@FalcoDlamini1 @sfliberty Ethiopia was never colonized.

@sfliberty My understanding was that Ethiopia has very fertile land alongside the great rift valley. Owners of the land were forcibly removed in the late 70s to non fertile land so that Belgium and other European countries could have large scale farming. How far from the truth is this?

In July 1985, over a billion people watched Live Aid. Months earlier, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie had written "We Are the World." All of it was a response to a famine in Ethiopia. Almost nobody remembers who actually caused the famine. 🧵

@BonaldTrosby @philthatremains Musk doesn't have a Trillion dollars. He has stocks and assets currently valued over a trillion dollars. No, it's not the same things. You know nothing.

@philthatremains That’s never actually happened to you and musk actually has a trillion dollars so what you’re shining a light on is that you live inside a delusion and will write off anything so long as it doesn’t fit a narrative inside your own delusional worldview

i’m not stuck in line behind Elon Musk at walmart listening to him lose his mind cause he can’t put Zyns on an EBT card.

@LatinoHeatRauw @CoachGilly6 Pats flopped just a couple times in 10 years. Josh Allen has a whole highlight reel of them.

@CoachGilly6 Oh man don't watch any of Patrick who flops in the NFL

This is it, this is why I can’t watch.

@campoasts @CoachGilly6 We make fun of the people who flop in our sports, not give excuses or deflect like you do in your sport.

@CoachGilly6 This is it, this is why I can't watch

@theantizionist_ @FightWithMemes You are not in the 12% then. So not disinformation.

@FightWithMemes Been an anal bottom since 21, and if you take care of yourself and select your partners with care, even if you get fucked daily up the ass, your "bowel movements" will still be normal. This is disinformation.

I think she might've blown his mind. 😂

@Elvish_Harper Because the writers did not think of it until this movie.

This is really, really, really simple, and doesn't require one to know a single thing about Star Wars or "the lore" or "the books" or any such thing. You just have to ask one simple question: if this obvious weapon is this insanely powerful, why was it never used before or again?

@MikeWingerii You are petty.

What do you suggest for a simple replacement for the YouVersion Bible app on IPhone? One that doesn’t host fraudulent translations.

@JKinNH2012 @MikeWingerii You know nothing.

@MikeWingerii Mike, Youversion is ran by pastors and creators from an emergent church mindset. Their worldview is closer to progressive than sola scriptura.

Bye bye YouVersion. People generally expect you to only host decent and safe Bible translations. At least that’s what I expect. I’d recommend using caution if you still use the YouVersion Bible app.

@1951proofer @VigilantFox Quoting from the Bible is easy.

@VigilantFox Gotcha question. Like asking a Christian to quote from the Bible. Just because you believe in something doesn't mean you know it chapter and verse, nor should you.

Piers Morgan asks his gay guest to spell out the full LGBTQ acronym. He has no idea — and that’s when Piers Morgan completely loses it. GUEST: “It’s LGBTQ+.” MORGAN: “No, it’s LGBTQIA2SL+.” GUEST: “Right, sure.” MORGAN: “What does any of that mean?” GUEST: “Are you now going to test me on what that is?” MORGAN: “Because I have no idea.” MICHAEL KNOWLES: “2S means two-spirit.” MORGAN: “Two-spirit. What’s that?” GUEST: “I think that is an American-Canadian…” KNOWLES: “You have no idea, do you?” MORGAN: “Brilliant! You have no idea! We’re celebrating something. You have no idea what you’re celebrating!” [Michael Knowles explains what two-spirit means] MORGAN: “How does Michael Knowles know this and you don’t?!”

@VigilantFox Unplug it.

HOST: “You were previously hinting at a vision where it keeps human control over this singularitarian future.” ELON MUSK: “I don’t think humans will be in control of something that is vastly more intelligent than humans.” HOST: “It sounds like you’re like a doomer…” MUSK: “I’m just trying to be realistic here. Let’s say that there’s a million times more silicon intelligence than there is biological. I think it would be foolish to assume that there’s any way to maintain control over that.”

@BlackDumpling So a Templar Knight or Hospitaler.

Dungeons and Dragons Cleric of Jesus Christ: If you are a Christian, would you object to a player playing as a Cleric of Jesus Christ in your game? Assume good intent. This is not being done as mockery, or an attempt at blasphemy or the like. I'm not saying they're theologically correct, only that their intentions are not malicious. Assume that, through some esoteric means (it's D&D, stranger things have happened) the character, as part of their backstory, found Jesus Christ and began to spread the Word to the best of their ability (the Character lacks access to centuries of Christian doctrine, mistakes will be made). They request their choice of Life, Peace, and Knowledge domains (alternatively Light as well but not sure how well a Cleric of Jesus Christ chucking fireballs plays out). Further, their intent is to play it straight. They would follow the tenets and other core beliefs as much as possible within the realm of D&D... Symbol: A simple wooden cross (or a lamb, or the ichthys/fish). Favored Weapon: None, or open hand/unarmed strike. Worshipers: The poor and forgotten, repentant sinners, the sick, healers, those who suffer for righteousness, and anyone seeking forgiveness and new life. They would focus on devoted selfless service, humility, charity, and living the Sermon on the Mount. Tenets: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind; love your neighbor (even enemies) as yourself. Forgive as you have been forgiven (seventy times seven). Blessed are the meek, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers. Take up your cross daily, self-denial and sacrificial love. “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” I mean they're really looking to go the distance here. Finally, and I want to make this clear, this isn't meant as some gotcha or a hidden cruelty. I'm asking because I've never actually heard this particular question addressed and I trust people to understand the gravity of the discussion. So, would you object? And would them being a Christian themselves influence your decision at all?

@ir19946 @TodayinHistory Last I checked, not in the United States.

@TodayinHistory Did we forget Krakatoa?

Today in 1980, Mount Saint Helens erupted in Washington State. It was the deadliest and most destructive volcanic eruption in US history.

@pureMetatron Multiple communist leaning Popes.

The Catholic church used to be publicly and strongly against communism. What changed?

@VicLagina01 @Whiledvid "I don't understand it so it must be AI."

@Whiledvid How does it fly without a tail rotor? I call AI

5 months ago, a Ka-226 helicopter crashed in russia with employees of the military plant "Kizlyar Electromechanical Plant" The accident killed the deputy general director, chief engineer and chief designer

@Herr_Oberst45 @Protestia From one mockery to another? Salvation does not come through an institution, but through Christ. Also, this woman does not represent the whole of Protestantism. Catholics keep treating Protestantism like a monolith. It is not.

@Protestia If you are reading this and you are a Sola Scriptura believer and you are tired of this mockery of Christianity (e.g. Protestantism), the doors of the Catholic Church are open.

"(Saying) you have to claim Jesus as your Lord and Savior or you won't get to heaven makes no sense." Rev. Anna Flowers of the United Church in Walpole argues that "I am the way, the truth and the life" is NOT literal, & that there are many valid religions and ways to Jesus.

@TerriGreenUSA All hymns sound the same.

This video demonstrates the absurdity of contemporary Christian music today, that is the same tune, different words, and its meaningless messages like Bethel and Hillsong. It’s all about feelings.

@BiancoDavinci The parachute is impressive.

just wow

@Atomsmade That's a pretty good description of Satan. You don't have to worship him to spend eternity with him.

Birth isn’t a victory when this is the life that follows. Abortion saves lives from this kind of suffering. Children are not blessings, they are natural responsibilities that should be deliberately planned for.

@dillpicklemike @Matt_Pinner @elonmusk Because you stop to watch people die on this app.

@Matt_Pinner Why do I have to see people die all day long on this app? @elonmusk

I'm sure they are fine... right?! 😨

@bradrodway @DudespostingWs Life lessons for a few of them. Most will blame and continue to be a victim.

@DudespostingWs The life lessons this will ingrain into the majority of these players souls, will be worth infinitely more then some youth sports championship in 10-20 years time!

This might be the craziest way to win a state championship. The kid struck out, but the pitch hit the dirt and nobody threw to first because the other team thought the game was over. While they were celebrating, the runners kept going...
