Russia hasn’t taken over all of Ukraine because… it’s filled with Ukrainians who aren’t letting them.

Willingness for peace would be going home.

How do Americans have more moral authority right now than Christians? They’re overlapping groups that as a whole are behaving pretty badly right now. You could apply the same logic here to police officers or many other groups (manyotherism?)

You may have a point with humanity as a whole, as there’s only one way to exit that group and it’s not going to be an effective solution to the world’s current problems.

It’s not “whataboutisn” when someone says “I own that and I’m doing what I can to fix things. This needs to be applied to other groups as well” though. That’s a “yes, and” not a “not this but that” argument.

In this context, the other groups are brought up solely to illustrate the issues, and not to condone the bad behavior festering inside the larger group that self-identifies as Christian.

Since we’re discussing Windows privacy here…

What I’d really like is something that creates a situation like VeraCrypt plausible deniability, but where the base image gets updated regularly so that the timestamps and temporary file usage also look plausible for a computer used today.

Then instead of running an app like this, you just log out, and when you log in with the wrong password, it presents a plausible if mostly empty userland that overwrites the real encrypted data as new files are written to disk.

Yup; upvoted, and doing exactly this.

But that same argument can be applied at all levels. These people are also Americans and humans, with a distorted sharpie-version of both identities.

We all need to own our shared identity with these people while rejecting the false narratives they stand behind.

Feel free to spit in my face then.

I’d argue that what these people are spreading is about as close to Christianity as Trump’s sharpie hurricane map is to an actual hurricane though; damaging and ignorant by misleading people.

As an example, they say God orders women to submit to their husbands. They get that from a letter Paul of Tarsus wrote to a group of early Christians in response to the way a particular group of (uneducated, likely trophy) wives were behaving that wasn’t in line with Jesus’ teachings to put others before themselves, because they misunderstood the bit about Jesus being an ultimate sacrifice that freed people from Jewish law to mean that you could behave however you wanted, and all would be forgiven. Paul told them that’s not how things work, and to ask their (likely educated in Jewish law) husbands to explain it to them at home instead of disrupting public meetings by preaching junk like this.

Unfortunately, a lot if what the public sees of Christianity in the US is remixes of exactly the same things the Bible these people own directly instructs against.

Jesus was a socialist pacifist. These people attempt to re-make him in their own image, taking instructions from his immediate followers out of context to justify their behavior, totally ignoring actual direct commands like “love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.”

You think he knows who writes his checks and where the book is stored?

26% of the vote-eligible population in advanced voting. All we need is a 50% turn out on election day and we’ve got the best turnout ever.

To be fair, from where he’s sitting, everyone is to the left, and any sane opinion is an attack on his point of view.

Then not every person they want to deport gets deported.

That was simple, wasn’t it?

“Harvard’s Legal Team” likely includes not only the best law professors in the world, but also all the alumni working pro bono.

Before Trump started cracking down on law firms, that may not have been the case, but they have nothing to lose now.

Those are his official donors.

Then there’s the ones who don’t want the publicity they’d get if he got a security clearance.

Not the year to move to Lytton I guess :/

And in recent years, VPN abuse by malicious actors has gone WAY up. Well, either that or the ability for InfoSec practitioners to trace the threat actor back to the VPN has gone up. Or a combination.

Depends on your definition of “population.”

In UAE and Qatar, the male citizens are generally happy.

Buy a Chicago Bulls hat at a thrift store and have brown skin?

Well, you all know the drill by now.

Only the ones the rich and powerful approve of.

Indeed; that’s exactly the type of thing Trump took advantage of in the US — getting away with behaviour because nobody had ever considered someone might decide that since it wasn’t illegal, why not do it?

But if we’re changing the rules to prevent ass hattery like PP’s, we need to ensure that it protects against the other extreme too… because otherwise someone will eventually take advantage of THAT, to equal detriment of the Canadian public.

Well, any game has at least two endings….

This is important. Learning involves change based on a balance of positive and negative feedback. Be comfortable making mistakes and learning not to repeat them in other contexts. Also learn how to use mistakes to improve on methods that didn’t seem like mistakes at the time.
