Again that wasn’t really an adaptation.
Like the movie, it was more Inspired by the books.
Unlike the movie, the show was fantastic! I’ve watched it several times.

An actual adaptation of Jumper, directed by Daren Aronofski.

Edit: The whole series really. With 4 years between Jumper and Reflex, then 17 years before Impulse and Exo are made back to back. Doing it that way all the actors will age properly.

Increased tariffs, aren’t going to compensate for the loss of the other taxes they cut. On balance it’s still lower taxes, just not for the poor.

Pedophilia and corruption are unrelated to family values. I never mentioned them. Not sure what your getting at with that.

They have nothing in common with the traditional platform of the Republican Party - smaller government, lower taxes, economic/fiscal responsibility, family values, religious values, etc.

Well they are still all in on lower taxes, and traditional religious family values.

I find it strange that anyone can look at the current US government and think it’s “Conservative”. The Republican Party has clearly become a radical, right wing, extremist, authoritarian, revolutionary sort of ideology. It’s obvious they want to completely remake the government and all of society. They’re not looking to conserve anything anymore.

Why do we advocate for, and pour hours of development into, ActivityPub rather than building clients which add a social layer to existing content distribution and communication protocols?

If clients built their own social layer, those would be limited to users of that client. If they opened up the social layer with an interoperable protocol, now you just made ActivityPub again.

“My favorite book said so”, isn’t an argument. It’s a delusion.

No. He operates as an Evangelical Apologist does. He makes disingenuous arguments that sound logical and convincing enough, as long as you don’t think about or look into them that much.

I think at Stamford Cambridge recently his whole argument against gay marriage was completely torn down, and he finally just said, he simply didn’t like it. I’ll look for the video.

Edit: Found it. His own channel has a video of the Cambridge debate. Odly, that student was edited out. But Cambridge has the full event. Including the one omitted

It does need one to sign up and make your account.
It no longer needs one to contact somebody. You can share a username instead of your phone number. That may be what you’re thinking of.

“Best” isn’t a question of truth.
Truly there is no “best”.
Truth only describes what is, without any judgement.

More opinions means more people searching for truth together and finding new things.

Finding more opinions, not truth.

If someone finds something new and share it, that could be reviewed and researched by people faster.

More information also means quicker double-checking for what is true

Slower. They must search through the deluge of opinion that grows exponentially faster than any truth could ever hope to.

Centralizing truth has a much more destructive aspect when dealing with truth. This can be seen practically on the difference of reach between the Fediverse and Facebook, for example.

Neither are made for truth.

Truth is a constructed entity.

Truth is discovered, not constructed. You may be thinking of consensus this whole time. Consensus is absolutely constructed. But consensus isn’t truth. Sometimes they align. More often by accident then by intent.

Opinions only obfuscate truth.
More opinions means less truth.

I read your rant, and comments.
You’re too hung up on story and believability. Neither are important.
Some movies use them sparingly, or even not at all. They aren’t worse off for it.

I think there’s a system level permission for that.
As I remember it, the pop up asking, appeared automatically the first time.

Been using Lawnchair. Not as good, but best I’ve found.

Blaming immigrants is classic political trope.
Right along with blaming the poor.

Even when the nation was welcoming immigrants, handing them a weapon, and shoving them to the front line. They were being denigrated and demonized by other Americans.

It’s an ad to upgrade, so I doubt it

A few reasons that I can see. None of them anti-intellectual. Just anti-higher ED.

1. College and University is increasingly expensive. Well beyond inflation.
2. And increasingly not a guaranteed path to financial freedom.
3. AI is clearly going after knowledge work first, epically entry level knowledge work that one would do out of college.
4. Decades of those like you denigrating less educated (yet arguably more important) work, combined with the first reasons may have made some disdainful of being pushed into higher education.

Yyeess! 🤘

Other people are not important to me because I care about them (at least coworkers). They are “important” because I care how they can make my life difficult

It’s not really an assumption. They basically said as much themselves. Some autistic people can be dicks too.
