people downvoting is fine. Omarchy is great. Worked 12 years for a Linux Distro and they were never able to achieve what he did in months (on top of Arch for sure).
In general, the Church is opposed to anything “magical” on the grounds that it is, first, irrational and superstitious, and second, entails evil desires for power and knowledge. These on their own suffice as justifications, but each of these are also taken to create conditions that make one vulnerable to demonic influence.
Here’s an excerpt from the Catechism [0]:
“Divination and magic
“2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.
“2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future.48 Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.
“2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another's credulity.”
I think people downvote your answer because its literally wrong. Just thinking about the influence of Plato in the Geometry, Aristotle and his Logic and scientific method, Descartes and Cartesian-plane.. Actually Pythagoras and Euclid were considered Philosophers.. So I guess your downvotes are coming from there.
I was surprised by the great graphics too. I agree that some screenshots would be useful.. I was expecting something totally different, than great pixel art :)
> What's interesting about the Trump election is that it in effect gives Biden a license to give Ukraine one last, (modest) push like this.
I ask myself if it is a tactical game from democrats to make the life from Trump's administration as harder as possible with the expectation to come back in 2028.. In another hand it would be too evil to put the internal politics game above everything..
The West is a group of countries characterized by strong institutions and rule of law so Usa, Canada, europe, Japan, a Korea, Australia (it's not in fact a geographical term)
What I meant is that Ukraine is putting up a fight against an aggressor is doing unbelievably, and the west while helping isn't helping nearly as much as it should.

I hear a lot this:
- Either we should invest our full energy in coming to peace, whatever it costs, because the main goal is to save lives and keep the peace
- Or we go and support Ukraine with NATO and forces the War to an end
What we do today is none of both, like "almost 0 diplomacy" and giving weapons and support in the bare minimum, not committing to any position, is pretty bad to the civilians and soldiers in Ukraine.
Something that I never expected to hear and see: In Germany the Green Chanceler candidate, Robert Habeck, trying to score in the upcoming election, saying that he would deliver Taurus to Ukraine: https://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2024-11/ukraine-krieg-ro...
