Okay but why is Ikea monitoring Iran’s nuclear program?

Omg thank you! I was just starting to look for alternatives

Unfortunately OpenKeyChain is now no longer being developed. It still works… for now.

Yuuup. Trump getting elected once was the writing on the wall, I wasn’t going to wait and hope he didn’t manage to return to power. Turns out that was a great decision, the Netherlands are amazing.

Yea yea there’s some schismatics out there that claim to be the “actual” pope but there hasn’t really been an anti-pope since 1449.

“Pastor” is the term for the person that leads a church / church congregation. The general ranking of the hierarchy is:

• Deacon (not yet a priest, are usually all volunteer, but can do some ceremonies)
• Pastor or priest (ordained, usually employed by the Church itself, they’re allowed to hold all ceremonies and conduct mass or church service)
• Bishop (management level, must be 35, must be a priest for 5 years)
• Archbishop (oversee multiple churches and run the archdiocese; there’s 196 in the US. Wyoming has a single archdiocese)
• Cardinal (upper management, only cardinals are allowed to vote on new popes)
• Lastly - Pope. The man at the top, there’s only one.

J.D. Vance is Catholic, and referred to the Pope as a ‘pastor’. This would be like somebody saying “(insert American President) was a good mayor”.

The Nazis started with the disabled, trans, gays, and autistic. The Jews came after the political dissidents.

All of your descriptions are hardly unskilled, those take a good deal of education, practice, and in the case of plumbers legal certification that probably involves an apprenticeship. It’s absolutely a skilled profession.

In my youth I briefly worked for a temporary agency and did a bunch of odd tasks to fill in when needed. The least skilled thing I did was for a newspaper: sliding racks of newspapers from a conveyor belt onto a long table, watching this massive table vibrate the newspapers for a solid couple of minutes (to prevent pages from getting stuck together as the ink dried), then throwing in the day’s collection of laminated ad inserts into each set, and then pushing the boxes onto the next conveyor belt down the line. Training was thirty seconds of instruction.

I would call it ‘labor’ because it doesn’t need any adjectives or qualifiers. It’s just work, somebody laboring at a task.

As somebody that rode a motorcycle for years: you can make eye contact and still be unseen.

He wrote Altair Basic, which is more than just repackaging. I can only assume he tended towards more business related tasks after that though.

He also once thought every home would have a dedicated ISDN line.

And unlike many others, Mr. Gates started the relationship after Mr. Epstein was convicted of sex crimes.

Bill Gates made his acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 when Epstein had been jailed for years for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

They were two of the richest men on Earth, meeting after Epstein had already been convicted for child sex trafficking, very intentionally scratching each other’s back and bolstering each other’s charitable endeavors. The relationship between them — and what compelled both to build one — should be seen not as a lapse in judgment but as an indictment of billionaire philanthropy itself.

There’s plenty more out there if you look.

I just setup vaultwarden a few days ago for a small group, it’s very simple.

Bill Gates became friends with Epstein AFTER he was convicted.

I think they are referring to the movie, which (I believe) did not have a laugh track.

If you can find it there was a DVD release of the tv series where the laugh track could be disabled. It’s so much better.
