s*rry…

Also removes the joke of the kid having more complex thoughts.

Its a reference to how they do their baptisms.

Sorry if I’m being unintentionally obtuse, this is a genuine question, what’s not normalized about it? I can’t remember the last time I had a conversation about my faith or lack thereof. Could just be my location and circles I hang out with, but I don’t know many people, especially my age or younger, who really care one way or another.

Would probably flow more naturally and avoid unwanted conversation if you used “on earth” or something else universally experienced instead of “in athieism” which leads to the same problem you were complaining about but from a different group.

Also completely fair, I’ll shake hands with you on that.

The government allowed lies to be told on TV and on the internet under the guise of news. There were no real consequences to those who had listeners and repeated foreign government talking points for money. We have not seen any real investigation on how much interference was ran on social media.

Nearly every human being believes that they are a good person making rational decisions, so its important to examine the environment around these people to where they can believe they made the right choice when it comes to electing Trump and sadly, it seems our mostly unregulated free speech that let it happen, because the republican party is more organized and effective in communicating their platform and slandering their opponents than democrats are, and they motivated more people to vote than the democrats could as a result. Anger and hate are strong emotions and motivators, and unfortunately the republicans keep on using them and it keeps on working.

I have no idea what you’re blaming Lemmy on, if anything I’d expect the userbase here to be more active and left-leaning voters than average. People have a good reason to be frustrated, and I think pointing that frustration at the only alternative option we had for a political party failing election after election to learn how to communicate and how to deliver on what the people really want is a reasonable take.

Those sickos bottle up the food for the sea turtles and now they’re gonna starve!

Not voting is a choice as well. A choice that will make it so that your voice will not have an impact on whether the candidate that kills more will win, or the candidate that kills less. Choosing to abstain is an announcement that you don’t care about those whose lives are being threatened, the opposite of what you seem to think it is.

Why do you say that? Seems to be a clear direct response to your comment.

I want what you have so badly, I hate our ISPs

99% of the population is worse off under their competition, so there’s still not really much of a choice.

Which one of you forgot to open the app so we all ceased to exist to save on simulation resources?

There are still plenty of churches that haven’t dove off the deep end, so I’m not too surprised.

She’s just prepping some Rs to think that faking votes is easy so they’ll be more accepting of the idea that the election was stolen when Trump loses. As a bonus she also makes it seem like the R party is the one stopping this fictional fraud.

Do the sites work if you use an extension that lies to them about what browser you are using?

Nah its 50/50, either you’re a USA English speaker or you’re not

Oh no!!! Now I’m depressed… But focusing on it more!

Thankfully, there are many people who don’t think like this.
