I think it was worse than that. It was to test for and increase capability for military life, but the exercises themselves are not a good way to keep a general healthy body so it actually caused physical health to decline in the US.
We also used to have acid rain regularly, and we tore a hole in the ozone. It’s never a bad idea to watch the consequences of our actions and impose restrictions on them to keep us all safe and healthy.
That’s kinda fair, but only if not looking at context. Unions represent the will/votes of the workers, and in the past women’s rights were culturally looked down on. In the present day equality is a more widespread cultural view so unions now would reflect that, at least in areas that do. So essentially unions are only as good as the current majority ethics of the workers within them.
Also fun is technically, while it is a fallacy in the general sense, in the Christian religion they actually talk about false Christians as part of Christianity. So in a general sense it is a fallacy, but by its own rules they can be called as such and technically isn’t a fallacy. False prophets, pharisees, antichrist and whatnot.

Except the anti-gay part is a 70 year old (seemingly deliberate) misinterpretation of a line saying a man shouldn’t lay with a boy. Which was about not being a pedophile, which these religious “leaders” do daily, and not about homosexuality. The Gold metals go to religions for gymnastics, mental category.
In around 1946 it was changed from the word for man-bed to homosexual. This is due to translation from Greek to the various different languages, including English over the years. Apparently the original greek word used was arsenokoitai which wasn’t the word for homosexual just meaning man-bed having many meanings such as sexual perverts, which if he meant explicitly homosexual he would have used paiderasste.
It’s not murder equivalent though. You probably have this image in your mind of a fully formed fetus when in actuality its something smaller than a pea by the time like 99% of abortions are done. There is no mind formed, the whole “heartbeat” thing was a lie, it was essentially the cells forming parts and doing basic tests on them to see if it works yet. Your logic would also dictate men NEED to have kids every moment because sperm only lives for a day or so and if they don’t fertilize then it’s the same as a mass murder (even though only one sperm survives fertilization, so still mass murder).
Also what about future possible kids? If you plan to only have a set number of kids, and aren’t in a good place, financially, mentally, or otherwise to have them right now you are looking at two possible options.
Option one: have them now and ruin your, your spouse, AND the kids lives by raising them without funds and before living life and maturing into a better person and parent, and in situations of stress like that you end up yelling at them unjustly, hitting them, or otherwise taking your problems out on everyone else (intentional, or not. Directly or not). Not to mention the overworking hours to pay for them takes you out of their lives when they need you most.
Or Option two: wait until you are ready, financially, mentally, or otherwise and give that same number of kids the life they deserve. And you all get to have much happier lives.
Now in both possible universes the same number of lives are born, and even if you picked universe one, now you’ve deleted the kids in universe two. So it’s still removing their futures.
There is no logical, or even ethical, reason to prevent abortions other than to control women and hurt children. Period. Anyone who says abortions are bad are hateful anti-human or anti-thinking people who want to push themself into others lives and force them to live how they demand.
The housing is already made. In the US there are more empty properties than homeless by multiple times.
Also food bearing trees were banned and only the pollen producing male trees are planted in public areas. Cultures used to have guilds for food forests where nobody had to do almost any work to get food, because forests do just fine without us and we found ways to just shift it towards making more food. Plus when you stop NEEDING to do work, people do what they are passionate about, and for some that is farming, or building stuff.
People don’t need money motivating everything if the system was changed.
After taking a (well-deserved) jab at summoning, I think it’s only fair I dive into what I believe is a subgroup of spells that serve the purpose people incorrectly pin on summoning. You’ve seen the title: I’m talking about illusions...
I like the way you think. Really great way to take advantage of how illusions misdirect the senses so it doesn’t matter that it isn’t “real”, it’s real enough to manipulate your targets perception, even for just a vital second in combat which is the difference between victory and defeat. Best part is that the way you are talking using it isn’t even really broken, it’s as effective as what you can literally imagine, and no more.
Same here, but I’m still unsure if Lemmy is a good alternative. Having to sign up for every community just to upvote/downvote, comment, or post seems foolish. Posting, totally fine. Upvote/downvote and comment? That creates a problem.
I would be nice if they had centralized upvote/downvote and comments in one general login if they wanna get more users to migrate. They could allow communities to block that access if they want, for more control so only accepted users can interact, but otherwise it feels like im bound and gagged trying to use this site, at least compared to reddit.
These issues are like programming UI 101: Don’t make the user have to login to too many things or over complicate it or they won’t use it. Because of that I worry this ends up being only content interaction one way so I might as well just go back to TV or corporate media/news sites where users can’t participate.
Edit: huh, I guess you can. Well nvm this is not bad.
