“cutting off people’s pinkies will reduce global warming”
“People with missing pinkies contribute just as much to global warming”
“Do they really though? Provide some evidence. And if true do you have a better solution to reduce global warming?”
People don’t need to have an alternative plan ready to go in order to point out that yours is ineffective.
So maybe the issue isn’t religion or the absence there of, but that shitty people will find excuses to justify their shittyness. That would make focusing on religion a waste of time.
You know the people with influence and power.
Who are shitty people that happen to be religious. Criticise them for being shitty and pushing shitty policies, don’t pretend that every prison who happens to be religious is responsible for them or believes and behaves in the same way.
The linked comment isn’t complaining about the head of anything.
Riiiiiiiight it’s atheists that are the problem. Not just shitty people who happen to be atheist…
90% of religious people have a similar reaction when people complain about shitty people who happen to be religious.
Turns out you find shitty people in every group. Who knew?
People do choose to believe in things that I think are ridiculous and saying that I cannot call that out is just religious people saying you can’t call them out.
And what value does your calling them out add to the discussion? Does it lead to an interesting nuanced conversation? Or is it immediately just people insulting each other while saying nothing other than “you’re wrong”?
If it never leads to useful or interesting discussion and only leads to flame wars and arguments then it should be banned.
Anyone who dislikes the hypothetical critique can simply hit the report button and it will get wiped if Rule 4 is read at face value.
Oh, so you want to throw your terrible take out there for everyone, but you don’t want to actually defend it or have people openly disagree with you?
ITT: people who don’t understand that if the article takes place in a specific geographical region, then general comments about said article are also referring to the same geographical region.
That’s like saying the tolerant can’t be intolerant of the intolerant, when in fact they have to be.
I’m reminded of all the “France Surrenders” memes I’ve seen. Meanwhile the French shut down their country at the suggestion of the retirement age increasing. An unelected group of 6 people decide your king president can do whatever they want with no consequence and Americans just shake their fists at the cloud complain online.
Because they never say “wish”, they just issue commands.
So they admit what happened and Trump’s role in it?
When they start calling people “jr” or implying anyone who disagrees with them is too young to understand.
Teach them the story of Lot and his daughters, let them go home and ask their parents about it.
All these “nobody wants to work anymore” people are the ones that think they don’t have to take care of their employees because they can always hire someone else.
I’m volunteering to install Linux on my machine instead of just bitching about Microsoft while continuing to use Windows.
I don’t see how pointing out the reality of “if you’re not going to stop using Windows then Microsoft doesn’t care what you think” somehow makes me responsible for every computer in the world.
Lemmy folk forgetting that not every person cares enough to switch OSes.
Right, so if they don’t care they’re not going to complain very much about it. If they are going to complain what are they going to do about it? If it’s “just complain and nothing else” then Microsoft doesn’t care.
I believe Mint is designed for ease of installation and use, and similarity to Windows.
Do those programs not work on WINE?
What makes you think this group of men were religious in the first place?
