Very much a loophole. The Pope was very clear that it was a moral duty to receive the vaccine, it may not have been written into doctrine but he was very clear. So he's not really special? Aside from a very specific instance of issuing doctrine he's just some guy with opinions?

As far as I know the only people ever censured or excommunicated are those who would possibly weaken the Church were they still allowed to associate with it in some way (e.g. high ranking members going to other churches or speaking up directly against the Vatican) so using the fact they didn't censure a huge portion of the members (an action that would hurt the Church by drastically reducing membership) isn't really material

This reply displays a lack of emotional regulation and inability to engage without it being against a strawman, which again, combined with your admitted history, makes a better case for not using marijuana than the content of the post itself

So your claim is that weed makes people liberal? CA, Colorado, and NY were deep blue before the drug's legalization. Yet somehow you're claiming anyone disagreeing with you would take the stance that weed makes people into republicans?

You may not realize it, but your post has made a compelling argument against marijuana usage just not in the way you intended

Just like any substance, such as alcohol or tobacco, the use of marijuana can be beneficial when done by a person with discipline, intelligence, and self-awareness. It can very easily make you into a zombie who is happy accomplishing nothing, but it can have physical health benefits and be a boon to creativity when used correctly.

Based on what I've observed in this world, there is no reason to ever expect the masses to act responsibly without the threat of immediate force. Unless you want to create a police state where all actions are monitored (which has desirable results in some ways but imo the ends don't justify the means and it would probably be in the hands of the malicious anyway), marijuana should be legal and welfare should be depleted. Then, nature will do it's thing to people who self select out of the gene pool

I don't believe the official Magisterial document is required for a teaching to be infallible but understand your point that he was not necessarily making a declaration. Regardless, what you're saying is the head of the faith, when he is directing the faithful, should be ignored when you disagree with him (e.g. when he says it's our moral duty to receive the vaccine)?

Isn't the Church teaching that the Pope is infallible when it comes to issues of morality? So when the Pope says it is the right thing to take in immigrants or our moral duty to get vaccinated then the Church teaching is...?

It's so obvious if you pay a modicum of attention.

But even people who "get it" don't seem to get it. Look at how people constantly say there's a "deep state", and talk about how Joe Biden can't even walk straight, and then turn around and blame Biden for everything going on. It's like most people don't have the capacity to understand basic abstract concepts

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

But what I can't figure out is, what would be the true Christianity? Because there are so many problems with the RCC, but how could God allow heresy to be the word most of the world has heard? It makes me think it's all fake, but in my heart I don't believe that's true. Very difficult to untangle

Gotta leak it so they can't be held liable when it's ingested into LLMs

Some of the best people in cybersecurity are former hackers (or current white hats) who didn't have formal training so they're not necessarily looking to hire "dullards". I do agree with the rest of the assessment

Maybe you'll find this post interesting https://communities.win/c/conspiracy/p/1994fUkKw8/here-are-10-new-christ-the-king-/c The user is told to submit a statement of conspiracy and subsequently apologizes, saying it will be done in the future, but it's never done on the future posts. And yet for an extremely dead board (even compared to here) the posts pull about the same numbers

What's the conspiracy?

It's more than that he spams it on a bunch of subs and aside from consume product which just has many more users they almost always settle around the same number of upvotes.

He told me it's because he has a fanclub

You're giving yourself a lot of credit thinking anyone here is reading besides us. I tried to come to a mutual understanding with you but you actually have revealed yourself to be quite ignorant on a subject I guarantee I know worlds more about considering I worked on AI years ago (and technically still do to a much lesser capacity). Regardless, if we're going to appeal to an audience rather than actually converse, I'd reckon if anyone actually is reading this they're more likely to understand my point of view given the sad number of upvotes on the post despite the "Trump can do no wrong" contingent that still lurks here.

Any reasonable person who understands just how deep, subtle, and insidious the use of AI and similar technology is in shaping our world would find at least some merit in the idea. Hot AI girls shilling for Kamala is just silly in comparison

I actually respect that point of view. I see these types of reporting as outrage bait that also normalize the problem by making them seem much sillier than they are in reality. Hopefully you can understand my point of view as well.

VeilOfReality 2 points ago +2 / -0

AI has been influencing us for years and is going to continue to. If you think it's a big deal that there are fake girls promoting Kamala you don't understand the depths to which this technology can and will be used to manipulate you

A cross .win fanclub that seem to all act at the same time doesn't seem so likely, but this isn't a good faith conversation so shrug

2
VeilOfReality 2 points ago +2 / -0

Yeah, I don't think that's the case

Denigrating pattern recognition on a conspiracy board is a weird method of interaction

How do these things always get a bunch of upvotes on a bunch of different .win sites at once, while showing little to no engagement?
