I remember trying to reply to a jira ticket and the whole screen froze up for a few seconds and I was given a big prompt saying “Chat to Rovo AI!” Like no, I don’t want to chat to an AI, I want to chat to this eejit who raised a ticket
Because then there’s less pressure for the state to pay proper welfare. I recently learned that the United States doesn’t have guaranteed maternity leave! “Oh, we don’t do maternity leave, just have an abortion” the illusion of choice in a world ruled by billionaires!
Yes, so we should murder people who don’t have finances! More money for the billionaires, eh?

I know salvation army is often avoided. They’ve always seemed a bit odd to me. They attempt to create their own denomination or something but don’t practice the sacraments? So they don’t really have a real church but they aren’t heretical either. They’re in a weird limbo.
I’m interested to hear more about the American far right magnates. Non-churchgoers tend to have a higher chance of being far right.

13·15 days agoThis is why I am a (constitutional) monarchist. I trust a nepobaby over someone who lied, deceived and cheated to the top.
Like all things, democracy is a game. You can cheat at that game.
Are you a Christian? Do you have any Christian background? Did you witness Christians only helping other Christians? I and my fellow congregants have given to charity that doesn’t discriminate, such as foodbanks, foreign aid, etc. On occasions we have donated to a Church, but that was mainly for building maintenance repairs - it’s actually very pricey to maintain an old listed building. There was a parish which had roof issues and a potential risk of falling masonry. It was on a backlog to repair, not necessarily an imminent threat unless something crumbles off and falls. So to deal with it, they installed a discreet grating above all entrances into the Church for health and safety until they can actually get around to fixing the roof. Unfortunately, the council got upset that they fitted this discreet grating on a listed building, made them remove it which meant they had to last minute before the harvest service, ask for donations to fix the roof instead of their usual collection for a food bank. This church building is also open during the week and has a small little museum exhibit in one of the transepts, so it does lend it’s heritage quite well to everyone in the community whether or not they are believers.
Sounds like we’re just unproductively strawmanning here with no real proof

Christian philanthropy accounted for 70% of all American philanthropy in 2022 at $300 billion total. Christians also out-gave the US Government in addressing global poverty.



Is that not LFS?
