I think you’re just projecting your own beliefs onto him.
That’s fair; my statement was pretty strong. But I think we can agree that by comparison Biden cares more about it than his opponent, a known insurrectionist.

Yes, because he actually cares about what the Constitution stands for, not just some adversarial power game. Claim the paradox of tolerance all you want, but fighting fire with fire here is just participating in the same race to the bottom that’s destroying our democracy here in the USA.
I deeply disagree with this take. If we actually care about the Constitution and upholding what it stands for, then we have to work to undo the damage caused by this race to the bottom, not participate in it.
argues like an annoying 14 year old atheist that just discovered Internet arguments and the think whole Internet is Christian
Brilliant. I’m saving this imagery for later.
Ahh, so… crypto, which is based on crypto, can be used to pay for treatments to crypto.
Got it.
Do you mean to say that crypto is based on crypto? Crazy!
Ugh, don’t get me started. By “American Christians” I assume you mean “Christian Nationalists” … Christian Nationalism is about as Christian as the moon is made of cheese:
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ…
Yes, they are, which is why the gifting of cherry trees is such a strong symbol of friendship! Experiencing Sakura is uniquely Japanese.
The transience of the blossoms, the extreme beauty and quick death, has often been associated with mortality; for this reason, sakura are richly symbolic…
Both kinds of trees have blossoms. Granted, people do call ornamental cherry trees “cherry blossom trees” … but, technically speaking, a “blossom” is literally the flower of any stonefruit tree.
cherry trees and cherry blossoms are two different trees
Do you mean “ornamental” cherry trees and “fruiting” cherry trees? A “cherry blossom” (or “sakura”) refers to the flower of a cherry tree, usually of the “ornamental” variety. The article seemed fine to me.
Can’t be going and adopting kids all willy nilly, or else the adoption factories might ramp up production!

Turns out there’s a lot of historical context. Also, whether it was God or Satan who influenced David is somewhat ambiguous thanks to quirks in translation.
Hard disagree. This is a problem every web service has had to deal with since the beginning of the web: what happens when a host (either the machine or the person) stops working? How do you keep the service up?
Centralized services solve that problem with internally funded, transparent redundancy. Federation solves the problem with externally funded, highly-visible redundancy. They’re still the same solution, just a different way of going about it.
You could argue that user identity is lost due to the discontinuity between instances, but that’s probably something the Lemmy devs could fix without too much hassle.
You’re right: it’s probably not practical to paint a building with the stuff. Nighthawkinlight briefly comments on this. I believe the idea is to use it on passive radiator panels to sink heat from a pumped coolant fluid. That way you can strategically place panels (e.g. on the roof) and control them, just like solar heating panels.
Aye, didn’t want to accuse you of advocating for censorship. Just a friendly reminder that even the most “dangerous” texts are that way because of context, not content.
Also I was today years old when I learned about The Turner Diaries. Yikes.
I think it would depend on the books.
Isn’t that the whole argument for banning some books and not others?
The only one arguing against documented historical facts and ongoing reality in this thread is you. The PRC isn’t some magical place where people don’t do awful shit to each other. They’re just really good at covering it up.
It’s hard realizing that it’s a messy world full of people who do bad things to each other for stupid reasons. Just remember:
Roses are red.
The sky is blue.
Single-party authoritarian ethnostates leverage the absence of a free press to hide mass atrocities against ethnic minorities.
Unless you’re willing to claim we’re in a civil war, then I’m not willing to call Republicans “the enemy” … That’s that the real enemies of America want of us: to divide and conquer from within.
