You're right. The sign basicly means "everybody has to turn left here, expect buses"

As a gamer: For only online communitys i'd say MMO Guilds are still a thing and can be a gateway into existing friendsgroups. VR Chat was doing ok in that regard too a few years back, no idea where they stand now. A guy i know spends most of his evenings there and has had several real live meetups with a group thad bonded there. A bit niche maybe. I have had regular contacts that build trough gaming and people inviting me into their discord servers (yes, yes, i know...), which lead to me joining some online Pen and Paper groups that often lead to releative good ways of finding cool people, because you tend to learn a lot about them when doing pen and paper.

If you're not into online gaming but are ok with board games, there are several open meetups, at least in my area.

And finaly, local communitys are a thing. We have groups here that meet regulary and go pick up trash in the forest, for example. Or abowling, art or what ever club.

I don't save any memes. But this one... this one i saved.

it can go to the moon pretty quick.

I see what you did there.

Yeah, i looked up before i saw your comment and came to the same conclusion. It discredits Futurism quite a bit in my eyes.

It's why most Christians around the world don't circumcise for example, because Jesus fulfilled the law and abolished it.

The reason why most christians don't follow jewish law is that Paul wasn't fond of it. His interpretation won against other branches (including that of John, Jesus literal brother), hence the laws were abandoned for gentiles.

Nobodsy knows what the fuck Jesus might have actualy taught, but the author of Matthew is quite clear about it:

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:17-19)

Several places report 6.4 Billon Gallons per year by Google alone in 2023. Even if we assume this has icreased across all companies, the 163 Billion Gallons per year seems overblown by quite a bit.

I hate it when people lie to make a point that would have stood well on it's own without lying. Even an estimated 13 Billion Gallons per company and year (so assuming it doubled since 2023) is fuckton of water.

Same :(

True, but these is a difference between a click baity title and ripping a quote out of context and pretending somebody holds the opposite possition as they have in reality.

Well yes, but i always tweeked my windows to the point of breaking. Now i use mint and have reached the point where i love how it looks, everything works and i will likley sit with its current form for some years, maybe untill my kids are older and i have more time to waste again.

Or both. We could do both.
