Why this controversy now? Tools like StyleGAN could do this for years already.

To be a little bit more fair, he also put some people he did like in hell.

And the “lost love” does criticize and accuse him a few times.

Not disagreeing.

The description of the first primitive church in Jerusalem is very close to an ideal anarchist commune.

Happiness is connected to contentment, feeling you have enough.
There are people living in their cars who are happy, and elon musk, with all the money in the world, very much doesn’t look like a happy person.

I read a story that once the US air force tried designing a pilot seat based on the average of the measurements of all their pilots and ended with something that was uncomfortable to all of them.

The driving school I went to would fail people that used the “handbrake start” on a hill.

And also fail people that tried to drive backwards by looking back instead of using the mirrors.

Do any exist?

LLMs are just statistical models, all they know is how likely a text fragment is to appear near another text fragment.

If the wings are limbs, shouldn’t insects be considered to have 8-10?

Hello from Mastodon.

All of these “talk” ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.

For the “present” of the rest of the universe it is just empty space, the Solar System is in a bubble of spacetime completely disconnected from the rest and continuously shifted 15 minutes.

It is a plot point in the sci-fi series Perry Rhodan, where they push the whole solar system 15 minutes into the future (iirc) to hide it from the rest of the universe.

As a theology nerd:
All the parts that show that The Path of Christ is sacrificing oneself for the freedom of the “lesser”.
Which I’d say is most of the Bible, much of the early Fathers’ writings, a lot from Martin Luther (I know he also has some really evil stuff, leave those out), most of Bonhoeffer’s, a lot of C. S. Lewis, and certainly a lot more im forgetting.

Brazil certainly should be broken down by state, I imagine the USA as well.

My state in south Brazil has VERY strict controls on animals entering the state so we can use less antibiotics and other stuff.

A curiosity: despite the common interpretation, the intended meaning of the original painting if there was any, is unknown. It was found on a wall of his house after his death.

Yes, it says it’s forever. The Catholic church does have a doctrine of purgatory, but it’s for the flawed faithful.

But it also treats it akin to a spouse that has been continuously cheated on; all his gifts twisted, broken, and trashed; finally leaving the house.

Or self-inflicted by humanity, God going: “do you really, really want to stay apart from the source of life and all good? Then have it your way… ☹️”

Why? We have the gift of life, even as we choose death, we have good things even as we choose to turn away from good, that is a message of pure love, why is it gross?

These are 5000 years old stories written down 3000 years ago, some study, of course study of context is necessary.

I agree with your point on homosexuality, it also requires study, that’s a reason today’s Christianity is so sick and away from the message of love from the Bible.

You read wrong what I wrote, every moment that is NOT death and suffering is a gift from God.

Yes, languages and words and their meanings change with time, both words were once the same.

Job should be read from the perspective that humanity, by choosing to turn away from the source of all life and good, has only death and suffering as its just existence. Every moment that anyone has that is not death and suffering is a gracious gift of love from God. Job even acknowledges that all he had was not his, just loaned from God.
