I'm impressed with the robustness of the mastodon-fediverse so far, under extreme duress.

kudos to the sysadmins

Child sex predators don't hang out on Twitter, they become teachers. Macron should know this.

You really don't need to have a take on everything.

i followed too many people the timeline is too fast

@lack the #rationalist #scientific mind should accept, with #Nietzchean #Buddhist -like resignation, that we live in a Lawful Neutral universe that is sometimes indifferent to human well-being. Sometimes the hurricane wins. Sometimes the virus wins. Doesn’t conclusively dis-prove that Someone invented hydrogen and oxygen all those trillions of years ago.

@b_chocolatey I don't usually use the "problem of evil" argument, but when I do it's not me saying "I think God exists and is evil so I don't want it to exist", but more of a "If I temporarily assume that God exists for the sake of argument, I find this contradiction which suggests the initial idea (that a loving and powerful God exists) is incorrect".

I think this is a common misunderstanding of how the argument is supposed to work, made worse by atheists who maybe don't explain it well :)

@lack Christian god: “You are evil, and you deserve to die.” Atheist: “No, -you- are evil and I think you don’t exist.”

@lack I also think hard-atheist materialism, taken by itself without anti-Christian miso-theism, is a poorly thought out position. Either you accept the possibility of reincarnation or an afterlife of some sort, that just means you are re-inventing paganism… or, you deny the possibility of an afterlife or a soul, which is a difficult position to prove. Face it: consciousness is a hard problem, every AI developer or a sci-fi author knows that!

@me the remark about human insignificance, alluding to the Copernican principle, doesn’t disprove the existence of a personal god. Even Jesus said “are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And yet not one of them falls to the ground without your father knowing about it” - suggesting that the Copernican implications had already been considered, and considered refuted, centuries before Copernicus.

@scottcohn I’m gonna pay #Elon eight bucks just for driving traffic to the #fediverse. This is awesome.

Oh i realise a better #introduction is to list topics in which I’m interested. Like this?

#introduction

I'm a journalist who covers hate and extremism in the US at a publication I launched called The Informant. I also freelance here and there.

I began my career almost 20 years ago at a local newspaper in Arizona and later spent some time working on staff at Talking Points Memo and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

I enjoy art and graffiti as well as photography. I was recently diagnosed with #LongCovid, which has greatly reduced my capacity to work. But I'm still here.

Quick #introduction; I'm Andrew. I've been in the industry for a little over a decade. Bounced around a lot of places, but most recently shipped Halo Infinite with @tedajax. Now I'm making something secret with a bunch of Canadians.

I love building game and #gameplay systems and working closely with Artists and Designers to improve workflows. I've worked in a lot of engines, but most frequently #unity and #UE4 / #UE5.

Please let me introduce myself.

My name is Humpty.

#introduction

Oh hey guess I'll do an #introduction since that seems to be the thing to do.

Hey, I'm Nate! 👋 A queer, trans, likely neurodivergent, librarian & all-around geek.

I am an infrequent social media-er -- I usually lurk and use it as a read-only entertainment & news source. So once the novelty wears off I probably won't be tooting much.

Some things I'm interested in, in no particular order: #boardgames #videogames #books #makerspace #3dprinting #dogs #fiberarts #crafts #crossstitch #libraries

Das gestern schon mal vorab gepostete Rezept für vegane #Alblinsen Pastetchen in #Tomatensoße ist soweit fertig veröffentlicht. Ich habe noch schnell eine passende Form zum Ausstechen des Blätterteiges konstruiert, die sich die Nerds unter Euch auf dem #3DDrucker ausdrucken können.

Da das Rezept von einem Quiche Rezept abgekupfert wurde, ist es natürlich auch möglich, das ganze in profanen Quiche oder sonstwelchen Formen nachzubacken. In dem Fall würde ich bei den gehackten Tomaten nachjustieren.

Domains like .eth or .sol are pretty cool!

So, today I'm going to create my own domain name service w/ @_buildspace for fun ✨.

The plan is to:

✍️ write my own custom smart contract
💰 build a web app that lets users mint domains
🚀 deploy it to Polygon

Let's do this!
