There’s also the childish desire for an “I told you so” as they watch anyone they don’t like being sent to hell.

I see the same quote in other articles

Yeah, it makes absolutely no sense.

Gay marriage is legal in every state since 2015. Supreme Court ordered it with Obergefell v Hodges

They changed their genre classification tags behind the scenes in 2023, around the time they fired the guy who ran “Every Noise at Once” and ruined almost all value the service had.

Conservatives saw how successful the Disney boycott was, and want to have an equivalent threat.

So is him running for a third term, but his office is filled with “Trump 2028” hats.

Sneak is basically useless with the code patch though. Even with max sneak, iirc the max chances of pickpocketing even like a spoon is ~30%.

Forcing those military generals to sit through a campaign speech showed that the Hatch Act is basically dead.

So when the AI bubble burst, will there be coding jobs available to clean up the mess?

The only part of the religion that matters is the part that lets them treat women as sex slaves anyways.

Conservatives love playing the victim.

Trans women existing = an attack on all women existing

Not being allowed to pressure children into praying at school = being denied religious freedom

Why choose that stuff to follow but ignore the mixed cloth and tattoo parts?

The mixed cloth and tattoo parts are from the Old Testament, which many Christians believe was superseded by the sacrifice of Christ. A new covenant - Abraham didn’t sacrifice Isaac, but God sacrificed his son. No longer a need to sacrifice in the temple, no longer a need to follow dietary laws.

There’s nothing in the text of the Bible that justifies a “pro life” position. The only part that mentions abortion is an Old Testament verse about forcing a woman who is suspected of cheating to drink something that will cause an abortion.

The language used by Paul in the New Testament about gay men is ambiguous and could easily be interpreted to only prohibit pedophilic sex.

Several of “Paul’s” letters in the New Testament are known forgeries. It’s very easy to “pick and choose” to reject those. One could even reject Paul entirely.

It’s a text written in multiple different ancient languages. It’s not cut and dry always that “the Bible says this.” (Same with other ancient texts - most translations of the I Ching are absolutely bonkers in how they look nothing alike.)

Even if someone would want to call themselves a “literalist,” there’s clearly poetry and figurative language. I don’t think anyone has baby dear for mammaries.

You cannot flatten Christianity like this. The fundamentalist interpretation/“Biblical literalist” interpretation is really a product of the 19th century (as is fundamentalist Islam - these are both tied to more widespread literacy in the world). It’s not one coherent ideology you can throw r/atheism logical “gotchas!” at.

A lot of shit that is part of mainstream Christianity isn’t even biblical. The Satan and hell most imagine is more from Milton and Dante than it is from the text of the Bible.

Religions aren’t their texts - even the ones that purport to be. They’re centuries of folk traditions and interpretations stacked on those ambiguous texts.

If you hold a single text to be the very word of your god

Which not all Christians do. There are many who believe to be the words of human beings, just divinely inspired or significant.

I feel like Disney has internal stuff? I listened to a podcast where an ex employee changed the fonts on a bunch of stuff to be wingdings, etc, and made everything unusable.

Kanopy is a streaming service my local library has, and it’s great for documentaries, foreign films, and older movies.

A 2018 report from the Indiana Maurer University School of Law, along with a subsequent report in the UCLA Journal of Gender and Law, found that, based on accounts of former inmates, it was common for trans women placed in men’s prisons to be assigned to cells with aggressive cisgender male cellmates to maintain social control and to, as one inmate described it, “keep the violence rate down”. Trans women used in this manner are often raped daily. This process is known as “V-coding”, and has been described as so common that it is effectively “a central part of a trans woman’s sentence”.

Eight states have ID verification laws.

Oklahoma has tried several times to make viewing porn a felony.

Everyone laughing this off as impossible is not taking this seriously enough.

Med schools should accept more than 2% of applicants.

The problem is a lack of residencies, and there’s been lobbying to keep the number of residencies low, to keep doctor wages high.

The real issue is that mental health in the United States is an absolute fucking shitshow.

988 is a bandaid. It’s an attempt to pretend someone is doing anything. Really a front for 911.

Even when I had insurance, it was hundreds a month to see a therapist. Most therapists are also trained on CBT and CBT only because it’s a symptoms focused approach that gets you “well” enough to work. It doesn’t work for everything, it’s “evidence based” though in that it’s set up to be easy to measure. It’s an easy out, the McDonald’sification of therapy. Just work the program and everything will be okay.

There really are so few options for help.

Nuremberg was a failure anyway. They gave the Nazis the easiest fucking trials ever.

I’m afraid that the outcome will be the same here. That the ICE goons will live quiet lives after this. There will be no reckoning - that the desire to move on and forget all of this will override the desire to punish. That we will rn more “fair” to them than they are to the immigrants they round up.
