The paradox of tolerance

Reply in thread

Tolerance is, by its very nature, limited. That's the whole point.

It isn't some sort of ideal, like empathy, where more is better (although there are people, mostly bigots, who want to convince us otherwise), instead it is the result of our moral and ethical positions.

We tolerate what we think is ok, we don't tolerate what we think isn't ok.

Important reasons

Funny thing:

When I read 'Scottish National Party', I immediately thought 'Wow, even right wingers hate Trump'.

Turns out that party is left-wing.

Makes sense for Scotland though, since many Scots want to have their independence.

Fabric softener is a scam

Reply in thread

Sure, but the point is that fabric softener is not necessary.

At the very least in the case of towels (any type), it is actually counter productive, because it makes the towels less absorbent.

On top of that, it means clothes absorb less sweat, which, at first glance, seems like a good thing, until you realise it means your sweat will now stick to your skin longer, because it can't evaporate from your shirt.

Bring them back!!!

Without capitalism, maybe they wouldn't have continued when they found out there wasn't enough DNA for complete dinosaurs.

Or maybe they would have had enough time to think things through, and use safer/more appropriate replacement DNA.

Just spit balling.
