@fadednailpaint Was it only with teachers of the opposite gender?
I don't like touching feet and my parents never taught me, but this is a gender thing.
@squeakee21@MarkGottlieb Is there? It's never made clear with the visuals or by the commentary that because something is within the MoE, we're sticking with the referee's call. That happens often with LBW in cricket.
@squeakee21@MarkGottlieb I know but VAR was introduced to eliminate obvious errors, and I think deferring to the linesman within a margin of error sticks to that spirit.
@shreyabasu003 if you can believe it, VAR is mostly still better than no VAR. except like at the very end of games when it bleeds out excitement and replaces it with anxiety.
@mbeisen In regular European football, VAR takes even longer than it does at the world cup, for equally arbitrary, almost subjective decisions, and is hated for that reason.
Making it a challenge system makes perfect sense.
@Etanarachel Most Muslims do claim that the Quran is perfect for all time and everywhere, and that's a problem when trying to reconcile it with any modern morality.
The materialist explanation you're using (which I agree with) doesn't work with a revealed word of god in general, i think?
@Etanarachel Ahh I see. Yeah it's harder to quantify the embrace of those beliefs over time. And being in a very particular bubble, I might be missing their popularity.
Funny thing is Hinduism includes so much astrology and cultism that I never thought to separate that from religion.
@Etanarachel If you mean in terms of hoping for divine consequences or a final judgement, sure. Though I'm skeptical how many actually believe in it, rather than wish for it (certainly that describes me!)
