the part where smarmy lemmy posters recoil but people with actual drug addiction experience think “hey, yea thats a good idea”. did you guys know there’s a reason you aren’t in charge?

you will own nothing!
the communist elite in china don’t give AF about climate change and they’re nothing close to “right wing” or religious. you’re just cherry picking to make a (very weak) point.
so israel is obligated to keep providing vital supplies to the terrorists murdering them? Maybe instead of buying rockets they should have worked on their infrastructure.
if you had to state something, probably over-bearing, over-nurturing mothers. but i highly doubt anyone would say that is the sole factor. it’s a combination of many things. even just being small or less masculine than peers can contribute. heck, being a completely normal person who is just a late bloomer can do it.
what they did was clearly terrible, but at the same time, this is what happens when you make the age of consent for this stuff 18. you could make the exact same argument about military service, they use all the same tactics. I hope they win and get some money and a piece of their dignity back, but what’s done is done. raise your kids right, and don’t normalize objectification of women, teach your daughters to be strong, and they’ll never have to respond to a sketchy ad about “modeling” in the back of some city rag.
already completed it long ago, and yea its the real/official one.
is this the part where twenty somethings on the internet gather to exclaim loudly “I hate hypocrites too”?
then you should love jesus, because he hated religious hypocrites just as much as you do. In fact, it was those hypocrites who killed him.
If jesus returned today, he would be killed at a MAGA rally, probably.
i’m a christian in SPITE of the church, not because of it.
its the internet. im not going to waste a bunch of time doing research for you. you can either go to the Pew center or not. If you were interested you would. If you aren’t interested, why do you care?
not going to google search for you, but it was Pew research center
that sucks im sorry. not all of us are like that. i became a christian while tripping on psychedelics. jesus said we are all made perfect in the image of our creator and that we aren’t to judge anyone as god will sort it out later. “vitriol” was never a part of the gospel. however, i must also point out that you are just as capable of judging and hurting people as anyone else. i would humbly suggest that your paragraph above is highly judgemental, lumps large groups of well-meaning people in with extremists, and is not an example of the tolerance and open-mindedness that you value. would you like to hear about my psychedelic experiences where i found god?
smart move. make sure to back up everything on multiple hard drives.
well, at least they paid you back for it. that’s actually quite respectable of them. and if they didn’t, it would have been a class action lawsuit, so kind of a moot point all around. You got your money back. I recommend using it to obtain several tiers of backup hard drives and make sure you have two physical copies of every piece of media you feel is not replaceable. Because some day, you won’t be able to replace it. the corporate dream is nobody owns anything, you just have to jack into their “stream” and consume whatever they feed you. the funniest thing is, people are already getting a head start on that dystopian future. they’re doing it to themselves, by actually paying for shitty streaming services. You really shouldn’t do that, as it only emboldens them.
you need to get off the Internet. seriously. fellow human.
for sure that’s true, but the data does actually show faith based activities have even better outcomes. it’s not just a coincidence. to be fair this is very hard to study. but at least anecdotally, people who have beliefs and organize around them always strike me as the happiest.
probably that too. but it seems more like people are just lazy and jump at any opportunity to blame their problems on something outside of themselves.
this won’t be popular to the “better living through chemistry” folks on lemmy, and Reddit. except for the fact that mental health issues are at an all time high, and so are prescriptions. so no one is actually better because of them. while it is proven that people engaged in faith activities have better mental health outcomes.
“it would likely have a stable government in Hamas”
…re-read that to yourself a few times.
