First Presidential Debate Megapost!
  • I'll be at work and avoiding the break room. I live in Utah where my options for candidates are usually "Über-Mormon Tr*mp Fascist" or "Obviously Mormon Fiscal Conservative Wealth Gospel Hate the Poor" or "Token Democrat who would shove a homeless person in front of a bus evangelical."

    I'll catch the memes afterwards.

  • Hiker dies in cow herd charge in Austrian Alps
  • I was feeling kinda sad about the whole thing then I saw the part about the two small dogs. I'm guessing they weren't on a lead.

    "Ha! Look at Gretchen play with the little Kuh. So nett! Oh...mama looks mad...ach Scheiße!"

  • Supreme Court rejects challenge to Connecticut law that eliminated religious vaccination exemption
  • Um, no.

    Letting yourself and your family be potential carriers of disease because your invisible sky daddy says abortion bad - which in the Bible is not the case - is forcing your beliefs on others.

    You don't want to vaccinate your kids to help protect the community at large? Then don't be surprised when society rejects your dumb selfish ass. Homeschool and wear masks out in public if you really believe.

  • The Tribune exclusive: Eyeing stronger ties, PM Modi to visit Moscow on July 8
  • BRICS just keeps winning, doesn't it?

    Brazil is led by a reactionary who understands nuance less than your average reddit troll, yet Lula is probably the best president they've had in 20 years.

    Russia. Wants to rule Europe but it's military is only slightly more competent than a bunch of 12 year old boys with airsoft guns and a 12 pack of Monster drinks.

    India is led by an ethnofascist who is using Hinduism to turn the country into a dictatorship. Will eat Russia to empower itself.

    West Taiwan aka China. Should focus on taking eastern Russia instead of trying to cause a massive war by invading Taiwan.

    South Africa. The least insane of the bunch.

    If Tr*mp wins, the US will probably sign up. It'll have to be called ABRICS though cuz 'Murica First!

  • ‘Too many old people’: A rural Pa. town reckons with population loss
  • The existence of close minded, bigoted people automatically renders them in violation of just about every societal norm and contract.

    Punching a racist/homophobe/terf/Mazi is always justified. Their existence is a threat to others because of their beliefs.

    Would you tell an abused spouse to tolerate or be less close minded about being hit or emotionally abused?

    Go f off with your fence sitting.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
  • Assembled a thousand years after the fact by a group with a vested interest in solidifying the narrative to fit their own.

    Hell, the Tanakh didn't really get put together until well after Christianity appeared and it was a reaction to Christians appropriating Jewish literary culture to establish their own.

    It'd be similar to people a thousand years from believing that Christian Gray is literally descended from Edward and Bella.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
  • Exactly. An example from outside the Bible might be Achilles. There was probably a great warrior with that name in the Mycenaean Greek world. Later storytellers probably just added more to make it sound better or the material was from other warriors who were like Achilles.

    Some of Jesus' teachings definitely come from the milieu of the Roman era in Judea and Palestina.

    Personally my favorite head canon is that Jesus was, or his parents were, Egyptian born Jews or Coptic converts to Judaism. It's a reverse Obamas birth certificate. There is so much time spent establishing the lineage and explaining the flight to Egypt.

  • Allergy to hypoallergenic pillow?

    I bought a pair of hypoallergenic pillows a couple of weeks ago and immediately started having a reaction to them. I washed them and no change.

    I looked at what they're made from and I think it might be the Lyocell Tencel in the cover - made from eucalyptus trees.

    Everything else about them is the same - afaik - as my other pillows.

    Anyone else experience this or know anything about it?

    Kinda newbie in need of guidance

    I've been lurking here for a while, trying to learn and set up my own stuff. I'm starting off with music. I have a few thousand files in different formats and plenty of duplicates.

    I already have an Emby server set up and it works very well.

    However, is there a music manager that will help me find and eliminate duplicates?

    I'm using Linux Mint and I'm still figuring out how to set up the various users and groups so that the software can access where my music is stored.

    I'm thinking Lidarr but - as mentioned - something about setting up users and a media group and doing the permissions is not clicking.

    For Emby to work, I've made the music directory a shared location and opened guest access.

    Any pointers to step by step guides on any of this would be very helpful as well.
