Southern Hemisphere. It’s late spring there.

Both. And Easter, too.

Vulture or Type-10 for me. Especially at T-10 with moar spoiler.

Not all of us. I consider him a great candidate for Antichrist.

I didn’t say He hated anyone. In fact, I explicitly said His actions were not motivated by hatred. Jesus speaks of Justice on numerous occasions. His actions in the Temple were not hateful or vengeful, they were enacting justice upon those who abused their power, and specifically power they claimed to derive from God.

Same. Almost every autist I know who has any interest in politics is very strongly leftist. It’s the sense of justice and disdain for obvious bullshit, I suspect. At least it is for me.

I’ve been saying that about Twitter and Reddit from the beginning. Both have been platforms responsible for significant progressive organization. The Arab Spring would likely not have happened without Twitter. Conservatives know they cannot compete in the “marketplace of ideas”, so their only means to compete is to silence the competition by dismantling the platforms progressives use to organize and communicate their ideas.

I don’t know. He didn’t just “flip tables”. In John 2:15, he “braided a whip out of cords” to drive them from the temple. However, in the original Greek, the word used for whip was “phragellion”, which isn’t an ordinary whip. This was the type of whip used in Gladiatorial combat by Romans, and was typically fashioned with weights or barbs at the ends of the falls. This was a whip designed explicitly to do harm, and no other whip in the Bible is described as a phragellion. Making such a whip is a deliberate, premeditated and time-consuming process. I would argue that this specific detail suggests that, while His actions are not directed by hatred, He still clearly intended to hurt the people defiling the temple and abusing their authority.

And these are the only people Jesus ever deliberately harms. Which is very telling.

I earnestly believed that quicksand was going to be a far more prevalent danger in my life than it has.

I don’t have access to wired internet where I am. I have a 5G household wifi hotspot at ~100 Mbps, and it has actually worked great for a lot of other games. I play Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Everspace 2 on it without issue. I’m not really sure what the specifics are, but I’ve had issues every time I’ve played Starfield. I went from Everspace 2 without issues to Starfield playing like a Vaseline smeared slideshow and right back to Everspace 2 with no issues, so I suspect it may be related to something about this specific game, or massive coincidence. I get occasional hiccups in other games, rarely. Starfield has been pervasive lag issues without fail.

My valuable tip: resist the temptation to play on the cloud. It’s frustrating to the point that I put the game down until I can afford a Series X. My PC won’t run it, and my One X can only play cloud, and it’s just so damned unreliable with constant lag spikes.

Can hear this image.

Ray? Ray…

I think they’re suggesting that Conservatives would want Obama thrown into an oubliette for life over just one of the crimes Trump has been indicted for, but believe Trump should get to walk. The hypocrisy is insane.

The First Lesson of Vivek: Where matters of state are concerned, one should always take the most reprehensible approach possible. It is paramount for all decisions to make as little sense and be as broadly harmful as possible, lest you be seen as weak. Everything one does must serve the bottom line of Owning the Libs, as the Nerevarine shall own Dagoth Ur.

I couldn’t see it.

Love Steve. Dude is always on point.

Somebody explained to him that he can’t release something that doesn’t actually exist.

Society is working just fine for those of us who haven’t abandoned objective reality.

Good. I despise Trump, and look forward to seeing him and all of his crooked cronies behind bars. However, nobody has any right to threaten or attempt to harm anyone. This imbecile deserves the full weight of the law just like all of these morons threatening the judges and prosecutors overseeing Trump’s now numerous indictments.
