Except there largely is no explanation for these occurances in the Bible either. Almost all interpretations are not given in the text and are highly culture-dependent.

The issue is that the claims of the Bible are insane.

Pretty sure corporations running their own subreddits has been.a thing for awhile now. Fairly certain Costco's subreddit is fully modded by their advertising department. Threads written by employees during COVID were getting nuked constantly.

...the story wasn't buried. It was essentially the only thing US media talked about for an entire month.

My concern is that the left is following the right into mirror world.

This isn't a resurfaced interview though, the full audio containing the unpublished material was released. I believe the text has been online for about a decade at least though.

Is Robin actually Banksy is no longer even the interesting question. It's why the art world has pretended this is some great mystery for about 20 years now.

There is no one person we can ever point to and say without fail they were at these events on these dates where Robert Del Naja or Damien Albarn performed. But clearly the art world is aware that Del Naja and Albarn are the ones funding the creative operation of Banker, which is why every article will make sure to mention one or the other as a wink but never actually pull on that thread. Pretending there is some great unsolveable mystery is probably the only legitimate money fine arts based media congloms are making. It would be a shame to lose that.

Edit: I apologize for the spelling mistakes.

I truly thought shittymorph had come to lemmy.

You are angry and you deserve to be, and you should talk to somebody about it, but not like this.

Honestly, I believe it.

I have worked at an amazon warehouse. Bezos was never referred to as anything but Jeff and every day during the stretches we would be told how impressed Jeff was with how well we were doing.

At Costco, we would have daily meetings. At least twice a month the assistant manager would interject to remind everybody that they had once had lunch with the original CEO. There was also this strange creation myth of how the company was able to dominate the grocery industry within less time than everybody else. It involved the CEO inventing a new way to filet a Chinook salmon or something like that.

Cult behavior is surprisingly strong within corporate America.

If you are over the age of 39 I highly reccomend against this. There is really no possible way yo meet your caloric needs without massively overdosing on salt when depending on ramen and Mac and cheese.

It's honestly probably just as cost effective and slightly better for you to just buy a premade cold sandwich from the nearest bodega for at least one of your meals.

I'm beginning to feel like the Republican plan is use Donald as a distraction and have Biden and Harris taken out in a terrorist attack. Mike Johnson pardons Trump and begins the reign of puppet tyrant.

The people communicating with each other need a way to ensure that they are communicating with who they think they are; and for most people, they are trying to hide what they are discussing, not necessarily who they are discussing it with.

When I first got into open source I downloaded every app I saw that could make me feel like a spy, but I quickly deleted 90% of them because I had no use cases for them. I did find an app I believe based off the signal protocol which had no names or numbers and the only way to initiate contact between two people was by scanning each others qr code, but good luck ever meeting somebody to download the app.

It's been hard enough convincing anybody over signal. Americans are pretty locked into SMS and everybody else seems unwilling to leave WhatsApp.

I haven't had a single complaint in my few months if using it.

That being said, I have 3 people to use it with so on average have only gotten about 20 minutes per week.

I will say that the WiFi calling on their app is far superior to the samsung's drag down buttons.

So a man whose wealth has largely been built off lying to investors and consumers about his products told you that his father only gave him $28,000, and you just believed him?

Your favorite painting was likely commissioned by a rich person, and the person who received credit for it probably had most of the work done by an apprentice of theirs.

Rich people don't like fine art and wine because they are so much more intellectually advanced than we are, they like them because they are a great tool of the wealthy. These people can't tell the difference between a $7 wine and their $25,000 wine in a blind taste test, and if you tell them so, they will smile and nod, because the taste isn't the point.

Your grandmother's knit sweaters would be considered fine art if it could be used to launder money.
