For those of you overseas, would you want me to move any of our current chats to a different time? I am flexible on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but I do not want to interfere with Armin's chats. Also, if anyone wants to host at a different time, that works, too!!

Hi all, To streamline content, I have created categories for our posts. Please use those when you post. It will make it easier for everyone to go directly to the content they are most interested in. Thank you!!!!

A group of aggressive Africans confronts the Italian army. While the soldiers calmly, disciplined, and steadfastly fulfill their duty, they are met with threats, ingratitude, and open aggression. The Italian army holds the line—clear, professional, and fearless. This is exactly what everyday life looks like in large parts of Europe nowadays. https://x.com/webaxvita/status/2086683367529967956?s=46&t=gT6uLhaVod8uwzT4p6povA

Me, waiting for the 'religion is misogynistic' people to realize that according to Judaism, a woman is allowed to say no to her husband in bed if she's not in the mood, or she's not all that attracted to him at the moment, or whatever, but he would be SINNING if he doesn't sleep with her after he notices she's trying to get his attention - so technically, according to halachic law a woman is allowed to say no to her husband in bed but a man is not allowed to say no to his wife.

Official Chinese figures report around 44 million Christians (about 38 million Protestants and 6 million Catholics) registered with state-approved churches. However, independent researchers and human rights groups estimate that, when including members of unregistered "house churches," the total Christian population could exceed 100 million, potentially surpassing the Chinese Communist Party's roughly 98 million members. China officially recognizes only state-sanctioned churches, while many underground congregations operate outside government control and have faced surveillance, raids, and other restrictions as authorities continue to enforce the policy of "Sinicization," requiring religious groups to align with Communist Party oversight and socialist values. https://x.com/visegrad24/status/2086060355135086726?s=46&t=gT6uLhaVod8uwzT4p6povA
