I'm not enthusiastic about supernatural beliefs, especially monotheism, especially Christianity.

la_sombra,

@georgetakei The complaint is actually true. The sketches don't look like him. They look better. But to slightly paraphrase Dr. McCoy, any change is an improvement.

Southpaw Leftist's sketches with the tantrums look a LOT like him and they're HILARIOUS!!

Okay, what movie/TV show/ book has the best take on time travel and why?

la_sombra,

@RickiTarr There was a tv series and a book called "Flashforward", which had little in common, except for the premise, which was that for two minutes everyone on earth passed out, and during that time they all experienced their lives for 2 minutes from 20 years hence. The explorations about how individual people and society as a whole reacted to the revelations were very interesting.

The tv series was cancelled after Season 2, which sucked.

fun fact: if you design a product that takes a barrel-jack plug, and don't specify anywhere if it's center-positive or center-negative, you go to hell when you die

la_sombra,

@foone That seems only reasonable.

(Boss pedals!!)

One question.. what's the additional penalty for not giving the voltage either? And saying, "Use our adapter only"?

Thanks for teaching me what barrel-jack plugs are called.

I'm hardly Christian these days, but I consider myself "Culturally Southern Black Baptist" through and through. Gotta love the churches that organized people to fight for their civil rights.

And so maybe that's why when these evangelicals compare Trump to Christ (or really any mortal man, but him more-so) it makes my gut turn.

It's not just silly, it's ... sacrilegious. I'm not the first to point this out, but somehow... it doesn't register.

Very very odd.

la_sombra,

@futurebird

Scary stuff!

As a non-believer, "sacrilege" is a null concept to me, but what I do feel about that comparison is a cold, sick dread. Not only about how Trump may use this while he's still around, but what views may be imputed to him and what might be done in his name after he's dead. Especially if his death can be cast as martyrdom.

I fear that a... "Trumpianity" may come from Christianity, as Christianity came from Judaism.

Your "it doesn't register" frightens me.

A very clever friend suggested this question and I thought it was great:

Do you feel like your life experiences have crystalized and focused what you believed when you were younger? Basically, same beliefs, just better understood. Or have you radically changed as a person over time? My own addendum is if you feel like explaining why, I'm always curious to know!

la_sombra,

@RickiTarr I was pretty rudderless and a reed in the wind politically for many years. Then I came out as trans and now I'm solidly on the left.

My take on that is that I couldn't stand for what I believed because I wasn't my true self and didn't even know what that was.

I used to model my beliefs, mannerisms, speech, and whole personality on specific men that I knew because I have no internal model for masculinity. (My father was notably not one of those.)

So, "radically changed". ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Extreme-right AfD party's prodigy Daniel Halemba was arrested for Nazi party materials.
    Halemba was to take a seat in Germany's federal state of Bavaria's parliament, but due to being unable to contain glorification of genocidalism until after taking the seat and thereby getting parliamentary immunity, was instead arrested just hours before the immunity would have taken effect.

    Wellll... nobody ever became a Nazi because they were clever. It's an ideology for dunces, based on fallacies and fabulations.

    la_sombra,

    @b9AcE Why should there be "parliamentary immunity" for that anyway?

    la_sombra,

    @b9AcE Oh. Well, I don't endorse that either.

Henk Zanoli was given Israelโ€™s Righteous Among the Nations award for his actions under Nazi occupation in Amsterdam.

    The new Speaker of the House deleted his entire website and his entire record of his podcast a day after getting the job. Wouldn't want people to have it.

    Man, too bad there aren't any archivists who knew to grab it immediately.

    la_sombra,

    @textfiles Wow. From a progressive perspective the deleted content can't be much worse that what he'll happily tell you about.

    Is there stuff he's hiding from his Republican colleagues? Is he against eating babies or something?

    la_sombra,

    @textfiles I guess that's as likely as anything. I'm no expert in this either.

    The entire Star Wars Franchise was purchased for 40 billion dollars less than Twitter. I think about that sometimes.

    @RickiTarr It probably would have been way more if it was just the three originals rather than a package deal.
