When I am talking with them, I want to feel like I am having a conversation with ChatGPT.

Apparently not quite! It looks like you would mostly be stepping back and forth between UTC and its opposite.

Given that time zones are essentially set by the local research stations, I conclude that Chile and Argentina would win the war because their time zone has the most coastland and so they would have the most penguins on their side.

They would all lose because they stretch all the way down into Antarctica which means that the penguins would be involved...

Hi @cm0002! Out of curiosity, it has been stated by @lengau that you posted this here because Ubuntu's switch to uutils has motivated you to pay more attention to other projects that the FSF is working on. Is this true, or was this just a projection?

(Just to be clear, I don't mind if this is your motivation, since you supply so much of the content here so I am not going to complain, and it is fun to hear about projects I was unaware of anyway! I just don't like seeing people project their own biases onto others.)

Rather than assuming that we know @cm0002's intentions for posting this, why not just ask them?

I think that the implication was that they would have to sell in order to come up with the cash to pay the tax?

Violence.

It's what you get when one or more mommycules and one or more daddycules love each other very much...

Hey, at least you tried! 😉

(And don't think too harshly of the other poster; we were all 14 once, after all!)

EDIT: Hahaha, instant downvote!

For the record, the downvote was from me, and it was because you are being an ass.

All evidence points to a jew who, under roman occupation, organized a political and religious movement around his person with a message so powerful that it immediately started replicating. Otherwise, how can we explain the sudden outflow of missionaries from Galilee ? Whose message were they spreading, which travelled as far as Asia and Ethiopia with relative unity and consistence ? What reason do we have to doubt that a revolutionary mystical prophet such as Jesus existed (they were legion at the time in that region), and why should we subscribe to some more exotic, laborious explaination ?

I think that it is worth noting that the person who did most of the successful evangelizing in the beginning that led to the explosion of the movement was actually Paul, who had his own message that wasn't quite the same as Jesus's apostles--in fact, he started spreading the message without talking to them first because he figured that he already knew everything that he needed to know, which led to conflict that required Acts to work really hard to make it seem like they were all on the same side all along.

But regardless, it is peculiar that people seem to think that starting a widely successful cult is a particularly hard thing to do if the founder has enough charisma (and luck), given that all you have to do is look around at the numerous modern examples. For example, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness was founded in 1966 by a guy banging drums in New York, and has since grown into a huge movement with hundreds of dedicated temples. So it is far more plausible that this is what happened in the case of Christianity than that some other more complicated process synthesizing the existence of a fake founder.

It must be very convenient to be able to declare victory in a discussion without hanging to present an actual argument. 😉
