Good for affordable housing?

religious nutters.

Yes. Specifically the nutters.

Xmas started out as the Winter Solstice and was co-opted by Christians.

No. Christmas is on the 25th of December. The Solstice is the 21st

Halloween is also a Christian holiday. Both are being run by capitalists these days.

It’s a shame how Christmas has become a commercialised hellhole due to secularism instead of being what it originally was: a Christian holiday. It’s always more fulfilling to get back to the roots of it, many churches hold special events for it.

Halloween is similar. Unfortunately, Protestants barely observe the religious aspect.

Didn’t someone say that AI would be better at replacing the CEOs?

Wasn’t there something that couldn’t be classified as free because it had json or something which has a licence and it’s only stipulation is is “do not use for evil”?

From my experience"from what I’ve heard" stuff can be unreliable, although in your circumstances, sounds like you’re best playing it safe. There were cases in China of children being institutionalised for BS like videogame addiction. There’s also the chance though that they fixed that problem. For example, I was warned against smog in Beijing, I arrived and there were trees everywhere and half the cars were electric. Turns out they fixed the problem (although the city didn’t have the freshest of air but I didn’t have any adverse health impact from a temporary visit). I had heard stuff about Christian Persecution there, legally churches do need to be state sanctioned, but people claimed such churches were just propaganda arms/theatres for an illusion of a right to religious belief. I went to a church there and the way the service was carried out had it’s unique aspects, but the actual content of what was being preached wasn’t any different or concerning from what churches would preach here in the UK. There was no politics mentioned except a Chinese flag sitting outside the building and a poster tucked in the corner outside talking about “socialist values” which translated wasn’t really anything alarming from a theological standpoint.

Further research indicated the reason why Opendoors (an organisation commonly cited regarding Christian Persecution) put them in the “red” category was due to Xinjiang and Tibet where family or community members may not take kindly to an apostasy from their traditional religions, as opposed to state persecution.

Sure, China isn’t ideal but I have seen people over exaggerate stuff. It is advised if you renounced Chinese citizenship to always carry proof with you from what I’ve heard.

First sunday of advent is four Sundays before Christmas. So this year it’s the 30th of November. The presentation of Christ at the Temple is on the 2nd of February

I love visiting China but I don’t really see much of a reason to want to live there

Briton here. Decorations go up on the first Sunday of Advent and come down after the feast of the Presentation of Christ at the Temple.

I am pro gun control, but if I was in the USA, I’d have a gun. No sense being caught without one when the bad guy appears with one.

The fact that it gives a different response each time to the same query from the same user shows it’s unreliable

My dad and I have googled the same question and the AI said completely different things (on a yes/no question)

I googled it

NO

Thank you! That’s so much fun!

I do this with Mandarin. It’s funny.
