That’s some Mussolini SI SI SI SI SI shit

That’s because officially Putin knows who he supports has negative connotations for the electorate.

Whoever Putin visibly puts his weight behind is the opposite of who he wants to win.

And I don’t see them serving Panda Express in Beijing. The point is not authenticity it’s that different cultures take what they perceived to be another culture’s food and bend it to their preferences.

But mostly I was making a joke because of its name.

That’s Pizza Americana though

… Men are also ~20% larger than women on average. Is this count standardized by size of the person?

It’s the correct decision that will never happen - Children have no rights⁺ in modern society.

Any zealous religious parent being told they can’t bring up their child in their religion would throw an absolute shitfit.

⁺The only “right” of a child is framed in terms of parental responsibilities.

It’s not a misreading at all. In many fundamentalist sects (such as the one I left) that’s the dogmatic truth of those verses.

Everything material is sinful and holding you back.

I have lived with and continue to love many religious people - that does not make them rational. That does not make their religious beliefs OK. With all the love in their hearts they still participate in evil and coercive control of others. They are particularly dangerous in that they believe in their heart of hearts that they are doing the right thing.

This is the reality of religion: it is dangerous, coercive, self propagating brain washing that forces people into shape. It creates panopticons. Window twitching neighbors that snitch and shun.

This is true of all religion. In Christianity it’s true of southern baptist and Lutheran’s and Christian scientists and episcopalians and Jehovah’s Witnesses and 7th day Adventists and Mormons and Catholics and Orthodox and …

I similarly left Christianity from a far more fundamentalist sect and yes: the coercion is significant on all levels. It’s scary once you realize what’s been going on.

It’s an incredibly controlling form of human culture and not given its due wariness.

all earthly possessions

Matthew 6:19-34 and Luke 18:22-25

Pretty unequivocal: give up everything and serve God.

there is no coercion within Islam to wear a hijab, kinda like how there is no coercion within Christianity to be a virgin.

The fuck there isn’t. Coercion in Christian sects is rampant. Your parents finding out you’re not a virgin will have you disowned in plenty of Christian households.

People who want to oppress women will do it regardless of means

And people who want to murder will do it regardless of means. That doesn’t allow us to throw up our hands and let murder cults exist. Instead we extirpate them, outlaw them, stamp them out both legally and culturally.

To distinguish them, just get their confidence and ask them in a safe environment.

Pragmatically speaking this is, unfortunately, the best we can hope for. I’m not talking about pragmatics here though: I’m talking about fundamentals. Theory. What is a truly polite society?

It’s not one where religious coercion is allowed to fester.

And Christians are supposed to give up all early possessions, renounce sex and serve God all their days.

What’s your point? Theory means fuck all.

Religions are coercive social structures. You cannot distinguish those doing it willingly from those corrected into “proper behavior”. As such a civil society can permit neither.

Re: downvotes - no idea why it’s not working, but your anger is obvious enough without it

Choosing to wear a hijab is totally cool, as long as it’s not because of a religion.

Religion uses coercion and indoctrination to control people.

It doesn’t matter if it’s state sanctioned or not: the social contract imposed by religion is violence. It doesn’t matter if it’s the government threatening jail time or your friends threatening social isolation. It’s coercive.

And you can’t distinguish between those who do it willingly and those who are forced: so a civil society can permit neither.

Fuck hijabs and Islam.
Fuck christofascists and tradwives.
Fuck hindu nationalists and caste systems.

Fuck any and every religion that insists they need to impose their ways on others to be in good favor with their God. Fuck them in any and every form.

The eye is literally a part of your brain poking out of a hole in your skull. It’s really hard to transplant. It’s nearly impossible to get sight from a transplanted eye:

There are on average ~7 million cone cells and ~92 million rod cells in the eye, each of which has its own separate nerve connection that runs all the way into the occipital lobe.

This guy would be the first person to ever get vision from a transplant.

Americans in Massachusetts are able to install solar panels and run their house.

It’s a dangerous command - I’d rather not run it by accidentally hitting the f key a second time.

If it’s not using GCM then it must be long polling, unless signal servers are set up to use a 3rd form of push (APNS for iOS, GCM for Android)

Hi! Professional android dev here who has done some work on migrating an app to foldable:

Apps don’t guess. If they’re using XML they make specific layouts for a given width of screen.

If they’re using compose it’s even easier: the entire UI library is built for adaptive layouts. The main issue is a lot of apps are not in compose UI (or not entirely) - and material 3 has excellent components but it’s even less widely used.

Tldr: tech debt

A potential cause of the wonkiness is explicitly setting resizeableActivity="false" in the app manifest.
