(they're awkwardly asking for a poly 'shipping, most probably as a way to express that you guys are too cute :)

Topic of this thread: 1000 formal complaints against Eileen Cannon, as part of a concerted effort.

News about the right:

Trump blasts his trial judges. Then his fans call for violence.

After Trump’s guilty verdict, threats and attempts to dox Trump jurors proliferate online

Death threats to judge and jury: Inside the Maga meltdown after Trump verdict

And in the other cases:

Georgia steps up investigation into threats against Trump grand jurors

Georgia investigates threats against Trump jury (BBC)

E. Jean Carroll testifies she lives in fear of threats from Trump supporters

They say they're Christian, they do things in the name of their Christian belief, they act in accordance to a Christian agenda.

Seems like they're at least as Christian as the next one, if not more.

Could be what you describe. But all those things are also hallmarks of a superstitious mind, especially if under duress or long indoctrination.

Not being allowed to question or reconcile things causes internal stress, not being allowed to express certain emotions and thoughts also adds to it. It doesn't help that many of them are radicalised into driving an agenda.

I'm not expecting to live long enough for that kind of drama, so I simply blocked them. If they're abusive, please report them before blocking, they might be dragging all of Lemmy down and not just this thread.

I agree, but a lot of parties try to co-opt the word to mean other things, which I find less useful.

A quick look at their posting history shows that they're indistinguishably close to a troll. Their response as well.

And how do you know that? Through magic?

If you have issue with me using only 12 - 18 centuries old definitions, I welcome you to have this talk in pre-christian times, although I might be busy then.

I do agree. I was trying to match the poetic language of OP and convey that we have no proof of supernatural or imagined claims, and thus the narrow sliver of naturalistic reality is where we must investigate phenomena. But you know, in a way a symbolic minded troll would understand.

Because magic has in common verbiage typically been used to describe phenomena we don't know the mechanism behind.

And all those other things we do understand the mechanism behind. Along the way to understand how we figured out standards that elevate physical phenomena from imagined ones, and slowly we found that there's very little room left for the unknowable to affect our reality.

So if the word magic is to have any distinct meaning, there's only left "that which isn't real enough to affect us".

But you're of course free to redefine words as feels useful to you. I find flying, quantum teleportation, and cognition magical, but that more describes the wonder and awe of the inner workings of my world, rather than if it's real or not.

Written with ChatGPT no doubt

Maybe, it also has symbolic value, and might demoralise the civilian populace, whose support is crucial to the continued state support.

It still seems a weak move as infrastructure should be a more effective target, but who knows how many layers of distractions and attacks of opportunity really happen in the field?

Nothing to show and a day closer do death, as the song goes.

What I dealt, you must also have smelt

Yes, as the blurb says in the fourth word or so.

Edit: did the math and counted up to the fourth word

You have a powerful sense of smell, I sense a powerful smell, we are not the same.

Lol, indoctrinated much?

We will still expend energy, thus satisfying the gods of thermodynamics.

I am sure, I can download the gif from the source and play it fine.

Good point, I'm editing now

My list is quite different than the ones currently in the thread.

The boring ones:

Creating a vaccine or other cloaking to make humans invisible to ticks & mosquitoes. A separate project would be to do the same for parasites.

Enacting strict pollution/carbon limits and mandatory circular economy everywhere in the world.

Researching, trialing and Enacting a sustainable post-capitalist system everywhere in the world.

Developing solar energy until covering global energy demands, including a power network that can transport energy from the sunny side and/or orbit everywhere.

The slightly more ambitious:

Establish self-sustainable colonies living on off-earth resources, most probably also situated off-earth.

Create a Dyson swarm with enough energy output for in-system exploration, mining, colonisation, and terraforming.

Perfect matter replicators.

I have some other ideas as well, but those would be a start.

I've gotten sets with nigiri and maki in several cities around Japan. I guess my experience and yours differ.
