Most conservative Christians (at least the ones I know in LDS and evangelical circles) would be very uncomfortable with their kids watching Andrew Tate videos, yes.
One of the central tenets of democracy is that NOBODY knows anyone else's voting records. Even politicians are not allowed to reveal who they're voting for (meaning they can't show the paper. They can talk about it afterwards, but for all you know e.g. Trump voted for Harris).
I've always known people involved with the Christian community to be opposed against all extreme political parties, left and right (and long ago against anarchists, mostly against greens, ...). If they are rightist, they won't be nearly far enough right to support Andrew Tate and the like.
You don't know and can't know if being Christian and voting rightist overlaps or not. Only the general area is known. Nothing more.
I know how your neighborhood did; I know how evangelicals (and Asians and Jews and people in certain age and income brackets and dozens of other data points) voted.
The more evangelical an area, the more it voted for Trump. We know this.
>The more evangelical an area, the more it voted for Trump.
Talking to my evangelical friends here in Europe, they also voted for the most hardcore extremist populist candidates who turned out to be corrupt liars, just like Trump, who didn't give a flying fuck about the "Christian values" they preached, they just exploited them for the votes while doing the most non-Christian things ever in private.
I think the reason they fall for candidates and apps like these, is evangelicals and devout Christians as a whole, are too trusty and naive, which makes the easy marks for the most unscrupulous predatory politicians and businessmen out there.

I'm a security engineer dreaming of moving to a more human centric role like customer support or sales. Working in tech has been a blast but people have always been my favorite part.
As a user of local models, it's well above 85% already. I use frontier models at work and local models for home use because my day to day tasks are well within what DeepSeek can handle.
The US is responsible for over 10% of world manufacturing, putting them in second place of all countries (after China).
>When people claim that America is losing manufacturing jobs
That percentage goes down every year due to reduced manufacturing but also jobs are lost to high-tech automation in manufacturing. But it's still a buttload.
My favorite thing about Neovim is how easy it is to customize (I know, I know, but keep reading, it's about to get spicier) with LLMs. I got sick of Bear and Obsidian and had DeepSeek bash Vim's head in until it was the todo + calendar app of my dreams. Since OpenCode can easily interact with Vim during the terminal, it can itself test whether its changes work until it meets the criteria I set. No going back.
I'm Mormon, and doing family history research is one of my favorite church activities. Appreciate unexpectedly seeing us mentioned in a positive light online!
I feel the same way about Guix with nonguix channel enabled. NixOS is awesome but I prefer Guile to Nix's language and I enjoy the docs more. But definitely sister OSes.
There's nowhere near enough love for Guix. I don't understand it. It has far better foundations. I would never invest time into some "config language". Using a real programming language has huge benefits, and it's a good one (Scheme).
This post inspired me to donate to the only video game I've played in years, PokeMMO. Btw if anyone here plays my username is ieatpears, send a friend request or whatever, I'd love to play with someone else!
I'm currently learning Kiche, a Mayan language from Guatemala. My whole life I've lived in the Americas, but only hearing European languages: Portuguese in Brazil, French in Haiti, English in the USA, and Spanish almost everywhere else. For the first time in my life I'm in a place where most conversations happen in an actual American language and it's pretty incredible. But it also makes me a bit sad. What if America had kept it's linguistic and cultural diversity like Europe and Asia got to? Even Africa came out less homogeneously Europeanized.
But no sense in crying over what could've been. I'm grateful that at least a smidgen survives.
