Not too spicy, but they at least acknowledge it.

On 27 July, WMF declined to voluntarily recognize the US union. WMF stated that the union would need to pursue a formal NLRB election procedure. 404 Media viewed the WMF’s 27 July statement as using “very carefully-worded language common among companies and organizations that have fought against unionization”.

I have lived in the bible belt all my life, still trying to escape. People are proud of their beliefs even though they aren’t true. “Everyone is entitled to their beliefs” is the common sentiment, but it’s wrong. Everyone is morally obligated to align their beliefs with reality as closely as they can.

That’s where science comes in. It is not an authority, not a religion, not a system. It is a process we use to acquire and refine knowledge. Given the physical limitations of our senses and minds, it is the best we can do.

People need to learn before we all die of stupid.

But there are better choices.

Try searching for communities related to your interests.

Why are you still using google?

I am not a parent and I haven’t seen the movie, but it makes sense that our exploitative overlords would want to groom the next generation of victims by normalizing naivety. Thank you for pointing this out. An alarming number of people, parents included, are not so good at thinking critically, and their children often suffer for it.

Hitting your children is legal in all 50 United States.

My parents will never face justice for hitting my brothers and I. Abuse is legal and normalized here.

I think he was a harmful hatemongerer and I am glad he is dead.

But I agree about how off-putting it is for so many people to continue profiting off his death. They are scavengers milking a corpse for all they can. It’s not about respecting the person he was, it’s about shamelessly exploiting him for their own gain.

Did they renounce their cult and do anything at all to help the victims?

Or are they pretending “progressive christian” is a valid ideology, forgiving themselves and moving on without actually fixing any of the root problems?

Pastors are not good people. They make their living lying to people and almost never face accountability for it. They just shift the lie to suit their needs at the time, at everyone’s expense.

“Ah, dang it, I showed up late and they’re out of masks. I guess that means I’ll have to use the voice-cancelling ball gag again…”

Yikes! It is frightening how shameless some people are; proud, even.

When I was young, I decided I probably shouldn’t have kids. I figured that if my parents (who I loved and respected at the time) couldn’t raise me without so much pain and fear, I’d probably do an even worse job.

When I told my abusive mother this as an adult, she told me I did not actually have that thought. How convenient for her.

We no longer speak. 🥲

I prefer to focus on reality. Abuse has been normalized and things need to change. Others have it worse than I do. There are more victims every day.

My parents had children they couldn’t actually afford, so they spent most of their time at work instead of raising us. Somehow, they expect me to be grateful to them for not being there and for bringing me into slave world.

I wish I hadn’t been born.
