Scientology isn’t a religion or a cult-like one - at least not for the top tier.

It’s a doomsday cult disguised as a religion to be a tax dodge. Scientology has Gold Base and Trementina base among others, all bunkers. The famous people get money, tax free, donated to their “church”, and is used to fund doomsday bunkers.

Ok, this argument is pointlessly absurd because you don’t get to stop there and have to apply it to human migration all over the planet. If you’re going to be anal about it.

Oh boy, here goes some whitewashing of Melania. Wait until she starts painting.

Another aficionado, I see.

Free porn site. Nothing too radical.

We had a bumper crop rhis year. Highly unusual. Often it’s hit or miss. Last year was pretty mild. Year before was almost none. We just moved here 4 years ago. I only spot fertilize individual plants. I don’t do “whole lawn”. I don’t clear all leaves, just mulch them in place. I don’t clear the edges so perfectly with the weed trimmer. I never use pesticide.

Makes me wonder if the previous owner did and they’re recovering.

Ads have ruined the internet. Truly.

Ah, I remember this image. It received some kind of award or something and created a stir when it was revealed to be AI gen. I can see why that would be incentive to want copyright.

I play with AI image generation all the time. No way do I see that as my work, there’s no skill other than positive and negative prompts, maybe feeding it a a starter image set or something.

Where it might be more concerning is if you use AI gen to create an 2D example of something, then an artist creates a 3D physical representation of the thing. Who owns it? AI famously is not good at creating “whole” things, but one can certainly interpret that image to make a whole of it.

A lot of times bad spelling and grammar are both engagement bait ploys. People can’t resist clicking to make comments about it.

You’d have to take 16 in a day. Standard pill is 200mg. I can’t imagine taking that many. Most I’ve ever taken is 2.

Odd, it was the other way around where I lived. CC had the best prices while BB was overpriced, and like you said, CC’s gaming section was great.

It’s absolutely not a joke.

Abstract: *Violent far-right extremists have targeted critical infrastructure to radicalize and recruit members, promulgate their narratives, and sow chaos, all in an attempt to precipitate the destruction of political systems and society writ large. Accelerationist ideology, conspiracy theories, disinformation, and far-right extremist narratives have played a key role in the prioritization of critical infrastructure as a target for the violent far-right.

They’re more than inconveniencing people or causing damage and expensive repairs, they’re killing people.

The death of a woman that occurred after firearm attacks on power substations caused a massive power outage last year has been ruled a homicide, newly released autopsy records show.

ITT everyone talking about liver damage? It’s tylenol that is harder on the liver. Ibuprofen is harder on the kidneys. Yeah, you can mess with your liver if you take too much ibuprofen, too.

Isn’t that the kicker? Probably less than a year’s pay for that guy.

Wild guess that he may have had more skeletons in the closet than just this one.

Seems like they knew what he’d done, so hopefully they’ll be able to undo the damage.

It doesn’t rehabilitate, either. Cheaper and more profitable to warehouse people than to offer psychiatric and educational care. Yes, before some pedants tell me that prisons do offer some of these things, I know they do. But they are not the default, and they are not always easily accessed.

You took that out of context.

That was intended to mean, as I said, in a modern context. As in you cannot get there via public transportation today. This conversation has nothing to do implementing transportation, this has to do with what we have and how accessible smaller towns are.

So were you looking to be angry or something?

I really don’t know what you’re on about. I stated what we have today. Period. My comment has nothing to do with “propaganda” or rail history in the US. Did you even reply to the right comment?

Depends.

If you live in a very rural area it can be more than an hour by car to some of these things, 50 miles or more, other items may not exist at all like public transportation. Inter-city public transportation is all but imposable for smaller locations, difficult and lengthy the greater the distance and size differential in locations.

I used to live in a metro area. Everything was within 10 minutes walk except medical care, but walking to the subway would get you to top tier medical facilities in about 15-20 minutes. Getting to nearby “bedroom” communities was also pretty easy thanks to a commuter rail.

I now live in a suburban area that has OK bus service but it’s not very convenient to where I live at all. Everything is within a 10 minute drive, and unfortunately a car is necessary due to the lack of sidewalks in many places. It does have light rail to a major metro area, about two hour’s ride, and then you can access the metro area major transportation network to all nearby areas and further away. Probably about as good as it gets in the US.

Nearest store of any kind - 1 mile

Full serve store - same

Library - .75 mile

Bus stop - 1.2 miles

Small park - .5 miles

Large park - 3 miles

Access to light rail - 4 miles

Interesting reading the responses here. I set static addresses all the time and have had zero issue over a decade +.
