

I think the interesting thing to see will be how many people, like me, who used to post OC (mostly projects I’ve worked on, discussion topics, and what I thought were interesting articles) have stopped. I used to go into posts asking for help in areas I was knowledgeable, and provide assistance to newbies in the various hobby subreddits I subscribed to. None of that is happening anymore. I’m getting my memery from Lemmy and my discussion from Tildes now. Absolutely no reason to go to or interact with reddit at all.
