Cybermyconids rise

No. I mean if you spend your entire life jumping between 30 rooms full of people then perhaps, but for just normal voice communication for meeting, gaming or RPG it was entirely sufficient.

Before the discord plague i used Team Speak, it was sufficient.

Yeah i also don’t think it’s dying hence the plea. But thing is, i don’t want alternative. I want this shit to die so i never want to see “join our discord” spammed absolutely everywhere when i want to get some info on anything.

Please discord die already

It’s a state enforcing a particular administrative jurisdiction.

It’s state banning religious organization no matter how many rounds of mental gymnastic you do

These are all Orthodox churches, literally the same denomination. The Ukrainian church declared its autocephaly so that it is not administratively dependent on the Moscow Patriarchate and that was recognized by the Ecumenical Patriarchate and others (eg the Church of Greece, the Patriarchate of Alexandria).

This has nothing to do with the matter

What this move does is Ukraine mandating that churches within its boundaries adhere to the autocephaly. It’s not banning anything, just returning canonical ownership of the physical infrastructure to the canonical administration.

Gold medal at mental gymnastic. This is just setting up state supported religion and opressing those not adhering to it.

This makes sense in the context of a war of national liberation, when the enemy is literally in a position to do propaganda by controlling those churches.

Finally you say something with substance, unfortunately for you this substance jut offer a more or less valid reason for state opression, not making the opression disappear.

Ultimately, this is more like confiscating Russian assets than restricting religious freedom.

Oh damn, so having anything at all to do with Russia now justifies literally everything

From the point of view of a believer, the only observed difference will be which particular patriarch is mentioned during mass, nothing else changes dogmatically.

Sure, it’s only religion, known as least important and trivial issue ever. Read yourself again what you just wrote here.

and these are all internally orthodox politics.

It’s not when a state comes in and bans and confiscates. Afaik Ukraine is secular state, it does not have state religion so why it does everything to look like it have one.

The Vatican commenting on it is as absurd

I mean sure Vatican shouldn’t throw any stones when the topic is religious freedom, but again, it’s clear case of religious opression.

as, say, the Egyptian Coptic church making pronouncements about the Pope’s dismissal of cardinal Burke

Bizarre and missed comparison. More apt would be if Egyptian Coptic church expressed concern over US state banning and confistating US catholic church (or any other non-Coptic church in US).

But then again, the Vatican not staying in their lane has been the original reason of the 1054 schism to begin with, so this isn’t that surprising.

Good thing you mention 1000 years old history! Makes your erlier dismissal of any concern over the organisation and worldy manner of denomination even funnier and more detached from reality. I’m sure there was no issues with antipopes or friday prayer names ever, after all “nothing else changes dogmatically”

No, because it’s state banning the church. As in you know, organisation that have all the armed services in its disposal and can enforce it. Pope see it as dangerous precedent especially that if states starts to ban the churches, catholic mafia organisation will be first on list in many many places. It’s also a textbook religious opression, as defined by basically everyone (except you probably).

Imagine getting new teeth but all of them are wisdom teeth.

That’s an unholy merge of:

I love how copyrights are such a consistent constant hurdle for any new developments are are turning everything they touch into shit.

Wait, Reuters is Lemmygrad?

This article has been pretty much completely pro Ukraine, just as NYT consistently is, it just call it “a mistake”. You believe Ukrainian army and their equipment is completely infallible? Look like a paranoic reflex of throwing heavy accusations on a slightest breach of your worldview.

How the hell you people landed on this level of paranoia.

Fears of peace talks

Seems like mask off moment. Now i will read the comments if i suspect the resident liberal warmongers are still on their lines.

EDIT: The condensed copium cloud over liberal posts is even denser than imagined, with multiple layers.

Every kid of belivers is being rased in their faith, worldwide. It is religious indoctrination and frankly i agree that this is child abuse, but it’s not illegal anywhere. People refraining from this and allowing the children to choose are very rare. And even then it might still not exactly be the choice, in basically all societies there is considerable peer and social pressure to conform to its values.

It’s not a choice when they indoctrinate kids in it, which all religions do.

I mean who else it could even mean in USA movie? Especially considering what was in that particular movie.

No, “maybe later” ones are normal size but the porky is humongous.

oh so you are one of them Iron Curtain blindfold guys. Keep denying reality bruh.

But that’s just being nice to those who are automatically nice to them.

That’s part of a diplomacy. Also ask yourself, why are they being nice to them, especially places being plundered by wester colonialism for centuries. For example something like the current situation in Niger where French diplomat get his credentials and visa revoked over not even pretending to be doing his job + ignoring the government he was ambassador to + inflammatory speech of Macron worsening the situation. Which leads to the curious problem of westerners, including a lot of people in this thread, having weird definition of diplomacy as dictating ultimatums to kneeling nonwhite people. USA and EU are now doing exactly this: dictating ultimatums, and are bewildered when other people don’t want to hear this.

Also, it’s not olny being nice: there are a lot of treaties being signed, a lot of gound prepared for further ones - this is how you gauge diplomacy.

Why don’t they do the same with those who oppose them?

You mean Russia? West is only speaking to Russia with ultimatums and loaded “propositions”. I guess the revelation of how France and Germany treated the Minsk agreement was a big bucket of cold water for Russia, they stopped believing what NATO says.

They just keep doing “no u, no u, no u.”

Again, what does west expect when they aren’t even engaging in a good faith? Non hostile countries hear something vastly different, as proven by the examples i cited earlier.

In that respect, other countries such as Saudi Arabia and China have better diplomacy.

Idk about Saudis, but China recently vrokered a deal between Iran and Saudis, two of the most traditionally mutually hostile countries on Earth, i would call this stellar diplomacy.
