I feel like they've had to accept an outstanding amount of evidence over the hundreds of years, but with the advent of internet circles just feedback loop way harder, except the church isn't in those loops.
Like it's just way harder currently to change the mind of someone when they're instantly surrounded by people who will reinforce your beliefs.
Though I also feel like the more difficult it becomes to change religions, the more likely they are to go away. There's a lot of thrown away crap that was thrown away because people wouldn't take it. Religion can't survive forever on the old.
Didn't the animal tests lead to pretty bad deaths? And wasn't that less than a year ago? I can't imagine this going well.
Plus there was the blind-tech that was revealed not too long ago where now that they're bankrupt the group is slowly going blind and worse. I feel like none of this is going to end well.
So the judge is in with trump. Hope none of his cases go that guys way.
Like yeah, he broke the law and needed to be punished. But it wasn't government secrets, which i'm pretty sure is already legally coded separately from this guys crimes, and also neither of which are treason, which would be the capital attack.
So the guy blatantly spoke against his own legal experience for a political swing.
He really shouldn't. What the guy did was still legally wrong, and he probably knew it and weighed he would rather take jail time and commit it. A less scrupulous person could do worse things, which is why those laws are in place.
If he could somehow reduce the sentence that would be great, and if that is on the table he should, but some punishment should still occur.
He's a vigilante hero for what he did, but vigilantes are still criminals. The main issue here is that the punishment is clearly wrong, and the message is wrong, as the judge seems to think this is paramount to treason, which it isn't.
To be fair in Epsteins case his testifying could've probably put some people behind bars. This guy won't have anymore information now that he's been pulled away from the system.
Starting a career has increasingly felt like a right of passage for Gen Z and Millennial workers struggling to adapt to the working week and stand out to their new bosses....
should've just admitted to chatgpt. That paragraph makes you look old and disconnected. You made a lot of assumptions about people you don't know, and clearly don't know the current age you're in. It's not entitlement or some need for instant gratification. People are actually getting less than they got when you started working. And generally a lot of jobs are also expecting more, especially now that computers allow for deeper, more analytical, and less empathetic tracking of employee activity.
There's also an alternate script if you want to talk with a Republican senator, and you don't feel they'll be swayed by the language in the linked site.
We spend half our lives online nowadays and it’s obviously causing damage to our health. Do you think it would be worth the benefits to stop carrying a smartphone and to disable the WiFi at home?
The issue with that is the question "And do what?"
Like what matters is that you do something that is actually healthy for your body. Internet is if anything probably a step up from the age of couch surfing on the TV, since you at least need to actively navigate it. Mostly meaning to say that you could easily just choose something that isn't any better.
But either way you'd be better off just choosing something healthy to do, like exercise.
(Reuters) - Ukraine’s SBU security service said on Saturday it had uncovered a corruption scheme in the purchase of arms by the country’s military totalling the equivalent of about $40 million.
Basically we encompass everything as black/white socialism/capitalism
When pretty much every country (including the United States currently ) implements both.
And the problem is by demonizing socialism as the main economic structure, politicians basically succeeded in shaming people for any socialist policy they disagree with.
So many people that take psychology courses end up working in the advertisement industry because that’s where the jobs are if you have a psychology degree.

It's neutral, neither good or evil. While you can argue it's pretty dark how deep the psychology can go, it's hard to go into a deep evaluation of that.
I’m curious if any of you still use anything other than fediverse. Since discovering it last year I’ve deleted all my non fedi social media, and it feels great!
I still use redirects to visit Reddit (I don't bother if they don't work), mainly because one of the main communities I track didn't really move here.
Does Youtube count? That's pretty much the only other thing I could think of.
Okay let me start with two heavy hitters right from the get go and don’t forget these are only personal oppinions and I absolute understand if you like those games. Good for you!...
I think Portal is the only one I'm fine with, probably because there's not as much action. First person puts me on edge and not in a way that I really appreciate. I also really like to be able to see the character in general.
To that end I also don't really like horror games, but I don't think that's as divisive an opinion.

The numbers are actually pretty small, and ironically the group claiming there are voting issues (republicans) are the ones primarily getting caught doing it.
You're arguing based on a scenario that has historically never happened on a level where it has had an effect on any election, past present or even recent.
To be fair, I don't think there's harm in there being a voter ID, but there's no evidence of there being an issue for it not being there either. The biggest issue would likely be it would take time, and the world has to keep moving.
You've never been in a car accident, but car accidents do happen, and frequently enough that there's still a very good chance it will one day effect you.
Uhhh...that's not a meme, as the other guy said it's virtue signalling. I don't even know why you would fallback on it being a meme since people generally agreed with what you said.
If anything I think that makes you sound like an ass but that's just me.
Was strict the default? I'd assume the standard would be the default.
I'd imagine if you were using strict you want the sites to break because you absolutely do not want fingerprinting. That kindof restriction usually comes with the breaking being expected.
