Is it safe to say then, that the climate change emergency, was science fiction? And that the scientists used biased models in their data sets?

...Or was this a political lever the whole time?

WHO LIED TO US..???? And WHY..??

To be clear.
You now feel this is a legitimate question to be asked because a COMPUTER PROGRAMMER has shifted their outlook on man's resilience to withstand climate change increase.
At no point does he say it was a hoax or it's not happenning; nor does he say it doesn't deserve attention.

It's not safe to say; it's stupid to say. BOTH of those things are stupid to say. Actually, all 3 of those things are stupid to say.

Not safe.

Dumb.

People will pay the same, or less, than they are paying for it now, in the form of copays, taxes and foregone wages. Duh!

Your statement is misleading.

Approximately twenty-seven million Americans do not have health insurance, typically because their employment does not provide coverage or the premiums are unaffordable, even with the ACA. Under universal health care systems, individuals contribute funding through taxation. Since uninsured populations often have lower incomes, a greater share of the financial responsibility may shift to higher income groups. Notably, this impact is not confined to the highest earners but can extend to most Americans who pay taxes.

Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, but retailers have already rolled out their Christmas campaigns — hoping to capture more shoppers and a few more dollars. So, I feel justified in drawing from a Christmas classic as we reflect on this week’s elections and what they might reveal about the future.

Pundits are already declaring the handwriting is on the wall for Republicans heading into next year’s midterms, as Democrats and socialists celebrated victories in several off-year races. Many on the Right are asking, “What went wrong?” But perhaps a more important question is, “What does it mean?”

In A Christmas Carol, Ebenezer Scrooge meets the final spirit — the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come — and is terrified by the vision of his own lonely death. Realizing the horror of what he’s seeing, he pleads with the Spirit for hope as he asks the question that pierces through time:

“Are these the shadows of things that Will be, or are they shadows of things that May be only?”

Continued below.

Are the 2025 elections a shadows of things to come?

Tuesday s election results may be shadows of things to come, but they don t have to be

I think the now dominant Sanders/AOC/Mamdani/OccupyWashington wing of the Democratic Party will either destroy that party or turn it into a successful revolutionary party. They WILL turn it into a revolutionary party, but whether it is a powerless fringe party or an election winning party is the open question.

The Republicans are in abysmal shape, working at grasping a defeat out of the jaws of victory.

It’s really time for new parties in America.

Enhanced ACA premium tax credits were introduced during COVID in 2021, and those credits are set to expire on December 31, 2025. Democrats say they won't sign anything that doesn't include an extension of the credits and Republicans say they won't entertain extending the credits until the government shutdown is over. So, here we sit, waiting to see which side blinks first as they both attempt to leverage people's suffering for their own political gain.

So Republicans won't extend the credit and don't want Americans to save that money and spend it on food and such?

A small sector of Silicon Valley is trying to live forever — literally — and Catholics are actively engaging with this growing ideology.

In the Roman Missal, one of the Prefaces prayed at Masses during Ordinary Time thanks God for having “fashioned for us a remedy out of mortality itself.”

Human beings attempting to fashion their own remedy out of mortality is, of course, nothing new. For centuries, searching for a way to live forever, humans have tried alchemy, mummification, witchcraft … and, increasingly, especially in modern times, science.

Nestled within the more expansive field of transhumanism — the quest to improve and enhance human beings through reason and technology — a new and high-tech effort is underway to entirely thwart the human aging process.

A poster child for this crusade is Bryan Johnson, a multimillionaire entrepreneur who has gained an almost cultlike following as the founder of a movement succinctly dubbed “Don’t Die.”

So you doubt the Spirit in favor of the law? Good luck with that.

Non-responsive to what Scripture says sin is that the holy Spirit convicts us of if we hear His voice Heb3:7-13

The Holy Spirit wrote God's Laws and enables the Christian who loves God to keep them. Not sure why you think the Holy Spirit is against His own Laws. Its a strange argument

John 14:15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another [e]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

Let's just say this one person is a very animated, gregarious person. They tend to lead the table by talking almost constantly. They seem civil if not cordial, but it also seems that everything that comes out of their mouth is talking about someone. They don't necessarily talk bad about someone (though I don't know them enough to say this), but they're ALWAYS mentioning someone's name in practically every other sentence. It makes me wonder, is this too similar to gossip, or is this more excusable?

ps this is not the same woman who I sensed was condescending on me being a convert.

Is this someone in your formation classes? I would say it depends on the way they are referred to. It’s hard to make a call on something like that without being there.

Chesterton said:
That's really too much to go into, but many Protestants after the Reformation gradually stripped a lot of the ancient ways. They don't like our "bells and whistles"- the clergy wearing fancy robes, the incense, the candles, etc. Plus some interpretations of certain scriptures, but it's a lot to talk about.

Sounds like the same reasons certain Christians look askance at Catholics.

In this case youre just guessing, unless you have some actual insight into his motives. But I think you would have said so.

Is there an option C here?

It's either A) something that's a genuine interest that he wants to portray in his art form (as you stated), or B) something he's doing for shock value to get attention (as I stated)

Are there any other rationales that would make sense for that?

The Church has a lot to say about a subject that many of us may not want to think about. That’s the premise of the Register’s first-ever ‘Death Issue.’

For those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, November is an especially fitting time to remember our departed loved ones and reflect on our own mortality.

Nature does its part. The leaves tumble, the shadows lengthen, the temperature dips, gradually moving from sweater weather to knit-cap cold. Yet there’s also a golden beauty to November. It clears the mind and tugs at the heart to ponder deeper things.

Things like death.

The Catholic Church does its part, too. In addition to the back-to-back Solemnities of All Saints and All Souls to begin the month, the Church’s Scripture readings in November, in preparation for Advent, direct our attention to the “four last things”: death, judgment, heaven and hell.

Suffice it to say, then, this seemed like the perfect time for the Register to launch its first-ever “Death Issue,” featuring an eclectic mix of content on that theme available both online and in our Nov. 16 print edition.

If a “Death Issue” sounds dreadfully morose to you, well, good, that means we were right in thinking that we probably all could use a refresher on the Catholic view of death — because it’s anything but dark.

Even at the cost of misrepresenting the word of God? I mean what’s more important here, teaching sound theology or defending a theology that contradicts scripture?

Yes, you are right. They shouldn't but they do.

BNR32FAN said:
I had to make that choice a long time ago and I ended up reevaluating my entire theology.

I had a simmilar experience with legalism. It was a tough slog to overcome it, and the process shook me to the core, but God was faithful and led me through it. Looking back, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

More than 1,000 flights cancelled as airport chaos begins: ‘People are just fed up’

Leslie Nash of Long Beach waited as long as she could before calling off her 60th-birthday trip to Hawaii with her sisters; she was forced to cancel Thursday or risk losing refunds for her hotel room and rental car.

“It’s a total first-world problem on my end,” she said. “I can always reschedule, but it just sucks.”

Faced with the government shutdown, the immigration raids in Southern California, the general polarization of American politics and now the travel setbacks, “people are just fed up,” Nash said. “Can we have any joy?”

Sorry, Elon Musk promised us all "temporary hardships".

But you still expect them to comply. Otherwise you would live and let live.

When I feel moral outrage, I feel a need to try to counteract it, additionally not acting on it feels bad itself. The morals of the perpetrator don't concern me.

Fervent said:
I'm asking where the wrongness rests, in you doesn't answer that question because that's what is supposed to be explained.

Where do YOU feel feelings? I can't pinpoint a specific location, they come to me as parts of me.

Fervent said:
That doesn't explain the difference, just that there is one. What is it that is different? Why do you feel the need to act and intervene in the one case, and in the other you're fine with the diversity?

The specific feeling, as I have said multiple times. Some feelings gives me an impetus to act (among them moral feelings), and others don't.

The what, prey tell, is "anti-communist bigotry" and how would it manifest?

It would of course manifest as anyone calling Mamdani a communist, or a socialist for that matter, or even hinting at it. Anything that suggested he wasn’t as American as apple pie in his political stance. It would be almost as bad as deadnaming the person.

High Fidelity said:
No, in France.

Thanks for the clarification. It turns out that the suspect, Jean Guillot, 35, a local fisherman who grew up in the Dordogne, has addiction and mental issues, and despite yelling "Allahu Akbar," neither his religion nor terrorism appears to have been a motive.

The man in his thirties claims to have recently become radicalized. These statements should be taken with a grain of salt, as his remarks to investigators are, to say the least, confused.

"He is known for his numerous transgressions, notably due to his regular drug and alcohol use,"

He had been "hearing strange noises in his head for some time" and expressed a "desire to be hospitalized." Earlier, Jean G. confessed to the acts and explained that he had "followed the orders of Allah," who had entrusted him with a mission and demanded a "sacrifice." These elements support the theory of mental health issues as the cause of the suspect's impaired judgment.

He doesn't, however, speak of killing infidels. Investigators are struggling to understand his logic. His statements are confused and at times bizarre.

Jean G., told investigators during his police custody that he had converted to Islam in recent weeks. This appears to be a case of self-radicalization, seemingly without any contact with the Iraqi-Syrian region or any radical imam.

He believes, according to the same source, that Islam gives meaning to his life, a life made up of alcohol consumption, cannabis and violence.

"Religious writings, of the Muslim faith, were found in his caravan," he continued, adding that there was nevertheless "no jihadist dimension" to his actions.

The subject wanted to be baptized.

Jean G. contacted the parish of Oléron this summer to begin the process of being baptized, TF1-LCI newsrooms learned from the parish, confirming information from Sud Ouest. The first meetings were scheduled to begin at the end of November.

Jean G. "has spiraled out of control in the last two years due to drugs and alcohol."

This witness does not understand why his former friend shouted "Allah Akbar" yesterday because according to him, Jean G. "often spoke about the church, and went to mass every Sunday for the past four months".

High Fidelity said:
Huntingdon is very close to me and I used to travel there for work, but no, we don't know the motive yet.

The suspect in this case was Anthony Williams, a British national born in the UK. Both terrorism and religion have been ruled out as a motive.

Despite the severity of the incident, police have concluded there is no evidence that the train stabbings were motivated by ideology or politics.

High Fidelity said:
However last week there was an Afghan asylum seeker that murdered someone walking there dog, stabbed a 14-year-old and injured someone else, which is one of many recent instances of people from those backgrounds proving they shouldn't be allowed here.

This appears to have been some sort of domestic dispute between the man and his landlord.

Safi Dawood is charged with murdering Wayne Broadhurst, as well as attempting to murder his landlord Shahzad Farrukh, 45, and a 14-year-old boy, in relation to the incident in Midhurst Gardens in Uxbridge on Monday 27 October, a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard.

Dawood allegedly contacted his landlord on WhatsApp and asked him to come to his room, where Mr Farrukh found the defendant with a large knife.

Mr Farrukh eventually managed to run out of the house and seek assistance from neighbours.

Dawood allegedly approached one of the witnesses with a knife in his hand and was standing in her garden while members of her family sought to help Mr Farrukh and the 14-year-old boy, who had suffered minor injuries to his hands.

One of the neighbours swung her walking stick at Dawoo,d which caused him to back off,

You said that this is "one of many recent instances of people from those backgrounds proving they shouldn't be allowed here," but there doesn't appear to be any evidence that refugees and asylum seekers are committing homicides at a higher rate in Europe than native-born citizens.

Yes, you are missing something, the description is for people who are not doing the truth, so if anyone is of the truth they do it, not talk about them...

No, that's not right. It doesn't say that nobody who walks in the Spirit ever indulges the lusts of the flesh.

Abraham1st said:
James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Your name seems to suggest you like to show the name of CHRIST.

NewLifeInChristJesus

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

I do not promote myself as Christ Jesus but rather points to Him as the giver and sustainer of life. From another thread:

Abraham1st said:
Do you mean in your brain, that the doctrine of godliness cannot be allowed.

It is obvious that these remarks do not come from walking in the Spirit since they are the results of indulging of the flesh.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like (Ga 5:19–21)

Fine. Walsh and Shapiro have extensively discussed this. Given the size of their audiences, they certainly have a larger youth audience than Fuentes.

As for becoming moderate, just yesterday's stream (Nov 6th), he said, and hopefully this quote to illustrate the sort of nonsense he's still up to but is not inflammatory enough to get banned (I will gladly remove if asked): "The Jews are destroying this country because the country doesn’t want to support Israel anymore." Not exactly straying far from his roots.

I was speaking a little loosely there and equivocating on "platform" -- it's not a problem for youtube to ban people like Fuentes, and somebody like Fr Josiah doesn't need to invite them on, either.
