If someone could just figure out a way to point them at Russia, rather than picking fights with everyone else.

Oh sure, but people will do this over subjects that are irrefutable, too.

an omnipotent being can make omelettes without cracking eggs

Can you prove that?

these beings are not really as powerful as one imagines them to be!

If you’re inventing a fictitious being, it can be as powerful or not as you imagine. But if we’re posting a real thing, we’re forced to concede some logical limits.

“You’re not God because you didn’t do things the way I imagined them to be” doesn’t logically follow. No more than suggesting robots aren’t real because they don’t match what I saw once in an anime.

It ran functionally uncontested for ten years. And it would hardly have been the first underground streaming service to pivot legit and cash out.

Napster was sold for $85M back in 2002. Justin.tv rebranded as Twitch in 2011. Hell, AWS has it’s share of pirate hosted files.

One big reason you need self-sufficency within individual socialist districts. Taxation is just a tool to rebalance the scales. But at the end of the day, socialists need sovereignty - control over their natural resources and freedom from outside economic extortion.

That doesn’t preclude internationalism. But it does preclude imperialism.

would that also not imply that the other part of each religion is definitely wrong?

Absolutely. Which justifies all the inter-religious wars. They’ve got to beat out all the heresies.

why then would a set of all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful beings set in place a whole ethic that’s even partially incorrect?

Can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs.

This proves that all religions are at least partially correct, and the most popular religions are the most correct

If I wanted people to believei existed, I would simply appear on camera and give an interview

Quit while you’re ahead

Quoting Carl Sagon to explain why gravity would kick in before Coyote looked down

Why would anyone donate to them or why would he?

Virtue signaling, mostly. Saying you care but evil stupid leftists don’t, because you’re sending money to professional grifters a bunch of innocent victims.

But other than wild speculation, is there any evidence?

He did drive up to Ohio to shoot people.

those of you that don’t get it are dumb

I wish I didn’t know people who would say that shit entirely unironically.

The cloth does nothing to stop the virus but also completely cuts off oxygen to your brain.

No I will not explain. It’s your job to educate yourself by watching more Jordan Peterson videos.

Good for writing things nobody will read and reading things nobody wrote.

a huge company like Walmart that operates on wafer-thin margins

Walmart has historically run enormously wide margins, thanks to their “import shoddy crap from overseas” business strategy.

when was the last time you heard of nearly a thousand people dying at an F1 race event, or inside a movie theatre due to lack of AC?

The Qatar World Cup killed a minimum of 400-500 project workers during construction.

If that were happening multiple times per year we would shut down F1 /movie theaters in a heartbeat

I wish that were true. But we’ve got a history of being extremely callous with athletes and spectators alike.

The Saudi government has an ethical responsibility to mitigate the risks.

I couldn’t agree more. Shane they’re cheap ass fucks

The answer then is to charge the first man $1, the second $10, and the third $100.

Would the ethical answer not be $0, on the grounds that all individuals are entitled to basic living needs regardless of their personal wealth?

It’s part of the meme, tho.

I just do not understand how anyone is on the fence about DJT…

Gotta consider which fence we’re talking about. For some folks, the fact that he let his daughter marry a (((Kushner))) means he was just too Woke. For others, the fact that he got successfully convicted means he’s a big stupid loser. Some people just love an underdog and will vote for anyone who isn’t currently in office.

You have to keep in mind that “independent” doesn’t mean “in the middle of Democrats and Republicans”. In the same way people abandoned Hillary over the Comey Letter, I’m sure there’s a certain number of independents who are scared off of Trump entirely because they don’t like the idea of someone being a convicted felon.

This is also an idea behind the Dark Forest Hypothesis

I think that’s less about warp-speed weapons and more about natural resource constraints and the unpredictable nature of technological advancement causing advanced civilizations to preemptively obliterate one another.

But yes, the only practical defense against superluminal weaponry would be to avoid getting spotted.
