Actually, the data shows that second - and third generation British Muslims are actually far more extreme in their beliefs than the first generation Muslims who arrived here initially.
I'll see if I can find the study
:( I can't find the study anymore. I assume there have been so many publications about the issue that I'm just not using the correct keywords in my Google search.
He only has to argue the killing if it isn't one of his core duties. All he'd have to do is sign an executive order explaining that the act he's taking is for national security (one of the presidents core duties) and it would be unable to go to court. The president now has ABSOLUTE immunity for upholding his core duties. They would only have to argue the point if it was an official act, and wasn't one of his core duties under the constitution.
It was monotonous and a waste of time, really. Not fun when you could be gathering and killing instead
I agree with you. Crafting and progression is so much better now. The grind was just insane in the earlier alphas before magazines, and some might like that, but personally I found it boring as fuck. I'm not doing MMO levels of grinding in a zombie survival game, it just isn't fun.
If you see it from an outside perspective it's kinda fucking wild that regions/nations are undertaking geoengineering projects that are extreme in scale, and yet we don't even have complete projections/simulations regarding unintended consequences in locations other than these project target. Completely wild.
Not everybody like souls-type games you know lol
I'll be playing almost all of these games day one, pretty hyped for the next couple of years' releases based on the showcase. Best Xbox has looked in a long while.
Super happy to see that the combat in Avowed seems to have been worked on and fixed, it looks fuckin epic now.
Yeah, but I feel hip and cool when I say it now. Its finally cool, I've waited 30 years for this, OKIE DOKIE?!
Thanks for this! I had no idea about the charge bonus being in effect the entire time on routing enemies, that's awesome to know.
Yes it is. Don't lie.
Edit: A transcript of a parliamentary committee hearing regarding Sharia Councils (often called courts, even officially in parliamentary documentation) in the UK here:
Right now, you probably feel like you want to crawl into a hole, shrink to the smallest possible size, and just be swallowed by the earth whole. I get it. Loads of us have been in that exact same spot.
This is the hardest part to hear: there's nothing that can be done about it. I'm sorry :(
The only comfort that can be offered is that, with time, the humiliation dies away, and I promise, in 10 years, this will be a hilarious story. But at this moment, it really will feel like your world is about to implode.
To prevent it, you'd need to stop drinking entirely, but that comes with its own negative social effects. Bonding with friends and colleagues can be more difficult, navigating social events can be tricky, etc.
A teeny tiny silver lining is that you aren't male, I suppose. If you had been, you'd have been catching criminal charges and will have definitely spent the night in a cell.
You have my sympathy because I've been in your position once or twice, and it really isn't pleasant. Time is a healer. Let it do its work, and just try and get through until then.
I'm not sure if this will help, but I hope it does at least a little ❤️
P.S. you should be open and honest with your partner before they find out from other sources about you kissing someone else. It'll be much less hurtful to you both if you to rip the plaster off now.
Yeah I am fucking scared of them. The same way I would be scared of Fundamentalist Christians. Go get yourself a gay lover and walk into Bradford holding their hand.
Good luck. You'll need it.
Tbf, even as a leftist, I now admit that I was wrong about immigration in the past. It was a mistake, and a substantial one at that. Can't fuckin stand Murdoch, and a decade ago his papers harping on about immigration pissed me off. Now it makes sense. Still hate that they demonised Eastern Europeans to accomplish Brexit though. They're so much more closely aligned to our values than Third-Worlders.
As an openly gay man (who can't pass as straight), I know for a fact there are areas of my own country in which I wouldn't be physically safe, and that's absolutely appalling tbh.
I happen to think it is. When Brexit happened, we stopped a lot of immigration from more British-Values-aligned European countries, but the desire of the capitalist class for low skill low wage workers remained, so now we import waaaay more Third-Worlders instead. It was a massive fuck-up in that regard, tbf.
That's the only hope I'm holding onto as well. That if we can make an AI advanced enough, they (scientists) could discover some technology or mechanism that'd allow us to negate, prevent, or reverse some of the worst that is about to happen to us.
All other options are dropping off the table. We are basically relying upon some sort of technological revolution that could help protect us. AI could be just that technology, or I hope so anyway.
Lots of "coulds" and "maybes," of course, but what other option is there when even the scientists have practically given up on preventing disaster? They are: recording the data, producing reports, attempting to make educated guesses of the future, and hoping for the best, because as of right now there is nothing we can do about the path we're on (as a golobal entity). The time for prevention has passed. We're in the era of mitigation. Advancing AI is a risk we have to take I fear.
The reason I want to explain is twofold, I suppose. Firstly, because it really captures/explains what was going on at the time for me, it really links heavily to my behaviour. Secondly, my secret hope is that they may notice this type of behaviour change in current or future students, and put 2-and-2 together. You never know what might save a child, afterall. Or that's my thinking anyway.
Thank you for saying this. I'm going to send it, I think. They'd be shocked at the change, if nothing else! I really respected them underneath all the bravado, I think thats why I feel so much shame.
Hopefully they appreciate it, as you say.
I actually looked for email addresses first as the old website had a list of deputy heads/head of subjects contact details, but all those have been removed, and all I can find is the headmasters email and I never knew the guy. I'm positive that at least some of my old teachers are still teaching there, though.
The letter only contains things that happened within that time frame, though, and only things that linked directly to my behaviour at school. I'm unsure whether to send it or not now :/ lol
Enlightened thinkers? They were slavers and religious nutjobs. Barbarous and genocidal. They wrote a constitution so fucked that it's brought your country to the brink of civil war, having already nearly suffered a coup in 2020.
Lol. Indeed, the greatest country. Must be all that enlightenment.
You ever seen an injured animal lash out? It's kinda like that I think
They should really be teaching about the paganistic rituals and beliefs that Abrahamic religions have usurped for centuries. Christmas? Stolen Yuletide, and before that the Winter Equinox rituals. Easter? Ancient pagan celebrations of the Spring Equinox. Then there's the harvest festivals, also of pagan origin.
It's the same for religions around the world, but the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) have some of the best examples of stolen rituals/festivals/celebrations.
Plenty of humanistic and secular celebrations they could be doing tbh
Oh my dayssss. The delusion on this one.
I have an S90C and the panel is just insanely good. 144hz gaming with Variable Refresh Rate is just amazing. The colours are like no other TV on the market for the price you'd be paying.
Same as you, I was torn between the C3 and the S90C. I went to a shop near me that had both on display, and asked if I could fiddle with them for a while. The S90C was just simply better. Better colours, better brightness, better performance in a lit area, better picture quality in both standard and high definition.
I got the S90C, and I'll never look back. When I ordered it, though, I fretted for days on whether I made the right decision... Once I set it up and opened Red Dead Redemption 2, I knew right then I'd made the correct choice.
Uh-oh, someone only read a small piece of the abstract that affirmed their bias, and forgot that the rest may not agree with that bias 🫣
"While accounting for key environmental factors, we demonstrate that genetic variance can be detected for dog personality traits assessed using questionnaire data. We identified substantial genetic variance for several traits, including fetching tendency and fear of loud noises, while other traits revealed negligibly small heritabilities."
"Variation in a few functional candidate genes (e.g., DRD4, TH, OXTR, SLC6A) has been shown to be associated with behavior in dogs (Våge et al. 2010; Kubinyi et al. 2012; Wan et al. 2013; Kis et al. 2014)"
"A model of polygenic inheritance with small effect sizes is consistent with most traits investigated in this study. Chromosomal regions associated with some traits were suggested by genomic analyses"
There you go, I pulled the important bits for you.
Ok. It's a legit a bop
This is not bad at all
