@Jeff_in_3D well, to be fair, there's a bunch of silly european ideas about burgers like "why not mix egg and bread in" that leads people to mistakenly consider the meatloaf sandwiches that result "burgers" too? meatloaf sandwiches are great, but they're not burgers either.
@ClarkeMicah@YouTube Rather than just brushing off "racism", at some point "the large number of reasonable objections to the behavior of the nation state of israel, both within its own borders and internationally" shoud also be discussed.
@ClarkeMicah I'm curious what you'd make of the idea that the left and right have approximately 'indoor' and 'outdoor' economic orientations? the outdoor ones get the resources and fight off danger, the indoor ones take care of and socialize the babies?
@curioushaggis@Toonfan_Wz "why isn't there concern about british men doing this" -> apparently british culture is enough better than south asian cultures that this is not nearly as prevalent?
@curioushaggis How much more does a left hand care than a right hand? You're attributing "care" that can't actually be attributed, especially given the apocalyptically bad results the left apparently brings to every country it takes over.
@ClarkeMicah Are you aware of historical analogs? There was an era of chinese imperial history where a cumulative of tax laws and changing definitions of "citizen" meaning from "military age" to "at birth" led to a glut of infanticides, for example?
@ClarkeMicah@Brutuscass I'm curious what you make of "Hyper-legalism", where the state grows ostensibly reasonable laws to such an extent that they suffocate the society governed?
@itisprashanth@CMOTamilnadu@narendramodi why is it condemnable to make true and honest observations about the facts (or lack of them) about any god or religion?
@ClarkeMicah@thecommoner1215 This looks like disagreement where the next generation thinks that "what anybody was trying for in the 90's" was "the problem", not "an attempt at solution", largely with no idea what the 90's was actually like and are back-inferring todays political climate onto it.
@ClarkeMicah@cahohal I think the case is actually that most people simply think you to be incorrect here, especially when there are so many OTHER descriptions besides both "catholic" and "protestant" that can be applied to him, like "homosexual" and "maniac" and "philanderer".
Today is the 20 year anniversary of my first year living in Asia. I don't know what else everybody could commemorate today, but pour one out to honor what "finding a good life" has cost you. Even in physics, there is no source of light that does not also generate heat.
@Maximumatheist@madmardy was he racist, or is this just a false accusation attached to anybody who's enough of a fan of christian mythology to offend devotees of the reddit atheism religion?
@KStwosz@michaelmalice It may be considered "a myth" now, but there has been quite a lot of conflicting coverage of this, and meanwhile leaning on VAERS as a counter brings up "the extent to which people studying the topic think VAERS experiences under-reporting", a 40's-1000'sx estimate being average.
@KStwosz@michaelmalice So are you aware that for most of the history of gene therapy medical trials, the problem has been "all of gene therapy causes the generation of endogenous proteins that your body will not clear" that present clinically as "thrombocitis from plaques made of these proteins"?
@tpinnock@KStwosz@michaelmalice What a bummer, I am blocked by somebody who's opinion I find myself also unable to worry about, based on the quality of these interactions.
@tpinnock@KStwosz@michaelmalice You are the closest to an obvious psychopath I have seen in this twitter thread, but I like to think that psychopaths are just morally retarded, the ethical version of "colorblind", and could be taught to reason like the rest of us eventually.
