Don't you think it's disrespectful to claim that Muslims are more Christians than Christians themselves?

2024-07-27 20:32:02

- reply

Are you telling me that Christianity is about not eating pork, touching one's forehead to the floor when praying, and women covering their hair, and by this standard Muslims are more Christians than Christians themselves?

2024-07-27 18:11:33

- reply

I'm genuinely curious, tell me more. How are Muslims more Christians than Christians themselves?

2024-07-27 17:33:21

- reply

I may have not expressed myself clearly. I meant the opposite: _only_ Christians believe in Jesus. Muslims are therefore not "more Christians than Christians themselves."

2024-07-27 16:32:04

- reply

Yes, and that's what makes them Christians. Other religions may acknowledge Jesus' existence, but they follow a different set of beliefs that has nothing to do with what He taught.
I have not advocated for attacks on Muslims, I am merely pointing at the double standard here.

The problem is, if you don't already have a channel, you're stuck.
Mutiny is automatically transferring all on-chain transactions to the federation, not to the wallet on-chain address. Is it supposed to work that way? This has happened to me twice already.
I now have ~500k stuck in the freedom one federation, and I cannot create a channel because my on-chain balance is too low.
Also, your recent patch doesn't seem to work when you select the option to send to another wallet. The confirm send button is muted and doesn't do anything.

For critical issues requiring important decisions, top politicians will tend to outsource and rely on private consulting firms rather than in-house solutions. Everyone knows the work ethic in the public sector is a major concern, it lacks the efficiency and motivation you'll find in the private sector. Hiring more staff to complete the work, as the article suggests, won't solve the problem, on the contrary!

This article (sorry, in French) confirms your analysis:
Jordan Bardella (RN) will probably become the next PM and will have to deal with the mess created by its predecessors, but will surely fail at it. This is how Macron wants to demystify the RN before the next presidential elections in 2 years.

What's funny (actually, sad) is that in the UK, they recently changed the method for calculating excess deaths, and according to the new formula, we have officially had fewer deaths since the end of the pandemic.
No-one believes that, as the article shows... But its too little, too late from the MSM, to now start talking about it, and probably it has something to do with the coming elections, somehow...

My guess is that it's because signer events are "only" ephemeral events.
Nip44 was the first step at getting us away from nip04, with better crypto algos, and nip17 finally solved the metadata leakage issue that plagued nip04, and made it unsuitable for DMs (privacy concerns)
I agree on the single standard but I haven't taken the time to read the discussions in the different PRs, so there might be a valid reason that I'm not aware of...

Advanced societies may adopt traditional values, with women thoroughly vetting suitors before committing. No sex before marriage!
Also, could women (and their parents) expect from suitors that they commit a certain amount of money as collateral, in case they renege on the contract? For example, sats in a multisig wallet as discussed here:

Simply put, cashu is a protocol for digital cash (ecash). It describes how you can an exchange any asset, e.g. bitcoin, for tokens (minting), and later convert the tokens for the underlying asset (melting)

Is David Friedemann suggesting that it's harmless for 6yo children to consume sexually explicit material on the Internet...? 🤔
He writes:
> The Internet is a wonderful educational tool but a lot of parents assume that their children must be protected, by monitoring or filtering, from seeing too much of it. What psychological damage would be done to a six year old from seeing a picture of two humans engaged in sexual intercourse that was not done, over the centuries, to six year old farm children observing cattle engaged in the same activity for real has never been explained to me.
Is he talking about porn, or is it just me reading too much into it?
