That’s… disingenuous. Lot of stuff happened between those points, including the murder of homosexuals for the crime of existing.
The LGBT community keeps the fight up because complacency gets our rights taken away. Justice Thomas has explicitly stated that gay marriage is on his list of wrongs* to right. To say nothing of Project 2025.
And to trick them into banning ranked choice voting.
Edit: spelling
There’s an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it’s really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.
If you’re in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.
Four wheels and a motor. How much more simple do you want?
I mean, now that you say it. A little bit.
I’m in a doctor’s office and trying so hard not to disturb everyone around me and it’s not going well.
What you’re not getting is that it being that influential is a bad thing and that it’s time to pull it from its podium. It’s just a religious text and if you’re censoring any religious texts, you should censor all of them.
Fuck that, the wretched thing doesn’t deserve special treatment. There is nothing about the contents of the bible that are worth granting exception for. You want to ban adult themes? I can think of nothing more deserving of such a ban than the oldest book to incorporate rape, divinely ordained murder (all over the place), instructions on how to perform an abortion, incest, and the severly mixed message of “god loves everyone, unless you don’t worship them, then you get tortured forever”.
Upvote for use of real interrobang alone.
Mormonism is like acid-trip-based fanfiction for displaced Europeans to feel included in shit that may or may not have happened in the middle east.
Been a minute since I read these. It’s so telling that the actual crimes start at 6, and move to thought crimes at 9. The rest is god fluffing itself.
Wait. Is scientology related to the abrahamic religions?
I was thinking frame them in a really bad frame that falls on its face all the time. If you have older students, just loudly state how much you would dislike it if the commandments were stolen or otherwise defaced and let nature do its work.
But I like yours.
Sociopathy, lack of long term planning skills, drugs (metaphorical and physical). Some combination of those I suspect.
I’ve no significant opinion of India beyond anti-Modi, and that’s a product of John Oliver. Most of my engineering team are Indian and some I like, some I tolerate. And a fear of Indian traffic by reputation alone.
But you could swap “American” with “Indian” in that first paragraph, change nothing else, and it be largely (if not entirely) accurate.
My grandmother was the county coroner for a while. She was a pharmacist professionally. In those places, it’s more “give it a quick kick and say they’re dead” (she never did that) more than anything else. She only declared death, not attribute cause to my knowledge.
The other part of it is that, for whatever reason, in my county the only higher arresting authority than the sheriff was the coroner. It was her job to serve him with papers when he was being sued and, not that it ever came up, arrest him when it needed done.
Weird system.
Definitely. A bit of a curse of progression. The older generation will be totally ok with things that will be found abominable in the future. My money is on eating non-lab grown meat will be a big one as well as the ones you mentioned. Not saying that the older generation is right here, I’ll take my licks in the future for being in a state that is less than open revolt over the state of things now. Shit is indeed fucked.
Yup. There’s an appeal to a simple job that you can just do and no larger stress beyond the physical. But if that job involves waste of assorted kind, then you gotta pay enough and treat people with dignity.
Very true. I’m behind the US lens on this one so it’s easier to speak from what I experience. I know it’s… bad… elsewhere.
