China is a member of the United Nations and has veto powers… The court was presided by a Ghanian.

As Fredthefishlord said, you don’t need to defend China just because you oppose the US.

And that is a direct response to China ignoring the South China Sea Arbitration.

I hope you get paid for your effort though.

?? The bases were closed in 1991 or given to the Philippines and US troops returned to the Philippines due to China aggressions and talks of giving back some bases to the US for the same reason.

China is a bully country, they have no friends in the area for that reason.

China bullies the Philippines every day, how can you considering having a trading partner like that? Chinese ships are attacking Philippines fishers too.

Life is “simpler” when you realize governments (and hence the State) are just bullies that exercise their power through physical violence or economical violence.

It’s nice seeing the EU taking some positive steps

Yet they helped introducing the super cookies and are trying to end encryption on communications.

Like, we don’t need government.

Welcome to the anarchist. Now you have to pick your flavor! Social Anarcho-syndicalism, Anarcho comunist, anarcho-capitalism, anarcho christianis, and the list goes on!

I found LLMs helpfuls to develop some scripts and answer some simple trivial questions (like how does house property work in China). I could have looked for that in a regular search engine though. But that’s it, I am still happy looking for things myself and investigating since you can’t really trust their answers.

I was just thinking about my moto x play still working. Shame about updates

I felt how you felt when I was moderating a forum, so I can relate. In the end we do things for love but if others profit from our work it’s less fun.

As long as I can visit through old.reddit I will keep visiting, less frequent but still. Thanks to old.lemmy.world I can also browse this place at peace.

I can’t stand the modern design on both sites.

Thunderbird already works.

“Starting over” is how we learnt Windows in the 90’s too

What? God gave humans free will. God didn’t made slavery, didn’t made money, or democracy, didn’t made wars. Basically He created the world as it was during paradise and the rest is our creation.

Although I would argue Angels are like slaves but that’s not exactly the point of this and at least one rebelled so I don’t know to what point they are or were slaves.

The OT is in the Christian Bible because they can’t ignore it, and shouldn’t ignore it. But that doesn’t mean following.

An eye for an eye is incompatible with turning the other cheek.

Slavery is entirely a human creation, neither the Bible nor the Torah tells believers to enslave other people but what is says, all from the OT to the NT, is “give to Caesar what’s his and give to God what’s His”, I know it sucks but it’s not that different from Stoic teachings, that’s why Catholics (and other Christians) belief that suffering makes them closer to God.

Edit.

There is a huge debate in Christendom about the meaning of “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." Some believe the OT rules stand, some believe that they don’t. Catholics are taught the OT like kids learn history in school.
