Unlike the comment i replied to, i do distinguish between the people who are aggressive about their anti-theism and atheists/anti-theists in general.
Blaming the violence that resulted from centuries of colonial oppression and the resistance against it on religion is a pretty tired trope that is intellectually lazy and deeply ingrained in overt and subtle beliefs of Supremacism in "Liberal" countries.
There is no doubt that the majority of Jews, Christians, Muslims and people of other faiths are just normal people, not holding more hate and not being more prone to violence than other communities. Calling them all " do support extremist hate religions" or referring to scriptures as "holy hate book" is lacking any differentiation.
No they did not do the right thing. The right thin would have been to come up with the plan to fix the whole thing immediately and then communicate it to potentially affected people and organizations, especially the employees working in that building or buildings that would be destroyed in a collapse.
It is completely unacceptable to omit life threatening danger from people and "face saving" and also likely "cost saving" by not having to rent other office space to stay in until the corrective measures were taken, were put over the life's of thousands of people.
There is about 2 billion Christians in the world and 1.8 billion Muslims. If they were to "support extremist hate" like you describe it, we would be at a global war that would dwarf any war before it.
Meanwhile people who are outspoken Anti-theists, often support the most vile supremacism, combining their belief of intellectual supremacism with beliefs of racial, cultural, ableist or other ideas of supremacism and subsequently justify bigoted violence including genocide. This also holds true for Zionism that for its longest time was a secular movement that faced heavy criticism by religious Jews and took a long time to create its warped understanding of Judaism in service of its imperialist ideology.
Of course it is convenient to blame imperialist violence on religion so as to distract from the imperialist and racist violence in your own ideology. This is also why some of the staunchest anti-theists are big supporters of US Fascism under Trump, willing to work together with the Evangelicals as the main goal is Fascism.
So he is equating the IDF, a genocidal gorganization, priding itself in executing medics, sniping children and starving millions of people while baiting some of them with the promise of food into a kill zone, with Judaism and Jews in general.
That sounds like an extreme version of the blood libel to me.
I strategically refrain from alcohol or other drug consumption. And my life has improved drastically ever since.
Whatever the reason that you feel you have to abuse drugs as a coping mechanism, it will only make things worse. You will not be able to process your emotions, you will not be able to think clear about what is your best way forward and you will not be able to grow stronger while drugged up.
The fact that you say you "needed to be anesthetized" for an uncomfortable conversation screams that you are either already having a drug abuse problem and that you have issues with your emotional regulation.
Bonus points for jumping onto latinos and blacks who didnt turn out for Biden/Harris and immediate show that they are deeply racists twats who just virtue signaled before, to get these communities to vote for them.
When genocidal mass murderers become potential targets it is terrorism, but when women and children are killed with headshots, paramedics are handcuffed and executed at close range and millions are systematically starved and shelled with artillery as they try to get the little food that is let in, it is self defense.
Palantir is also deep diving into Israeli war crimes, helping to operate the apartheid surveillance and designating women and children as targets for assassinations.
The last years saw up to 50°C in Northern Africa already. This will be the fate of Southern Europe, as the peak temperatures in the center and North of Europe will go to 45°C.
As the mean temperature rises roughly linear, so do the peak temperatures, but at a much faster rate. So 1,5-2°C increase in mean temperature often correspond to 5-7°C increase in peak temperatures.
For new buildings that is already case. For older buildings there is limits to how well you can retrofit them with new heating/cooling/insulation systems. Lots of building are messed up, because changes to insulation and heating/cooling lead to humidity and mold or worse mushrooms.
As an engineer i can tell you that a building being made of concrete and steel in no way indicates it to be safeguarded against fire. With how combustible a lot of interior has become over the past century, it can still turn into a flame engulfed hellhole, unless a high level of fire protection was achieved with proper firewalls and seals, containment design, extinguishing measures etc.
If you subject steel directly or rebar concrete to heat for a long time, the structural integrity will be permanently lowered, often requiring a building to be demolished and rebuilt after a larger fire.
Yeah, but all ticks can do that. The "meat allergy ones" are a species that is only moving now because of climate change, which in no small part is also caused by emissions from factory farming.
“For the aspiring politician there is no better way to get name recognition, build relationships with long-term donors, and to showcase oneself,” the hedge fund manager wrote, pitching the campaign like a business deal. “The risk/reward of running for mayor over the next 132 days is extremely compelling as the cost in time and energy is small and the upside is enormous.”
Who wants to suck our dicks? Get to the dick sucking now! The chance never has been greater. We need our dicks sucked and will pay handsomely! If we like it, we'll pass you around to suck even more dicks!
It really depends on the company. Some look for any way to squeeze you. Others are pretty decent and probably more efficient as they dont waste as many working hours on bullshit claims and claim resolution.
Also if i rent a car i want things to go smoothly. I got places to be. You make my life easy, ill happily pay again and do my best to make yours easy too.
Things cannot go without casualties. But the more people stand up to fight, the less casualties there will be as the prospect of "crushing" the resistance dwindles from the start.
And people who larp 2A should get a grip that if they claim the armed resistance, they have to take what comes with it.
On the other hand you see a lot of people still in their liberal fairytale land, where they think that if shit starts delivering the suspected instigator and cozying up with the police would help them defeat fascism. See various posts in the 50501 community.
Lets be real about it. Fighting as an armed resistance means people will be killed. Not fighting will lead to being killed at much larger scale, as the killers reign freely.
