  • Donald Trump accuses Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin of 'conspiring against the US' during Chinese military parade

  • Just listened to the Empire podcast about Catherine the great. Turns out the twat she was married to was the kinda idiot that managed to get everyone against him, so when the two came to blows everyone he tried to recruit was already sworn to her. Didn't go well for him. Then Catherine's son was exactly the same as his father and when she died, his own children joined in on the coup against him. The point being, if you piss off everyone by being an absolute ass, then their dislike of you will force them to join forces against you.

  • Applies to many things. Not just religion

    Jump

  • Yeah, the catholic church encouraged the study of the heliocentric idea, right about until Galileo used his scientific papers to directly criticize and mock the pope.

  • Am I the only person who likes removal of evil races?

    Jump

  • It's a matter of world building. Orcs can be noble savages, or violent monsters. The main problem is humanizing these creatures. If you instead imagine a separate evolutionary path, then the race can be inherently "evil".

    If orcs have evolved for conflict and violence far beyond human levels, then by our standards they would be evil. At least by the philosophy of a middle ages like world. Catholics and Protestants considered each other evil for a few hundred years. A violent species that destroys humans on sight due to their violent instincts would easily be evil. Exceptions could exist, but the mass of individuals would be "evil".

  • When I get these I say to myself, that's little Jimmy's fear response. It's ok little Jimmy, if that happens it would be dangerous, you're right. Then those thoughts have done their job and go on their merry way.

  • EU cave in on vehicle trade rules will cost European lives as US pick-up trucks flood into Europe

    Jump

  • It'll be especially dangerous since they're gonna have slashed tires so often.

  • You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Bob Dylan

  • Men who feel like fully functional people, how did you get there?

    Jump

  • You keep going at it. You try to make yourself a better person, bit by bit, and forgive yourself for your mistakes. You work to understand your own neurosis and patterns of emotion and find ways to work on them. I still feel dysfunctional sometimes, but it's a pattern that I've learned not to fall into fully.

  • Bennett: Israel’s status in US ‘has never been so bad,’ it’s becoming a ‘leper state’

    Jump

  • Rogue state revealed. Amazing it took so long, but I guess that's what good PR / lobby can do.

  • Sweden, an Early Climate Leader, Is Retreating From Its Environmental Commitments, Part of an EU Trend

    Jump

  • You have less than no clue what you're talking about.

  • Best creative hobbys/general hobby for a really depressed young adult?

    Jump

  • If you like dnd outdoor hiking is not a bad thing. If you have any kind of interesting landscape near you, walks in nature are great for mood and inspiration for dnd.

  • ‘It is time to stop this slaughter’ in wake of deadly Israeli strike on Gaza church: Pope Leo

    Jump

  • How many divisions does the pope have?

  • It's weird how we say "go to sleep" as if sleep is a place

    Jump

  • Tel'aran'rhiod

  • so many apocalyses to choose from and yet

    Jump

  • West Norway, it's falling hard. Serious rainfall that is.

  • Fox News hosts launch extended unhinged attack on Superman’s message of kindness towards immigrants

    Jump

  • Yeah, and if someone thinks Leviticus, which was Jewish law more than 3000 years ago is still relevant for modern society, then I have a rather long list of inconsistencies and absurdities to show, aptly summarized by Martin Sheen in the west wing series.

  • Micro-retirement

    Jump

  • Hi, Norwegian here, we have 5 weeks vacation per year, mandated by law. Oh, and the government takes 10% of your paycheck every month and pays it all out in July, so you have the money to go on vacation. Strong labor unions is the recipe.

  • Steam Summer Sale is on! Discuss deals in the comments and recommend some great games!

    Jump

  • Relevant?

  • Son of Norway’s crown princess suspected of 23 offences including rape, police say

    Jump

  • The royals are quite decent and cool. I'm in principle for getting rid of the monarchy, but this gang is so chill I'm ok with not making a fuss. Except for this shitstain. And the crown prince's sister. And her charlatan husband. In fact, only the hereditary bloodline is good. It's almost like some divine magic, or that they got all the good attention and the others have useless sibling syndrome.

  • The Bible is a complex queer text. We must reclaim it from the Christian right.

    Jump

  • Pulling things out of context let's you think and justify just about anything. The letter to Timothy is in response to particular people in a particular church at a particular time. Go research it.

    But the main point of the whole text is: the world is full of suffering, people are good and people are bad, but we should work to be better and lessen suffering. -Forgive those who trespass against you. Love even your enemies. Those who are not against us are with us. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

    The Christian right are literally the kind of judgmental people Jesus criticizes. All good forces should work together, rather than creating strawmen that can split progressives.

  • Carney: "Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon."

  • Well they're pretty determined to get one now!
