Truly idiotic.
>lion, wings of eagle
This is done, over. This is from a list of four empires that would be one after another--and the fourth (the Roman empire) was already in existence during the days of Christ. The lion with eagle wings was the first in that list.
I love Christ, but, God, I hate both facebook conservatives (i.e. churches) and the newer only-anti-current-gov't-of-Israel Gab conservatives (i.e. churches) they're shifting into.
This is like going "Apple? The company? Getting a female CEO, you say? She's from their marketing *b r a n c h*? Uh wuh oh. The Bible has a woman eating an *a p pl e.* Genesis is finally happening."
Someone irl today quoted scripture
>*Not* important part
Neither the chapter number nor the verse number named is where the passage they intended to quote is. (Wouldn't fault them on that--if it were not that the error in the next part--the important part--stemmed from the same skill issue.)
>Important part
They completely twisted the passage because they replaced the subject--not the context, not the topic, the subject, as in the "Billy" in "Billy bounced the ball." They switched in someone else with their quote.
The correct subject is on the page, literally spelled out. Any version, always there.
The present-on-the-page passage directly contradicts the point they were asserting.
But don't be fooled. Don't forget. The passage in their head is a pillar, holding the weight of a view, so it holds more weight.
Venting here that I wish people would slow down, trace what they are reading--let alone what they are saying after the fact (if they have read at all).
Correct premises are more important than expedient, shining oath conclusions.
Measure twice, cut once. Similar skill.

NHS Radiology is stuck in a viscous cycle where a failure to recruit radiologists results in a capacity problem, which means departments have to outsource work, cutting the budge that could be spent on recruiting radiologists, while also 'encouraging' radiologists int private practice; you might call this stealth privatisation?
once again the health service has been pushed into false economies by the Tory engineered crisis that Labour needs to speedily reverse!

Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
- Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
- Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
- Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
- Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
- Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
- Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
- Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
- Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
- Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
- Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
- Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
- Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
- Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
- Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
- Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
- Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
- Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
- Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
- Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
- Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
- Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
- Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
- Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
- Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
- Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
- Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
- Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
- Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
- Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
- Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

@benda oh duh, I completely forgot I could set it up to use Tor.
I had considered reaching out, it's just a couple guys running that project, and tbh they should know that blocking data center IPs is a bad call since their (relatively) light distro with compositing disabled is a great choice for running on headless desktop VMs with no GPU.
the main reason I defaulted to 'wait and see' is mostly just, I'm tired and my task list is 20 miles long 😩
#fedihelp time, although this is a small and simple (i hope) #linux question...
in redirecting all output of a command, standard output and standard error, it seems the correct syntax is:
some_script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
except one website I am reading put >& and then later put &> and so I tried and it seems both work exactly the same...
am i wrong that they are both working? if i am not wrong, how do they both work? I feel like &> would background "some_script.sh" while its standard output is going to bitbucket, and then... i don't even know.
Sometimes those things are POSIX bourne shell (sh) versus bash.
Bash has lots of little extra things and shorthands.
sh should really be the baseline, but with linux's popularity sometimes
bash becomes the baseline. Bash is a superset.
I prefer the longer version that you show first because it will
work on any unix bourne like shell.

I will start by explaining why the defeat of the West does not in itself surprise me, and why indeed I have anticipated it, and then I’ll try to say something about the areas where I am less certain and to formulate a few hypotheses. But please excuse my lack of certainty at this point. To offer any certainty at this point about what is going to happen would be enormously presumptuous, even a sign of insanity.

Je vais d’abord rapidement rappeler les thèses de mon livre qui m'ont donné le plaisir, je dois l'avouer, d'une prédiction réalisée avec une vitesse folle. Pour voir se réaliser ma prédiction sur l’effondrement du système soviétique, j'ai quand même dû attendre 15 ans. Dans le cas de la défaite militaire et économique des États-Unis, de l'Europe et de l'Ukraine face à la Russie, je n'ai eu à attendre qu’un an.

C'est exactement comme ça que je te vois là en ce moment, donc j'arrête de discuter avec toi ou quoi ?
en effet tu ne sembles pas voir qu il y a un gros problème à partager les idées rances de l extrême droite et complaisante avec celle ci.
Oui je sais, si Le Pen dit "il fait beau" et que je constate que le soleil brille, je dois absolument affirmer qu'il pleut pour éviter le déshonneur par association. Dans le même ordre d'idées, les humains sont des animaux mammifères sexués, il existe exactement deux sexes et pas un de plus, puisque des gens d'extrême-droite le disent c'est donc que je suis d'extrême-droite. De même, le jour où Le Pen aura l'idée de dire "il ne faut pas sauter par la fenêtre c'est très dangereux", tu te mettras à réfléchir à comment sauter par la fenêtre en défiant la gravité.

Feeling good about the chapter I just wrote for “the novel I’m not allowed to talk about until it’s done” — I’ve been writing so much and pulling all the threads of the story together: it feels like maybe I really can complete this story.
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by all the text. But right now I can see a light glinting at the end of the tunnel.
I imagine listening to the whole book and liking it. Thinking “that was a good story.”

Unknown parent • • •Back then it was stuff like what they're doing here that kept me away. As much as I would look, I knew they were clueless. I'd search and find them making out a verse to be about the US just for mentioning an eagle 🙄
Especially frustrating was when it would be a prophecy that then is interpreted, laid out, by the prophet in the same writing that the prophecy is given. But these people would have a separate interpretation than the explanation literally provided.
For a few years, I threw my hands up and decided no one knew foundational pieces to make sense of it all since they couldn't even keep to the explicit answers provided for some prophecies.
I do keep in mind--when dealing with someone, whether in regard to religion or to politics--that I had to have my hand held. Or even my ankles cut lol.
And that I'm not 100% memorized, connecting, understanding, etc.
But I also keep in mind that I was walking (stumbling, putting my hands out) at all, rather than declaring I'm already there and--worse, as is the case they're doing--changing where "there" even is whenever the wind changes, ignoring the explicit road sign. "It says Babylon and then three other empires, but it's secretly about America now."
