In Sudan, Islamists bury Christians alive to later execute them. Where is Greta's Flotilla? Where is Antonio Guterres? Where is Pope Leo? Where are Macron and Starmer? https://x.com/isaacrrr7/status/2073070831530303686?s=46&t=gT6uLhaVod8uwzT4p6povA

It is interesting that you apply rules of conduct on our messages and those rules are not listed anywhere on this site that I could find. So how do I follow and work within the unknown rules but shut up when they are used against me. Therefore, it is safer not to send any messages to this site to make sure that I do no break any rules of conduct. 😂😗 And Soap Box, I will shut up as you told me. Congratulations.

It turns out that Skool gives one point for every like on a comment or post. Those point then accumulate to allow one to move up levels. Skool says it is their way of encouraging people to create quality content. By stating that Skool is confusing quality with popularity.

Following one of the live discussion I thought I'd clarify some points on atheism and atheists. - There is only one thing all atheists have in common Theists (and some atheists) sometimes make statements about what "Atheists believe", as if there is some kind of an atheist bible which all of them use as reference. The truth is that there is only one thing all atheists share - they don't think gods exist. Other than that atheists could differ on almost any topic one could think of - some would advocate for the Covid vaccine while others would argue against it, some are communists while others are libertarians, some would argue that trans people are not really of the identity they claim to have while others would defend the trans perception with zeal etc. . Just as the only thing common to all vegetarians is *not* eating meat , the only thing common to all atheist is *not* believing in the existence of gods (including yours). - Atheists are not necessarily moral relativists While some atheists may be moral relativists, it is not always the case. Many atheists maintain a set of core values which they consider to be universal. The difference between them and theists is, of course, that they don't consider the source of such values to be divine. - Not all atheists "believe there is no god" While some atheists could be described as "believing" there is no god, others came to the conclusion that the existence of gods doesn't make sense. Put in another way, in many cases, telling an atheist that he or she "believe" that god doesn't exist is like telling someone they "believe" the sphinx or Pegasus never existed. As for the atheist writing these lines, he maintains that any claim for the existence of a god does not meet the Popperian falsification principle , and is therefore not valid.

Hi everyone! I am a Dutch GIS/Geo-ICT professional and I want to do something useful with my skill. I am here because I desire for Iran (and other countries) to be free from the grip of totalitarianism and Islam - and European countries including my own to stop being so naive. Perhaps there is something I can do to support this movement. Any ideas? I have some already but I would love to read yours To clarify what I do: I work with (geo)data - analyzing it, making applications (web, mobile, etc) and visualizing that - also in the form of maps. Those can be static maps that you can print or show on the screen, or interactive maps. I work as a freelancer so I choose my own projects and clients, so I have no one to ask permission from. My colleagues in the field are either silent about these topics because they either are not politically informed or they do not dare speak out, or (and I think this is most often the case) they are so blinded by Trump derangement syndrome that they automatically go against everything that comes from America (personally I think Trump is not perfect, no leader is - but I see that he's doing things that I wanted to happen for a long time and that a lot of change is happen, a lot I find good - and I hope with y'all that this change will include the freedom of the Iranian people). And I think there is a big group that just follows what's popular and adopts the current thing, looking around whenever they say something to see if they get approval, like pharisees. Now the biggest thing is to become 'sovereign' in terms of software and data from the USA. Everyone is talking about this, it's crazy. I am for limiting Big Tech (from USA or any other country) and for the open source movement, but now they are just in a mass movement, like scared lemmings, like rebelling children. I find it very sad, as I believe that us geographers and people in tech should do what's best for the people and not let us be captured by fear and woke leftist propaganda.
