I'm sure this belief of the Mooooooslims will be exempt amirite? Leviticus 20:13 MSG:
If a man has sex with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is abhorrent. They must be put to death; they are responsible for their own deaths.
But it'll be illegal if it's a Christian quoting it???
Citation? I'm aware there's a problem with blacks being overrepresented in prison populations for numerous reasons, among them possession of cannabis. Is there overlap? I'm asking as an SJW looking for another crusade!
Pretty sure slavery is only bad in Christianity when it's the Israelites who are the slaves. Genesis 9:20-27 MSG:
Noah, a farmer, was the first to plant a vineyard. He drank from its wine, got drunk and passed out, naked in his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw that his father was naked and told his two brothers who were outside the tent. Shem and Japheth took a cloak, held it between them from their shoulders, walked backward and covered their father's nakedness, keeping their faces turned away so they did not see their father's exposed body.
When Noah woke up with his hangover, he learned what his youngest son had done. He said,
Cursed be Canaan! A slave of slaves,
a slave to his brothers! Blessed be God, the God of Shem,
but Canaan shall be his slave. God prosper Japheth,
living spaciously in the tents of Shem. But Canaan shall be his slave.
I forget where it's established that Ham and the Canaanites were black, but there you go. If you don't enslave blacks, you're against god. Don't tell me that's not what modern Christians believe because I know better. I've seen it myself. And here I thought the passage about lying to outsiders was just in the Koran and it was only Moooooooslims who did that.
Reichsführer Jesus had a few things to say about poverty, notably the Parable of the Talents: the poor are only poor because they're lazy and don't understand how to be investment bankers. They deserve to have even what they have taken from them.
Hmm, thousands. I think that the Moooooooooooslims would be out then. They've only got 1.5 thousands so far. Christianity has 2 thousands, so technically we should tell them. I think we've going to have to go back to both of those religions' roots, though. Abraham's religion has been ethnic cleansing for at least 3 thousands, not to mention that weird little merger with Baal worship MikeeUSA likes. If we can consider Mooooooooslims and Christianity to be forks, then we might be in business.
Every now and then Buddhists get antsy, but they tend to set themselves on fire instead of other people.
It's too bad we don't have reliable records of Germanic paganism or really any history for African religions. I think the Inca and Aztecs and others in that area were going strong for a while but those also died out or were conquered by Christianity.
So, Abraham's religion it is. Let's write them a strongly worded letter.
But I was raised to expect that when government thugs tell you to hand over your guns that it would spark the 2nd American Revolution and Reichsführer Jesus would come down from the clouds and lead an army of True Christians to slaughter all the infidels such as Protestants, Catholics, Moooooooooslims, anybody else who attends the false churches made of the hands of men, and atheists. Then the mead halls of New Jerusalem would open to welcome all of those True Christians who fought the Last Battle and charged the infidels for Reichsführer Jesus while the other 6,999,989,000 people plunged to their eternal torment in the Lake of Fire. We would feast to their delicious screams.
(Ugh, why do I have to type ü on this site and just typing the letter goes ü? Weren't our new overlords supposed to fix Unicode already?)
Maybe I'm dense, but isn't it Congress' job to renew laws that have expiry dates? I skimmed the article but it didn't seem to clarify what I'm confused about. Is it the case that the R team did their right honorable duty as true statesmen to renew that law and Obama failed to sign it? The R team did have a majority in at least one branch of Congress in 2013, didn't they? My memory is hazy.
I mean, good grief. The president isn't a dictator. That's also why I'm not very worried at all about Trump! Trump! Trump! or even Darth Pence.
Also a good reason to have contempt for the D team when it had control of both houses of Congress 2008-2010. They could have passed something less corrupt than Obamneycare.
I've played around with Drupal 6 and 7. FUCK YOU DRUPAL. FUCK YOU. I AM NEVER TOUCHING THAT SHIT AGAIN. I AM UNINSTALLING THAT SHIT FROM MY TEST SERVER.

How fucking braindead stupid do you have to fucking be to fucking do that?
Have you read any news lately? Were you completely unaware of the misogynerd narrative?

Are you kidding? The War on Christmas hasn't been going well for us under Baraq Hussein Soetoro. We need the smartest men and women in greeter positions to use their technical expertise to strategically deploy Santas, pine trees, striped poles, the virgin goddess, and the other holy pagan symbols of Reichsführer Jesus! Only Walmart greeters have the boots-on-the-ground experience to prevent the gay Mooooooooslims from outlawing Christmas with their highly sophisticated containment strategies based on the latest engineering advancements!

The region outside Earth's atmosphere and extending out to just beyond the Moon's orbit, including the Lagrangian points, is sometimes referred to as cis-lunar space. The region of space where the gravity of the Earth remains dominant against gravitational perturbations from the Sun is called the Hill sphere. This extends well out into translunar space to a distance of roughly 0.01 AU, or 1% of the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun.
Aaaah, I was perplexed by your reply to my comment.
It's correct that Trump likely will not be coming after me. That's a benefit of not being a murderer. Plus, as a citizen, I think, for now, I can reasonably trust that should I decide to become a murderer, nobody will be calling for a revocation of my citizenship. Also, if I decided I wanted to burn a flag after Trump gets Congress to pass a law revoking the citizenship of flag burners, attempted enforcement would just be a long, drawn-out, meaningless battle to the Supreme Court. And if the Supreme Court is packed with enough judges that believe that something other than the Constitution is the supreme law of the land, well, then we're all in deep shit so I won't be alone. Also I think I can simply write off any possibility that Congress or even the Several States in an Article V Convention would ever amend the Constitution to allow the revocation of citizenship to be a punishment available (or to possibly redefine citizenship such that this is the effect). Not that citizenship hasn't been redefined by amendment before, but it just seems to extraordinary to imagine.
ANYWAY!
I think I see the mistake you've made. Twitter is a private entity and has the right to choose to publish or not publish the submissions of anybody in particular. Twitter is not bound to be the herald of POTUS.
I can understand why people would be angry at Twitter for dropping Trump, but I can think of a whole shit ton other reasons to be angry with Twitter. In fact, I would recommend that nobody use them anyway, but whatever.
You're not a special snowflake, and neither is Trump.
It's one of those places where you have to see how it works into your MinMax spreadsheet. If you're a tank, uptime gives a bonus to drawing aggro, so you'll want to use the non-smearing servers to get that extra second of uptime. On the other hand, glass cannons will want to use the smearing server to get the DPS bonus.
You see, stuff like this is what I've been worried about. It doesn't matter whether Trump is literal Hitler, figurative Hitler, metaphorical Hitler, or fucking Mecha-Hitler. Yeah, we've seen presidents like Lincoln being the go-to example that have done things that aren't too constitutional. And that business about the Japanese internment. And no, it wasn't right. But America is great enough that it made it through. And while I'm starting sentence with conjunctions, I should point out that those two examples were actual fucking wars not a bunch of hysterical snowflakes freaking out about the (gay and vegan) Moooooooooooooslims. We've got so many snowflakes doing that it's turning into a fucking blizzard.
I want to live in a country great enough to treat criminals with justice, yes to treat them better than they deserve in shithole countries like, oh I don't know, what Daesh wants to build! 'Course, that guy's not a citizen unlike the flag burners Trump wants to strip of citizenship, just a legal resident. Deportation would be one appropriate response in this case, and I'm too lazy to research precedent or see what the moon matrix media has to say about this one. If the snowflakes demand that he be deported and set free without answering to us for his crimes, so be it. Why not? That's a great precedent there. Want to kill a bunch of Americans? Why, all you have to do is head on over, cause death and destruction, and all they'll do is send you back!
I want to live in a country great enough that its citizens can freely show disrespect to national symbols and traditions. I want to live in a country great enough that its citizens can freely show disdain for that country's religion. I want to live in a country great enough that its citizens can freely block the president on social media.
So are Trumpers going to finally bring an end to America's greatness? . . . I suppose eventually, Germany did become great again. To paraphrase Carl Sagan, given enough time, everything changes.
I'd posit that there are a good chunk people far enough on one side of the Kinsey scale that "many" would be descriptive. I think I remember hearing from somewhere it was like 10% of the population.
What I've become aware of, however, is that the condition of preferring same-sex sexual contact to opposite-sex sexual contact--which up until a little while ago I had been mistakenly assuming was "gay"--is quite different from the gay lifestyle.
Suddenly what you're saying here makes an incredible amount of sense and is a straightforward observation since I assume you're talking about people who live the gay lifestyle. (Examples of the gay lifestyle: Rent, Angels in America, whatever film the guy who directed Silence of the Lambs did as an apology to gays for the confusion about Buffalo Bill's character, Rocky Horror Picture Show, etc. Those of us who aren't dying of AIDS because we don't fuck everything that moves don't count as gay.)
There could be that. Plus, just considering that 99.99% of the general population doesn't fall into that demographic, it may well be more impossible to find a trans actress for one of those roles than it is to find a cisgendered one for a programmer position!
Personally I don't really care about the medical history of the person playing a character. What does drive me up the wall is when they have straight-up guys in dresses (can't even call it drag because at least drag performers can be convincingly female) in roles that are supposed to be people who have completed male to female transition.
(As opposed to say the use of drag in Monty Python skits. I'll offer an imaginary satoshi if somebody can link me to an SJW hyperventilating about their use of drag as being transphobic. I'm sure it's just a Google search away.)
What's even better about transgenders show up is that they're not played by trans actors. But what the hell do I care? Idris Elba is the gunslinger and it's going to be epic! Also the conniption fits from conservatives about a black man playing somebody who's basically Clint Eastwood's unnamed gunslinger will be epic as well!
(Well, it'll be epic as long as JJ Abrams or Michael Bay don't manage to shit it up with spooky lensflares at a distance.)
A better criticism that's offered on forums where people care about that kind of crap is that not only are trans characters not played by trans actors but that they're almost without exception assassins, criminals, prostitutes, or psychopaths.
I'm just waiting to see how ham-fisted it's going to be when Star Trek wades further into transgender territory than that episode about the post-gender species where Riker was being sexy. I'd grant that a trans person with 24th century wax on/wax off cosmetic surgery probably should be played by somebody who "passes," whether because they have an advanced infiltrator class woman suit (see point above about trans people in cinema being psychopaths) like me or because they're cisgendered. Even 23rd century medicine should be able to pull that off even if it wasn't wax on/wax off. It should be mentioned in passing or maybe a flashback somewhere buried in the 3rd season ideally.
If I were writing, you'd only know a character was trans when delving into his/her backstory unless I were writing for one of those boards for fantasy/sci-fi stories specifically about the process of gender change.* (I think it was Serano who criticized that sort of thing in TV and film as gender transition voyeurism, which makes sense.) As The Advocate elaborated, being gay is more about the gay lifestyle than the biological realities of human sexuality. So it follows that being trans is more about the trans lifestyle than the biological realities of human gender.
* Cue and/or queue the AC(s) pointing out I talk about having a woman suit too much. I admit, I do. But it's fun! And it's not like I'd just blow an infiltration mission that way IRL. (Well, knowing that Cameron was a T-900 chassis in a woman suit didn't stop John Conner from going steady with her in a potential future, maybe political correctness now wants us to accept killer reprogrammed robots from the future as humans?) I suppose I could go on about the fun contrast in a show that basically has somebody who's trans opposite a real womyn-born-womyn "my womb makes me a better person than you!" feminist like Sarah Conner. Quite amusing the episode where Sarah Conner basically gives a trans woman the same self-righteous speech about her womb she gave Miles Dyson in T-2 (unfortunately they never made another Terminator movie after that one).
I think the trick is that unless systemd has completely destroyed Debian (smug Gentoo user here), Linux updates don't require multiple reboots and even replacing the kernel doesn't need to be done from single user mode.
Windows is just stupid in that regard. Unless I'm updating the kernel, worst case updating my box I might have to restart X Window. If I'm updating the kernel, it's just one reboot with no special single user install environment needed.
