His best isn’t good enough

I’m 40 now and have been atheist since I was 12. I vote, occasionally join a protest, and ignore the rest. People are free to practice whatever religion they want just as I am free to not. I used to engage in debates with religious folks but in my experience I have found none of them are open to having their minds changed so I don’t bother.

You can’t fight religious based oppression through discourse; it needs to be done at the ballot. Save those conversations for the like minded people in your life and organize with more of them.

Imagine being this confidently wrong

Congrats?

Are you the lemmy police? stfu

Good luck but I either need to fly or take a ferry to get to my state’s capitol building. Need more than a few days heads up.

Have you participated in a protest before? There is a significant amount of planning involved.

You will hate this too

I’m thankful there are a lot of community events in the smallish towns in my area that help stave off the winter stir craziness. I think I’ve only seen the sun 4 times in the last 3 months but those few days were glorious. I can still get some hiking done on days where it’s not miserably windy. The thing that kills me the most are how short the days are.

It will always be Denali

That’s terrible news. I spent a year in Arizona and it’s heartbreaking seeing what mining has done to some of that landscape.

I wish people could realize that sometimes you just can’t have the minerals due to the environmental cost. I have zero faith that Northern Dynasty won’t cause massive environmental impact over the long term.

It is somewhat reassuring that I can’t find any more details speculating on Pebble’s approval online outside of the source you provided that I’m subscription blocked from reading.

I hear you but even then it’s not straightforward. My personal experience of trying to get signed up to Lemmy was pretty bad and I know my way around a computer. This could very well be an issue with the Arctic client but apps are how a lot if not most are going to interact with the platform so the ecosystem needs work.
