Coulda voted Carter back in, for a second go ...

Is this connected with the idea of space-time being "quantised", rather than smoothly continuous ?

Like "snap to grid" in a computer lay-out program ?

I had that too !

Loved the pictures.

I gave it away, many years later, to a couple of little kids (ages about 5 & 7), when I learned that they had no dinosaur books in their home.

I would, if I could.

(Y'd be able to afford some really good drugs, for any problems ...)

When intentional and active cruelty becomes government policy, you get Nauru. It is designed to harm people in a vision shared by Labor and the Coalition.

He does.

(Unfortunately, we're in the cartoon too ...)

Ah well, bless you anyway.

(don't worry, that's an atheist blessing - completely god-free)

At least read Numbers chapter 31.

How the Midianites were dealt with.

(You might get hooked ...)

Godfly @godfly.bsky.social · 23h

No I haven't heard of them.

Please explain ...

Godfly @godfly.bsky.social · 23h

Fair point.

(& Mecca would be right off the scale ...)

And all that without bombs, or tanks, or rocket-propelled grenades.

Even if it isn't precisely historically accurate in every detail (& we can't say that about what's going on now, either), it gives you a good idea of the flavour ...

I'd go to Atheist Hell (and deservedly so), if I deceived a fellow Atheist into believing in God !

But - if you read anywhere from Exodus to Esther in the (so-called) Good Book, you'll get bloodshed and atrocities as much as anything in the recent news.

If I say anything on these matters, I cop flack from one side or another - or both. So I mostly keep quiet.

Y' can learn all about this, from reading the Bible (OT).

It isn't any better in the Quran, either.

Everyone hates everyone, and always has.

Australia's deliberately punitive unemployment "relief" system must end.

JobSeeker: Shame, and now with added AI slop

Shame and harm at every JobSeeker turn – and now added AI slop

The system is so convoluted and stacked against people that even if it worked as intended, it would still be not just harmful, but useless.

People should look at pictures of Britt Ekland, if they're thinking of having anything like this done.

A stunningly beautiful girl, before she had cosmetic surgery.

Very sad.
