The world would be so much better if they stopped being so concerned with what other consenting adults are doing in private.

You have just figured out 40% of GOP insanity right there.
“How does he get to be a pretty woman when I cant? Well I’ll show him!” (the misgendering was intentional and hypothetical to make a point, mods pls)
- Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal 20 hours ago:
I think the more complete question is: Is sexual repression common among conservatives the root of their infantile lashing out against LGBTQ+?

Philosophers of that era spend a lot of time drunk.
I mean who the fuck dies from laughing to death at a donkey eating figs?

Science is only one facet of life where definitions are important, and arguably not even the most daily impactful.
Also science is one of the few arenas with any real interest in a rigorous epistemic framework so that same concept of advancing definitions doesn’t work with social values, political situations, and most media where definitions are changed or co-opted for convenience and leverage rather than objective rhetorical value.
Pretending they do leads to things like ‘we will become more progressive over time as a society’ being accepted as truisms of human nature instead of the long-term efforts of hundreds of thousands of highly motivated and violently targeted individuals working to better the world for people they will never meet.
So yes, rigorous definitions in science is important, and thankfully we have developed many useful frameworks to ensure that no matter where in the world scientists share knowledge that it can be held to certain standards of rigor and objectivity
Literally no other facet of life has that same kind of special protection.

there is no definition that someone can’t fuck up, that’s the point of this exercise, not to find a perfect definition
But as usual 70% of you miss it

It wasn’t funny when Diogenes did it and it isn’t funny now but it keeps getting reposted anyway and we have to pretend it is

The children of indentured servants were eligible to be free citizens
Indentured servanthood had a clearly defined period of service
Freed indentured servants could petition to become full members of the household and inherit the master’s estate.
Being an indentured servant to a prestigious master was a social mark of standing, elevating them in some periods even above free citizens of low standing. Never the case in chattel slavery
Indentured servants and their families were owed damages when the violence was deemed unjust or resulted in permanent damage or death.
- Comment on Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care 2 weeks ago:
Yes I agree it is immoral and detestable and was also the softest option for the day. No other contemporary culture had any protection for indentured servants, yet the Bible demands it at the threat of community judgment against the harsh and cruel masters. And the children of indentured servants were free citizens.
Compared to today it was still brutal and inumane, but was the MOST humane option for literally 3000 years. It’s just not progressive compared to today’s values.
And today’s values won’t seem very progressive to progressive humans in 3000 years either, something you are probably incapable of understanding.
- Comment on Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care 2 weeks ago:
again history proves you wrong, how can you be so deliberately stubborn?
- Comment on Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care 2 weeks ago:
If you take even a few minutes to check you’ll find that most governments older than 300 years were founded on a religious basis, and Rome was a pretty long running empire that was largely based on religion just as one example.
The modern drive for secularism is an outlier in human history, and according to the way the world looks now, secularism is on the way out.
I’m not saying I like the direction its going but there are pretty clear warnings that conservative evagelicalism is becoming as culturally foundational as a thing can be in the coming fascist regime.
You have this smug attitude that stems from your ideological values, and somehow feel saying things like ‘religion bad mmmkay’ is sufficient to turn the world away from the coming regressive religious dark age.
But it isn’t, and really just makes you look foolish.
Humans have a hole in their brains in the shape of rituals and shared language that we neglect because ‘religion just the opiate of the masses amirite?’ and now you are seeing the pendulum swing back.

Incorrect, there wasn’t a single stoning recorded for wearing mixed fibers, that’s just some hokum the ratheist community settled on for some reason

The Bible is big on charity, both OT and NT
Conservative evangelicals just choose to ignore that

I guess you don’t know your history very well…
- Comment on Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care 2 weeks ago:
Can you name 3 differences between chattel slavery and indentured servitude? I can name five but I don’t expect you to be as well researched.

- Comment on Makers of air fryers and smart speakers told to respect users’ right to privacy 2 weeks ago:
An intersection of lawmakers too old to understand the technology and 40 years of neoliberal corporate worship
We are the product, the only important entities in America are corporations now
That is why, because out government worships money and the love of money is the root of many evils.

great job blaming the victims of unchecked capitalism instead of the corporations violating our privacy
