   @Wifiwits @dalias I don’t have the bandwidth to reply to 50-100 comments a day across platforms especially during the week.

   I’m engaging more than usual today because it’s a Sunday morning and not a work day.

   As it stands I mostly post in batches during the hour or so in the mornings and at night dedicated to reading tech news. I may post during my lunch break on weekdays but I definitely don’t have time to reply to comments in that time window.

   HOLY SHIT.

   DALLAS FUCKING TEXAS city council just voted unanimously to reject a $25 million package from #ICE requiring Dallas PD to arrest 50 immigrants per day.

   As a reminder, Texas is not a red state. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans in Texas. This is why Bishop William Barber says the states of the South in general should not be called "red." They are rigged.

   @actuallyautistic If you're wondering why donations are not being processed, GoFundMe processes Canadian Dollar donations in Ireland, and all the banks there are closed today for St. Patrick's day.

   As a result, here is a Kofi link but I've had donations arbitrarily held by PayPal before using Kofi thanks to my recent ID changes. It's here regardless if it means getting money faster: https://ko-fi.com/jackvancouver/goal?g=0

   I have just run out of food with no indications any of my donations are being processed today, so I've become slightly unstable. Last night I was a buzzkill in social situations. #aspie #aspielife

   #Steinglass describes evidence from Feb 2018.

   Jurors are showing signs of fatigue.

   When Steinglass talks about the the #TrumpOrganization, he says “In New York state, bottom line, you cannot lie in your business records.”

   There’s a sidebar on the schedule for the remainder of the day.

   As Steinglass leaves he asks jurors directly if they’re good to go a bit longer. Some must have said they could, because he is continuing .

   @latein @ArdainianRight @hachi @djsumdog @meowski @BowsacNoodle @mrsaturday If you want a definition of what a true Christian believes then look at the Apostle's Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed:

   https://bookofconcord.org/ecumenical-creeds/

   Gnosticism, no matter the flavour, is not Christian. Believing that the God of the Old Testament is the Demiurge is not Christian.

   Christians confess that there is only one God who is the sole creator of all things which leaves no space for a Demiurge, Christians also confess that God is good which leaves no space for a Demiurge, and Christians confess that God created all things out of nothing which leaves no space for a Demiurge.

   The idea that the God of the Old Testament is the Demiurge is absurd and only came about because people couldn't reconcile God punishing people in the OT and dying on the cross for them in the New Testament, completely missing all the ways in which God demonstrates His mercy and compassion in the OT. It's the same God and the OT and NT link together in so many ways that there is no room for the God of the OT to be a Demiurge.

   As for Jesus being a mortal man possessed by "the Christ" or the Holy Spirit. Christians confess that Jesus is God, not that He is of a similar nature but that He is God. Read the Nicene Creed "very God of very God" and "being of one substance with the Father" spell it out pretty clearly. This leaves no room for "Jesus was a mortal man possessed by the Christ" in actual true Christian belief. If Jesus was just a skinsuit being worn by the Holy Spirit or something then the entire foundation of the faith is nothing but sand and Christians are to be pitied because a skinsuit cannot save.

   Have you ever actually looked at what Christians believe and compared it to what gnostics believe? Seriously, have a listen to a couple of @SuperLutheran 's episodes in the playlist I linked, it's night and day.

   As for "well if someone calls themselves Christian then they must be!":

   21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ (Matthew 7:21-23 ESV)

   This is why a Christian is judged to be true or not based on whether they bear fruit, as in do they live according to God's will? Do they love their fellow Christian? Do they help people in need? The Devil can appear as an angel of light, wolves can wear sheep's clothing, anyone can call themselves a Christian but that doesn't mean they are.

   https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/britain-is-being-too-slow-to-ban-smartphones/

   The tide is also turning globally. Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill this week to ban under-14s in the state from having social media accounts and make platforms erase any already created. In Utah, under-18s already cannot use social media between 10.30pm and 6.30am. France recently introduced a new law requiring social media platforms to verify users’ ages and obtain parental consent for those under 15, while the EU Digital Services Act has banned targeted advertising at children. In China, TikTok users under 14 can only use the app for 40 minutes a day.

   As usual, the UK lags behind, weighed down by the bloated, bureaucratic mess that was the Online Safety Bill. Michelle Donelan, the technology secretary, has said that the government is looking at banning children under 16 from buying mobile phones as part of a new consultation. However, given that any law would only ban the sales of mobile phones directly to children, and not stop parents from buying phones for their children, this seems as useful as a glass hammer.

   I do think kids should be off smart phones, but I don’t see how it can realistically be enforced. I assume the French ban uses the same tech they brought in to verify age on porn and gambling sites. Does anyone know how the Florida and Utah legislation works?
