Wikipedia is for my benefit, so I can just read it.

Nobody else needs to even know I have it, necessarily.

Them not being able to read it might even be a boon.

The goal is to get a leg up on things, not start having nuclear reactors in the medieval era.

For example muskets had an iterative development as small incremental changes took place. Relatively small changes made modest improvements.

It would also be nice to know when eclipses are about to happen, for, ah, reasons.

First off. Do I get to bring stuff with me? Like say the entire printed off contents of wikipedia.

also, I would like find one or two things that hadn't quite been invented yet and 'invent' it.

also, Also, with a modicum of military power, I'd probably start a religion.

This assumes I have time to learn the local dialect

That was profound.

It seems off and on, I routinely have one downvote show up on every thing, including totally benign “hahah cute cat” type comments, or comments that are otherwise well received.

It started happening after I criticized Israel for genocide. (Specifically around the time that there was that giant missile barrage right at the start of the Israeli response.)

Checking my recent comments it seems to be off at the moment.

It stocking his minibar would probably save a few bucks.

revolves around? no. I don't think that at all.

but I do know that roughly 28% of annual contributions come from the US, that the US is fourth on the list of 'most Catholics' by total numbers and the vatican would be pretty stupid to ignore those two points. and that is not even coming close to the question of corruption or doctrine.

Are they going to completely capitulate? probably not, but that doesn't mean there's no influence, either. Further, the vatican still opposes trans lifestyles doctrinaly, and Francis was the first pope to emphasize pastoral care over doctrine. It would not be difficult to imagine that conservative voices push back against that shift.

Thus I'm concerned that the next guy won't be as supportive of trans as Francis was. Remember, Francis ruffled more than a few feathers with his progressiveness, not just american bishops (who are straight up assholes.)

Fortunately; if god is real he got bored with this particular video game and moved onto some thing more exciting.

Do you seriously think they’re not?

Do you really think the cia/nsa doesn’t have compromat? Or that Putin doesn’t?

Or that rich fucks like musk can’t buy a priest?

Are you really so confident the organization that made a deliberate effort to protect men who sexually assaulted children is going to do the right thing because it’s the right thing?l
