  You can’t use logic based on a belief and simultaneously write it off as mythology if you want to be logically consistent. You first assert that Christianity is mythology, but then reference Christianity itself to “prove” that people who believe in it are sinners, framing them in terms of the belief that you just asserted was false. Your whole thing is nonsensical.

  Well your logic doesn’t do much to prove your assertion…

  There are still cultural norms where you live. Probably even some that would be offensive in your country but not in the United States.

  Stevia leaves a disgusting after taste and is an immediate deal breaker for me in any drink.

  That’s a fair question. It’s mostly just my observation, but if I were obligated to guess, it is partially filtering based on the types of people who are active and readily express their opinions on various topics, but also because of the reasons people moved to lemmy in the first place, many of whom were evicted from reddit because they were too extreme.

  There are a lot of people, especially on lemmy, who see everything through the lens of their personal ideology and utterly lack the ability to empathize or understand different views or life situations. You only matter to them insofar as to how it can advance or support their ideology. It’s pathological, and their views should be ignored.

  Alright

  On lemmy it’s hard to tell the difference between trolls and people who genuinely want blood. I suspect you are trolling, but also suspect that there is a significant number of lemmy users who would actually hope for supreme court justices to be assassinated. This isn’t like a laughy jokey let’s kill our political opposition (“haha!”), but people who are deranged enough, entrenched enough in their positions and world view, and incapable of seeing outside their narrow perspective, that they think this would be a good idea. It’s thinking that would literally lead to destabilization of the United States (“but that’s what we want! Haha!”) and consequently the entire world. Literally the only people who want this are accelerationists and global enemies of the United States.

  It’s more of an assassination in my opinion.

  That wasn’t so hard, was it? People tripping over themselves to find a gotcha and forgetting to use a little common sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay Mad⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fear seems like the go-to strategy when you have the weaker candidate. During the Obama elections, the only thing Republicans could do was try to scare people into voting for them, since they knew they couldn’t beat him. The strategy turns from focusing on the strength of your own candidate to focusing on the flaws of the opposing candidate. Democrats entire strategy at this point is maximizing fear of Trump. Not sure why it’s so hard for them to get rid of Biden and put up a real candidate, but it looks like a flaw in the nomination process.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with politics on lemmy is that it isn’t a discussion at all, but a one-sided circle jerk. Almost every post is some flavor of Right Wing Bad, and any attempt at nuance or calling out hypocrisy results in a sea of downvotes and what appears to be shadow bans. There are no dissenting opinions allowed. If you spend your time consuming heavily moderated and filters content, it’s going to produce anxiety. But more importantly, it isn’t even reality.

  No that’s the whole point of the post

  Never been to Disney, but universal seemed to have pretty enthusiastic and happy staff.
