Nobody disagrees that religion is not up to modern scientific standards.

That wasn’t the point. At all. The point is that modern science still says they were on to something. The premise is right answer, wrong reason, so if religion isn’t science … you’re simply agreeing with the whole reason those rules were mentioned in this discussion: (sortof) right answer, wrong reasons.

I’m positive it wasn’t simply, “god says so”, but probably because everyone noticed people who ate them got sick more often, and attributed ills befalling them as a message from God. It happens all the time in religion. It still stems from something real, just misattributed to God, as usual.

In either case, the rules are still valid examples of, “something modern science (sort of) agrees with”.

If you don’t work by the same rules as others, they win. This is the real eorld, not a fairy tale.

Doing GOOD things is good. Period. It’s the same question as, “if you had a billion dollars”. If your answer is, “nothing because I did not earn that money”, you are nothing but a fool.

You yourself called it “outdated science”, so please do not play the semantics game.

You are completely waxing over that EVERYTHING in religion gets boiled down to, “skydaddy says so”. That does not and will never mean that is the actual etymology of the rule…

No, that’s the thing. It IS still relevant and fully correct for what it meant to do. Just because someone invented better preservation techniques doesn’t magically make shellfish or pork less FBI prone than other food. That is and will always be true.

But that’s still an ignorant black & white position. It is NOT, in fact, immoral, to do a good thing with unjustly acquired power. It is NOT immoral to suddenly have unjust power, but it is to seek it, or use it for immoral ends

Nah, movement is a ton of energy be it gas or electric. Electric vehicles are still the future for the simple fact that they replace something even less economical or long term.

NFTs replace nothing. Not with an improved version, anyways.

That number is not going to be accurate what so ever for a product that’s not even commercialized yet…

They’re not making a technical argument but a practical one.

Who ever owns the chain is the ACTUAL owner of the NFTs. Who ever owns the physical hardware is the ACTUAL controller of the chain.

The problem with NFTs is … they only solve theoretical problems, not problems in the real world, where it ALWAYS takes agreement and cooperation for anything to ACTUALLY function and serve a purpose.

Blockchains have already proven to be no more secure than a properly designed normal database, and are ALWAYS going to take more electricity, so…they continue to be nothing but a toy and a canary for the gullible tech bro.

No. This won’t work any better, either. Keeping anonymous porn off the internet is like trying to prevent kids from fooling around with sex by not telling them about sex.

Unless you’re removing their genitals, they’re GOING to figure it out. The situation only gets worse with more ignorance and more control.

No, no it is NOT “just as immoral” to fight against fascists as doing a fascist takeover… What a moronic, childish, black & white take…

I don’t understand. He was using his head and still died!? There really is no hope for us all…

It’s not gatekeeping to point out that humidity has a direct relationship with how much heat capacity the air has and negatively impacts how well your body can cool itself. Quite literally. Without sweat evaporation, people can suffer heat stroke in the mid 80’s Fahrenheit.

Only if you’re working with sycophants or morons.

Unfortunately, there are a LOT of those in life…

I mean, in the example you’re responding to, many of the people aren’t doing the “technically correct” answer of, “microbial life will continue”.

They’re just morons who heard, “life finds a way” and assume humans will be fine.

Oh, returning customer bonus!

Oh no… They WOULD piss on you. Just not to help put out the fire.

They live vicariously. They only understand something if there is a picture or video of it.

Literally, military recruitment.

Promise we’ll pay you all those benefits! It’s as good as free college!

Even better reason to leave those goons behind, then.

Also, having a section they push to the top is not “defaulting”. It’s forced inclusion. Again, even more reason to abandon Google.

Nah, it’s effective for some things, they just didn’t clarify that it is NOT good for everything idiots claim, but a small subset of chronic pain issues where causing endorphins to release and some direct tissue stimulation are the mechanisms of action.

Sure, you might claim treating symptoms still isn’t “fixing” anything like with much of medicine, but pain relief and stimulation are both very much parts of actual medical recovery plans.
