“bringing home troops stationed in AliBaba” I’m dead

Singapore time 😈

As long as Christians should share their faith and create new disciples, that’s fine. Other commenters seemed to say that we shouldn’t, though. And your comment did come across as “look at me, I can meet your atheistic standard, too!”

Good works apart from faith don’t make you saved.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

It’s not being a good person that saves you.

Acts 16:31

And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Matthew 7:22-23

On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

James 2:18-22

But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;

What love is it to let someone wander into Hell? That’s not loving at all! Yes, we should be good people and do good and show our faith by it, and share our faith in a calm and respectful manner- not soapboxing on a street. But we should still share our faith.

Matthew 28:18-20

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Stop trying to pander your beliefs towards atheists and unbelievers who want nothing to do with God. They aren’t our authority

The most they can do is add a load of more users to the fediverse then take them away again. For them to successfully EEE the fediverse, it would require convincing existing fediverse users to switch to threads. I cannot see that happening on here on any noticeable scale.

If anything, Bluesky is the bigger threat as it touts itself as “decentralised” in order to gain users who would have otherwise gone to Mastodon, then easily pull the plug.

It’s completely vile.

Not just working, but earning at least 29,000.

I believe the rule can be combined with the spouse’s income, but the spouse needs the visa to get a job in the first place to meet the requirement.

Oh okay

What? So marrying a foreigner is a “trophy spouse”? Isn’t saying such a thing literally racism?

This isn’t a “brexit rule” and it’s disgusting for The Guardian to frame it that way as using someone’s suffering to make a point about Brexit.

I know this could be a “if we were still in the EU this wouldn’t happen” thing, or dismissed as another “brexit and it’s consequences” article, but this shouldn’t happen at all- EU citizen or non EU citizen. The fact the guy is an EU citizen is entirely irrelevant.

Having a salary requirement on a spouse visa is extremely extremely idiotic, stupid, disgusting and an abuse of human rights, specifically article 8. Apparently even Japan is less strict for foreign spouses- and that country is notoriously difficult to migrate to.

I do not know how more people aren’t talking about this. It’s essentially a punishment for daring to fall in love with someone who isn’t British/Irish

“Love is love” until you dare fall in love with someone of the wrong nationality, it seems.

Lol

What even is Web 3.0? I hear it thrown about a lot and something about blockchain which is good for storing cryptocurrencies and nfts and not much else. Maybe a blockchain could be used to decentralise DNS? Or maybe not. Don’t even know if we’d explicitly need that (although having a more tangible ownership of domain names would be cool)

How do you store and update an HTML page on a Blockchain? And if you could, why? Would it even be efficient causing everyone to update a ledger when you fix a typo?

It sounds like the type of thing made up by LinkedIn lunatics who have no idea what they’re talking about

Googled it:

Isn’t that just the indieweb and fedi movement? Just get a raspberry pi, plug it into your router and spin up a wordpress instance. Or another fediverse solution to your liking.

Tweet in question.

I think there are more serious things to write about the trump administration than a graphic design gaff

Fake: Girl is interested in anon

Gay: Anon isn’t interested in girl

It was made by two software engineers as a joke parodying cryptocurrencies in 2013. One of them called musk a self-absorbed grifter.

She has an Instagram page.

I think the term “Doge” existed separately to the picture of Kabosu, but then was attached to it and popularised.

Granted, the intention of the creator of dogecoin was likely related to the meme anyway. Like a lot of people for example would write something like “Abide With Me piano cover” or “Danny Boy piano cover” when the tune to those songs are Eventide and Londonderry Air. Abide With Me and Danny Boy are texts which quickly got associated with the tune.
