Absolutely, conditions like that kill people.

I believe you, I just think the average person doesn’t realize how damaging the Bible can be, especially taken literally. The use for it as a moral guide has long since been overtaken by philosophies like humanism, the same way that precise brain surgeries have eclipsed the trepanation practiced in the Neolithic.

You are not convincing my queer trans ass there is anything worth studying in there to guide people morally. I had that inflicted on me for the first two decades of my life and literally have PTSD from it.

The history can be interesting, and it’s something people accomplished in spite of what is in that book, not because of it.

The weather this week where they are has highs in the 90s, lows in the 70s, and 60% humidity. So yeah in a place that’s crowded with likely inadequate air conditioning it’s probably hot as shit.

Would have been nice for the meme to use a photo of kintsugi instead of AI slop.

Where do you think the ideas that all humans are equal and deserve equal rights that reduced slavery in modern times come from?

Definitely not the Bible, which tells women to be subservient to their husbands and enslaved people to obey their masters. I am utterly uninterested in the moral lessons of a book written by people who endorse debt slavery. Which, I guess still needs to be pointed out, is bad! Even if it’s “only” 7 years!

Wait you’re telling me it’s Kickero? 🤯

It was a test lick! I’m very well hydrated!

You’re asking me if it’s better that there are ~14 million less Nazis in the US than you thought?

That is also an oversimplification, because you’re assuming that all 36% of the people who didn’t vote had the option to vote. We are the most imprisoned population on earth, with some states (including one of the 2024 swing states) removing voting rights from people convicted of felonies.

That’s not even going into things like people working in jobs that have no problem violating the law and refusing to let them take time off to vote, people being illegitimately denied the vote at the polls over ID issues, long poll lines that mean some people wind up unable to vote for unavoidable reasons (childcare, disability, etc), 14 states don’t allow no-excuse voting by mail, I can keep going on with all the problems people run into while voting in the US if you want.

Obviously that’s not all of that 36%, but you are living in a dream world if you think every American citizen that wanted to vote got to.

Social Security is a federal program. It going under will not only affect boomers in Oklahoma, and the 65+ demographic voted for Trump at the same rate as 18-29s (51%).

Age is not a determiner of morality, and gathering to point and laugh while the elderly and disabled die due to eliminating government safety nets sure fits in with the Nazi zeitgeist, but probably not the way y’all want it to.

So they’re not suffering from social security collapsing, the topic of this post?? I didn’t think that needed clarifying
