Are you kidding? One of the big attractions of Trump is to prove the shittiest white man can beat a qualified black woman.

Then if Barabbas really was pardoned, to some of his acquaintances who didn’t know the pardon, he was sent off to die, but then showed up later in the weekend.

- Comment on Quantum physics 2 months ago:
but this is just purely metaphysical.
But there really is an interference pattern. Whatever is happening is physical, not metaphysical, and is happening “through” or “because of” both slits at the same time.
Unless you’re trying to argue that the statistical behavior of electrons is somehow decoupled from the behavior or each individual electron, which would seem to me to be a very odd metaphysical position.

Lutris can also launch GOG games in proton
- Comment on Quantum physics 2 months ago:
You’re wrong, it’s definitely going through both slits at the same time, but it’s not an electron at that time.

It’s probably great, but UPS lost it. 1/5. Would be 0/5 if I could give 0.

Same reason my darling’s tik tok feed suddenly featured humanizing Trump videos the moment he reversed direction on the Tik Tok ban, even though she hates both Trump and politics and would never willingly look at a video of either.

They’re both conniving, self-serving authoritarian dummies. It’s true that Gaddafi had some virtues and Donny doesn’t seem to have any.

He’s more of a Gaddafi, but you won’t like that much either.
Countries that go for these types of guys never end up doing well, but the fans never seem to notice.
- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 4 months ago:
That’s way too low since several of the names match.

You can make the simple inductive calculation that the probability is 1 / (total number of nights moon didn’t fall out of sky).
You can also look at the total energy needed to de-orbit the moon and come up with a frequencie for events at least of that magnitude.
They are easy calculations and they both give infinitesimal results. If that weren’t true, there’d be no way to tell if your intuition were correct.
- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 4 months ago:
If you can’t calculate the probability, then you can’t rationally reach the conclusion that the probability is very low.
- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 4 months ago:
The respectable probability estimates range from astronomically unlikely to merely unlikely. In other words, we don’t have incontrovertible ways of calculating the probability.
While it’s not great or convincing evidence, it’s the only physical evidence I know about.

I’d have guess people who thought the tomb was for the Jesus would have their faith shaken by it since it would mean Jesus was married and had a kid, though there are some obscure Christian sects that have believed that.

That kind of person is revealing an innate sense of right and wrong that’s independent of their teachings. You should fear the Christian who’s envious of your disbelief in hell.
