@davefromcamp@avidseries Jesus wasn't a trinitarian. If he was God, who did he pray to? Peter wasn't one either-read his early speeches in Acts; he viewed Jesus as a man exalted by God. I'm not defending Mormonism. But excluding groups based on later 4th-century creeds literally excommunicates Peter.
@davefromcamp@avidseries Paul (especially if you exclude the forgeries) clearly wasn't a trinitarian. The earliest Christians did not think Jesus was equal to God. The doctrine is a later rationalization.
@CherylT38525476 Saying the Russia "owned" the nukes ignores how the USSR worked. The 14 breakaway republics were 50% of the population. Ukraine was the military backbone: mining uranium and building the ICBMs (like the SS-18) & bombers. It was joint infrastructure that Ukraine heavily built.
@ABJeffBerube@jkenney@grok Grok replied that people who would gain Alberta citizenship would lose Canadian citizenship, and a UDI wouldn't trigger this but the negotiated separation would.
@MasterMaliq Why do you love Muhammad? I mean, it's a historical fact that he was a pedophile warlord. If you don't think that's a big deal, well, that just tells me something about you.
@MarkToxicPettit Tesla's agile, but not that agile. Example: they removed the turning stalk from the Model 3. It was clearly a terrible change and it took Tesla ~2 years to fix it. If it had taken 2 months then I'd likely agree with you.
@IM4CommonSense1 If oil goes up $50/bbl and then comes down $30/bbl, that's still a net negative (for consumers). Trump should only be credited if oil prices drop to the same levels as the start of 2026 once the war is over.
@WayneMathison Sin taxes aren't baked into everything. How do taxes on tobacco and alcohol raise the costs on people who don't use either? Reducing the negative externalities of the use of those products likely reduces government expenditures. I support taxes on both.
@davepl1968 Even if that were true, would it be surprising? ~350k people die every year in Canada with a median age of 80+, and many of the top 10 causes of death are health related, and we would expect a good percentage of those want to skip over significant pain/suffering.
@NietATrollBot@VampArmandSuxx@NeoScooch@gator_gum Khelif also isn't eligible to compete in World Boxing, so it's not just the IBA. WB is the new organization that replaced the IBA in the Olympics, and on this issue they both agree. Boxers need to be female before they can compete in the women's division.
@peterboghossian@MarioNawfal Nathan Myhrvold's company (Intellectual Ventures) made one of these years ago, and it sounds like it's even fancier. It could determine the sex and only kill the females. But who know how much how much it would cost. https://t.co/wOGI1w2nQT
@EricLDaugh The USA should be committed to Ukraine since they signed the Budapest Memorandum and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons on that assurance. There is no equivalent to that when it comes to the Iran war and Europe.
@Christo86383094@PeterZeihan Competitive advantage. Canada is able to create all sorts of products (and underlying commodities) cheaper than the USA does. Lumber, oil, natural gas / LNG, aluminum potash, uranium, electricity.
