Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

It is no wonder other smaller countries want to join. And if you are a European country, it is a great club to be in and the surest way to bring peace to your people and avoid conflict on your territory. If you want to join, you might want to make sure that you don't upset Russia before you join, o...

Re: The Great Dechurching

Interesting take on why fewer and fewer Americans go to church. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/07/christian-church-communitiy-participation-drop/674843/ Nearly everyone I grew up with in my childhood church in Lincoln, Nebraska, is no longer Christian. That’s not unusual. Forty mill...

Re: Business opportunities serving low-tech Anabaptist groups

Anabaptists who don't use certain technologies present a unique set of business opportunities for those interested in meeting their resulting needs.

Re: GPT and LLMs: Good? Bad? Both?

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

I didn't vote in this poll/thread because I don't know who will win.
And for the record, I don't know which one would be the best/worst for this country, so I have no incentive to vote in this poll/thread for that reason either.

Re: War in Gaza

Is this true? https://www.israelam.com/israel-news-4-1-24/ According to the Israeli authority coordinating humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza, between 150 and 200 aid trucks enter Gaza every day. UN agencies and aid organizations operating in Gaza are unable to cope with the volume of supplies brou...

Re: Assigning blame vs. holding accountable... the difference?

I don't think it is good for individuals or organizations or churches to make repeated failures, year after year, and no one needs to answer for it. In some scenarios, when you try to hold someone accountable, they will make statements like, "we all make mistakes" or "nobody is perfec...
