Essentially, if police come across a brothel and the women (who are coerced) claim they are there consensually, they cannot do much. If it's illegal, then they can actually get them to safety so they can tell them they were forced. If they weren't, they can just drop the charges. This is basically what Northern Ireland has been doing- and the only people who have been convicted were also convicted of perpetuating human trafficking (they weren't a victim)

Sounds like an easy job in that case, no?

Granted, when I was in bad relationships before, I posted about it online when I wanted permission to end it, too.

I've noticed this on reddit.

There's a lot of misogynists/misandrists/incels online.

A demigod is half human and half god. This isn't the case for Jesus. Jesus is fully human and fully God. The Virgin Birth was also prophecied in Hebrew

The Winter Solstice is on the 21st of December. Christmas is on the 25th of December (actually the 6th of January, if you use the old calendar.)

Christmas trees aren't pagan, they are German and Jesus' birth is celebrated 9 months after His conception, which was placed on the 25th of March to roughly line up with His death, as it was believed that Holy men died on the anniversary of their conception.

We don't know for certain that it wasn't the actual day. It very well could have been.

The earliest writing about Jesus (1 Thessalonians) refers to Jesus as God's son and it was only written 20 years after Jesus was crucified. That's not "long after" in terms of ancient writings, legends typically take longer than living memory to develop.

Also Christianity was persecuted by pagans and was very anti pagan. If the early Christians, presuming some financial motivation, wanted to create a cult and had no issue pandering to Paganism, why not make it polytheistic? Why not worship the emperor of Rome? To compare your argument to swiss cheese would be too charitable.

None of that stuff is Pagan. The Easter egg carries Christian symbolism. Eggs were popular as they were hard boiled on the lead-up to easter due to Lent. The Rabbit was from a German Easter-Hare tradition, likely due to Easter being in Spring.

Sure, you can argue that Easter is being secularised like Christmas and Halloween is. That doesn't make it Pagan.

 

I've seen an uptick of users from here, I heavily suspect them all to be AI bots. They are flooding !casualuk@feddit.uk

I say "investigate" because I'm not 100% sure.

@flamingos@feddit.uk tagging you like this is some form of jira ticket xd

 

A woman from Douglas has described the "horrible" experience of being refused entry to China and immediately deported, despite believing she was covered by a new visa-exemption agreement.

 

So basically, I will be away from home for several weeks. Unfortunately, this became the perfect time for our home router to start acting out and factory resetting itself. We are awaiting a new router for replacement, but the time is tight.

My stuff is ethernetted in, so that connectivity isn't an issue - the issue is that I couldn't actually connect to the router to restore services even if it had internet by fixing all the settings including port forwarding.

What I would like would be the ability to have a VPN perhaps connected to my homelab, so I can hop on the router and restore the settings if this issue happens while I'm away. Any ideas?

Edit: I settled on Netbird. Thank you for your help!

From His Majesty The King:

I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.

 

Worth noting anyone stumbling in here who's non-christian: My views on this topic have little to do with my political views. I believe in religious freedom for the secular world, which includes maintaining the legal recognition of same sex marriage as legalised in the United Kingdom in 2020 by a democratically elected government, but I obviously want the Church to adhere to Biblical teachings and not kowtow to the secular world.

Anyone here who is deceived by common lies that homosexuality is not a sin (and sin, as defined in Christianity, going against God as found in The Bible):

Yes, Paul was talking about homosexuality

And yes, it was about consensual activity

Romans 1:27

and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

There is nothing in the greek that indicates this had anything to do with paedastry or child abuse either.

 

How do you live in this world - filled with wars and chaos - with no hope of redemption or things getting better, and just thing "yep, this is all there is, life is good". As Christians, we have assurance, certainty and comfort in that Jesus is coming back to judge the world, destroy all the wicked and bring us to eternal life. Atheists don't have that. Even worse, some even prefer to insult this God. What's keeping me grounded in this life is the knowledge that God dictates when my life ends- not me.

 

But when they become autistic adults? They can totally do that!

 

Or else you'll have a nightmare about Boris Johnson AGH! Boris Johnson in my head!

 
 

I'm just thinking of cases where a country takes over and exiles the old army, and it's seen the rise of various terrorist groups as you've essentially left a bunch of military trained, often zealouse, young men without a career. Could a similar thing happen with Cyber?
