People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

When doing genealogy, it's sometimes worthwhile doing a web search. Gerard van der Flier, my 5th cousin twice removed, was a Supreme Court justice in the Netherlands from 1939 to 1949. #genealogy #Netherlands nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_...

“.. QuitGPT is the first true consumer-driven, social-political movement against AI .. it is a first sign of a crack developing in the AI race.” - Fed Watch Advisors @markruffalo.bsky.social quitgpt.org

Why do Conservative MPs insist on being the Laggards in the EV revolution? Every new technology follows the same curve: innovators jump first, early adopters follow, and the rest come on board once the benefits are impossible to ignore. EVs are right in the middle of that shift.

Browsing the on-line gravestones, I came across this one. At the top, is the poignant question (in Dutch): "Why?" #genealogy
