- Comment on Is it ideal to renounce citizenship if moving abroad permanently? 18 hours ago:
In the UK you are only brought to jury duty if you’re on the electoral register. To be on the register, you need to be residing there.

No, unless it’s a requirement. Also, keep in mind, think of your children. I have an American friend who’s mother was a British citizen, and renounced it after becoming an American out of “patriotism” or “loyalty” to her new country. Now my friend who studied in the UK would have really liked to have stayed here, given, you know, but can’t.

I like AI, too. However I don’t like it when it’s being shoved in my face, or pinned on top of my WhatsApp chat, or in Notepad, or driving up the prices of computer parts, or scraping data or selling my data, or on the other end of a customer service line, or being relied upon to replace human jobs, or for hiring people, etc.
AI is nice when it sticks to it’s lane and to help people do people jobs.

Worth mentioning the failures of the police to actually get medical attention for the student who was bleeding out instead of arresting him

Oh yeah, I agree it isn’t news. But there’s nothing wrong with a husband being proud of his wife. Again, that is probably not news either. “Breaking news: Husband is proud of his wife for fighting illness” isn’t anything surprising.

Didn’t she have cancer? Travel isn’t really that easy for cancer patients, even after it has generally been treated.

- Comment on Seagull leaves it's mark on King as he visits seaside resort 2 weeks ago:
Throughout most of British history, the King’s consort has been referred to simply as Queen. The term was only really used during the period between the Ascension and the Coronation to avoid confusion with Her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
“Queen Mother” is also another title as they retain their stylings, so I guess you might differentiate between a Queen Consort and a Queen Mother then. Fun fact: When Elizabeth II ascended to the Throne, Queen Mary of Teck was still alive and so was Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. So there were three Queens.
I wonder what Queen Camilla’s title will be if His Majesty passes before she does. My bets would be on Queen Dowager

Whenever Missionaries went to China, they used existing Chinese frameworks such 上帝 to explain theology. Does that mean that Christianity is based on Chinese religious thought? By no means! It is possible that some at the time of the greeks had a flawed view on the matter, heresies have existed from the start (notably Gnosticism) but that doesn’t mean that Christianity is based on greek mythology at all. In fact, they were ridiculed on many points, as Greek religion aimed to escape the “mortal coil” and that the body is bad, while Christianity teaches that you’ll be resurrected and given a regenerate and glorified body after death. In the afterlife you’ll still be a physical creature, instead of a spirit/phantom
