Hybrid warfare is such a stupid name

The Bible isn't always meant to be taken literally good luck trying to explain that to a Baptist though. (Jesus almost exclusively spoke in metaphors AKA parables ) The first part of Genesis is describing how early hominids became humans. Personally I like the idea that God is more of a 4th dimensional entity that time does not constrain in any form. Basically a mad scientist using what we call evolution to slowly shape and change his petri dish of a planet.

Rape incest and pedophilia are the immoralities as written out in the Bible. Also lust to an extent.

Also, technically yes, all the nuns who have taken vows of Chastity are married to the church as are the pastors...

Depending on your interpretation of the Bible, you're at least minimum guaranteed marriage to Jesus. Revelations 19

But from my lay perspective there is not a passage in the Bible that says gay sex is worse than eating shellfish so do with that what you will. The thing Jesus actually mentions several times explicitly was adultery aka being unfaithful as in cheating. So as long as its consensual and your not wrecking houses.....

Out of curiosity, I am not familiar with the stack that runs the behind the scenes at all for lemmy. Are you blocking IP ranges or something else?

That's kind of the point of this thread I'm glad we're having a consensus.

You fools! It's still embedded in the ice. It just appears invisible because it's underwater. Don't you guys know how ice works? Sheesh.

fun fact, the US military maintains and employs many aquatic non human mammalians.

But the reason Germany was so full of those scientists is because Germany lacked access to good coal seams and to petroleum reserves and also its massive dye industry from the 1800s. In a similar fashion, Germany learned to use metals like magnesium because they were abundant while pure iron was not

I mean they did have better machining and chemistry infrastructure, but that's more of a result of poor material conditions forcing inovations. Their presses and processes were really good. We did beat them easily with slightly worse technology because we could mass produce it. The US had more crudely tooled industry but we had a lot more industrial capacity.

One of the major looted items after the war from both the US and the Soviets was the shrviving German metallurgists and chemists. Both also looted tooling and machinery.

Operation paperclip was a lot more than rocket scientists

 

Just wondering as an American watching the EU pool resources and mostly work for the same common goals over my lifetime.

To clarify, I'm not saying that this would be a part of the United States of America, but a separate world power.
