1·6 days agoSame goes for the vikings, now that we’ve accepted that as a mythology
You get that a lot of Neo Nazi white supremacists are hella into Norse religion right? There’s a reason someone listing “Asatru” on a dating profile is very sus.

Federal regulators should have shut that shit down ages ago, but the grifter party loves MLMs (look at how the DeVos family made their money…)
The US hasn’t “technically” been at war since WW2. We weren’t “at war” during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War…
Cuomo, the guy who tried to subpoena the gynecological records of someone he sexually harassed, is posting weirdly horny stuff?
The video game “Hypnospace Outlaw” also captures a lot of this feeling - being in the late 90’s/early 2000’s stumbling through a series of web rings, find all sorts of hobby projects and obsessions.
Gopherspace also has a lot of this, although it’s text based.
There’s also the childish desire for an “I told you so” as they watch anyone they don’t like being sent to hell.
If you are a veteran, I hope that if you believe in heaven that you realize that you’re going to hell… Because breaking the Commandments includes not murdering for any reason whatsoever including for your country.
The Bible is pretty explicit that killing in warfare doesn’t count. The prohibition is specifically of murder. I’d ask if you were a Jehovah’s Witness, who do interpret the verse this way, but 99% of Christians and Jews would understand that commandment as only discussing killing out of warfare. You comment later that you are “playing to the Christian Reader” - this is something that absolutely would not work. (And why? Lemmy is like 90% atheist?)
Also - you get that the vast majority of people who join the military never kill anyone right? Not every soldier goes to the front lines, hell, the majority don’t.
Many people who join are young people who believe that they are actually protecting their country. Because, that’s what the military would ideally do. Yeah, in reality the US is a hegemon that does a lot of fucked up shit, but stupid 18 year olds don’t usually understand that. Someone whose body got fucked up because they believed that they were “protecting their country” because the media and their entire social world told them that should probably not be left in the cold.
And yeah, student loans are fucked too. Making this a “people who went to college” versus “people who went to the military” thing is the absolute dead opposite of class consciousness, and counterproductive as shit. I’m surprised you aren’t an .ml troll.
Edit:
Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages. — Luke 3:14
Nah, I think you just don’t want to acknowledge racism exists.
1·18 days agoI was showing a student the Collatz conjecture last week. It would be a nice way to enter the millionaire class.
Probably needs no introduction. Lots of companies use this to screen programmer applicants, but you can just treat it like a challenge for fun, too.
Realistically, would going through many of the challenges on this/similar websites be useful in finding a programming job? My degree isn’t in CS, but I often teach programming including some higher level data structures/algorithms material.
13·19 days agoI see the same quote in other articles
Yeah, it makes absolutely no sense.
Doesn’t that show suggest a romantic relationship between the preteen Lydia and the adult(?) Beetlejuice?
Gay marriage is legal in every state since 2015. Supreme Court ordered it with Obergefell v Hodges
It’s primarily a Jewish and Muslim thing. Christianity doesn’t really require it.
With the “Micheal Obama” shit, they have two specific missing children’s cases that they claim Malia and Sasha secretly are. It’s ghoulish.
