This sentence could land you in prison for life if they go ahead with "suspending" habeas corpus. Remember folks, if your detention cannot be challenged legally, it doesn't matter AT ALL whether your detention was legal. If you think they'll never come for you, you're forgetting that they'll rely on the volunteer army of MAGA "informers" who will turn you in for treason because you annoyed them by being kind to someone they were bullying or something completely trivial. Without habeas corpus, suspicion is sentencing.

Why he white tho

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Probably because 95% oft all people in the medieval age and prior (where this specific depiction of portrait-jesus emerged) have never seen a black person all their life - including artists. Can't blame people for drawing people as they know them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, Europe had black people.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah the Moors controlled the Iberian peninsula for nearly 800 years from 711-1492.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The moors were mostly Arabs and Berbers, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes, and Jesus was from the middle east, so the people of europe would not be unaware of what people from there might look like.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago

Because he's the son of God

And according to Europeans or those of European descent, the son of God has got to be white like them and not some dirty brown curly haired middle eastern Arab.

Gays, immigrants, and marginalised people together strong 💪

And please acknowledge the fact they called it Gulf of Mexico instead of Gulf of "America"!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 23 hours ago

Twas the cherry on top.

or some uptight twitter green smartass (cia bot) about the fact that they were on diesel guzzling cruiser.

Are you saying that only the Central Intelligence Agency wants the USA to stop using destructive and limited fuel sources?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, but the CIA wants to discredit critics by making progressives look extreme with ridiculous psyop campaigns.

I remember the one where the so-called feminist pours bleach on men on the train who are "manspreading". Although that one turned out to be Russian in origin. Same sort of thing however.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

yes, that is 100% precisely what i am saying it's right there in my comment right next to the part that says you're a moron.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

You could have just said "Yes, you're correct", no need to compliment me aha

daepicgamerbro69 : right next to the part that says you’re a moron.

Lyra,

You said in another post today you have memory problems. I have extreme severe brain damage. Maybe you have problems like I do?

no need to compliment me aha

Do you go all over Lemmy being insincere and mocking what you don't grasp or understand?

You could have just said “Yes, you’re correct”

You could have said that to me as moderator of my community when you seem highly confused and made a claim a post broke rules. But instead, you insulted me instead of actually addressing your misunderstanding.

Incredibly based

Ahem...

Gulf of America.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Right hand to gay Jesus, I was literally coming into this thread to type out the exact same thing. Except my comment wouldn't have had the italics or newline because according to my therapist I'm lazy and lack curiosity so I wouldn't have spent the time or even had the inclination.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Two new lines to make a new paragraph.
Or two empty spaces and one "return" at the end of the previous line to make it just a new line, not a new paragraph.

Good for poetry.
Or song lyrics.

Italics, just get wrapped in asterisks, like *this*.

The reason I can type it out like this so you can see it is because I "escaped" the asterisk, by putting a backslash (\) before it.

That backslash in the last paragraph was placed between two back ticks, `like this`, to make it appear in a fixed-width font, like this. Good for code or CLI commands.
