But for every one of them, how many of their peers are still in it? I’m the only one from my generation who got out of my terrible religious upbringing.

That’s because many of them are old enough to remember a time when you were supposed to be quiet about your racism because you knew the rest of society would shame you for it.
Unfortunately, America has never reached the point where a majority of people felt shame about their transphobia, so in their minds it’s okay to be more open about that.
He’s an actor whose biggest role was playing Hercules on a low-budget show on a third-tier network in the 90s. Now, as far as I know, he’s only getting work in shitty evangelical movies.
Or when Howard Dean “ruined” his political career by whooping at a rally because it “wasn’t presidential.”
Our expectations are so low right now that putting together two cogent sentences could literally mean that you win the election.
I’m pretty sure that white supremacist ideals for maintaining a white majority in the US has more than a little bit to do with this. It’s gross.
A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I don’t see “Caper” yet.
“Thanks for stopping by; thanks for breaking my cow lamp,” is still common parlance in our household.
And “The Cheat Is Not Dead” is a classic Strongbad hit.
I wonder what would happen if the world found out that Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (or any other celebrity/athlete/role model) was using Chat GPT to respond to fan mail. My gut feeling is that people would find it disingenuous at best – and there would probably be significant outrage.
Where’s the AI that does my dishes and cleans my house so I have more time to write, create, and connect with others? That’s the technology I want – not one that does the meaningful part and leaves the menial stuff up to me.
The convicted felon?
It’s pretty telling that they are trying to portray Marxists, Hermeticists, Luciferians, and Gnostics as united – or possibly even as the same group. Those circles of the Venn diagram might share some overlap, but (in my experience) their goals and principles aren’t very similar.
If I’m in transit on airplanes and in airports for 8 hours and I wear a mask for 7 of those hours, the one hour (or probably less) that I take off my mask to eat a meal doesn’t completely negate the good that wearing a mask does for the rest of the time. I’m still reducing my risk (or the risk I pose to others around me) for 88% of my travel time.
I am old enough to remember that. My, how times have changed.
Also, remember the time that Howard Dean tried to stir up some excitement among his campaign supporters and was knocked as “not being presidential”?
This is truly the Darkest Timeline™.
For me, everything that happens on HBO after Jon is stabbed by his brothers is just high-end fanfic. I will always believe that the showrunners fucked up the ending. And, let’s be real, GRRM isn’t going to prove me wrong.
It was the musical, so it was not a cheap ticket. I don’t know how they didn’t know it was not going to be supportive of their worldview.
An older lady and a kid were at South Park in the row in front of me. They didn’t make it 10 minutes.
I think that a lot of people in the Boomer and older age ranges never really understood the idea of adult animation, so they just assume that animated shows and films are made for kids.
(But my favorite Parker/Stone walk-out was the obviously Mormon couple who sat in front of us for the first 30 minutes of The Book of Mormon. The guy had the word “Mormon” embossed on his belt. They didn’t do their homework before they bought those tickets.)
From a utilitarian perspective, you’re still reducing overall suffering by an order of magnitude, so your scenario is still a greater good.
All true. But because teaching is historically “women’s work,” it is undervalued and underpaid.
Most teachers I know have at least Master’s degrees, yet we’re paid less than B.A.s start at in many fields. I took a 20k/year pay cut when I became a teacher, despite having received a Master’s degree before entering the field.
Until we value teaching as much as we value other types of work, we’re not going to attract large numbers of qualified people, whether they’re men or women.
Same. We can always sacrifice them for a faith boost if they keep asking questions.
Defiling corpses, fomenting communist insurrection, burning witches … That game has everything!
I agree.
Also, more embryos may be created than needed. So after a couple conceives, if those embryos are considered to be people, what can the fertility clinic reasonably do with them that won’t be considered murder?
US politics have moved so far to the right that I’m pretty sure contemporary moderate Democrats are nearly interchangeable with Reagan-era Republicans.
