Where do you live?

I always considered the problem not to be any one part of the message or other, but the process. It is a bad idea to make a perfect, inalterable text of any kind into law, no matter how good it is. The legal process does need guidance from higher principles, but the best way to do that is with a constitution, which can also be altered if necessary.

That is why I'm glad Jesus is kept the hell out of my government. Because yeah, he actually does try to teach a lot of commendable principles. But Jesus also says that all of the old Jewish laws of the old testament still hold. There is some fully crazy shit in the old testament.

Meanwhile, Jesus does all kinds of stuff in violation of those same laws. Is it no surprise, then, that, following Jesus's example, Christians follow the bible just as selectively?

Oh, that thing. Thanks. I don't know why ddg didn't find it. It's usually pretty good. Wikipedia did find it right away. Maybe next time, I'll just skip ddg and go right to Wikipedia. Seriously, web search is becoming increasingly useless, now that powerful AI is being used to fuck with their ranking algorithms.

And how did they help?

Can private citizens attack Russia without triggering an all-out NATO-Russia war?

What western country helped HTS defeat Assad?

sigh Fucking Russia ruining everything.

—Democracy doesn't work!

—Yes it does.

breaks the democracy

—See? Democracy doesn't work.

Really, those two empires can't fail soon enough.

Who is funding HTS?

Oh yeah absolutely. I think it's just hard for people to remember, but dictatorships used to transition to democracies all the time.

I do wonder, though, if it has happened to a country with so many foreign actors involved.

I did a cursory web search for DAANES and came up with nothing. What do you mean by it?

I for one am glad Jesus is kept the fuck out of my government.

—Our authorities are obliged to give notice to home-country consulates when a foreign citizen is detained.

—Excuse us for not trusting you.

Well, yeah, things are different in Germany than in the States. For one thing, there's proportional representation.

But, and I know this is unlikely, this time could be different. Trump actually got the popular vote. Not by much, but he did get it. It is physically possible for it to happen in Germany, and Europe is not ready for it.

Basically, people would be voting for Musk lol. I mean haven't you heard that he is the genius who designed all of spaceX's rockets and all of tesla's cars and factories? Who wouldn't want somebody like that running their government? (with tremendous amounts of sarcasm)

I mean I like to think that Europeans are less gullible than Americans. IDK, are they less gullible than Americans? 'Cause if not, then yeah, it could happen. Barely.

Man, I don't care how female, lesbian, or interracial anybody at the AfD is. They're a bunch of Putin dick riders. Their private lives don't enter into it.

(Incidentally, people like Musk and Trump love to question the credentials of politicians sharing the exact same attributes that this time around Musk has decided to praise. So, Musk, are they incompetent diversity hires, or are they "proof" that the party isn't racist? They can't be both!)

Noice. Thanks!

Well, thanks, fwiw. Now, the only way for me to check the quotations first hand is to give money to the idiots who printed it lol. Ausgezeichnet. I checked the Internet Archive. They just show the same opening paragraph.

I'm having trouble finding the original op-ed. Could somebody provide a link?

Yeah, it's true. Maybe this time, the root cause, the KGB, will finally be eradicated.

Also, though, the empire did shrink quite a lot last time, so hey, it's a step in the right direction lol

Russia says, "Bop shewop shewop, lama lama ding dong," or words to that effect.

Extracting its latent energy value in a cost-effective manner remains a challenge, and will require considerable R&D investment.

The physics are sound. It's the economics that are apparently still a problem.
