I think the Catholic Church does Latin because that was the language the first pope (Saul/Paul) was given his revelation in.

Omniscient being(s) would, of course, understand any language.

The weave/astral is manipulated by intelligence/will and the somatic component if any is just to provide caster focus.

I wonder if could be an age component, too? Artificial lighting used to be a lot more yellow. "Party" lighting tends to be more blue.

The article mentions the technique worked on most (differentiated) skin cells they tested on, in addition to working on (undifferentiated) stem cells.

But, there's a lot of steps between this article and any sort of treatment, if I understand correctly.

It might be easier to just edit the gametes before they form a zygote at all. That would also make consent for treatment much clearer.

There are plenty of working-class people that still vote Republican, for a variety or reasons, and I think it is good to try to appeal to them. I don't think Ds should appeal to them by attacking immigrants or trans people or any other marginalized group, but they do need to appeal to them. Working Families Party seems to be carrying some water there.

I do agree that a loud and proud commitment to the truth (and matching rejection of MAGA fables) is a component. But, I think broad, sweeping denigration doesn't help -- individually, in-person, explaining to someone why their stated believe are wrong and objectionable can work (and in fact, seems to work better that just shunning/ostracization). But, calling everyone that voted for any R your low-intelligence or low-morality slur of choice (e.g.: "idiot" or "deplorable") over mass / social media just strengthens the group identity.

Of course, I talk a big game, but I'm not doing anything real. I don't know what I'd do where I'm at; it feels like a lost cause, and I can't stray too far from the house due to familial duties.

I think that's the Dewey decimal system, which inspired the Chewy decimal system, which is the next innovation in grocery store layouts.

I don't know what "going low" means, but if we discard our morals and dehumanize our opponents to get into power, that's still a fascist regime in power.

I do agree that we need candidates that will wield political power to favor the working class and reduce marginalization. Depending on where you are check out Working Families Party or Sunrise Movement.

I have FF installed, and set it as my default. (It's what links from Tusky use, at least.) I just happened to use the OS search bar which always (?) uses the Android browser.

I have UBO installed on FF because it's the only way browsing the web leaves any content visible anymore.

Close enough, then. Not just fascism, Nazis. Even if the Nazis weren't directly in power, it sounds like they are in the causal chain for the timezone being so much different from solar time. Thanks for the clarification / confirmation.

National Socialists or just fascists in general?
