Nice, found some additional details/context: North Korea says Travis King wants refuge from mistreatment, racism in US

But the situation isn't hopeless. Scientists believe if we work now to slow down climate change and prevent mountain degradation, we can still stop the worst outcomes from happening and help protect the planet's mountains and the communities that live near them.

I hate it so much when articles end like this. 1) It's something the journalist wants to believe, scientist would not start a sentence with "but I belive...." 2) yea but we don't do anything like that, what we do is not enough and not fast enough, so no: the situation IS hopeless 😖

Ah thanks a lot. Yea nothing for me then either. But if it could replace android pin/pattern then it might be something interesting.

Did you already install it? (I didnt)

No idea what the colors are for, but I think you can also use random symbols, not just numbers? And even if it's just numbers that don't change, it will not be the numbers of your actual pin.

And yes, you'd need to remember the patterns. I myself to thst anyway with all my pins.

Somettimes there are card payment terminals with the numbers in a randomized order; I always need to take my phone out to look at a normal numpad so I can remember my actual pin. 😅

Ok, ill give you the benefit of the doubt and explain it to you as best as I can: Being a personification of White Nationalism is not punk and is not ripping a massive middle finger at authority, it simply is being a Nazi. And as such, he deserves no admiration and no discussion. The only thing he deserves is a massive ripping of his middle frontal gyrus.

Edited and joke removed. After reading that buzz feed article I realized that this is not the time for humor.

OP, you're admiring a hateful, racist, disgusting excuse of a human being.

Admiring and bringing up excuses for a nazi makes you a nazi. Period.

Lumpenproletariat! (but it's ok, cuz I belong to them too)

yea, but this is what will bring failure over the whole idea of "fediverse". so just enjoy while it lasts and stop building cultlike echo chambers.

What you're talking about ... takeover by hysterical and authoritarian libs.

And btw, I'm not talking about a "critical mass takeover" it's from the admin; sort the comments by top to see the disagreement.

Oh, I hope it is! But even if it is, I think there are much better ways to approach that. But yea, what happened to lemmy.world, is indeed super unfortunate.

You're confusing me a bit too tbh.

seeing this sort of thing

What sort of thing?

since the federation

I checked hexbear before the federation and found it to be mostly an awfully friendly and kinda cool place, so I was excited. But now I see so many paranoid hexbear users talking about "the federation" as if it were some kind of historical event with great significance; almost like how Palestinians talk about the Nakba. Why is that?

Showing that China is doing similar things to the US doesn’t seem like a strong argument if the thing the US is doing (in this case indefinite detention without trial in a horrible prison) is bad.

I don't really understand what you mean. Even the best liberal super-democracy (let's say Switzerland) will detain you if they suspect that you have given out state secrets to foreign countries. Literally every country will. That was kinda the point of my comment.

Secondly, I was not trying to show anything; I was just wondering what those people were missing during their (not indefinite) imprisonment. They're all free now, including the ones with data missing. And I didn't research the reasons for their imprisonment, use a search engine if you want to know more.

Is the idea that post-federation there’s users who don’t view the US as doing bad things?

You know that there have always been and that there always will be users with that view, so why even ask that question; and why ask it with "post-federation"? it honestly gives the impression you're in a cult, no offense.

Fuck, china is so brutal to just arrest people simply on the suspicion of illegally providing state secrets to foreign countries! What kind of country does that? 915 days now!

... and the missing sunshine part really makes me wonder what those Uyghurs were missing during their time of imprisonment...

How is it then? Actually good? What's the message?

Edit: no spoilers pls. But is it like a Lego movie situation, where you expect something awful and then its literally a masterpiece?

Phhss, Amateurs! Real men are not afraid of homosexuality; they ban the movie for the scary dots in the water! 😤

Honestly now in not sure why they even included anything else beside the book of Revelation 😅

tldr: if you see something like that, immediately convert to Christianity and have your sins forgiven 🤣

Ugh, so instead of doing what I should be doing (working😭), this fucking post made me have GPT explain the plot of the Bible to me, and ...

WHAT THE FUCK??? 😳

It all starts with "The Seven Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls" but I leave this out cuz I didn't really understand it and, while dramatic, it seemed unnecessary. For dramatic effect, I also left out and/or rearranged some parts, but basically, here's what's going to happen according to the Bible (according to GPT):

The rise of the Antichrist

Emergence from the Seas: A formidable beast rises from the sea. It possesses seven heads, ten horns, and upon its horns are ten crowns. Each head is marked with a blasphemous name. This creature's appearance melds the features of a leopard, bear, and lion. From the shadows, a dragon bestows upon the beast its power, throne, and immense authority.

Miraculous Recovery: One of the beast's heads, once thought to be mortally wounded, recovers in a way that astounds the world. This miraculous healing draws many to pledge allegiance and worship both the dragon, for granting its authority, and the beast. A collective gasp spreads, with people uttering, "Who can compare to the beast? Who can stand against it?"

Blasphemous Proclamations: For forty-two months, the beast vocalizes proud and blasphemous words against the divine. Its audacious remarks target God, His name, His abode, and all celestial beings.

Dominance and Conflict: The beast's reign extends over every tribe, people, language, and nation. It initiates a fierce conflict against the holy, overpowering them. All on earth, save for those inscribed in the Lamb's book of life since the world's inception, fall to their knees in worship of the beast.

The Second Beast, the False Prophet: Another entity emerges from the earth's terrain. Its external demeanor mirrors that of a gentle lamb, bearing two horns, yet its voice rings with the authority and tone of the dragon. This being acts in harmony with the desires of the first beast. It orchestrates ceremonies, convincing the masses to elevate and worship the image of the dominant beast. This image isn't just a mere statue; it's alive, it speaks, and it delivers a stern decree: all who resist its veneration will face mortal consequences.

The Mark of Allegiance: In an audacious move to consolidate control, the second beast introduces a mandate: everyone, regardless of their social or economic standing, must bear a distinct mark on their right hand or forehead. Without this mark, the simple facets of life—buying food, trading goods, earning a wage—become impossible. This isn't just any mark; it carries the numerical essence of the beast: 666.

The Second Coming of Christ

Celestial Appearance: The sky cracks open, revealing a brilliant figure astride a white horse, the universal symbol of victory. This isn't just any rider; His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many crowns. His name is "The Word of God," and He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood.

Heavenly Armies: Following Him, the heavens release an army, each member clothed in fine, white, pure linen, also riding white horses. They carry no weapons; their presence alone embodies the might of righteousness and divine justice.

Decisive Confrontation: The beast, the global leader who once commanded the world's attention, together with the kings of the earth and their armies, gathers to make a stand. But they aren't just up against a man. They face the one called "Faithful and True," whose words cut sharper than any double-edged sword. In a climax of cosmic proportions, the beast and the false prophet are thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. With no trial. Their reign of deception is terminated.

The Millennial Reign: Christ, the Redeemer, establishes His throne on earth, marking the beginning of a thousand years of unparalleled peace and righteousness. The scars of past conflicts fade, replaced by the harmonious cadence of unity. Those who bore the brunt of persecution, who laid down their lives for their faith, rise again. They are honored with the privilege of reigning alongside Christ. Gone are the days of deceit, oppression, and corruption. Governance is marked by fairness, with justice flowing like a mighty river. The air is devoid of the cries of the oppressed; instead, songs of joy and gratitude reverberate from every corner. Nature exhales, landscapes rejuvenate, as deserts burst into bloom and barren lands yield bountiful harvests. The animal kingdom, once marked by predation and fear, now showcases a serene coexistence. The lion grazes alongside the lamb, while children play near once-dangerous creatures without a hint of trepidation.

Final Revolt and Defeat of Satan: After the thousand years, Satan is released and deceives the nations one last time, gathering them for battle. They surround the camp of God's people, but fire comes down from heaven and devours them. Satan is then thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet.

The Final Judgment

Resurrection of the Ages: As the millennial peace concludes, a monumental event unfolds: a resurrection unlike any before. Multitudes rise, representing every generation that has ever walked the earth. Both the righteous and the wicked, everyone awaits their final fate.

The Grand Courtroom: Above all stands the Great White Throne, so resplendent and fearsome that the very earth and skies flee from its presence. Seated upon it is the Divine Judge, whose gaze penetrates the depths of every soul. Books are opened, containing records meticulous and unerring—every deed, every word, every thought ever conceived.

The Decisive Criterion: Among these records, a paramount book is presented: the Book of Life. It contains the names of those who lived in alignment with the Divine, those who embraced love, truth, and righteousness. To be inscribed in this tome is to be recognized as a child of the cosmos, worthy of eternal communion. Those whose names echo from the pages of the Book of Life are ushered into an eternity of joy, peace, and love—an existence where sorrow, pain, and death are archaic concepts, never to be revisited.

But those absent from this Book are cast into the lake of fire. They are joined by all those who chose the path of darkness, defiance, and denial. The lake burns with sulfur, a final destination where deceit and wickedness are forever confined.

The New Heaven and New Earth

A Cosmic Renewal: The very fabric of reality shudders and transforms. The old heavens and earth, bearing centuries of scars and memories, fade away, making way for a pristine heaven and earth, untarnished and perfect.

The Heavenly City Descends: From the shimmering skies, a city of unparalleled splendor descends, its brilliance rivaling the most radiant of jewels. The New Jerusalem, vast and glorious, serves as the nexus between the Divine and humanity, its gates ever open, welcoming all who approach. At the city's heart flows the crystal-clear River of Life, its waters pure and invigorating. Flanking its banks stands the Tree of Life, its branches heavy with fruit and leaves possessing the power to heal nations.

The Divine Dwelling: The greatest marvel of this renewed existence is the palpable presence of the Divine. God Himself chooses to reside among His people. The chasm, which once separated the Creator from His creation, is bridged forever. Night, with its accompanying darkness, is a relic of the past. The radiant glory of God illuminates every corner, rendering sun and moon redundant. The inhabitants live in perpetual day, basking in the warmth and light of the Divine.

The New Heaven and New Earth herald the ultimate realization of God's grand design — a universe where love, harmony, and beauty reign supreme, and where the promise of "Behold, I make all things new" finds its resounding fulfillment.

I thought the end of the plot was the rapture for the good and apocalypse for the rest of humanity. So unless we somehow missed the rapture (oh shit that might actually be the case 🤔) the Bible didn't spoil anything.

But anyway, I think Christians don't want people to read the Bible, they want people to become Christians. And to do that they should act more like JESUS CHRIST! Like going into rich peoples homes, throwing around tables and fuck shit up!!!!!

Uh, pointing out comments and shaming them would now be kinda ironic, so I'd rather not elaborate.

It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content.

Oh, maybe the newest video of one of my most favorite youtubers can even answer you why that is! Introducing Tom Nicholas: Griftonomics: Why Scams are Everywhere Now
