I have an account on lemmygrad and when I created it, I was asked about my politics. They formally accepted every left ideology but when you say anything remotely anti-authoritarian, you get downvoted into oblivion

I thought 3 beers are a meal?

You must imagine sisyphus happy. Or don't. It's your decision but you have to choose

This is what I hate about lemmy and social media in general. Some people just overdo it. Ten? What's next? Eleven? This community is full of lunatics!

I smell teenspirit

And for a reason

Windows 9 was peak. Nobody hated Windows 9

Coincidence? I don't think so

wasn't

So it is now?

English has more auxiliary words so I think in word count, English as more words in a sentence.

I had dyslexia as a kid and long words freaked me out especially. I never realized that this isn't a thing for kids in other languages. But honestly: while they have a shock value, they aren't that common really

I don't say I support them, I don't want legal actions against me. All I say is he's funny

Modern politics is the prequel of star trek

And why does this "someone else" focus on them? Because of the worldview that earth is special and not one of many planets. And that humans are special and not just one of many species

I don't think you can separate these easily. Many Christian academics will point out that the bible doesn't really care about the shape of the earth but just reflects what people in the area thought. Same with the creation. Scholars will point out that the bible isn't consistent in the narrative of creation so these stories have a different, non historical meaning, explaining how the world is structured and how it works right now.

On the other hand, if you believe that God created earth in 6 days and made it special, the other planets can't be equal to us. Something the text doesn't really care about. It doesn't care about Mars or the Sun or the Moon, it just mocks the polytheists around that believe they are gods.

I mean there is alot in the bible you can take out of context and claim important. Why do people single out the flat earth and creation in 6 days? And historically, people had pseudo scientific theories focused on other parts like the 3 sons of Noah originating 3 different kinds of modern day peoples. There is a lot more and a lot to learn from why people choose to focus on this or that.

I'm not going to defend flat earthers but I think it's important to understand where they are coming from:

Part of their philosophy (maybe not for all but still) is to put earth back into the center where it always was. In other words: they don't want to accept that earth is just one of many planets. Earth is the world and everything else are just lights on the sky. You can't deny that Mars is a round celestial body but you can deny earth is. So earth is still special and so am I and so are you.

Just admit that you are paid by Big Open Source and move on to your next sponsor Air Up

I intended to make a little joke, maybe some people will appreciate it, maybe not

Big if true
