The word “pagan” originally just meant “country dweller”. The beginning of what would be considered Europe would be ancient Greece, so the 8th century, I guess? Something like 1300 years ago.

He was going to use the money to buy more picnic baskets.

Dogs of war and men of hate. With no cause, we don’t discriminate. Discovery is to be disowned. Our currency is flesh and bone.
Hell opened up and put on sale. Gather round and haggle. For hard cash, we will lie and deceive. Even our Masters don’t know the webs we weave.

Wow 😲

Nope, I just checked. Apparently, you can’t say anything good about Linux. Seems like a useless waste of time but, whatever. If I got banned from that site I would consider it a blessing.

I’m not sure if it’s related but there was an annual symposium called “Linux Sucks”. It was a gathering of mostly Linux developers. The idea was to find the ways Linux sucks and develop ideas to fix the suck.

I would like to join this religion. Where can I sign up?

Possibly, I would like to see that sites like this stay alive.

There are some Independent News sources I like: Al Jazeera, the Associated Press, Consortium News, All Sides, Reuters, Truthout, NPR, and Propublica.

I wouldn’t mind paying for quality content, but usually you end up paying for crap and seeing ads too. So now the corporate media is double dipping right out of your wallet. Journalism is dead and we’re probably never getting it back.

The thing is if I see an article that’s blocked by a paywall, I can simply go to another site that has the exact same story for free.

Ga, go outside? No way man 😱

I would rather have ads. If I were to subscribe to every website that asked me to subscribe I would be paying $1,000 a month.

Apparently so

I once asked Copilot why the US supports Israel. I then asked Copilot why the US doesn’t support Palestine. In the first instance it gave me a detailed output. In the second instance and said that it didn’t want to talk about it.

That’s kind of like, “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” It seems to me that when you give a regular person a bunch of money, like winning the lottery, they tend to go kind of nuts with it. So in that way, it seems that money is corrupting them. If you have some kind of ultra-rich person who loves money and power, then they’re already corrupt because of power and money.

Yeah, I like those Sheepdogs. I can’t remember if they were in a union.

Maybe we should give the deer glasses
