I feel like if countries’ leaders weren’t dumb as shit, they’d work to fix healthcare, education, and the economy, as that would have a much larger positive impact than a dating app.

Sure, I’m not under the impression that the solution is simple or quick. Still worth working towards improvements anyways though, don’t you think?

Lmao Jesus Christ. You know I mean “people who know better than to both-sides someone being assaulted”, sorry for trying to be succinct. Won’t make that mistake again, Private Pedantic 🫡

I don’t know. I don’t know much about apartment ownership, it’s not really an option where I live, so I don’t know much about the process.
Do I need to have a solution for improving a process in order to recognize that the process needs improvement though?

A lot of victim blaming in these comments, which I find pretty surprising on a platform that’s supposed to be crawling with leftists and socially liberal people

Definitely not trying to make any commentary on the quality of your friendship, my bad if you took it that way, but that wasn’t my intent. I’m glad you and your friends came to an arrangement that worked well for everyone.
I worded my comment poorly in a way that forced my ideals onto you, which I shouldn’t do. I should have just expressed that renting is something I personally disagree with and wouldn’t do if I could avoid it. I shouldn’t try to fit everyone into my mold or my way of thinking though, sorry for doing that to you.

You paid a mortgage payment (and then some) and only received shelter, when you should have received shelter and equity in the home. Are you trying to say your friends did you a favor?
It’s nice that your friends didn’t screw you I suppose, and maybe your friends will give you a payout proportional to the amount you paid towards their mortgage when they sell the home, but until that happens, you did them a favor, not the other way around.
- Comment on Landlords are parasites 1 week ago:
If short term apartment ownership is unattractive because of the hassle of buying and selling, we should look to reduce that hassle, not replace ownership with a parasitic financial relationship.

People that legitimately judge people based on their pizza topping preferences are on the same level of emotional intelligence as those who refuse friendships with people who root for a rival sports team

“not operational” as in “construction is not complete”, sure, but they were able to start testing at that facility in 2024, and it will be complete and ready for full operational use in 2026. Just because other storage facilities didn’t work out in the past doesn’t mean new ones are doomed as well. This project has been in development for a few decades now, and they’re learning from all those previous mistakes.

I used to like Limp Bizkit because I thought they were funny, like in a crude, fart joke kind of way. Then I saw them at a festival where they refused to start their set until the video crew shut off the stage feed, you know, basically the only way people at the back of the crowd or in accessible seating could see wtf was going on onstage. Later on in the show, they also got pissed at the people in the accessible seating area for not standing up. I no longer like Limp Bizkit, even in the crude, fart joke kind of way.

I mean yeah, sure, maybe. You’re making some pretty lofty claims based on a philosophical thought experiment about a phenomenon we still don’t really understand though.

When one dirty plate go on top of other dirty plate, bottom of plate get dirty too. OP no like making bottom of plate dirty, so no stack plate.

Absolutely, definitely, totally, 100% incorrect. Just because I only provided one source does not mean that that’s the only source available claiming that Yaweh originated in a pantheon. To suggest that is laughably disingenuous, and more proof that you’re not approaching this discussion seriously or with honesty.
History isn’t replicable and observable like chemistry, physics or biology
Your close-minded definition of “history” isn’t, because it doesn’t allow you to update and believe new things based on new scientific discoveries and evidence. It’s stagnant, stuck in the past, rigid, and unwilling to change.

Yeah see this is how I know you’re not serious. The author of that article isn’t “some guy”, he’s an incredibly respected and accomplished historian and archaeologist, specializing in ancient near-east civilizations. And you couldn’t be bothered to read past the first paragraph. You don’t want to have an actual discussion about this.

The entire thing is contradictory, on purpose, to give people excuses to commit atrocities in the name of their “kind and loving” God

I’m not gonna link a source, but here’s some chapters from the good book itself:
Acts 5, God kills Ananias and Sapphira for withholding too much of their taxes. Seems like an overreaction for the new forgiving, loving, kind God.
Acts 12, God strikes down King Herod for accepting praise or some shit, which is similar to the egotistical, vengeful, immature punishments the God of the old testament frequently handed out.
Jesus (who is also God) throws some incredibly immature and irresponsible super-powered toddler tantrums, like in Mark 11 where he curses a fig tree for not bearing fruit when he was hungry, even though it was out of season, and in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus forces demons to possess a bunch (like, thousands) of pigs that just happen to be nearby, causing them all to cast themselves off a cliff and die. Jesus suggests/condones rape as a punishment in multiple instances, which is pretty fucked up, but is consistent with the whole “the sexual punishment fits the sexual “crime”” motif you see all throughout the New Testament. Jesus himself isn’t just the peace-loving, love-thy-neighbor hippie they try to portray him as - in Matthew 10 he says “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword”, basically acknowledging and condoning religious violence. Very like, un-kumbayah of him, man.
Pick a page from Revelation, that whole book is basically just God bringing about the apocalyptic end times in increasingly violent and cruel ways, including killing people a second time by tossing them into a lake of fire for not being Christian enough to make it onto his nice list.
The continued existence of hell is a big one for me as well. You’d think a truly loving, kind, and forgiving God would get rid of the eternal damnation spirit torture prison. He also doesn’t end other universally-accepted-as-immoral practices like slavery, but instead doubles down on it in Ephesians, Colossians, and probably a bunch of other places. All in all, the God of the new testament is just as much of a bastard as in the old, he’s just hiding behind his new son (who is also a bit of a bastard, but maybe a tad less so, so people accept it).

I feel like y’all are forgetting about all the heinous shit God does in the new testament. Just because he’s not all up front fire and brimstone about it doesn’t mean he isn’t still an evil bastard in the new book
