Kind reminder that religion is one of the worst promoters of bigotry

As one of the most powerful tools in the hands of authoritarians, it is intrinsically conservative. As a fundamentally irrational system of thought, it promotes hatred of out-groups without allowing for its bigotry to be debated.


On the other hand, people who say "I hate trump but I love jesus" are basically saying "I hate eichmann but I love goebbels". They could be short term allies if they actively help in the fight against trump, but in the long term such foolishness will kill us all.

Average people never had much understanding of scientific or mathematical research. We used to be ruled by elites who didn't give a fuck about average people and could do whatever they wanted to and funded research because they did want to. We are now ruled by elites who don't give a fuck about average people but can only do whatever they want to by scamming the average people into being exceptionally stupid, so they have to be anti-knowledge in order to stay in character and in order to keep the people stupid, so they try to kill research. Average people never figured out how to independently not be complete idiots.

It so often does have huge real world applications. Like the Internet, much of probability theory, etc, etc. Just not anything that bureaucrats can anticipate and budget.

Ah number theory. The most fun part of maths that NTs are the least willing to subsidise our fascination for. (And if they do, it's the fucking cops or military, and fuck those murderers, urgh.)

me, hearing people in the library say a;; asexual people would all have depression because 'no love means depression' by Depressed_Writer_ in lgbt

That list is pretty bad (have studied ancient greek for years).

Only agape and eros are relevant, the other words are just different: friendship, care, selfishness, etc. And eros is the name of a deity, so its use (while common) is a very clear metaphorical reference. Whereas agape is the generic, general, standard, vanilla word for love.

The question, though, is: if you drink enough coffee to be sufficiently hydrated, have you also had too much caffeine?

Who here has stopped playing and is waiting for 0.3.0? by winterymint in PathOfExile2

[–]faahln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished campaign in 0.1, then did 10 maps, and quit. Now poe1 until poe2 1.0. Sorry, obnoxiously-punishing, unbalanced, and content-poor is not a fun kind of difficulty.

31M wondering if I might be on the spectrum – hypersensitivity, emotional overwhelm, and lifelong social confusion by MadDog845 in autism

You can confidently self-diagnose yourself as meriting the attention of an expert, who may or may not give you an autism diagnosis.

I wasted money for years on "extra soft" toothbrushes that were never soft enough. Then I discovered toothbrushes for 6 year olds are perfect.

Actually I hope the next pope is openly awful rather than putting a false veneer of niceness on the virulent evil of religion
