It's so God damned rare these days. Literally the only positive religious group experience I have had my my adult life was the day after the first George Floyd riots, I spent 8 hours on emergency overtime at my dispatch center. The next day I was out in the area and a local mosque decided to go around cleaning up broken glass and boarding up looted stores because "our brothers and sisters are hurting". I wish more people acted that way.

Having had this conversation with literally 300+ hispanic people, never once has a single one had a single positive thought about "latinx". Gendered nouns is literally a large part of their language.

What has 15 actors, 4 settings, 2 writers and 1 plot?

!633 hallmark movies!<

Yeah. If you made it past 10 or so you'd probably live to at least 50, with 60-70 not being common but also far from rare. All those dying kids and babies really bring down the average.

When a company gets that hostile in their design to their paying customers is when I start advocating for flying a Jolly Roger.

You'd be amazed how many people driving daily don't and have never had a license. Used to be a police dispatcher, shit happens all the damn time.

While I could say my gut/lack of hunkiness/taste but....

I really, really don't want to attract serial killers.

I still can't believe all that BS and with the escapist, losing Yhatzee must be a devastating blow to their value.

You would buy a ticket to Austria not realizing it was the wrong place. I have a very, very stupid cousin who did exactly that.

I think it's more about the spirit and legitimacy of the disagreement. "I checked the numbers and stuff seems fishy" is very different than "Facebook told me essential oils cure cancer and doctors are lizards harvesting our brains". Discussion with people who are also seeking the truth helps. Denial of a point you don't like because Infowars says otherwise doesn't.

Sure. But no system is 100% effective and all of their questions are legit and important to answer. If I got hit by one of these tomorrow I want to know the process for fault, compensation and pathway to improvement are all already done not something my accident is going to landmark.

But that being said, I was a licensing examiner for 2 years and quit because they kept making it easier to pass and I was forced to pass so many people who should not be on the road.

I think this idea is sound, but that doesn't mean there aren't things to address around it.

You know, there's so many people I have tried this with. They just won't stop bringing it up even when it is completely unrelated to what we're doing. One of them told me he feels smart because when that comes up I usually walk away to avoid the endless drama and he took that to mean that his position and opinions had so confounded me that leaving was my only way to respond.

Stuff like "yeah I think religion should be enshrined in the Constitution and everyone should have to live by our rules" and "if women don't want to have kids they should keep their legs closed".

Like, even if I thought engaging had any chance of working it's just such braindead regurgitated Fox talking points that I wouldn't engage anyway. Just waiting for these people to get everything they want and suffer for it.

And get fired without pay. Contractors have some problems of their own, but their contract usually guarantees a certain amount of pay and if they're any kind of smart, specific job duties.

It blows my mind that there are people who think mental recovery from things like this is a simple, easy process. Imagine all the horrors of war without any of the training and purpose of cause that allow you to cope just a bit and most still suffer from severe PTSD from that. She just got more trauma crammed into one week than many will see in their entire lives, with more to come and maybe more previously we don't know about. Her life isn't over, and it could eventually be fine. But it will be different.

Apparently it's pretty common for ren fair people to wear a starfleet badge hidden somewhere and if this happens pull them aside in character, subtly show the badge and rip into them for violating the prime directive.

God damn Talibangelicals and their Shakira law.

Ah yes. The totally normal spontaneous death of a 16 year old completely unrelated to the physical trauma suffered just before. You conservative apologists are always so fast to jump to conspiracy, why not now?

I don't remember where, but I saw a debate over the validity of the Satanic Temple. And one uber religious guy said something like "well if you don't believe in an actual Satan who does?"

To which the other guys just deadpan dropped "Christians".

Still don't quite understand what the first guy was going for there.

Lots of Mexico is in the same boat. Also coke is cheaper than baby formula so there are lots of babies mostly raised on it.
