Cancel Culture: Despite Problematic Past, Jesus Still Offering To Cancel Sins Of The World

WORLD—Cancel culture is real: according to a recent report, God has dug up humanity’s atrocious past and offered to cancel the sins of the world through His Son, Jesus Christ.

God combed through humanity’s old tweets, wars, racism, hate for one another, and all other offensive acts, motives, and attitudes against a thrice-holy God, and decided that He had every right to cancel humanity. But then He did something really strange that didn’t make a ton of sense to anyone: instead of canceling humanity, He sent His Son to pay for the sins of the world and offered to cancel forever the sin-debt of those who believe in Him.

Reports indicated that for those who were dead in their sins, “God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.”

However, sources warned that God has canceled humanity once before with water and will do it again with fire one day, for those who reject His offer of canceling their sins forever.

Many of you told us you wouldn’t subscribe until we offered Paypal as a payment option. You apparently weren’t bluffing, so we finally caved and added Paypal. Now — like the unbeliever faced with God’s invisible qualities displayed in nature — you are without excuse.

If Buffy found religion: A Catholic order battles evil in Warrior Nun trailer

If Buffy found religion: A Catholic order battles evil in Warrior Nun trailer

https://ift.tt/3d98cYb

Alba Baptista stars as Ava in the Netflix adaptation of Ben Dunn’s comic series Warrior Nun.

A young woman wakes up in a morgue and finds she now carries an embedded divine object in her back. Not only has it brought her back from the dead, but she now has superpowers and a new mission to fight hell on Earth, in Warrior Nun, a forthcoming fantasy drama from Netflix, based on the comic series by Ben Dunn.

The first issue in the manga-style comic book series, “Warrior Nun Areala,” debuted in 1994. The series features Sister Shannon Masters, a modern-day crusader for the Catholic Church’s (fictional) Order of the Cruciform Sword. In the series mythology, the Order dates back to 1066, when a young Valkyrie woman named Auria converted to Christianity. Renamed Areala, she selects a new avatar every generation to carry on her mission of battling the agents of hell. Sister Shannon is the Chosen One. It’s like Buffy the Vampire Slayer got religion.

Dunn has said he was inspired to create the series after learning, via a New York Times article, about the Fraternity of Our Lady, which established a chapter in Harlem in 1991 to run a soup kitchen. One of the nuns, Sister Marie Chantel, trained in the martial arts (judo and tae kwon do), and many of her fellow nuns also practiced self-defense, albeit mostly for sport. Dunn envisioned a world with nuns as superheroes, where heaven and hell are real dimensions. It’s a fun series, because it’s not Catholic proselytizing, despite the Christian themes and the nuns’ sincere faith—unlike those infamous Jack Chick tracts and comic books. (I grew up reading the Crusader series, which honestly explains a lot about my rather warped psyche.)

There had been some preliminary work on a possible film, updated for the modern world, but then Netflix acquired the TV rights, and those plans were shelved. Simon Barry (Continuum, Van Helsing) signed on as series creator and showrunner, while Counterpart producer Amy Berg serves as a consulting producer and penned two of the S1 episodes. Oh, and all the episode titles are Bible verses, because why not?

Sister Shannon isn’t dominant in this adaptation—per IMDB, she only appears in a couple of episodes, played by Melina Matthews. Instead, the show focuses on a young woman named Ava (Alba Baptista). Tristan Ulloa plays Father Vincent, Sylvia De Fanti plays Mother Superion, and Joaquin de Almeida plays Cardinal Duretti.

Per the official synopsis:

Caught in the middle of an ancient war between good and evil, a young girl wakes up in a morgue with inexplicable powers. Her search for answers brings her to The Order of the Cruciform Sword, a secret society of warrior nuns sworn to protect the world from evil. While juggling her responsibilities as the chosen one with the normal obstacles of a teenage girl, this mysterious fantasy drama is full of mystery, action, adventure, and teenage romance, proving our main character might fight in the name of good, but she’s no angel.

The trailer opens with Ava’s voiceover, explaining how she’s dreamt of being dead for her entire life, leaving her body and viewing it from above, relieved that she looks like a normal girl. “Until I wake up and realize I’m still the freak I’ve been my whole life.” But life, as she observes, “has a really effed-up way of making your dreams come true.” She is dead—at least until the Order revives her as the new Chosen One. It looks like she slays a demon pretty soon after being revived, too. Buffy would be so proud.

Father Vincent gives her a rundown of the Order’s history: it’s a group of “devout women who have dedicated their lives to fighting an ancient evil. Whoever bears the halo is the champion.” That halo has been absorbed into Ava’s back, giving her superpowers—apparently enhancing whatever natural abilities she already possesses. There’s just one problem: Ava isn’t particularly devout, something that rankles the cardinal: “How did our greatest weapon against evil end up in an unbeliever?”

But perhaps the halo knows best. Plot details remain appropriately vague, but we do see a woman named Jillian Salvius (Thekla Reuten) announce the dawn of a new Age of Enlightenment: “Heaven exists, and I discovered a gateway to it.” And we meet Ava’s sisters in arms: Sister Beatrice (Kristina Tonteri-Young), Shotgun Mary (Toya Turner), Sister Lilith (Lorena Andrea), and Sister Camila (inexplicably not listed among the cast).

So, mystical portals to heaven (and/or hell)? Check. Badass nuns steeped in the martial arts? Check. A hot young love interest for Ava? Check. Lots of demon slaying and a bit of comic relief? Check. Warrior Nun debuts on Netflix on July 2, 2020. It could make for an entertaining holiday-weekend binge.

Laravel Intellisense Plugin for Visual Studio Code

Laravel Intellisense Plugin for Visual Studio Code

https://ift.tt/37pDYiy

Laravel Intellisense is a Visual Studio Code plugin by Mohamed Benhida that provides some nice auto-completion for things like Eloquent models, factories, config, and API resources.

The thing I appreciate about this plugin is support for things like config(), view(), and other areas of Laravel you’d typically not have auto-completion for in most editors, but could save a decent amount of time context switching between the database and code.

Here’s the full list of features:

  • Resource Autocompletion
  • Eloquent Autocompletion
  • Factory Autocompletion
  • View Autocompletion
  • Config Autocompletion
  • Route Autocompletion

What’s nice about this plugin is that it provides help for things unique to Laravel developers: editor help around your model data. The plugin provides auto-completion by using an app’s database connection to get model attributes.

For example, let’s say you need to write a factory for a newly created model. With the current version of Laravel, you need to reference database fields in a migration class, a database table, or perhaps a PHPDoc field names to see what’s available.

If Visual Studio Code isn’t for you, Blueprint might mitigate some of the need for this auto-completion by generating various files from a centralized configuration file. You could also benefit from using both Blueprint and Laravel Intellisense together, I just want to point out that there are multiple ways to manage the mundane parts of files and code around application data.

Another solution might be the Laravel Populated Factory plugin, but that only helps with factories.

I typically manage a list of @property-read values in the model class documentation (which serves as a helpful reference and auto-completion for model attributes), but that doesn’t help with auto-completion when trying to fill out factory array keys.

The View completion is another added benefit that allows you to avoid manually looking up files as often:

PhpStorm doesn’t provide auto-complete using the helper function, however, it does support auto-complete with the @include directive within Blade files.

Learn More

You can download this plugin by visiting laravel intellisense in the Visual Studio Marketplace. The source code is available on GitHub at simoebenhida/laravel-intellisense.

Detect AdBlocker With Javascript And Increase Website Ads Revenue

Detect AdBlocker With Javascript And Increase Website Ads Revenue

https://ift.tt/2YgQzjX

Hello fellas! In this article, I will show you how to detect if the browser has AdBlocker plugins enabled. If it’s enabled then how to request your website visitors not to block ads and increase your Ads Revenue.

Code is available in GitHub @ Detect AdBlocker

We will cover

  1. Don’t Add Too Many Ads In Between Content
  2. Don’t Block Whole Website Until They Disable AdBlock
  3. Implementing With Example

Prerequisites

Very basic knowledge of HTML & Javascript.


1) Don’t Add Too Many Ads In Between Content

Adding Ads might be the main income for you to run website, I totally understand. But keep in mind not to add too much Ads in between the content it might be very distracting or piss of your viewers.

Your content might be great but you will loose viewers who constantly come to your website.


2) Don’t Block Whole Website Until They Disable AdBlock

I have seen couple of websites where they totally block the content till the user doesn’t disable the ads which is totally not a good idea for website owners. I know I can feel your pain, but as wisely said “customer is the king” .

Instead you can show some alert text for your viewers to disable the ads. Believe me at least 80% of them will definitely support you if you really have good content for them 🙂


3) Implementing With Example

Oh! Boy enough blabbering. Lets get start with implementation.

Following is the project folder structure:

index.html
assets/
    js/
        blockadblock.js 
        checkads.js 

index.html – Here we will add normal content along with alert text when viewer uses adblocker

blockadblock.js (Not Required If We Use CDN link) – Its just the library file which is included locally as I use cache in my website. So need to pull too many times. Even we can use CDN over here to avoid including this file.

checkads.js – In this file we will detect the adblocker. Surely we can add it in index.html file but as your project increases it will be bit cumbersome to mange it.

Javascript Library Used

We are using FuckAdblock javascript library for implementation

CDN Usage

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fuckadblock/3.2.1/fuckadblock.min.js" integrity="sha256-3zU5Lr4nIt3K/BgGOQMduajtZcPV9elIM/23RDXRp3o=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

If the above script doesn’t work for you then please use this URL to get the new script tag Fuck AdBlock.

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>AdBlocker Demo</title>


    <style>
        #adblock-alert{ display: none; }
        #adblock-alert .alert{ padding: 20px; background: red; border-radius: 4px; colour: #fff; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="adblock-alert">
        <div class="alert">
            Good content takes time and effort to come up with. <br><br>
            Please consider supporting us by just disabling your <strong>AD BLOCKER</strong> and reloading this page again.
        </div>
    </div>
    <p>This is simple page.</p>

    
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fuckadblock/3.2.1/fuckadblock.min.js" integrity="sha256-3zU5Lr4nIt3K/BgGOQMduajtZcPV9elIM/23RDXRp3o=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

    
    <script src="./assets/js/checkads.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

We need to display adblock alert only when adblocker is detected. Hence hide the adblock alert content using display:none CSS.

Observe the following javascript code in above index.html file.

CDN Library

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fuckadblock/3.2.1/fuckadblock.min.js" integrity="sha256-3zU5Lr4nIt3K/BgGOQMduajtZcPV9elIM/23RDXRp3o=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>


<script src="./assets/js/checkads.js"></script>

checkads.js

function adBlockNotDetected() {
    var adContent = document.getElementById('adblock-alert');
    adContent.style.display = 'none';
}



function adBlockDetected() {
    var adContent = document.getElementById('adblock-alert');
    adContent.style.display = 'block';
}



if(typeof fuckAdBlock !== 'undefined' || typeof FuckAdBlock !== 'undefined') {
    
    
    adBlockDetected();
} else {
    
    var importFAB = document.createElement('script');
    importFAB.onload = function() {
        
        fuckAdBlock.onDetected(adBlockDetected)
        fuckAdBlock.onNotDetected(adBlockNotDetected);
    };
    importFAB.onerror = function() {
        
        
        adBlockDetected(); 
    };
    importFAB.integrity = 'sha256-xjwKUY/NgkPjZZBOtOxRYtK20GaqTwUCf7WYCJ1z69w=';
    importFAB.crossOrigin = 'anonymous';
    importFAB.src = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fuckadblock/3.2.1/fuckadblock.min.js';
    document.head.appendChild(importFAB);
}

We are enabling or disabling the adblock alert text with the following functions. You will be able to see it in the above code

function adBlockNotDetected() {
    var adContent = document.getElementById('adblock-alert');
    adContent.style.display = 'none';
}



function adBlockDetected() {
    var adContent = document.getElementById('adblock-alert');
    adContent.style.display = 'block';
}

Using blockadblock.js Instead Of CDN

Copy and paste this URL FuckAdblock in your browser. It will show the minified code, copy and paste this code in blockadblock.js file. Once you add it you need to include in your index.html file as follows

<script src="./assets/js/blockadblock.js"></script>


<script src="./assets/js/checkads.js"></script>

NOTE: Once you disable your adblock make sure to reload the page. Else the changes made wont take affect

The following is how your website looks when adblock is detected

The following is how your website looks when adblock is not detected
