Hahahahaha

It doesn’t matter to book-banners whether or not the thing they don’t like is portrayed as positive or negative. Just the fact that it’s there is enough for them.

Lol, bud… Just Google “slavery in the Bible”

You’re in denial.

Slavery has never been acceptable, and I would expect a “holy book” meant to be a model for morality, regardless of when it is written, to at the very least be ambivalent on the topic of owning other humans as property.

Actually, that’s too generous. If I were to follow the teachings of a book, it would need to be explicitly anti-slavery. Something that would be particularly important in a time where slavery is “accepted and normal.” And really, a super fucking low bar.

We’ve got 10 commandments. At least 2 of them are about Yahweh being jealous of other gods, and yet none of them are about slavery.

Jesus could have easily said, “don’t own people as property,” and yet he didn’t.

No, he actually specifically outlined rules for owning and punishing your slaves. He (more than, imo) tacitly approves of slavery.

If you want to have this argument, you’re gonna lose.

But do you know what it does portray as a good thing? Slavery!

Yeah, the Greenland stuff will seem like a distraction all the way up until the day he announces the invasion.

Don’t sleep on that shit, this man does not make jokes.

If anything, these people are completely unoriginal.

Reichstag fire was my first thought… Hopefully not.

Buy… Software? You what?

Oh hey this is a shift for you. Maybe you’re all about Russian military aggression until you find out that you might need to actually get your hands dirty?

No fucking shit

So out of those three things, only one I would consider “the wrong side of history,” and it only really seems like that if you completely eliminate all context.

Are you really giving Finland shit for (rather successfully) defending their country against Soviet invasion?

They are going to wait as long as they possibly can before “officially” announcing it so it’s more difficult to stop. Meanwhile, until then, they will just do everything that they would be doing had they already announced.

Oh word… I tried MPV briefly but didn’t like it as much as vlc

Whoever told you that is your enemy

I wish MPC had a linux version. One of the few pieces of Windows-only software (along with foobar2000) that I actually miss.

A few months back I decided to fuck around and see if I could get it working in wine, and it seemed to work OK, but pretty jank. Too jank to consider seriously using.

I was having issues with it the other day, and so I pasted the URL into my browser and it would not let me watch past 1 min of any video without disabling ublock.

Needless to say, I didn’t watch the video. I’m done with using YouTube in any official way. If they successfully remove all options for avoiding ads on their site, then I will just never go there again.

Praise Keir in his infinite wisdom

Shit, sorry, I dunno how my Innie got my lemmy pw… Back to the ether mines!

Because they invariably never clean up after themselves…

But mostly, in the US, because sex is verboten and more dangerous than literal gun violence.

It’ll be fixed

Dude straight up just says it and nobody gives a fuck.
