I'm curious what your definition of religion is?

The problem is that influencers have shilled stupid VPN services so much that even legislatures think they know what they are and think the primary use for the technology is circumvention and privacy.

They have no idea about all the IPsec tunnels providing site-to-site VPNs for all their businesses. Or how VPN protocols like GRE, which while providing no security on their own, are still very useful for tunneling protocols through different network stacks.

29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ 36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Luke 10:29-37 (NIV)

If I exercise today, what will I accomplish? Will I be different tomorrow? Of course the answer is that I won't accomplish much, and I probably won't be noticebly different tomorrow; nobody increases their bench press 25lb after a single workout.

The point is not the results of a single workout, because what is significant is not the effect of a single workout or protest or any other long-term effort you want to examine, it is the cumulative effect of continued work toward a common goal.

The Powell Memoradum was written in 1971. The Heritage foundation began developing project 2025 in early 2022. These are efforts that have been in development for decades and years, respectively with many people working very patiently to see them implemented.

Of course a single protest isn't going to do anything to undo decades of well-orchestrated political and economic changes. If people want to see this changed they can't stop with a single protest. Just like making a new years resolution to go to the gym once isn't going to undo years of neglect to change someone's physical fitness, going to a protest once isn't going to undo the years of damage to the U.S. Government.

That seems like an easy thing until you consider:

1. Federalized National guard troops are under Title 10 Authority.

2. Under Title 10 USC 890 Article 90: Willfully disobeying a lawful order in wartime is punishable with the death penalty.

3. With the executive branch claiming wartime powers and the DoJ willing to pursue any claim they want, they could certainly choose to pursue the maximum punishment to make an example out of someone.

The ranks of the JAG and military judges hasn't been purged yet, so I believe it is very inlikely that a court-marshal would reach this punishment, but these orders aren't something a Soldier can just walk away from without serious legal and financial repurcussions.

What they do in Chicago matters far more than their presence there. Every Soldier needs to recognize their ultimate purpose is to defend the freedom and liberty of their nation's citizens. They must have a line in the sand that they will refuse to cross and are willing to die for, but simply deploying to a city to stand outside a federal building is not that line.

That depends on their definition of software. If software is partly defined as something we can create, and consciousness is something we can't even fully understand, let alone create, then they are correct.

Can anyone tell me what that is on the shelf in the top left of this video? https://youtu.be/OZRG7Og61mw?t=272

Is that some kind of fascist symbol?

I do what I always do: run to the trolley, then jump up and pull the emergency stop because I hate false dilemmas.

If Life is an inalienable right, and food is an undeniable necessity for human life, then it should be self-evident that food is a human right.

I think it is pretty obvious why the government is shut down, it's because Joe Biden signed documents with an Autopen, obviously...

If it is well known that it is illegal for law enforcement officers to wear masks, and there is an armed man wearing a mask who is threatening a group of people, it would be reasonable to assume they are not a law enforcement officer and a shooting could be justified in self-defense.
