They believe in the same god, son and the holy spirit, but believe they are separate-ish, yes.

I think that’s just a case of degrees of “how we see the same god,” so i’d call that a pretty weak argument, honestly.

Yeah, I was a planned day 1 buy for Sots, but got held up and didn’t buy it early. By the time I went to get it, the blood red reviews had already washed in.

Ill be waiting on this one.

Scientology has grotesque space aliens flying across the universe in jumbo jet shaped space craft and dumping millions of souls into volcanoes that later attach to your soul and hinder your life.

Mormons have dumb stories about land bridges and magic dudes doing extra magic to hide secret texts for bigamists to find.

I think Scientology has got this one.

Mormons are absolutely Christian. They believe in christian god, christ as savior, etc. They simply have an extra, more modern prophet who “discovered” more scripture.

This is exactly my overall point. Protestants/Catholics/Mormons all believe Christ is mankinds savior. Those are all Christians. As long as they have that central tenant, that’s the only relevant aspect to being classed under that label.

Jews/Muslims do not, and therefore are not Christians. That doesnt make sense with Catholics/Mormons, since Christ is the central element of both faiths. The push to label them as non Christian is the hateful aspect. It excludes on arbitrary lines in order to delegitimize what is often more “caring/kind/etc” teachings than a lot of the modern evangelical/Protestant faiths.

Hes not made of velour and goose-down. I’m sure hell be fine in a vance off.

The above doesn’t track. Every sect of Christianity thinks its the “true” sect, but you aren’t likely to see a Methodist claim an Baptist isn’t Christian. They just claim they aren’t following god correctly.

Attempting to remove catholics or even mormons from being “Christian” at all is just a push to de-legitimize them as religions entirely. It’s not reasonable, it’s hateful by design, an intentional “othering.”

Its went from 37% electrification to 79%, with 90% of power from renewables, and have the goal of hitting 100% electrification by 2030, with 100% renewables by 2035. They have the biggest wind farm in Africa, and are the one of the biggest importers of solar for off grid power in the world.

That is intense, and stunning.

This was shown before the sentencing. The judge referenced it explicitly in their sentencing as a reason to apply leniency.

From a comment above:

Here’s what the judge had to say:

“I loved that AI, and thank you for that. As angry as you are, and as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness, and I know Mr. Horcasitas could appreciate it, but so did I,” Lang said immediately before sentencing Horcasitas. “I love the beauty in what Christopher, and I call him Christopher—I always call people by their last names, it’s a formality of the court—but I feel like calling him Christopher as we’ve gotten to know him today. I feel that that was genuine, because obviously the forgiveness of Mr. Horcasitas reflects the character I heard about today. But it also says something about the family, because you told me how angry you were, and you demanded the maximum sentence. And even though that’s what you wanted, you allowed Chris to speak from his heart as you saw it. I didn’t hear him asking for the maximum sentence.”

They mention his tariffs, but it’s also a bigger issue that has to do with the laws of physics hitting economics.

Shes had sharp quips about Dave over the years, and the timelines work out.

She dated Ryan Reynolds for years too. She clealry has a thing for comedians.

D works well. Being dead puts you in a decent “no one to fool with” category.

Fucker cant even do a prat fall at this point.

There is no form factor of power generation that could match nuclear on something as “small” and dense as an aircraft carrier.

Solar is a no go due to just surface area and the challenges of salt water. The only consistent things left are petrol and nuclear, and of the two, nuclear is better in every way but cost.

It is wacky that “hot rock make steam. Steam makes turbine go” is how like 95% of all civilization exists, but man when we stumbled on a winner in the 1800s, we just went all in on it.

100% steam. Steam makes the electricity, locomotion, desalination and the plane catapults go on that class of carrier. The reactors and salt water make the various types of steam used in the various systems.

Limitless water is a neat hack when you couple it with limitless heat.

That carrier is using steam powered propellers. Luckily the steam is “pushed” by a couple of large nuclear reactors, so it’s got plenty of juice.

He lost to a liberal canidate named Bruce. Poilievre and Carney ran in ridings in different providences, but the ridings are geographicly right next to each other. Poilievre lost for the first time in 20 years, and Carney was elected as MP for his first time ever.

Hilariously, someone shouted out “Bruce!” during Carneys acceptance speech. Carney said he was looking forward to working with Bruce. Its being read as shade, since thats a gracious thing you say about an opponent you still have to work with, but in Poilievre case, thats not a problem Carney has.

Tourists have to buy day passes or a discovery pass in Washington. Day passes are $11.50/day. They are already in general being charged way more than people that go to the parks year round with the $35 annual pass. This is comparable, but actually higher, than what hawaii charges tourists.

Hawaii’s parks are visited way more by tourists than Washingtons parks. You would have to make the tourist pass something ridiculous to cover the shortfall, which would price out tourists, meaning no income for the park, meaning parks destroyed by Washingtonians.

$35/yr is a reasonable resident cost. $11/day is a reasonable tourist cost. Seems like Washington has made reasonable choices for this that reflect the states needs.

I’d also prefer this to be rolled into an income tax, but Washington doesn’t have one. The state only has a regressive sales taxes, one that has an outsized impact on our poorest citizens.

By making this a “fee for use,” it at least minimizes the damage to the poor who can’t access the parks at all.

Ha, sense of entitlement eh? That’s a quick pivot away from your weak point about “bikes are dangerous because of rare mountain lion attacks” i guess. Now trying to call me abelist and classist as a random jab? Sure thing, pal.

The common is the commons and has to be paid for. Without funding the commons falls to “the tragedy of the commons,” where the common good is destroyed by overuse and neglect. Washington has opted to protect the parks with a minimal, once a year fee to the people doing the most damage to the commons, drivers, that you are complaining about.

So you think the people using a common good and doing the most damage to it should not pay for that use? Why should the poor people without cars, the people who aren’t able to bike or drive, pay for your visit?

Neat article. Can you link me to one about the tens of thousands of mountain bikers in Washington that were not chased by cougars?

All outdoor activities in nature carry risk, some more than others. By far the most dangerous thing for cyclists is motorists, not wildlife. If you can safely navigate the roads to get to a park, your other risks are minimal in comparison.

Super fun and challenging, most likely. Some of the roads are likely difficult on a bike.Lots of other state parks that are accessible by bike besides those two. Heres a great list that includes a bunch.

Paying in $35/yr so the state parks can be maintained and improved is a very reasonable cost, especially with all the damage people and cars do to them.
