Fry the onions until the entire Universe behind them becomes transparent, revealing the wallpaper of the laboratory where it is kept as an experimental energy source.

That's a common misspelling of "thrive".

That seems to be exactly what they're implying.

Mining is a big reason. And radiation shielding, as others have said.

I donate 10% of my income every month, which is as much as I can and also 33.3x more than 0.3%. Don't paint everyone with the same brush, especially not to defend the haves from the have-nots.

I agree. I don't go to church. I donate to a children's hospital in my city.

I agree, but don't forget that holding the overprivileged responsible to society for the wealth that society gave them is one of the necessary steps towards that reform. Without a culture of giving back, the change we want will never happen.

Well, there are still villains like Lex Luthor, Kingpin and Amanda Waller to represent the actually evil part of society. They're just a minority because goofy over-the-top villains in silly costumes are more entertaining for the kids.

I averted a nuclear holocaust ten minutes ago via the Butterfly Effect. You're welcome.

If your diet lacks certain vitamins, a vitamin supplement may help. If not, it won't. Excess vitamins are eliminated by a healthy body.

It's almost like people won't publicly criticize the government when the government imprisons and kills people who publicly criticize it and their families.

Outdoor advertising still works. TV ads still work. Social media advertising won't collapse. It may become less effective if legislation moves towards greater privacy protection but it'll still be effective.

I upgraded my ten-year-old gaming PC this year and switched from an Nvidia GPU to an AMD one. You're welcome.

Jitsi, the open-source video conferencing platform, now requires a Google, Microsoft, or Facebook account for their online service (jitsi.org)

While Jitsi is open-source, most people use the platform they provide, meet.jit.si, for immediate conference calls. They have now introduced a “Know Your Customer” policy and require at least one of the attendees to log in with a Facebook, Github (Microsoft), or Google account....

Possibly stupid question: if they found out that people were doing illegal stuff on it, doesn't that mean that they were monitoring people's conferences? I thought that the FOSS community was big on privacy.

Because it's a lot easier to educate people you get along with than to antagonize them and hope that they spontaneously come around to a point of view that you just made them associate with being rude. The association doesn't have to be true to be harmful, as is proven by the fact that they were already bigots to begin with.

It might actually preclude some games from even getting a Switch port at all due to performance.

Don't worry about it, you were right.

Christians: Jesus is too woke (onlysky.media)

I recently described why I think “woke” has become a vacuous word that means little more than “libtard” in modern parlance. It seems apropos, then, that Christianity Today also recently released a piece that saw the editor-in-chief claim (in a previous NPR interview) that evangelical Christianity is moving too far to the...

No True Scotsman. Yes, they have been taught Christianity. The problem is that Christianity often contradicts itself and most people choose to pay attention to the selfish parts instead of the hard parts that would actually help them to become better people.

That's what he said, true. You should pay more attention to what he did. I'm talking about Jesus the character here, because I don't really believe that such a person actually existed. But if he could multiply bread and fishes, then he could multiply swords and arrows. If he could heal the sick, and kill trees with a thought, then he could sicken the healthy. If he could turn water into wine, well, people are 80% water and alcohol is lethal in large doses. If he could take demons out of a person's body, force them into pigs and then make those pigs commit mass suicide, he could have chosen Roman soldiers instead of the pigs. But he didn't.

Yes, he flipped out once, when he saw that people were using a place he considered sacred to turn a quick buck by scamming the faithful. That's understandable. The fact is (as far as I can use the word "fact" for a fictional character) that he could have used his divine powers to make it rain blood on his enemies, both figuratively and literally, like some of the prophets before him had done (e.g. ten plagues of Egypt, siege of Jericho), but didn't. He chose to let himself be killed instead just to set an example. That's hardcore pacifism.

This is still an issue for me. I have not been participating because I can't see notifications.
