  • Where should we be putting our efforts? Where should we be putting our focus? I’ll tell you where our enemies are putting it. They’re putting it on the kids.

    It’s no wonder, with that kind of intense training and discipling, that those young people are ready to kill themselves for the cause of Islam. I wanna see young people who are as committed to the cause of Jesus Christ as the young people are to the cause of Islam. I wanna see them as radically laying down their lives for the Gospel as they are over in Pakistan and Israel and Palestine and all those different places, you know, because we have… excuse me, but we have the truth!

  • depends on your Distro, for Linux Mint it’s just the Driver Manager.

    To access the Driver Manager in Linux Mint, follow these steps:

    1. Click on the Menu (Taskbar) in the lower-left corner of your screen.
    2. Navigate to Administration.
    3. Click on Driver Manager.

    Load Device Manager for Nvidia Drivers on Linux Mint

    Once you have opened the Driver Manager, follow these steps to install the Nvidia drivers:

    1. The Driver Manager will prompt you for your password. Enter your password and click on Authenticate.
    2. The Driver Manager will scan your system for available drivers. Once the scanning is complete, you will see a list of available drivers for your graphics card.
    3. Select the recommended Nvidia driver from the list.
    4. Click on Apply Changes to start the installation process.

    Then reboot.

    For most problems you can really just google stuff like “Linux Mint Nvidia Drivers”











  • It’s such a shitty landscape right now.

    Is a given person uttering valid critique of Israel or is it veiled antisemitism? Is their opponent calling out real antisemitism or is it a dishonest defense of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel? Is real valid critique being answerd by honest but wrongly-addressed call outs of antisemitism? Is real antisemitism accepted as a valid critique?

    The example of this thread is definetly a dishonest defense of Israel, they could not have made it clearer that they will oppose valid criticism of Israel with the antisemitism-cudgel.

    And I hate that, because equating Israel and jewish people is playing right into the hands of antisemites and into the hands of a murderous isreaeli government.




  • when our modern police/military state has already surpassed 1930s Germany by leaps and bounds

    This thread man… I don’t think you guys have much of an idea how bad Nazi Germany was. If you said stuff like this on the street over here in 1934 you’d end up in a concentration camp. Hans and Sophie Scholl were guillotined for distributing leaflets for fucks sake.


  • Call officers who hide as “undercover agents” but we call them in other countries “secret police” and

    Holy shit dude, secret police and undercover pigs are not the same. Not that I harbor any sympathies for the pigs, but at least you live in a nation where people don’t just get disappeared. The Stasi and the Gestapo… those guys would laugh at your police. They could black bag you and noone would ever know what happened to you… you’d just disappear, no courts, no lawyers, no way to find out… just poof, gone in the night… Shit, the SRB alone killed half a million people in Uganda.

    The Mississippi SovCom was a secret police and under Hoover the FBI could be called a secret police, but the mere fact that you can express this opinion here and now without fearing repercussions is a testament to how much you do not live under the thump of a secret police.

    You’re spot on on the rest of your points, but this one error undermines your argument, don’t make it.
