Interesting - will read more about that Quran contradiction. Thanks!
Also, to clarify, the reason you believe that Bible holds actual historical value is that, unlike legends and stories, it is more or less consistent?
This is a pure ragebait answer.
Zero actual content or explanation, and instead just a pure angry gibberish.
I see where the take you decided to attack comes from. By simply calling to "ignore" violence, we give rise to it - and before long, being hit with the bat for reversing a verbal attack and defending from bullying becomes something normal and seemingly acceptable. It is absolutely not and never should be.
But the person in question was not in a position to fix that. Having others who sympathize with you or just can't allow for violence to flourish could seriously turn the tides of the conversation and would probably never lead to violence in the first place. And instead of recognizing that, they seemingly came to a broader conclusion that one should never respond to such aggressive verbal takes in fear of physical attack - thereby completing its original goal as a silencing tool.
I cannot help but notice, though, that it was framed in a bit of a rough tone, which might not help to drive the message across.
Gotta organize against physical violence any time of the day. Exercising violence to silence the voices that do not call to violence themselves should become unthinkable.
Do not hurt people unless they were the initiators. Even if you can.
Genuine question. What convinces you that Bible is true? And among Abrahamic religions, why is this particular book true? Why do you accept "update" to Torah (that is, the Christian Bible), but not "update" to the Christian Bible (Quran)? Or do I miss the point?
I thought "thicc" is almost a compliment nowadays.
It does not equal "obese", and is more like having thick hips and/or generally being a bit more puffy and cuddly. Which is nice, and Internet appreciates it!
"Hold my mustard" made me smile :D
Seriously, what started this wave of Grammar Nazism all around Lemmy?
Stick to the content, not the form.
Iirc, he actually said that Linux kernel development should be led by distinguished programmers, and you're unlikely to become so without decades of making projects that people appreciate. At the same time, he didn't rule out someone a bit younger could take the place.
Nebula is cool and all, but at the end of the day, it's still a commercial platform, and those do tend to enshittify and depend a lot on externalities.
As creators grow more dependent on Nebula, Sam and the team of original Nebula creators can wield more power and change the rules.
They already dictate the kind of content that is allowed - for example, Second Thought, one of the original creators behind Nebula, was asked to leave as he doesn't agree to change public stance on Israeli-Palestinian conflict (he is pro-Palestine). This has suddenly left him without a source of revenue necessary for the production to expand, and has put him into debt.
Solution? Probably independent sponsorships that would go both on YouTube and PeerTube videos. Or a creator reward system like in Lbry/Odysee. Something that would allow to reward creators without going full commercial.
So, what's the middle ground in your opinion?
So ain't that the reason to doubt that Caesar was born in Subaru and seek more evidence, as opposed to believe the New Testament? Also, given the supernatural claims about Jesus, shouldn't it be supplied with extraordinary evidence?
We know for sure that Caesar did exist and was the Roman dictator, for example. We also have contemporary sources on his life - accounts of Cicero, for example, or Sallust.
Can we say for sure that Jesus did exist, and, especially important, has actually created any miracles?
And also, what about evidence for the existence of Buddha, for example? Did he never exist or he never attained nirvana, or he falsely believed he switched to some supernatural state while this was all mental? Or did it all exist in parralel?
