I didn't finish the article because I got of reading the same 5 points about "hudurr, humans are dumb and can't conceive of catastrophe" because I don't have a single friend in the real world who isn't harrowingly aware that they will likely be alive when the world becomes uninhabitable, would love to do something about it, but has to put food on the table in the meantime.
It's the world's corporations and governments that are to blame for this, not individual people who just "dont get it".
How would this impact Warsaw Pact countries now part of the EU?
Yeah I think that Mastodon treats Lemmy instances as groups, and when you @ a group it sends your post to everyone else following the group
Exactly! The Court is being used as a tool to permanently constrain American politics for the next 50 years, no matter what party is in power. A year ago, there were legitimate concerns they'd gut American democracy by enabling state legislatures unchecked power to run their own elections, which would have enabled outright single party rule, mask off.
(One could argue that large parts of the US already qualify as a single-party theocratic dictatorship, looking at you Florida)
Ah, shrinkflation
I wonder if that means that he's radicalised recently, or has harboured these beliefs back as an NFL quarterback?
alan fisher or economics explained?
The idea that because it's not flesh and blood, it's not a vital organ, seems to becoming increasingly outdated as it was clear that this woman's life was transformed in a way that enabled her to be more "normal" (there's probably a much nicer way to say that but I'm blanking.)
Removing it should be treated the same as ripping a prosthetic limb away from a patient.
The funny thing is, if you study the history of various religions throughout history, is that when religions have these dogmas they have them to their own detriment. People often have a place or even need for metaphysics and spirituality but reject religions because they have an "all or nothing" approach to them, at least officially.
That said, many people accept their religious texts to be metaphorical and not literal, so even though there's homophobia in Abraham's texts for example, they go "yeah, but that's the characters of the story expressing their homophobia, not the book telling me to be homophobic".
Sorry this was a bit rambling but I genuinely find it sad that religious institutions of the modern era are so thoroughly out of touch yet also seemingly impossible to dismantle, even though at one point many of these religions were subversive, persecuted, and radical and they dismantled previous religions.
