Grew up in a cult that refuses to do any military (JW), so at least one benefit I guess in that I was never brought up to venerate the military, or even any living person.

There's also a Hypothesis iirc that this rapid expansion also lowered our life span. Longevity Bottleneck Hypothesis though I think this one includes dinosaurs hunting mammals, and maybe Disposable Soma Theory.

Huh, the second one could probably be used to explain elves in fantasy: long life, low reproduction rate.

There's a simple mental trick for getting past that scripture. The part where Jesus says the least of his family, they just decide they are the in group and we are the out group.

So they reason no matter how poor and downtrodden we are, Jesus meant them, not us.

It's often an enforcement of gender roles, but you also see issues the reverse way for helplessness and incompetence: old men who do not know how to cook or handle any household chores because their wives always did it for them.

Been my experience with random people for like a decade or more. The only people I've run into who seemed to care was this elderly couple in Alabama (I was visiting, live in GA) where the wife always waited for her husband to open doors, and my sister-in-law who has my brother open doors for her.

She also chastised me for not walking over to my mom's door and opening it for her when we were all eating out once, to my mother's confusion because she's used to opening her own doors.

While I agree with the sentiment, there's always 1 person who says something really racist or something and does get into trouble, but usually gets a bunch of right wing support too.
Edit: Google search mentions several, including Ferguson police officer being extremely racist, a teacher also being racist calling Michelle a gorilla, a NY police officer got a mere 60 days for a slur and suggesting the president "go die in a shallow grave."

The overall point stands that they did way worse than someone calling out the truth, but right wing defenders will definitely say it happened with Obama too.

Personally, these are the reasons I try to stick with just stuff people post of themselves because they like to. That generally means i only see pics and short videos, but that's all fine to me.

Some may be advertising their only fans, so there's some minor guilt like only taking free samples, but still feels better than worrying about the industry in general.

Joke is flying over my head. Which age group shits poorly?

It's more a comment on the current American interpretation of Jesus, especially those on billboards etc. There's no real abortion hatred in the Bible either; people usually just use the scripture about god knowing them in the womb, despite a supposed abortion remedy being in the Bible, or Exodus 21:22-24 where the baby dying is only a fine but any damage to the pregnant woman is repaid in kind (eye for eye, tooth for tooth, death for death).

Hmmm... So by this reasoning, pickles are racist...

I knew it!

Racism. They don't like all the black people in games now

(But you knew that and were just pointing it out more cleverly than I)
