It’s the Olympia SM4 day!

I’d love to find this kind of things 😅

Yes! Distinctive and distinguished :-)

Weapon of ass destruction

There are Warhammer books?

I knew of the existence of the wargame, but this kind of games doesn’t interest me, so I never looked further, even if the universe seemed cool.

According to the length and complexity of the document, I use either Markdown, groff+mom or LaTeX. But to be honest, I don’t have a lot of occasions to use LaTeX anymore…

There was no takeover of Christianity in Rome. There was a takeover of Rome in Christianity. Rome imposed creeds, hierarchies, even councils to the church before the conversion of the emperors and the official christianization of the Empire because the Empire wanted to control the new faith. After that there was an imperial church and a lot of “heresies”, which were fought by the imperial church. One of the decisions of Julian was to cancel the obligation for Christians to subscribe to the imperial christian creed, freeing in fact Christianity.

And this should be a lesson of how the State and the religions should be separated, for the good of the State and of the religions themselves. As a Christian, I prefer Julian over Constantine.

Meanwhile, only 13% of Russians go to church, mosque, etc. regularly. Religion is not their reason to go there.

I saw a guy dressed as a moose carrying another guy who looked stoned get almost run over by a ship.

I don’t feel a sense of accomplishment, just relief.

That’s why you make children. So you have an excuse to desguise yourself!

You grew up in a church or a few churches. There’s no such thing as “the” church… In a lot of churches, morality is kind of a very secondary thing for example, and the idea that someone has to be pure is totally foreign.

You obviously had a very bad experience growing up, and there are a lot of very fucked up communities, so it’s not surprising. But saying “the Christians are…” is no different than saying “the people engaged in a political party are…” without distinguishing between Democrats, Republicans and third parties. You can’t say for example that DSA is a fascist party because the Republicans are.

Most of them — us — aren’t. But you never hear of them, as they are not external.

No group is perfect. No human is.

There’s no critical success for ability tests in DnD either.

As a very liberal and active European Protestant, I would add that, unfortunately, American evangelicalism exerts a strong influence on European Protestantism. The Lutheran Church of Latvia, for example, decided a few years ago to stop ordaining women pastors. In my (French) church, new pastors are on average more conservative than their predecessors (but the remaining liberal pastors are even more so than their predecessors). Evangelicals have the resources and use them extensively; they are winning the cultural battle, unfortunately. Protestant churches are still resisting, but we will have to learn to make ourselves heard if we don’t want sectarianism to set us back a century or two.

You generally can’t go wrong with a Hermes, but I have a soft spot for the Adler Contessa de Luxe. Beautiful, snappy, with a very elegant typeface.

Me too!

No, but he explained that the problem would have been easier to solve on Linux.

Not sure it would have been for a normal computer user though; I for one know how to SSH on my homeserver, but I don’t know how to do that on my desktop Linux.
