What do you call a christian who hates christ?

Evangelical, usually.

If Greta Thunberg is the antichrist and Peter Thiel a true Christian, then I am fully the fuck onboard with the devil’s machinations.

I studied poetry, painting, and music so that my sons could study mathematics and commerce, and their sons could work long hours on the assembly - without having ever studied anything - so that they can consume slop generated by AI that was pushed on everyone by people who studied commerce, created by people who studied mathematics, and trained on the works of those who studied poetry, painting, and music.

I can’t speak to Albania, but Austria has a massive amount of tourism and Schönbrunn Palace is the most visited attraction in the country. The Belvedere palaces are up there, too.

The French got rid of their monarchy, and yet Versailles gets more visitors than Buckingham palace.

Considering he let Commodus succeed him, presumably not much.

The British empire would not have existed if the Romans had not colonised England, so technically this is all Italy’s fault.

Um, why? As a general rule, the point of running a simulation is to find out what happens under some circumstances where you don’t know what happens. If you’re imposing conditions like that, then you aren’t so much running a simulation as you are running some kind of procedural generation.

Scamming a bunch of NFT idiots is an arguably better funding model than promising a bunch of stuff to Kickstarter backers that you aren’t going to deliver on.
