@ernie Social media is 80% decontextualized. 100% out of context via the fediverse or people who dip their toes. Webp is called "modern" compared to PNG, GIF, JPEG so I think it's amazingly relevant, myself. @tedium
> The Southern Baptist Convention on Wednesday voted at its annual meeting to condemn the use of in vitro fertilization and commend its congregants who use alternative fertility therapies or adopt frozen embryos.

For fuck's sake, you're literally criticizing the democracy and the freedom by calling the actual democracy and freedom as harming democracy and freedom! Wowzer!
This quote takes a universal stance by not limiting 'beliefs' to the religious realm. Imposing any beliefs—whether secular, scientific, philosophical, sexual, cultural, climatological, or medical—is an act of persecution. The imposition of such beliefs is as harmful as you perceive the imposition of religious beliefs to be.
> China announced "historic" steps on Friday to stabilise its crisis-hit property sector, with the central bank facilitating 1 trillion yuan ($138 billion) in extra funding and easing mortgage rules, and local governments set to buy "some" apartments.
@djsumdog it's a hustle. It's like when old explorers tried to present god like powers to the primitives by saying, "If you don't release me, I will blot out the Sun!" When it's just an eclipse. It's a climate hustle. Even I believe that. I don't think David does. Or, worse, maybe he does! :)
@3hu@djsumdog hubris! I just think it's a "look the sun is getting blotted out! We need to spend all the money to prevent the sun from being blotted out by the moon by god! Spend all the money, get under control, make sure God doesn't anger" kind of cons going on.
People voted for Trump after he admitted he grabbed women by the pussy. Nobody would/does care about Stormy or affairs or lovers or porn stars. If Trump had more time, he'd probably add an OF model to the body count and not suffer for it in the polls.
