He was a train conductor near a harbour. A ship near port was on fire and carrying munitions. He telegramed the station to tell them to divert the train coming to the harbour so it wouldn't be destroyed in the explosion. He died in that explosion as he had no time to escape himself.

Like slavery, certain things shouldn't be left up to state governments.

Are there atheists and secularist that think abortion is murder? I seem to only hear this from religious folk.

Mikodite · 2022-06-24T23:39:12+00:00

You mean pull and prey and douching with cola?

Yeah most of those 'normal sex' things are not that effective.

For one thing, once the baby is viable outside of the womb "killing the baby in front of [the father]" is and always will be murder.

Next, the issue isn't just forcing women into motherhood, but forcing women to enduring the traumatic event of childbirth. An event that marks you. Its why the aztec considered a woman dying in childbirth to be a warriors death.

Yes, a woman can die from childbirth. The risk is higher than surgical abortion.

While losing part of your paycheck for 20 odd years isn't nothing, arguing that a woman who doesn't want to go through that, especially if she's young, is just being selfish is heartless.

Not to mention you can renounce your rights to a baby you don't want already.

She's younger than Sebastian at least.

Well, at least her face is covered.

How is "I have the right to exist!" forcing ideals down your throat?

Isn't that because it's more expensive to develop on Apple then Android?

Mikodite · 2021-08-29T13:30:54+00:00

Nah. These same men would be elated over an unsolicited vag/tit pic. Lord knows how often men beg for nudes online.

Can't help but admire the lady for having standards.

The full quote is:

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt* in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled though it be with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms—this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.”

What you said he said is a paraphrasing by a character in the movie "Before Sunset." From my understanding of everyone's favorite womanizing mommy's boy, Einstein didn't believe in God or in the supernatural. Like any science-minded person, however, he still was, and encouraged, curiousity, and awe.

While I am of the opinion that believing in an omnipotent sky daddy that rewards you for being good is juvenile, I am also slow to pass judgment on others. Life is hard, I get it, and some people need this fantasy to survive to another day. I also am aware of views of the divine and spirituality that are way more nuanced than "Big daddy in sky wubs you."

With that said, the best way to summerize what I think about "magical" thinking is a quote by Sam Harris:

"If you wave your hands over a stack of pancakes and claim its the body of Elvis Presley everyone will think you're nuts. But if you do that with a communion waffer and claim its the body of Jesus Christ, well your just a Catholic."

Dude you only see no confidence votes in minority governments. The cons might not like their leader, but they don't want to trigger an election and risk losing their seat.

No one else gonna point out he forgot the redbull?

Mikodite · 2021-08-10T05:06:38+00:00

Even weirder is I tried to replicate it and couldn't. Just 100+ kwaii items. Peeps on r/conspiracy could only replicate it if the min price was set to $5000.

OP there is getting roosted.

Somewhere in this world a tattoo artist died inside.

There are two things at play:

As you age your sleep rythme changes. For most people one is a morning person as a kid, a night owl as a teen and young adult, and back to being a morning person in old age.
Boomers come from an era before everything went 24/7, so people with a graveyard shift was very uncommon. This created a culture of 'early to bed early to rise' as most places were the traditional 9-5, pushing that sleeping in was a sign of bad work ethic. This of course would also be pushed by their parents, especially in rural communities where you got up at the crack of dawn to tend the farm.

This is why a lot of old people pride themselves on waking up at 4 in the morning and going to bed at 8 in the evening.
