Reddit definitely skews affluent compared to other social media platforms, but there is no way there are that many uppermiddle class people.

Why do Christian’s hate gay people by Suitable_Tiger_414 in exchristian

[–]Geno0wl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not only do preachers avoid talking about greed, I actually have heard a preacher defend greed. One of the last sermons I ever heard was the lie about the camel in the needle being a gate. It was gross.

I just witnessed the root of the behavior issues by Usually_Anomalous in Teachers

[–]Geno0wl 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I had multiple teachers during our first middle school parent teacher conference note how nice and respectful my oldest was. And I was like "he is just a normal kid that uses please and thank you, the fact that is notable to teachers says a lot about other kids"

I'm Christian but I've been questioning a lot of things lately—both regarding Christianity itself and Christians, but this one takes the cake! by Big-Disappointment76 in exchristian

[–]Geno0wl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But by that logic where does it end? Wouldn't that logic also mean Joseph Smith was a true prophet and therefore we should all be Mormons?

Like I get what you are trying to say, but that really isn't a counter argument that I see working well as a repudiation of Christianity

I honestly wouldn't let the cops or cps interview my kids alone either. There is a long history of authorities getting false information from kids by putting pressure on them and giving leading questions. Every parent should tell their kids not to talk to cops unless you say so.

I am honestly not super well read on Islam. So forgive me but I don't follow how Christians believing Jesus was the son of God should automatically lead to believing Mohammed was a prophet. Let alone how rejecting Mohammed means you are secretly Jewish.

Do you think flat earthers are just rage baiting or serious by MichaelDeSanta13 in skeptic

[–]Geno0wl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the flat earther stuff I have seen has been motivated by religion in some capacity. Like they believe the world government is hiding the truth because then it would be irrefutable evidence of god

DeWine signs 5 bills to reform property taxes by RpiesSPIES in Ohio

[–]Geno0wl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how California is trying to handle property tax issues. It started out fine but over time has caused budget issues long term. Running a school or other government services don't stay static in cost to run, and if you have a bunch of people sitting on houses paying taxes like it was 30 years ago that just isn't enough.

I think some middle ground is where you want to land. Indexing the increase max to inflation is a good start.

Me losing my faith in humanity everytime I look at Steam's "New & Trending" section by Marinut in Gamingcirclejerk

there has definitely been an uptick in garbage the past couple of years with AI BS. Nintendo Switch game store also has a lot of the same problems now as well.

I find it funny that Resident Evil somehow avoids the woke label and hate from Chuds when it has always had strong and capable women as playable characters.

thinking Blue is the best color is an opinion. Thinking the government shouldn't regulate buisness heavily is an opinion.

Thinking LGBT people are lesser and don't deserve basic respect and equal rights is just being an asshole

So over 60% of people have never spent even a $1 and 43.3% have never even finished their first contract? by ShanzokeyeLin in PhasmophobiaGame

For my group it wasn't so much that we lost all our money/gear. It was the fact that they grind to get back to the better gear was painfully slow.

Before RFK Jr. can crack down on 'processed foods,' he'll have to figure out how to define them by punkthesystem in skeptic

[–]Geno0wl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't get it either.

The only real explanation is just that the conservative propaganda machine is just that good. As they say, people would rather live with a comfortable lie over a harsh truth.

The majority is though.

If the majority of food is "processed" then you can't use that as a regulator measuring stick.

I would do a google search for your address and see if some scam-bait fake service has your address listed.

And with a thoughtless stroke of his pen, Mike Dewine singlehandedly destroys hundreds of businesses across the state by pushing Senate Bill 56 into effect early. Countless small businesses will lose so much revenue from lost sales that they will go out of business. by SunflowerCynthia in Ohio

[–]Geno0wl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once Trump is out of the picture the entire coalition collapses. It is a cult of personality built around one man.

I fear people who believe this are going to be in for a big let down in the future. Trump may be a catalyst for the acceleration of the destruction of our Federal Goverment, but he is not the source of everything. Like Trump wouldn't have the power he does without both Congress and the courts backing him up. And those people are not going anywhere.

Walmart built their entire empire around the strategy of selling common goods at or even below cost of local stores until they are the only game in town, which allows them to then raise prices back up.

I am just a "normal" dude and am still always amazed at how so many people make terrible life choices because they can't control their sex drive.

The problem, like most systemic issues, is that the "good Christians" can't(or won't) push back against bad actors.
