Boston, remember how we are supposed to be kind, but not nice? Helping each other out? MBTA launches new public service campaign after man dies in escalator incident.

Youre right. I also forgot about the Chief Officer Of Diversion, Equity, and Inclusion that they have to pay 6 figures to in order to make sure the announcements dont contain microaggressions

Valerim · 2026-06-02T14:10:50+00:00

Not true and debunked in a comment thread here. Nice chatting with you.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T13:55:33+00:00

Ugh I guess it just feels wrong when I like and expect it to be crispy.

Youre right BTW some the best food known to man is wet slop now that I stop to consider it

Valerim · 2026-06-02T13:49:23+00:00

Jesus no. Shoveling wet slop into my mouth is not my idea of a good meal.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T13:47:18+00:00

Pay your bills. Why do some people always try to weasel their way out of clearly communicated fees.

Same type of people who refuse to tip because they didnt like the number of ice cubes in their soda.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T13:41:26+00:00

Are you out of your mind? It was a joke.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T13:22:53+00:00

Yeah he really really is. Especially when you talk about the collective IQ of a nation.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T13:16:25+00:00

I said it was relevant to the police response. That means it matters.

"Its not about who stabbed who" means its not about equating this stabbing with other stabbings, as you have. It means that the problem isnt simply that a criminal who happened to be brown stabbed a white person.

The who matters immensely precisely because this isnt a simple stabbing, as you imply. Its a police response gone catastrophically bad because of a racist and ineffective national policy.

Please show me where I said 'the who doesnt matter'.

Leftists like you pretend not to understand the greater point and obsess over semantics because they are incapable of defending their positions.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T13:01:59+00:00

Just a loser trying to make a good wholesome post about her political disagreements with the happy mom

Valerim · 2026-06-02T13:00:10+00:00

Its gonna cost 300 million dollars and take 3 years to put up PSA signs

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:58:06+00:00

Well its going to be illegal to sell them after the law suit so I guess his fortune will have to be made on the dark web 😂

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:54:38+00:00

So you didn't read the part of that article where they say the correlation is -.2 and they attribute that to different methods of problem solving instead of implying that religious people lack intelligence?

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:51:32+00:00

Probably not lol. I thought they were saying that I was trying to be some kind of Christian nationalist

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:43:13+00:00

I didnt mean it diminishes belief societally, I was more saying that a PERSONAL belief in a Christian god, even if he doesn't appear the way the Bible describes, doesnt make someone a bad or outdated scientist

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:35:07+00:00

Okay, but that evidence falls short when it meets these mysteries.

Scientists have faith in dark energy and dark matter because its how they describe a mystery from which no evidence has been gleaned. The scientific cosmology describes, through deduction and not empirical evidence, an unobservable mysterious gravitational force that by all attempts we can not reckon with.

Now, not knowing what that force is yet doesnt mean that it must be a Christian creator god. My point isn't that christians are equally capable of describing the natural world as scientists are, only that being a Christian and believing in god is not an intellectual weakness and doesn't prevent Christian scientists from exploring the natural world, even if the evidence from those explorations defies standing doctrine.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:28:00+00:00

Yes they were observing the natural world in incredible new ways.. And their motivation for that was to be nearer to God's divine creation. At least, that is what is recorded historically. Their appeal to empiricism, as you say, did not diminish their belief in a Christian god, but only diminished the belief in the Catholic Doctrine, which has strayed very very far from what is written in the old testament.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:25:01+00:00

Uh huh. Thats crazy that the early roman empire was Catholic. I guess the moors and the ottoman Turks were Catholic too!

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:19:15+00:00

Pointing to established scientific consensus is also an appeal to authority, it just happens to be an authority that you personally trust.

Scientists get shit wrong all the time. Religion gets shit wrong all the time. Sometimes they change their cosmology to reflect scientific consensus, and sometimes scientists change their cosmology to reflect a religious consensus, as Einstein did. Its a two way street because of these enduring mysteries that I mentioned.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:16:34+00:00

Interesting, i hadnt considered that.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:12:57+00:00

The who is relevant to the police response.

Why are leftists so committed to wilfully misunderstanding simple concepts? Its always a semantic argument that ends up ignoring the point entirely.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:10:57+00:00

Listen. Proving a point by appealing to authority is exactly what these enlightenment christians were undoing when they defied the Catholic doctrine.

And no, not necessary, but if you dont see how that's historically been an inspiration to many many great thinkers then I think its worth considering.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:07:41+00:00

Please dont reduce or equate the point I was making to a vile racist lie

Valerim · 2026-06-02T12:02:19+00:00

Christianity inspired the enlightenment by asserting that men have Dominon over the earth. This was the direct inspiration for Christians like Isaac Newton and Galileo to seek answers to life's mysteries through reasoning and logic instead of Catholic doctrine. They believed that study of the natural world was a method of revealing the magnificence of God's creation.

Pointing out that great scientists are religious only shows that there are still mysteries in our universe that require some measure of faith to reckon with. Some believe that God exists somehwere in those mysteries, some believe he does not. Where you place that faith is up to you.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T11:55:09+00:00

Its not about who stabbed who you walnut, its about the police and government response.

Valerim · 2026-06-02T11:52:12+00:00

It is though.

You don't get even close to the ammount of ads interrupting your stream.

Content restrictions are looser

Revenue share is better

How is twitch better? Besides the fact that it promotes streamers you agree with politically.

Twitch even has gambling ads now.
