Define liberalism & what that has to do with NBC. I don’t think you can.

Are you sure? It’s odd to feel the need to tell us what you aren’t doing & who you aren’t.

It’s like you think we’re all assholes who will assume & claim these things about you. Maybe you know lemmy too well.

No one wrote exclusive. I know autists & aspies find precautions around irrational neurotypical tendencies incredibly annoying like walking on eggshells.

I don’t know how you pin this on liberalism.

I see an attempt to attribute problematic conduct to conditions at least as likely to resist it & not necessarily promoting it.

It comes & goes in waves. Do you not like ridiculing & poking their impotent outrage & hostility to self-reflective examination?

Not promoting hate speech

Why not?

ADD, ADHD, Asperger’s, or some other form of autism

Wouldn’t the latter fixate more on logic & more likely oppose neurotypical nonsense like biases & overdramatic outrage?

Like this post & comments where the original context they leave out has an obvious, inoffensive interpretation, and they instead go wild fixating on a small part with disparaging interpretations not indicated by the context?

However, the “don’t generate and distribute infringing material” is a whole different story. IP holders are on pretty solid ground there.

Is any of it infringing? Explain the knock-off music & art in popular media when they don’t want to pay royalty fees for the authentic article. Explain knock-off brands. Cheap imitations to sidestep copyright restrictions have been around long before generative AI, yet businesses aren’t getting sued: they apparently understand legal standards enough to safely imitate. Why is shoddy imitation for distribution okay when human-generated yet not when AI-generated?

I don’t think your understanding of copyright infringement is solid.

Even supposing someone manages to generate work whose distribution infringes copyright, wouldn’t legality follow the same model as a human requesting a commercial (human-based) service to generate that work?

Your claims lack links to supporting references. At least I provide them & link to multiple distinct passages that all seem to converge to the same conclusion. As for the translation, we’re not about to learn ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, & Greek to refer to the earliest texts. This is where linking to a more faithful translation would come in if you can do that.

refer to the pagan concept of an afterlife

Not pagan: the Torah refers to Sheol as either (1) a metaphor for grave or (2) a bleak netherworld where all the dead reside (comparable to Hades). The Tanakh (Daniel 12:2) mentions a general resurrection & afterlife. This made its way into the Old Testament.

The Pharisaic school, which became Rabbinic Judaism, claimed to keep an explanatory Oral Torah for the written Torah, which they eventually codified as the Talmud. This started with the 2nd Temple period before & concurrent with early Christianity, thus influencing its scriptures. The Talmud refers to an afterlife in terms of Sheol, Olam Ha-Ba, Gehinnom:

• Olam Ha-Ba: a place of reward for the righteous
• Gehinnom: a cursed valley identified in the Torah that also refers to a place of 12-month punishment/purification for the impure before they may proceed to Olam Ha-Ba. (The utterly wicked may not proceed.)

Cultures evolve & acquire ideas from exposure to other cultures. Their traditions & mythological texts are no exception. Judaism & early Christianity likely adopted ideas of duality of good & evil, free will, resurrection, an afterlife, divine justice from contacting cultures.^[1]

in line with Pharisaic Judaism

The word in question there is “gehenna” which carries a very specific meaning that does not, in any way, infer an afterlife.

They claimed the contrary: see earlier mention of Gehinnom (the Hebrew name for Gehenna).

the unrighteous are destroyed

In all translations, the famous passage in Matthew about sorting the sheep & goats to different sides specifically mentions eternal punishment for those who don’t get eternal life. Moreover, resurrection is a life after death, ie, an afterlife. None of this is consistent with lack of punishment.

As I wrote before, the Bible is inconsistent, so even the Bible you claim is mistranslated indicates you’re right about the absence of an afterlife & the absence of hell. They both do & don’t exist!

We’re both right. We’re both wrong. Welcome to inconsistency: you can read absolutely anything into the Bible.

I checked before writing the last comment, and it’s mentioned a few times. Nonbelievers are punished in the afterlife.

Only “born-again”/baptized enter heaven

and believers should not perish, but get everlasting life.

As for those who do perish, that happens in hell.

Nonbelievers are denied entry.

This all appears in the New Testament.

The older, Jewish scriptures don’t mention hell. However, Deuteronomy 13 is all about Moses instructing the Israelites to murder heretics. Moral bankruptcy.

The rest of the help explains headings, paragraphs, line breaks (if you want those to render). Otherwise, it’s better.

Nope: the horizontal scroll boxes (marked up as code blocks) don’t contain code & no one should have to horizontally scroll long prose. Those code blocks should be blockquotes.

Mozilla’s blockquote documentation

The markdown documentation is built right into the lemmy editor (as the help icon).

The Bible is an inconsistent mess that people can read anything into. Referring to it is an exercise in cherry-picking. It has good Jesus parts, but there’s the whole rest of the morally bankrupt nonsense with evil god shit:

• vengeful god who
  • commands genocide, demands worship, & creates evil
  • punishes disobedience with curses, plagues, cuckoldry, cannibalism to eat your own children, slavery, infighting
• endorses genocide, killing innocents, slavery, selling daughters to sex slavery, rape, forced marriage of victim to their rapist, inequality of women
• weird purity codes against pork & shellfish; mixing fibers, crops, animals; particular facial hairstyles; tattoos; body modification; etc.
• an afterlife that punishes nonbelievers who do good

all while claiming to be the final word of god. Arguing for good while referring to the Bible requires willfully overlooking all of that: it isn’t good.

long, horizontal scroll boxes of text that isn’t code
proper blockquotes elsewhere

You clearly know how to blockquote: use it correctly.

Back to propagating illegal settlements.

You got your POWs back

Who is “you” & why do you think they’re on lemmy? Are we playing to the gallery?

Good ol’ EU: prioritizing “right to be forgotten” & privacy that isn’t reasonably expected over transparency, information freedom, truth.

It’s unsurprising considering the lemmy founder.

I was more responding to the tendency around here to write overzealous opinions at length on shaky ground without feeling the slightest inclination to maybe shore those up with some reliable references to not look completely crazy. It’s like they expect the gallery to uncritically accept their opinion & build on it with more opinion, which I guess could work that way in some parts of lemmy.
