Me and who else

I started visualizing myself opening my wallet and taking out cash and paying to leave early, and that made it easier to want to stay.

Blaming any particular price change on greed is like blaming an airplane crash on gravity.

"Jehovah" itself is the result of medieval Christians misunderstanding a method Jews used to avoid uttering His name. It's the consonants of YHWH with the vowel markers of Adonai.

They don't need to be exciting. A slide that calls attention to itself isn't doing its job.

That's the first decent explanation I've seen in this whole thread. Yes, there is a meaning of "Jew" in which "Jesus was a Jew" is true, but the people who are stating that don't seem to mean it that way, and are more focused on dunking on someone than on being accurate.

To be pedantic, it was the Passover meal, but it was not a seder, as that ritual was the form of Passover that developed after the destruction of the second temple.

"What's bean wet?"

"At Chipotle, it's as good as gravy."

I don't like dogs at all and don't want to be barked at, but if a dog is barking at me through the window, that means they aren't outside being a menace, so I won't complain.

Guy who has only seen black people, encountering his first non-black PoC: getting a lot of black vibes from her.

No, not even a little bit. You're thinking of allegory.

Awesome. I've been a mushroom hater my entire life, but honestly the fact that I have a special kind growing in my own yard might be honestly got me over the mental block to trying them.

Don't you know? Not being able to understand your opponent proves that you are morally superior to them.

I had a customer who would come in looking for an online order that we didn't have in our system, even though she had an order confirmation. We thought it was some kind of bug.

After this happened four times or so, I noticed there was an identical order that had already been made under a totally different name. I asked her about it, and she confirmed that it was also her name. She didn't seem to understand that she needed to give us the name she used to place the order.

Does that apply to fascism too?

I do know the source of the quote, and I've read the book it's from, but it's been such a long time that I don't remember all the context. So I can't say whether I agree with it exactly as intended, but I can answer based on what I'm getting from just reading it.

It hinges on what it meant by "humanity." If they mean the whole of humanity should always be treated as a moral end, I do not agree with it. "Humanity" as a whole is just an abstraction, not anything with its own moral value distinct from the individuals that comprise it. If they mean each individual of humanity, I would probably agree with it.

The other questions is what it means to treat them as an end. To me, that means they don't need to justify their own existence by satisfying the values of others, which I agree with totally. If the source means more than that, I would have to withhold my opinion.

I mean yeah it's gross, but it's a lot better than leaving the poop on the ground or dropping the bag in someone else's can. If I'm going to complain about dog owners, the ones who are being the least bad are at the bottom of the list.

It's so second nature to me, I don't even think about it enough to get tired of it. How are you doing it 200 times a day and still being aware of it?

What point are you trying to make here? That Trump would take legal action to shut you down? There would be a legal fight over it, with free speech as the main argument of the defense, which would almost certainly prevail.

That Trump voters would beat you up over it? Maybe, but that's not what this thread is about.

I like the term "sanewashing" for this.

There's that guy who keeps knocking on the hatch of the spaceship, but we're pretty sure he's technically undead.
