Religions need to be rebooted. How many times are they in the news for abuse of power, inappropriate behavior, disputes over land and their rules, and their influence on politics and government? Too many, if you ask me.
It’s not a bad thing to regularly get people together, form community, and care for each other. They just need to get with the times, man.
Suggestions:
don’t shun "non-believers"
stop touching children
don’t kill people for inappropriately invoking your God’s name or image
focus less on afterlife and more on the present
don’t try to keep people stupid, the Internet exists and once they find out you’ll lose them forever
don’t go full zealot on cherry-picked texts while completely ignoring other ones to make arguments.
Interesting you mention one is better for children. Do you think the OS is simple enough that a child, with a little bit of training, could operate it?
I looked more into this–I went deep the other day into Retroarch configs. You can hide menu items so kids can’t start just messing with settings.
I mean, I once unmapped all my buttons and I couldn’t even get to the menu option to load my last configuration. And I’m a semi-functional adult being!

If ChatGPT gets erased and rescanned with new stuff, I can see different “flavors” popping up to replace it. For example: Conservative GPT, no content related to trans, evolution, or climate change. Vetted Wikipedia entries only.
It seemed like a cash grab from the trailer and yet you paid to see it in the movie theater, and helped it set a record, which is what this article is about.
For a good while, there was a bit of hype built around the Xbox Series S, in particular for the retro gaming scene. It was a cheaper device that offered a small form factor. Likewise, it allowed consumers to download emulators and enjoy various retro video games. But while this process was available, some consumers were...
Sure, there is a path to do that if you keep your Xbox off the internet. But then you lose multiplayer with friends, being able to download new games, etc.
every once in a while I mutter to myself “Grant Hill drinks Sprite.” Such a memorable ad series. This one in particular is my favorite. Wait, do I drink Sprite to this day because of Grant Hill?
I came across today one of my own comments on Reddit with a search on duckduckgo. It was still intact. The problem is I used shreddit to randomise and delete the entire contents of my account. My account comments and posts all show empty on my account pages on reddit so there should be nothing....
Ok alright. Even with the whole Reddit debacle and obvious attention/traffic grab…r/place seems to be working. I just spent 4 minutes staring little pixel details now present in day 2.
Probably the best collaborative creative idea to come from Reddit.
JPEG XL development began in 2018, when the JPEG committee launched a call for proposals on next-generation image compression, to which seven proposals were submitted.
