Guess I was too subtle.
Hail the Omnissiah! Praise be to the machine-god.
Guess I was too subtle.
Not sure how to react to a neo-nazi book club at the local high school doing membership drives though.
Neither group reads books.
There are always going to be people, regardless of society’s guidance and teachings, who are extra susceptible to that kind of shit.
Well aware. Freedom has a price. There will always be people who will eat or lazy themselves into an early grave for example.
People experience the uncaring universe, and our brains struggle to identify the complex and nuanced systems at the root of strife, causing them to look for simpler answers (Jewish space lasers vs. incomprehensible market interactions that over-exploit delicate ecosystems causing droughts). Our brains are set up to tackle problems at smaller scales, and what better way than scapegoating can you reduce a root cause
Right so you personally know the truth and you have a right to stop other people from reading what you think is wrong because people dumber than you might fall for. Is that a good summary?
It’s amazing how you always know you are on the wrong side of history when it comes to this. Did you ban a book? Yes? Ok you know where you are now.
Like everything else there is wiggle room, or you could have been dealing with a no-good alternatives situation, but this one test is absolute. You can make a moral justification for temporary slavery, say your nation is being invaded by people willing to genocide your population and you really need people to work for the war effort. Slavery is often considered the ultimate evil but there still exists situations where you could argue it needs to happen for a little while.
You just can never find a situation where ideas were dangerous and must be abolished from a person’s head. Heresy is always a victimless crime. It does nothing to anyone else that someone commits wrong-think.
I just find this astonishing. Every other sin of the human race there is some crazy horrible circumstances that I can say it has to be this way because as bad as it is not doing it is worse. Except for one.
I am thinking of making themed clothing for my family. Like black and orange stuff for Halloween. What age does everyone think my kids will be too cool for it?
If I got a felony conviction my professional and personal life would never recover.
He tries to pull an Osama and lives in a cave. Gets caught order Uber eats
I am sure Janet Porter would agree.
I personally don’t plan to leave, because I am not in any real danger. Fuck yeah it’s great to be a hetro male on top of the racial-ethic pyramid. 10/10 would recommend.
It’s my multiracial daughters who could be in danger. We are like one bad election way from Republic of Gilead. So yeah I am preparing for the worst, hoping for the best. Have enough money saved up that I can get them on airplane out, keep the passports up-to-date, and working on making sure they got citizenship in my wife’s home country. As for what they would do when they get there my wife’s family well-off, is big, and loves them.
Go ask Lemmy for a refund
My wife holds dual citizenship and her country has many ex-pats so they have right of return laws.
Next month we have an appointment with the embassy with her country as well as the interviews. I also have them in a class where they are learning the language of her country.
Would it be morally wrong for me to make a donation to the Trevor Foundation in her name and send her notification of that fact?
Butt sex I imagine. She kinda looks like a woman who is into some backdoor play.
Not judging, just observing. If she wants me to stop saying that all she has to do is stop thrusting her Christianity on the rest of us.
And yet I can’t buy a kei truck because that is supposedly unsafe.
Can buy a motorcycle, can buy a pedestrian killer, can buy a SUV that seems to beg to want to rollover, but can’t buy a small truck.
Glad I walked away from that garbage faith. I have seriously heard their shamans claim that they can be awful to immigrants because the direct biblical commandments to be nice to immigrants only apply to converts and since most immigrants are Christian they don’t count.
People arguing that you get to treat your own worse. It takes a special kinda fucked up to not even have basic levels of loyalty to your own.
Could just show up to your town’s zoning board meetings and keep hammering them each and every time they turn down a residential permit application
Think I will donate some money and my homemade scarfs to a shelter this weekend. Clearly our Christian government isnt going to help guess it is up to us atheists.
Part of the reason why I am getting my daughters citizenship abroad. One day, I hope that day never ever comes, they might need it.
Well me and my wife are thinking about having another child. Haven’t decided yet. So not getting it done.
If I were pregnant (and presumably had a uterus) I would probably be more likely to seek an abortion knowing that there is now a greater chance I would die giving birth then before.
Before: ok every pregnancy is risky as well as birth there is a small but possible chance things could go badly for me but medical science will do what is required for me to survive including ending the pregnancy even at the last second.
Now: if I need an abortion later I won’t be able to get one and will die. I better go to a state where it is legal and get it done now.
Sure, but at least I am not a book burner.
