For programming?!

I think they're less likely to be racist; OTOH what in the US qualifies as "left wing" would be right of center in the rest of the world.

“Lone wolf” attacks will not work

And also won't happen. In the US all the "patriots" who have guns to "fight the tyranny" actually want their guns to kill the dark skinned people they don't like.

I'd bet the percentages are the same all over the world where the right has won and is doing similar atrocities.

In Argentina the vote is mandatory and you only need to be a citizen and have a valid national ID to vote (and we vote on Sundays). The percentage of non-voters is around 20-30% every election.

We are legion. Argentina is going the same route.

I want to believe that, unless you're financially dependent, you went fully No Contact.

To avoid legitimizing crypto scams?

"Bye" is a simple word, I'm surprised you don't know its meaning.

Well, if nonsense doesn't give you pause, I don't have much to add.

Bye.

The first doesn’t give me pause because it’s pretty engrained into virtually all of Western society.

It doesn't mean that it isn't nonsense.

The second… well that’s sort of the whole point of Catholic communion, isn’t it?

Not at all. The transubstantiation is supposed to turn the wine and bread into the blood and flesh of Christ, "really and truly", in spite of the "accidents" (i.e. the material reality of the wine and bread), and that by ingesting them they receive "the present of Christ's sacrifice". They don't "eat sins"; they accept the sacrifice that supposedly delivers them from sin.

Of course, I think that all of that is nonsense, but that's my opinion of all religious beliefs. I only know a little bit about the Eucharist because I live in a Catholic country.

And the notion of sin, or of eating said sin, didn't give you pause?

Curious.

Damn, we're refining Fahrenheit 451's "Families" already.
