France may be good for not respecting a religion and disallowing abuse of religious systems that would attack the freedom of non-religious/minority-religious citizens, but are going to the opposite side of this problem. Abayas don't hurt anyone and, from what I can tell/correct me if wrong, are used as a religious observation. France is going out of their way to impose restrictions on elements that are generally harmless that these people may see as a religious necessity, attacking the freedom of religious citizens. There has to be a balance and they're off on the other arc of the pendulum swing here.

Classic Republican playbook, start shit and then project it on the enemy to make them look bad

Last two are both dumb, YYYY-MM-DD or DD-MM-YYYY or go home

Yes I'm American

People have sex in non-self-driving cars, wooptydoo

Appimages solve for this, but are underutilized

WHAT IS A man?! hurl goblet ...a miserable pile of secrets...!

man you need --help

Internet vigilantes FTW

I'll take it, very rare when companies give a shit about user privacy in the US, not like Europe.

Why the fuck would I explain advanced Linux distro details to a child that isn't already well versed? Lol

Ubuntu cares about making themselves stand out and their bottom line at the expense of users having to eat shit like Snap, Unity, sending Unity search data to Amazon and unnecessary bugs that other distro don't have problems with. They were fantastic up until 12.04. Linux Mint avoids all of these problems and nails Ubuntu's desktop goals, use that instead.

Why not? Works well and most folks have experience with it

At the risk of un-funning the meme, this is hard as hell. Took some health issues to snap me out of it and start taking care of myself. I know some folks that aren't stopped by health issues. Food addiction really sucks and erodes your willingness to deny it. Consent is a small part of the picture, though important.

Looked like it until I read the text haha

"Judeo-Christian society" has been airstriking the Middle East for years and provoking wars for a lot longer than that which is a violation of Christian beliefs ("Do to others what you would have them do to you", among others) so they can kindly shove it up their warmongering ass

Because they don't? There's FOSS Chromium-based browsers that respect privacy that would benefit from this.

I am Christian (I'm not out to go modify non-Christians though and have a lot of misgivings about the way other Christians have been approaching the topic) and have been in the church basically my whole life and can echo what u/BarqsHasBite stated. The big fear from their end is LGBTQIA+ folks "converting" the children to change the nation. Spend enough time looking at liberal-based news (I imagine you don't want to, that's fine but it needs to be said) and you'll see lots of examples of Christian vitriol against LGBTQIA+ in a very un-Christ-like manner. If you're not seeing it around you, you're lucky.

"It’s bigotry and they’ve fully embraced it."

As a Christian talking to a Christian, I'm astounded you don't understand the nature of the culture war going on. One side views homosexuality as a horror that needs to be snuffed out, and the other side views it as a major component of their person that is inseparable. One side wants homosexuality to die and the other side views that as a threat against their person. One side is using the Republican party to attack availability of transgender services that a good chunk of the other side relies on to live because they have followed their gender dysphoria through to personal body modification.

You and a lot of other Christians in this country need to stop with the persecution claims and crawl out from under your rock and have some open dialogue with your fellow Americans or citizens of whatever country you're in and stop cowering behind your pride and ego. It's fair to be viewed with mistrust when others of your faith are attacking what they are standing for. We are being intolerant of their choices and then crying intolerance and that is plain idiotic.

When you're neurodiverse and the guy in the top right 🙃

Florida is a cursed state that has been lost to Republican and Far-Right whimsy, wow

I was a little suspect of the NAACP memo about it being unsafe for Black people but man this just seals the deal
