Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

@TheMudPrince Si no crees que el arrepentimiento de Napoleón en Santa Helena es válido, entonces no crees en la misericordia infinita de nuestro Señor. Déjate de tonterías.
@ristegaming If you inmediately use stridebreaker after any hit or E right after auto/Q, then you would lose one tick of cleaver. Not that it matters much cause you would quickly proc the missing ticks with your E.
Dostoevsky was 28 when they stood him in front of a firing squad. Blindfolded. Hands tied. He could hear the rifles being loaded.
At the last second a messenger on horseback arrived. The Tsar had commuted the sentence. The entire execution was staged. Psychological torture designed to break him.
It worked. He had a seizure on the spot.
They sent him to a labour camp in Siberia. 4 years. Freezing. Starving. Sleeping on wooden planks next to murderers. His epilepsy got worse. He had no paper. No pen. Nothing.
When he got out he was broke. His first wife died. His brother died. He inherited his brothers debts. He was so desperate for money he signed a contract with a publisher that would have given away the rights to everything hed ever write if he missed the deadline.
He wrote The Gambler in 26 days to make it. Dictated it to a 20 year old stenographer named Anna. Married her three months later.
Then the real work started. Crime and Punishment. The Idiot. Demons. The Brothers Karamazov. The greatest novels in the history of the Russian language. Maybe any language.
The man who stood blindfolded before the firing squad, who convulsed on the ground while soldiers watched, who slept next to killers in Siberia for 4 years, who was buried in debt and grief.
That man wrote: "every minute can be an eternity of happiness."
He earned the right to say it.
its never over. never give up fren.
“Lord, during my time on earth i read Aquinas and Augustine and Liguori and-"
“did you feed the hungry? did you clothe the poor? did you visit the sick?”
“uhhhh…”
Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.
The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday
The manosphere is depressingly shallow. They sell a fantasy of eating steaks, driving fast cars (with a woman in a bikini), having big houses with stereos and a sauna (filled with women in bikinis), eating more steaks, and dying. No art, no life of the mind, just animal grunts.
@amigosnosomos@CarlosFHuerta@Seergiot3ck Si el menos del 1% de la población de México no se puede considerar rica, entonces esa palabra ya no tiene significado. 120 mil al mes significa que ganas, literalmente, mas de un millón de pesos al año, sobre todo con prestaciones.
Europeans have been bathing, washing, using had and fragranced soap, enjoying bathhouses with hot & cold running water, steam rooms & underfloor heating long before Islam existed.
Medieval Europeans washed daily & bathed weekly or more.

People talk about Tolkien and Martin in such flanderized ways lmao. Children of Hurin is so much bleaker than AKOTSK, for example. Acting like these two authors are one note writers with no variety in their tales is a grave misunderstanding.
