I mean chattel slavery requires rape at some point and the vast majority of the Founding Fathers were slave owners....

Not true, there are dozens of people who changed their mind, dozens!

Ehh, we don't know because where is that 20 minute conversation she had with a detective documented? Also, if the intention was to harm Trump's image or whatnot, wouldn't a media circus be where to go with the story?

But maybe if I use AI I can be wealthy. Sure it is accelerating climate change and will undoubtedly cost lives, but that is a small price to pay for me to horde money like a dragon.

I'm skeptical they could do it in a way that meaningfully inherits stability from Linux. Imagine bolting on their service control on top of systemd or map their registry system to /etc. They either bring all the bad over to Linux or write something that doesn't support the windows ecosystem.

She didn't even use the Bible as a source - did not mention a single verse. She basically using herself as the sole source because there are 0 citations.

More like Jesus became a big problem for people with power and was made to suffer for it. Bonhoeffer was not saying that we should conceal our suffering in a way that it isn't a problem for others. This was is in a larger essay about how people cope with Nazism at the time, very clear-headed but was calling out those who did little because they didn't want to suffer and how we judged harshly those who lost everything.

I prefer Bonhoeffer's take: we should judge people less by what they have or do and more by what they are made to suffer.

Lots of people on the internet are competing for who is the most contrarian.

I'm going to call a spade a spade.

In the same spirit, Americans are more interested in telling themselves they are right than recognizing what is good.

If you don't like the competition then don't participate in said competition. Other people don't agree with you that it is an arbitrary rule and that's okay.
