@C_A_P_117 @jasonc_nc The 'mom-and-pop' stores you're describing don't exist. The best you'll get is a farm-stand or gas station with produce, which the DG actually complements instead of replaces. Sometimes it's nice not to drive an hour for AA batteries and cough drops.

@jasonc_nc Literally no one who lives near one says this, especially anyone who knows any mom and pop shops in town. They are parasites. They employ 3 people to sell us mass produced junk for 25% more than any other store, and run out of business mom and pops that employ dozens of people.

@AiPinfu2003 I think the idea of beans being sweet seems odd to many Americans, perhaps like peanut butter being salty to Japanese

@sofiartworks @_namori_fan_ @PedrinhHsa @AnxietatemPlena Based on what you shared here, you're either a woman in a same-sex relationship or (possibly also) a transvestite. I'm not Catholic, and won't speak authoritatively here, but I don't think the RC Church condones those things and I imagine it hopes you will go and sin no more.

@MentzerOcean @HMBohemond He gave us a command to steward his creation and spread across it. Exploring his creation is one of our explicitly created purposes.

@HMBohemond I wouldn’t say God is “against it”, so much as He sees it as unnecessary for us. After all, exploring space doesn’t spread the gospel. Nor does us “conquering the stars” glorify Him.

@RigTyrsson @Erik_Haile @haprho I think film will stick around for artistic purposes, but stuff like tape is barely holding on. Magnetic coatings are very complicated and sometimes trade secrets. And there are some new tape players, but there only seems to be one Chinese mechanism still produced, and it's crap.

In fact, camera film and cassettes are on the shelf at Walgreens. The other things on Amazon are brand new. I checked, thinking that it would be NOS. But it's still in production, just at low volume apparently due to shrinking demand. The only thing I didn't find new were CRT televisions. There are many of those used on E-Bay and Etsy though, so you're right on that one.

Aww, poor flerfs — flerfs say we lost the technology to go the moon. We've also lost the technology to: 🔹️Build cathode-ray tube (CRT) televisions and computer monitors. 🔹️VHS VCRs 🔹️Kodachrome slide film 🔹️Floppy disks 🔹️cassette tapes 🔹️high volumn vacuum tubes (also called electron tubes or radio tubes) 🔹️high volume incandescent light bulbs

@daisy6401496693 @RShmuleyGroyper @Tomoejp1236 As far as I understand, God is my ancestor and my Lord. He created me and adopted me so that I can live forever. My ultimate loyalty is to him and that is the honor that I am due to give him.

@RShmuleyGroyper @Tomoejp1236 あなたの話を聞いた感想。 私は私の先祖を捨ててまでキリスト教徒になる気にはなれないかな。ごめんね🙏 もしあなたの先祖でキリスト教徒でないという理由だけで地獄に落ちるというならそれは大丈夫。 きっと日本で平和に暮らしてるよ。

@6c697374 @chick3T @Tomoejp1236 If you became friends with a fervent person you might. It's normally rude to talk like this unprompted, but if it comes up in a discussion then you might be surprised.

A brewing, underappreciated axis of the "culture wars" is people who were expecting "the long 90s/00s" versus people who want the sci-fi future, and it doesn't map cleanly to left versus right

@osoba_ha_zaru @that_one_mook Nope, no way out. People argue about what it will be like to miss the people who didn't make it. People also argue about what it would be like to go there. The Bible doesn't describe hell very much other than saying it's very unpleasant and that you can never leave.

@TheFarRightSide The New World was full of Indians who raped and murdered alongside a million deadly plants and animals. God told us to go forth and multiply first, and then gave us the Great Commission later. He obviously put these things in front of us for us to explore, even if it's hard.

@osoba_ha_zaru @that_one_mook We think that once you go to hell, there's no way to get out, and that you'll experience it for eternity. It's scary to think about going yourself, but at the same time we're told to love our neighbors too. It's scary to imagine them being stuck there!

@veritechpilot @that_one_mook ありがとうございます! 聖書の中には契約方法が緻密には書かれていないんですね、、、 でもなんでそんなにキリスト教圏の人たちは地獄を恐れるんだろ? 地獄の責苦があったとして、それをもとに悔い改めて、そこから神を信じても救われるチャンスが与えられないって考えるのかな?

@osoba_ha_zaru @that_one_mook There are issues we get less bothered about, like how the Church should be organized and how priests or pastors should be dressed, or what days holidays should be on. We still think those are important but probably not sending people to hell. People still like to yell and argue.

@osoba_ha_zaru @that_one_mook It isn't rude. We each have different views of the details of the contract. Some think you have to do certain rituals, some think you only have to believe in God, some a mixture and so on. That's when we can get quite angry, because we think getting it wrong means you go to hell.

@esrtweet @MUKIDEZA2 I actually have a framed family crest (or coat of arms?) from my grandmother's family sitting in a box somewhere. She might have had one made for my grandfather too. It used to be a thing, I guess.

@osoba_ha_zaru @that_one_mook Part of our religion is proselytizing, so we're in a competition with each other. I think most of us try to keep it as a friendly rivalry but sometimes the differences are quite hard to ignore. (historically, during the reformation, we killed each other over it.)

@wrowclif The other day my printer inexplicably stopped printing. Devices still remembered it, printer turned on fine, very confused. Scanning the devices on the network & not seeing it, I found out one of the ports on my router died. Just one, rest were fine. Never had that happen before.

One really helpful thing about our printer is that it lists itself twice in the print menu, but only one of them actually works, and good luck remembering which.

I would like to gauge public interest in a small print tech journal, written by me and perhaps a few contributors, focusing on fighting software bloat and AI slop, mailed to you monthly for $10 or $15. How many of you would subscribe? (pictured: my desktop publishing setup)
