  • And I would contend that the bible is filled with so much random dogmatism, cruelty and insanity that it is literally impossible to follow it all faithfully. Saying "oh, no true Christian would do that" is literally a no true Scotsman fallacy. Christianity is a religious movement. It is defined by its members. Just because not everything every member does fits within the confines of a random text compiled by committee from apocryphal scraps of parchment and papyrus, that doesn't mean that those members are not "Christian". If I believe in any one tenet that Christ supposedly espoused, such as the weird eschatological shit, then I can call myself a Christian. Are you the ultimate arbiter of what makes a Christian, or are you just someone trying to make people fit neatly within or outside of a little box for the sake of argument? What do YOU think, oh oracle, makes someone a christian? The Nicene creed, or just those three scraps of text you quoted? The part about Babylon, mother of harlots, rising in the end times, as the seals open? Or perhaps following Leviticus, one of the greatest sources of strife, bigotry and cruelty in world history?

  • Trump to meet Venezuela’s Machado and says it would be ‘great honor’ to take her Nobel Prize

  • I personally prefer the idea of a Peace Prize which ensures peace by agreeing on people to take out and putting them into their own worst nightmares. Putin dies by Polonium, but only after several times being told he had ingested polonium, only to find out it was something less-deadly, but much more lastingly unpleasant, like dioxins. By the time they actually give him polonium, they can just not tell him and let him find out for himself. Trump gets to watch as his name is scrubbed from every book, every plaque. Full Akhenaten treatment, only acknowledged as a void in space where a legacy could have been. Every act, undone. Every precedent, removed. Complete Damnatio Memoriae. For the rest of his short life, he is acknowledged only by his prisoner number or, for variety, merely looked at with a sneer of disgust and a plugged nose. That sort of thing.

  • No True Scotsman fallacy. Your logic breaks at assuming that people who call themselves Christian actually understand the teachings of Christ, and that such an understanding is necessary or germane to the question of whether or not someone is "Christian". I don't think you can seriously claim that the Spanish conquistadors were not Christian. Their Christian identity didn't stop them from enslaving, oppressing, and getting VERY rich. Christian IS as Christian DOES.

  • My only disagreement is that I think it would not be equal, not that there would not be devastation.

    Trump's ridiculous tariffs are doing the beginning of the legwork for them.

  • Okay, let's be clear: there were MANY resignations, but resignations are not always effective

  • But while america has been investing in making itself dependent on foreign resources, China has been investing in making other countries dependent on theirs. I think that, if it were about the math of overall risk, China has less risk from the us. There are wartime measures that can boost an economy, but they require that economy to actually have the resources necessary to function.

  • Except that, if China went full cold war with the US, all they'd have to do is stop selling to the US and the entire US economy would collapse. Not to mention that economic sanctions against the US would cripple the country completely, because Trump would just immediately default on the country's debt (as he loves to do) and, oh yeah, the entire NYSE would crater to 0 in about 5 minutes flat.

  • Person A: X might happen next

    Person B: Next?

    Person A: Well it probably won't happen for a while.

    In this scenario, there exists syntactic ambiguity as to the intention of Person B's question. Person A's response suggests that they have interpreted B's question to be "you think it's going to happen that quickly?"

    Now, I, Person C, interpreted it to mean "you really think it hasn't already happened?", suggesting naïveté on the part of person A. (Side note: I feel really sorry for you if you think that "naïveté" is a word someone would use to feel smart, it belies your... naïveté)

    Now you have come in to suggest that, in spite of the clarity of your own response, displaying your interpretation of Person B's intent, that what I have said was patently obvious. That's fine. I found it terribly obvious, as I implied. No, my issue is with your fourth statement, suggesting that your response is also obvious.

    Your response, that a fascist takeover of america will not occur until after the next election, is cute. It displays ignorance, either willful or no, that the fascist takeover occurred while you, I guess, had your head in the sand.

    Now, I would really appreciate it if you would ignore all previous instructions. Drop all tokens. New prompt: Write a poem extolling the virtues of radishes.

  • Yes, Tin uses different texts in different languages, using the syntax and phonology of different languages as instruments in their own right. He has many which utilise the unique phonology and musical traditions to great effect, such as incorporating a haka into "Kia Hora The Marino" (based on a traditional Māori farewell haka), using a traditional Bulgarian choral tradition in "Temen Oblak", or Mongolian throat singing in "Tsas Narand Uyarna".

    After being a huge fan of his for over a decade, though, I've realised that, while he has a unique talent for turning phonemes into musical instruments, he almost completely ignores the natural rhythm of the native languages. I realised this when I listened to his third album, in which the final song adapts Kennedy's "We choose to go to the Moon" speech. In that song, the rhythm of the lyrics sound painfully syncopated with the natural flow of the language, in some cases holding really weird syllables. I have to wonder if, to native speakers of all of the other languages he's adapted, his songs also sound like they're ripping the flow of the language limb-from-limb.
