You think the GOP looks after people’s needs?! The gop is the party of “f**k you, I’ve got mine”.
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 11 hours ago:
You turn away from Jesus when you ignore the needs of others.
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 11 hours ago:
I think we agree on that.

So you walk on by on the other side of the road.
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 1 day ago:
You consistently “both sides” politics and choose to see no difference between the party of hate and the party of compromise. There’s only one reason to equate the evil party with the unhelpful party.
Jesus didn’t say “justify your moral errors whilst choosing the path that reduces your tax burden” and he certainly didn’t say “it’s ok to vote for the ones that stand for almost everything I preached against, I certainly didn’t mean that the whole country should act lovingly, and your tax reducing charitable donation and your ‘charity begins at home’ excuses you from moral culpabilty if you vote for more cruelty and selfishness to wash over the whole country”
Did you think Jesus can’t see what you’re doing on the voting machine? Did you think he doesn’t know why? Do you really think he doesn’t care about the poor people that have their benefits cut so that the rich can have a tax cut?
“Weep and wail, ye rich men. You have not paid the wages of those who reap. In their anguish they have cried out to the Lord, and he has heard them.”
But no, sure, God has no opinion on kings and leaders and doesn’t care if they are the enemy of truth and justice. That’s the message of whatever Bible you’re not reading, I’m sure. /s

Denying Jesus’ insistence that you should look after the poor, the widows and foreigners is aok by you, though, for some reason. “If you love me, follow my commands.” “When did we see you hungry and not feed you?” “It is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.”
You’ve corrupted a message of “no, pay your taxes and your synagogue” and “love your neighbour (meaning anyone who is in need, including foreigners, and put your money where your mouth is)” into “it’s fine to advocate for and vote for tax cuts for the wealthiest and aid cuts for those on greatest need, and incarcerating people for being foreign”.
There is no get out clause for selfishness and hatred via the ballot box as you’re claiming.
If I thought for a moment that you meant something other than that you find yourself excuses for supporting the Liar in Chief and the grand old party of selfishness, hatred and racism, I wouldn’t be calling you out on it, but you’re not just lying about Jesus’ message, you’re lying about your political neutrality which is non-existent and attempting to draw others into your duplicity and self deception.

Ah, you’re one of those “Both sides” people. Gotcha.
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 3 days ago:
It sounds like you’re using “pay your taxes” to argue that it’s ok by Jesus if you vote for the Republican party, which I think is messed up because he said so much about caring for others.
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 3 days ago:
I’m confident that he would disagree with the Republican party!

If the biometric ID is collected and stored by someone else, not only have I lost my anonymity, I’ve also lost control of my identity and there’s no way for me to stop that happening.
- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 5 days ago:
Exactly!
- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 6 days ago:
Biounique id is an advertiser’s wet dream and I don’t think it’s theoretically possible to prevent it from being exploited for profiling by Google. If the hashed encrypted token retains the uniqueness then it points to you as an individual across time, devices and location changes. There is no escaping this ID.
Google and other multinational corporations WILL know where you live and can figure out all your personal characteristics with a little time. Your anonymity is gone forever.
- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 6 days ago:
Scan your biounique eyeball to provide ID wrist retaining your anonymity???
Anonymity and the ability for someone else to prove it was me are nearly opposites.

I was pointing out that reposts aren’t reposts for everyone and some new people enjoy old posts fresh.

I think the dare thing is consistent with the mismatched shoes.

Definitely a dare. Probably also drunk, yes.

If the caveat wasn’t intended, the word ‘due’ would be superfluous.

Well played.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don’t care about other people and you choose to put people who also don’t care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don’t care about you or your friends or your family.
Conservatives don’t understand that “them” and “us” are actually all just us.
- Comment on "A watched pot never boils" is actually advice for keeping your pot from boiling. Because a soup boiled is a soup spoiled. 1 month ago:
Depends on the soup. Tinned soup from some manufacturer, maybe. My mum’s chicken soup? Boil that thing gently for hours and your tongue will love you for a week.
