Apparently reading so many bad takes over the last few years has destroyed my ability to detect sarcasm. Sorry about that.

If you mean added to the bible after the council of Nicea decided on the contents of the bible, no. The bible, both old testament and new, is very explicitly pro-slavery.

Ephesians 6:5

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

Totally unrelated historical fact: Hitler’s attempted coup failed, and he was appointed as chancellor later on in a completely legal manner.

Thinking about it, there’s a lot in common between the skillsets needed to be competent presidents and lawyers. Both need to be convincing, make a case to an audience, and understand the law.

About the only things I can think of that presidents need to do that has nothing to do with being a lawyer are being the head of the military and making decisions around military operations.

I wish we’d have that level of openness here in Romania. There’s plenty of Romanians who think of the Holocaust as a specifically German thing and are wilfully ignorant about our complicity.

Proving that you can and do follow through on existing policy is still a good thing to do.

Cyberpunk was supposed to be fiction, not a blueprint :(

By American standards, I don’t think that’s true. If I’m wrong about that, that would be amazingly good news!

FYI, I’m not Ukrainian. I’m Romanian. We have more skin in the game than Germany or France though. If Ukraine falls, Moldova falls 24 hours later, and allowing our brother country to go back under Russian domination is pretty unthinkable.

Even without that existential issue, allowing democratically minded Europeans trying to walk the same path we walked 25 years ago get invaded by Russia without as much help as we can give them seems horrific to me.

This period of war in Eastern Europe is pretty shit and I would like Western Europe to take it more seriously, thx

On a more optimistic note, a true heir to Bernie will know how to negotiate with the center left to accomplish some of their goals in exchange for the support of progressives to win elections.

Presumably Valve’s lawyers can make this case, so I guess we’ll see if the judge is receptive to it.

Works for floors!

I don’t have a problem with medication/supplements. I personally don’t have a problem with popping a pill once in a while instead of a factory farmed animal taking an injection on my behalf once in a while.

They do in Romania at least. B12 is fat soluble, which makes life much easier.

B12 is actually something that I think about. Not very hard, it’s a once a month pill, but definitely more than protein.

But how else will we inflict PTSD and permanent physical injury en masse to poor people without options?

Blink-blink-blink. Blink. Blink. Blink. Blink-blink-blink.

No, I don’t have something in my eyes, I swear I’m fine looks nervously at boss.
