Shifting the goalposts" is an idiom that means changing the rules or conditions of a situation, often in a way that is unfair or designed to make it more difficult for someone to achieve their goal. It implies that someone is deliberately making it harder for another person to succeed by moving the target or changing the requirements after the activity has already begun, according to several online dictionaries. Here’s a breakdown of what it means in different contexts: In general: It signifies a change in expectations or standards, often to the disadvantage of someone else. Imagine playing a game where the rules keep changing mid-game, making it harder to win. In an argument: It can refer to someone who keeps changing their stance or demands during a discussion to avoid conceding or to keep arguing. For example, if someone keeps adding new requirements after an agreement has been reached, they are shifting the goalposts. In the workplace: It can mean a manager changing performance expectations or job duties after the work has already started, without proper justification or compensation, says a business blog. In politics: It can describe a situation where a political party or leader changes their position or priorities to suit their current needs, potentially misleading the public or undermining previous promises, reports Forbes. In everyday language: It’s a negative term, implying unfairness and manipulation. People generally dislike when goalposts are moved because it creates a sense of instability and distrust.

Wonderful way to put words in someone else’s mouth. Shift those goal posts a little further. I’m sure nobody will notice.

Out of curiosity is your instance still federated with .ml or that other tankie haven I forget the name of. If so, yes you probably are seeing a lot of bots. It’s quite obvious when you look at downvote and upvoter brigades. Pretty unusual for five people to all vote within half a second of each other. Then to not see any other votes for a while.

The Bible isn’t always meant to be taken literally good luck trying to explain that to a Baptist though. (Jesus almost exclusively spoke in metaphors AKA parables ) The first part of Genesis is describing how early hominids became humans. Personally I like the idea that God is more of a 4th dimensional entity that time does not constrain in any form. Basically a mad scientist using what we call evolution to slowly shape and change his petri dish of a planet.

Rape incest and pedophilia are the immoralities as written out in the Bible. Also lust to an extent.

Also, technically yes, all the nuns who have taken vows of Chastity are married to the church as are the pastors…

Depending on your interpretation of the Bible, you’re at least minimum guaranteed marriage to Jesus. Revelations 19

But from my lay perspective there is not a passage in the Bible that says gay sex is worse than eating shellfish so do with that what you will. The thing Jesus actually mentions several times explicitly was adultery aka being unfaithful as in cheating. So as long as its consensual and your not wrecking houses…

But the reason Germany was so full of those scientists is because Germany lacked access to good coal seams and to petroleum reserves and also its massive dye industry from the 1800s. In a similar fashion, Germany learned to use metals like magnesium because they were abundant while pure iron was not

I mean they did have better machining and chemistry infrastructure, but that’s more of a result of poor material conditions forcing inovations. Their presses and processes were really good. We did beat them easily with slightly worse technology because we could mass produce it. The US had more crudely tooled industry but we had a lot more industrial capacity.

One of the major looted items after the war from both the US and the Soviets was the shrviving German metallurgists and chemists. Both also looted tooling and machinery.

Operation paperclip was a lot more than rocket scientists

Well damn Jackie. I can’t control the weather

I either use the direct website for my instance or from my phone the Android connect app

Depends on what you use. I can see my own deleted comments from quite a few posts that various instance admins decided to remove.

The way lumi works is that it is decentralized and for bands to work across instances… if you are the admin of an instance then you can see everything relating to that instance including mod actions that effect users that use your instance. Nothing is private.

Yeah the south of England. It’s just another word Y’all gave us and then abandoned like soccer.

Tone is far more important than diacritics

Pro tip

the person that you’re replying to was being sarcastic. You can tell this because none of the things that he said were true.

Boo keep the original order

Swap the image. Keep the text

It was never meant to save you from the blast. It was meant to save you from the concrete slab of the roof crushing you when the pressure wave rolls over the building and collapses it. That way if you’re lucky, someone can dig you out.
