He came back for a few days, then left forever.

The “sacrifice” is that he didn’t stick around forever.

To be fair, it’s not supposed to be Jesus’s sacrifice in Christianity, but humanity’s. Instead of having to sacrifice a chicken or a lamb for every occasion, God’s physical presence on earth was sacrificed as payment for all sins forever.

“Dark green is one of the 7 colors. A helpful redditor says you should kill yourself.”

I’m in my 40s and don’t remember the Carter Administration.

I can root for hope both sides to strike killing blows.

The “eleven dozen and seven” is functionally no different from “One hundred and thirty-nine.” We’d just have 2 more characters than we do now.

We even have a name for a third digit in base-12. 12 dozen is a “gross”.

The Babylonians used base 60, which is neat because it cleanly divides by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30, whereas base 10 has just 2 and 5.

Don’t change a word.

Soon, you’ll need it to fly domestically.

They actually set this up pretty far in advance though. For instance, I’m from Texas, where any IDs issued since October 2016 are complaint. It’s impossible for me to have a current ID that’s non-compliant.

So from my perspective there won’t really have been any changes since 2001 in my flying experience.

Let the GOP force them to become a state. They’d get 2 senate seats and more electoral college votes and congressional seats than any other state. Just in time for the Dems to run on deannexing Canada.

There’s a cap of $200.

And places like this should have income caps, after which you need to move out. A good practice is a system where income has to be under one cap to move in and have to leave after making a different, higher cap. It lets people get a foothold and establish some savings to prepare to support themselves.

Rich assholes hoarding wealth.

I like Forgotten Weapons quite a bit.

If people have to follow breadcrumbs to find which of the dozen groups is active, if any, very few people are going to join.

On reddit, if you wanted to find a sub for airbrushing, you would type in /r/airbrush. That was it.

On Lemmy, there’s no central location for communities, but even worse is that most of the big instances WILL have a community with that name - it’ll just be a dead community that someone started but never took off, so there’s a bunch of false leads.

No, but there’s fragmentation of communities. Instead of one central place for the community to form, you have to look at dozens of locations, where there may be a sub, but it may have 1 post in the last 4 months.

The issue is that Trump is already killing everything in government that serves the people anyway.

The Democrats need to tell them to get in line and follow the fucking law, or 100% of their funding will end right now.

If it ain’t flimsy, it ain’t Ikea.

I think this is an artifact of what’s oddly the biggest weakness of the fediverse: decentralization.

When I used reddit back pre-api stuff, my front page was 100% niche subs I’d subscribed to, but those niches have trouble le growing here because there’s so many instances.

I was super active in the scuba subreddit. Here on Lemmy, there’s several scuba groups that tried to form, but none of them stuck because they were all on different instances instead of one central location where everyone could work together to make the community.

As a result, most of us haven’t been filtering out 99% of Lemmy because the 1% where we’d be active doesn’t exist. It’s like joining reddit and having your frontpage be /r/all. It’s a shitty experience that g9ves a lot of weight to political posts.

I’m a white, Christian, male firearms enthusiast from Texas.

That’s a tough combination when I’m also extremely leftist.

Mozilla outage going to take a 90% hit to their income without going all-in on ads and user tracking.

When the insane Emperor Caligula was killed by his Praetorian guards and they installed Claudius in his place, the first thing the new Emperor did was execute the guards involved in the assassination.
