    It’s been the same with Christianity for most of the 2000 years it has existed. Christians had so many different interpretations they have been split up into splinter groups as early as 30 years after Jesus death.

    Literalism is a pretty new concept, rougthly from the late 19th century.

    If anybody is interested about the history, I can recomend Center Place`s newest video, a progressive church that has a lot of historical and very scholary lectures about Christianity and Judaism (no preaching or converting). Their lectures playlist is a treasure. And I say this as a very much not Christian or Jewish person.

    Here is their video on Literalism

    In Germany we have had a significant rise in homelessness lately. Hompless people are present in every city. France feels very much the same when I visit. Britain has loads of them.

    We as a group maybe is not just US-Americans after all, but the minority world (the “West”) as a whole.

    It’s a systemic issue, that is for sure. It just not on my the US system that is fucked. Maybe a bit more fucked, as Homelessness is more widespread that in Europe. But defenetly not exclusive to the US.

    When you only are responsible for yourself this is a legit thing in my eyes. If this is the life he prefers and he is happy, go ahead.

    Doing this when you have a child is an irresponsible asshole move in my opinion. You are forcing your child into a live that just can’t be as healthy for them, physically and mentaly, then a more secure setting (that he had before) would be.


  • I don’t think anything exits on its own merit on the whole wide universe, but that is another discussion to be had.

    Content here seems to rise and fall if they fit the narrative the community wants to push. I was quite active on r/collapse and it only got The doom stuff about climate change. Positive messages were filtered out. That’s just one example, but it seems to be how Lemmy works and Reddit used to work before it was invaded by bots.

    I’d argue that is pushing the ego too. It’s a way to reaffirm the worldview one holds over and over. And that is, I think, a very ego driven thing, since we all strife to be right about things.

    Easy to make misstake, but it was Power Word: Pain, not Kill.

    You speak a word of power that causes waves of intense pain to assail one creature you can see within range. If the target has 100 hit points or fewer, it is subject to crippling pain. Otherwise, the spell has no effect on it. A target is also unaffected if it is immune to being charmed.

    You… You think somebody let’s moles onto people’s yards? A pest is just an animal doing it’s animal thing. It’s humans that think their thought up idea of property gives them the right to kill another beeing.

    Why stop the quote there?

    $1.65 Billion, or 95.7%, comes from a single deal with the state of Pennsylvania for a tax-credit to build a massive petrochemical plant there.

    The tax subsidies are a summation of all subsidies since 2003, not per year as the image claims.

    The image tries to link federal SNAP benefits to total tax benefits for RDS. Of the $1.725 Billion listed on the page for RDS, total federal tax benefits account for $4.9 Million, or 0.2% of all total tax benefits.
