@C2thaL2thaIGG Yes. But then I have the privilege of living outside the US and not having a dog in the fight in these crazy race wars you've got going on. Its scary seeing so many people defending a murderer just because he happens to have the same skin colour as them. What's the solution here?
@moonemperoryang@DanteHendo4188@tantehenia Other people don't need to hear it, you need to hear it.
There are professional services to help you deal with these psychological issues. Therapy is a starting point. That's what you should be doing, not hanging out on Twitter.
@JossSheldon@omnissiuntone@PLee78 Joss -
You are correct, austerity was a policy choice, and it was wrong. Gutting mental health services and policing was wrong.
But mass migration is also wrong.
It's not one or the other.
@moonemperoryang@DanteHendo4188@tantehenia This is very dark to read.
Human beings are human beings. Just because other people are hateful doesn't mean you have to be too.
Please seek some professional help working through these feelings
@RyanShead These people are both subhuman scumbags, there's no doubt about that. But the difference is, as much of a piece of shit that Rittenhouse is, when he killed people, it was in self defense.
@_LaJanee_ So glad I don't live in the US. It's insane to watch a huge number of people on social media defend a guy so clearly guilty of a horrific murder of a 17 year old boy, just because they have the same colour skin as the perpetrator. I literally do not have the words. Sickened.
@BenjaminPDixon How you can call yourself a pastor and be quite happy at the idea of someone killing another person just because of the colour of their skin is disgusting.
There is zero chance you'd be saying these things if the races were reversed.
Absolute scumbag.
@5Pillarsuk LGBT Muslims exist, sorry.
You want all British Muslims to adhere to your literalist interpretation of the Quran, and you're panicking because you can feel the tide changing.
Well sorry, you don't define Islam.
@housewelf Because it's their day, not yours, so their preferences are what matter?
I wouldn't want kids at my wedding, I don't like them, I didnt want kids myself, I find them irritating and they ruin events they're at.
Here's an idea, get a baby sitter and enjoy the day off π€¦ββοΈ
@herandrews Thank you for this valuable contribution Helen. Not enough people will be candid on these issues in this way, despite the fact it's sorely needed.
@Mortar_Mike@MaximallyCenter@sola_chad in their own time. In other words- food for thought.
This is a good hypothetical question because it highlights that all people instinctively know that a baby and a fetus/embryo are wildly different - even if they espouse the idea that they're not. It's a starting point.

@Mortar_Mike@MaximallyCenter@sola_chad open access to top scientists, medical doctors etc. Not one changed their view on vaccines.
So all right thinking people can do to those stuck in these toxic bubbles is to introduce alternative ideas, and then let people make their OWN way to the answers,

@Mortar_Mike@MaximallyCenter@sola_chad If you have the option to save a single X or one hundred Ys and you choose the X, then yes, you're implicitly saying an X has more value (magnitudes more, in face) than a Y.
@Strelnikov_II@girl_farm21611@jwsherrod@McJuggerNuggets It's clear that a newly fertilised egg cell cannot in any capacity have conciousness, thought, feeling, self-awareness or continuity of these things. The best science right now (looking at eg brain activity) suggests this might start around 24 weeks, but more likely later.

@Strelnikov_II@girl_farm21611@jwsherrod@McJuggerNuggets You'll note I said "science and ethics" because you need both here.
Ethically, I think that a 'being' is defined by continuity of conciousness (among other things, but this is the big one). The role of the science is to tell us how this exists, and when it doesn't.
