Of course not, one of my best friends is a cow. I just think there should be different spaces for cows and humans, I’m not a bovinist.

That’s a lot of words that don’t tell us anything other than people created art and rituals they found meaning in. People do that with books and stories that we recognize as fiction all the time without us elevating that to a religion.

Is it epistemologically consistent to say that something that cannot be measured or observed in a replicable manner exists? How would the world be conclusively different from that thing if it didn’t exist if it exhibits no measurable or replicable and observable outcome?

Without knowing the situation, in the world as it exists today, there’s a lot of racist people that use Muslim or anti-Muslim rhetoric to refer to or denigrate any person of roughly Middle Eastern descent. Think of how many stories there were of Sikhs that were assaulted physically or verbally after September 11.

A moderator or admin who is aware of this could easily still allow criticism of Islam, the religion, while taking actions against those who are just being racist assholes with a veneer of anti religion. I have seen this many times before.

I don’t know, saying “I don’t have proof, I just believe” doesn’t seem like any sort of internal “logic” to me.

And while there are a lot of vocal people who are anti theists, most of us just look at believers like we would real people who are too afraid to say Voldemort’s name so he won’t come back because they can’t separate stories from reality.

I loved those books growing up.

Oh, so you’re ignoring cow murders now, they could get pushed out of the window too? Why is no one focusing on cow on cow crime?

Cows in buildings can be a serious issue. I don’t think they should be banned, there are special purpose buildings like barns after all; but in commercial and residential spaces, highly discouraged at the least.

Yes. A pretty detailed write up as well. Seems like an easy thing to look up.

She’s lived a really full life. Even her Wikipedia page is a good overview. She’s the type of activist a lot of keyboard warriors would like to pretend they are.

I feel like RealClear tried something like this in 2022 where they started showing a stronger Red wave that wasn’t there.

Has anyone checked in on Matt Taibbi, he must be stunned speechless.

This guy seems to think so :)

“Fake cryptocurrency”

Phone call from the Department of Redundancy Department on line one…

We just finished binging it. Aside from Neil and Mozzie together being Masters of Everything, it really held up well imho.

Looking forward to the reunion season.

Ok.

Paraphrase from Historian Kevin Kruse:

"No, l'm not voting [for the better one of the two major parties in a first past the post system] this election. But rest assured that when the Trump administration starts arresting my nonwhite neighbors and forcing them onto the trains, I'm going to have a pretty big frown on my face. That way, everyone will know it's not my fault."

Odd groups go to left. That mean: 1, 3, 5, 7…left

2, 4, 6, 8 … right. 7 & 8 are whelp groups.

Ok, listen the fuck up! You are going to DPS very very slowly. And by slow I mean FUCKING slow!

It’s sad, but honestly my my hope with that would be further erosion of the public support and opinion of the conservative wing of SCoTUS and a growth in support for expansion.

I wonder if this wouldn’t be grounds to reopen a more thorough investigation under a Democratic president.
