Shepherds only really stay out in their fields during calving season, i.e. And in Israel, that’s mid-December to mid-January.
But really, anything actually written about Jesus before the age of like 30, is likely completely made up during the Council of Nicaea in 325AD.
Before that, the Trinity wasn’t fully mainstream, because Jesus was considered a created being and not god himself. At least by a large percentage of early Christians.
Hitler actually did both. Several of his “girlfriends” were 14 when they met.
He also managed to become the guardian of his 14 year old niece at one point.
It’s an opinion that’s not completely unique. I’ve heard the same a few times.
There’s also a group who will not let the Bureau of Indian Affairs change its name, not because they like it, but because… well, complex reasons but one of them was a sort of “fuck you”.
I’ve been gaming exclusively on Linux for a few years now, and I can say Bethesda games, and specifically modding Bethesda games. That shit works a well as can be expected on windows, and if you keep the mod list light, can actually run better than vanilla.
I will say, the free Fallout 4 creation club content good enough as far as light modding goes, and runs extremely well.
Skyrim on the other hand, would honestly probably be fine if their creation club had half the mods that I want to play with.
Which is sort of wild.
Marx was very clear that communism could not be delivered by heroes on horseback. But then again, Tankies don’t like Marx, they like Lenin, the man who lost an election to actual communists and then had them all killed. He seized power via coup, and then made himself a king, and wrote how kings (vanguard parties) were somehow vital to communism, and how democracy was not.
Except for the subtle Chinese propaganda constantly fed to the rest of the world. Now the propaganda is blatant enough for people to abandon the app, so the world is technically better for the US seizure. The app went to shit, but it was already pretty bad, so no net loss there.
Eh, it’s actually a wash. China did the exact same shit with different key words. They were just smarter about it.
And most of the censorship was in China.
Because China is a totalitarian dictatorship, and is no ones friend.
Just because the US is shit, doesn’t make China any better. The world isn’t black and white, it’s mostly black and dark grey.
They’re already doing that. There are reports that content from the DNC isn’t being served anymore, even to subscribers.
And Tiktok isn’t the only place for that exact type of content.
People are already jumping ship to other platforms.
Ah, but that’s the thing. There are always new platforms.
The current winner seems to be a new one called Upscrolled.
The guy behind it is a Palestinian out of Jordan, with Australian citizenship?
Anyway, that’s all I currently know about it, the app is being hugged to death by tens of thousands of new users over the last day or two.
They aren’t Microsoft anymore, they’re full on Microslop.
I’m calling all of it microslop. So there’s that.
Back when CECOT was under construction there was a puff piece about how they were “taking back the country from the violent gangs” which was why the government was arresting anyone even accused of being in a gang.
They billed this as somehow a good thing.
I remember it was painless, except for some drivers.
But I also remember having to choose how to set up the partition table, including what format it would be in. I didn’t know the difference between any of them, just that ext3 and reiserfs were “good”. So I flipped a coin.
Slackware has a gui, but it’s not a simple “click here to install” type. It has you creating your own partition table, with all the options.
Hell, I looked at installing Slackware again a few months back. I think I’ve said enough.
Coincidentally, I actually did install Slackware as one of my first distros some 20 years ago. I actually had one of those old Linux for Dummies books, which made the experience close to painless.
Sadly, the call of PC gaming pulled me back to windows for a while. But with Steam, and more specifically Proton, now those calls are coming from inside the house.
It is harsh. I’m hoping for the AI bubble to crash. For a lot of reasons, but partially so that I can buy parts at reasonable prices.
It is, but my current setup is struggling.
Microsoft has driven me away from Windows at least a half dozen times over the last 20 years.
Each time the siren call of some game or another will pull me back.
I’d played with Linux native games as well, but most of the greats were Windows only.
And yeah, then Proton.
Now I’m trying to save up the small fortune needed for a computer upgrade, and I’m not even planning to pirate Windows.
Man-god allowed himself to be killed to save us from the wrath of god-god. A being who was mad that the creatures he created weren’t spending all day every day worshiping him exactly as he said to, after giving them the free will to do otherwise.
