So they use an algorithm then to create your feed? Not a fan. That's where the corruption sets in. I'm pretty sure that gab is just a reverse chronological feed of whatever is posted from people you follow.

I think it's more that you either have a god-centered worldview or a man-centered worldview. I don't think there's any middle ground there. Andrew is just phrasing that in a spicier way.

Francis Schaeffer promoted the idea that only the god-centered worldview allows for freedom without chaos. Freedom under a man-centered worldview leads to chaos that necessitates the use of force to prevent society from breaking apart. Thus, in his view, a man-centered worldview inevitably leads to authoritarianism of one form or another.

Pretty sure gab is open source and anyone can inspect their code or use it to run their own site.

Parler is reported to have many issues with who is funding the site and seems to be framed by many as the "acceptable" alternative to twitter while no one "respectable" mentions gab. If gab is unmentionable in polite circles they are probably doing the right thing and that's where we should be.

Wow. He's delusional! So many of those "facts" are pure spin and can be easily shown to be fabricated. Lies about election fraud? C'mon man!

Agreed we need all the MAGA we can get. Mr. Gonzalez lives about a mile away from me so I’m happy to get involved and see about getting rid of him ASAP. Not sure why it hasn’t been done. Guy in huge house by me put a mock Hilary in a jail cell on his lawn. Maybe he’s be interested in primarying?? 😂

Also, the county GOP platform is lame. Most of the policy seems good, but it’s written in such a boring way. Sad. Does not inspire passion for this country and for getting involved. I’m going to reach out and see about helping with revisions. We need to be for truth, freedom, and justice—and then explain why those principles lead to certain positions. It’s a moral argument. Something the left does (based on emotion and lies) but we are really terrible at.

I looked up my area of Ohio and the republican cities (suburbs) seem to have most or all precincts filled. There are massive vacancies, however, in the more urban areas. So if you live in a big city or inner-ring suburb of a city you can probably have a bigger impact.

The Trumps are definitely lurkers here and on gab. So quick to pick up the good memes.

Actually, most of the energy going into space is for going sideways. It's not that hard to go straight up into space, but you will fall right back down unless you are going fast enough to always fall beyond the horizon.

Because that wouldn't reinforce the victim narrative. 🤷‍♂️

Answer: it was designed to be that way by God who made earth habitable for his creation. Sure that statement takes faith to believe, but probably less faith than any crazy idea someone else can come up with.

I think it's worth noting that a model was created by the author to try to figure out the probability of the Earth maintaining habitability over time. He had to design planets in his model to include various feedback mechanisms to maintain habitability. It seems even less likely that those mechanisms would spontaneously arise on a given planet without the intervention/direction of an intelligent being.

Leftists seem not to understand cause and effect. It's that basic. They always assume that they can magically receive a certain share of last year's private revenue if they just tax it at that rate. The world doesn't work like that on any level. Not in taxation, not in farming yields, not in production of a mine, etc. These people are absolutely ignorant, stupid, and supremely arrogant at the same time.

I have an undergrad degree in aerospace engineering. I took a spacecraft design course and we had an opportunity to tour a facility where satellites were being made. Foreign-born students (Germany and Canada were two, I think) weren't even allowed on the tour.

Quick search reminded me of the name of the related laws: International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

Discriminates against non-US citizen??? For some positions that’s required by the law!! I think that’s true with almost all space contractors and NASA. A notable exception, iirc, is JPL.

Distinct hair, just like Trump. 🤔

The real issue here is that people actually believed you could vote by text. That said, I think this kind of thing has been charged before as it seems to cross the line between free speech and fraud.

The point has never been heard by a court so there is no precedent. That said, it is a political remedy so SCOTUS may stay out of the issue again even if the case is brought.

It's a real shame (and I hope this changes) that the hammer and sickle don't have the same stigma as the swastika does. Wearing the symbol of a murderous and evil ideology with a smile is plain wrong. (Obviously, doing it to mock said ideology is just fine and should be encouraged :D But that's obviously not what's going on here.)

If "democracy dies in darkness" is true, is WaPo trying to accelerate the death of democracy? Sure seems that way.
