So, is all of attack on titan out? I can finish it?

Whoever wrote this is extremely bad at writing articles. The way the language is used is confusing, repetitive, and lacks any sort of logical flow.

We'll never forget him.

Even ones that actively celebrate rape and murder? Even ones that will oppress women?

Does this even count as a 'progressive' movement if it institutes an intensely religious dictatorship?

That's the biggest barrier to peace then. The whole article's a waste of time without that bit.

Anyone know what Hamas says? Do they say they want peace between them and Israel?

Are you looking for an inoffensive insult?

Thanks for explaining all this. It didn't really make sense to me that JP would react like that to such an innocuous tweet, but almost everyone else seemed to believe it.

It's pretty bold to say that there's no evidence for him.

For starters, the claim that he existed is rather unextraordinary. That he was the messiah might be extraordinary, but just that a dude with that name who did some of the same things isn't too remarkable. This means that we don't need a ton of strong evidence. Compounded with the fact that he was (if he existed) poor, and therefore it's not expected that he'd leave much evidence, we need hardly anything to say the man existed.

Since there seems to be a consensus by experts that he existed, and since neither of us are experts (probably, I don't actually know about you), you need to either present a reason to be skeptical of those experts or present evidence contradicting their claim.

I'm not able to filter through everything Josephus and Tacitus wrote, interpret it in the intended context, and judge it's validity. Thus I need to trust other people's findings.

If you could show that these experts are unreliable (perhaps they're religiously motivated, though I think secular historians agree), then we could start from scratch and the burden of proof would be on people claiming the man existed.

Giving each character their own consistent operator is a great touch.

Something so small would have to spin so fast that the sun would look like a strobe light. You'd have to orient it so that the inside never sees the sun, but it'll always be night.

That said, I love the idea of building halos, and can't wait for them to be commonplace.

I noticed that there were some accounts that were hijacked by the instance owners. All the posts from that user were then edited to say what happened.

This kind of surprised me, I figured instances could delete posts, but not edit them. So how much control do they have?

I assume they can't see my password (hopefully). Can they post in my name? Do they have all the access to my posts to foreign instances that they do over local posts?

Edit: thanks for all the responses everyone! I've wanted my own instance for a while, but maybe I'll get on it now

Is there going to be any push to put the fediverse logo up? Anti-Reddit stuff might be removed, but that has a better chance of sticking around.
