A lot of the “nonsensical” comes from translation issues.

You’re not a Hebrew farmer living in the middle east 2000 years ago, and the parable has been translated from ancient Hebrew to Greek, then to Latin, then finally into English.

The same goes for buddhist parables

I’ve read that some of these parables originally had clever word play.

While true, the intent behind Hanlon’s has been expressed for millennia. The Principal of Charity (which was only named in the 1950s)

Basically, never assume the worst about someone.

The problem here is when there is actual malice. But that’s when Occam’s razor comes in.

Snidely Whiplash only needs to find a bridge, preferably one over a large ravine.

Then he just has to tie the hostage to the center of the bridge. Then when the hero makes a daring rescue Snidely can blow up the bridge.

It was one of the reasons I switched. That and my favorite mod manager is working on a Linux native version. It’s not done yet, but it’s good to play other games from time to time.

Valheim is pretty brutal, but also highly moddable.

What’s the Roche limit of the ground you’re standing on?

That was Rush Limbaugh, may he rot in piss.

And the second they get it, they reinvent IP law, but in an even more restricted form.

Technically, there are police officers who qualify as serial killers.

I think it’s three or more separate killings nets you basic serial killer status. There are officers who easily meet that criteria.

Pretty much the exact same except that Hitler was a hardened war veteran, and Trump has been a conman all his life. Most of Trump’s cons were stupid and failed, but never quite hard enough for him to ever see consequences.

Hitler also went to prison for his coup attempt. It was a daycare style prison, but he still went.

Other than that, the similarities are striking. Likely because the only book that Trump in known to have read, is a copy of all of Hitler’s speeches.

It’s officially published. Look up the School of the Americas.

My reading of history is that Hitler failed because he was Hitler.

He was a powerful orator, and also a narcissistic man baby, high on his own self importance long before he was high on meth/cocaine/heroin/etc.

He was too paranoid to trust anyone more competent than he was, and he was fucking incompetent.

I could go on, but in short, Hitler was a conman who tapped into that special hatred that some people have in place of their hearts.

Well, security through obscurity never really did work

Another distro that’s easy to get going for gaming is Garuda.

Also, the easiest way to switch to any distro is to get a USB drive and install a program called Ventoy. Then you throw your install iso onto the Ventoy drive, boot from USB, and you’re good to go.

As a tip, pick up an external drive large enough for your Steam library. Then in Steam, you right click on each game and select Manage/Back up game files.

Doing it this way will save you days of downloading.

XP might actually be somewhat safe to connect by now. Most of the viruses and worms have updated past it by now.

Booker did stand around talking for a day. It wasn’t a filibuster, because no bill was up for debate. And he pledged undying loyalty to Israel during his day of remarks.

So while I admire his energy I’m not a fan of the support of genocide.

Peter Theil will never willingly step into the limelight. You’ll just see another poorly disguised cats paw like Musk.

You would think that. Especially with Homeopathic nonsense with diluting things with water until none of the molecules of the original substance are present.

You’d think that an aspiring Homeopath conman would just start with purified water, and call it a day.

That’s not what happens. Instead they seem to actually use the highly toxic whatever, usually deadly nightshade, and then skip the water dilution.

Look up the Highlands baby teething chews if you like being sad.

While America has a bunch of black sites. They’re all of questionable legality. That doesn’t stop the use, but even then it’s understood that once someone is in the US, they fall under US law, which includes constitutional protections.

So the way black sites had to work was to grab a non-citizen in a country other than the US, and transporting them to a site outside the US.

Still a monstrous practice, but there were at least some rules.

Trump wants to legally use black sites on everyone.

Part of the panicking should be wild bees. They’re dying at accelerated rates.

We also know why, commercial bee keeping is part of it, as is hobbies bee keeping.

And pesticides… and monoculture farming.

The actual story of the money changers is worse than most people know.

See, as part of their religious observance, the ancient Hebrews made a pilgrimage to the Temple. This was a mandatory part of their faith, much like the Hajj is for modern Muslims.

Those who were too poor to bring their own sacrifice could buy one at the Temple, but the Temple didn’t take the coin of the realm (the Roman coins), they only accepted Shekels.

So, the Money Changers. They set up in the Temple itself and were fleecing pilgrims of all their money.

In comes Jesus, who flipped tables and broke out the whip, and less than a week later he was crucified.

And this is the only part of the bible that I believe is 100% historically accurate. A peace loving Rabbi threw a fit over the Money Changers and was crucified for it.
