In Ohio they are ostensibly required, but i only know of it being enforced in the Akron area. Sometimes you can get a decent car for cheep there that won’t pass inspection as long as you promise not to register it in Summit county, iirc. Point is enforcement is super patchy for a lot of the continental interior.
Concrete archaeological evidence is tremendously unlikely to ever surface. The afforementioned statement is a plausible conjecture based on what circumstantial evidence is apparent weighed against what we consider reasonable human behavior at the time. The purpose of the statement isn’t proof, but to be an academically sound conclusion to a mystery a lot of people take very seriously.
It would be just as foolish to declare the Jesus of the bible absolutely couldn’t exist as it would be to declare that he absolutely did.
Can confirm: childhood trauma leads to valuable interview skills. For me i got really good at guessing what people are wanting and then subsequently became good at giving or then managing the negatives around not. Super good at touchy hair trigger situations, not very good at making friends though. 3/10 would not recommend
There was no denial that Freddy Mercury engaged in sexual relationships with men, but those relationships should not delegitimize or downplay his relationships with women by insinuating that any relations with a man make him gay and only engaging with women to fit in.
You can have both excessively early sexual exploration and excessive self repression as a product of social media. Just to postulate: at early ages self consciousness hasn’t set in making sexual activity just a thing, and then when the teenage mind forms and self consciousness sets in one sees sexual behavior as childish. It is absolutely possible that what you see and the statistically observed sexual repression of modern youth are a product of the same forces
I think America has farther to fall before a serious conversation about Marx’s ideas can hit mainstream. Right now “socialism” just means “progressive reformation” thanks to the propaganda machines. Fox news has been peddling “anything i don’t like is socialism” for so long that American’s just call good thing socialism.
You have tossed a Metallica song and an XKCD into the same bucket and declared the whole genera of translating present human experience into material expression as worthless. It doesn’t even seem you even believe that economically profitable art is worthwhile which even the most greedy bastards agree is worthwhile.
I’m going to guess you must be one of those transhumanists who hates themselves so much they believe being alive somehow only acceptable if you bring about the extinction of humanity via a technological apocalypse. Am i close? I’m honestly a little at a loss as to what you would believe to produce those words
Right, so like, can we maybe collectively stop chastising America for not having instantly overthrown the government when it turned tyrannical? Maybe some patient, constructive encouragement instead; the constant hostility from ostensive allies will only serve to grind down those here on the fediverse actually trying to do things.
I think this argument is missing the nuanced component where the continent of Africa experienced this brief moment between the fall of the roman empire and the rise of the european slave trade where Africa wasn’t being raped by Europe. As i understand my slavery history the early-middle roman empire got the ball rolling a few thousand years ago, granted to nothing near the scale of modern European exploitation
In America it is somehow, inexplicably, easier to organize and coopt conservatives into betraying their cause than it is to get more than even 2 or 3 self proclaimed leftists to agree to do anything at all substantial.
edit: This has been my experience, at least. The American “left” mindset is so very performative and seems to think that doing anything other than voting the problem away is too scary or too much or too something. I cannot imagine we will see actual organization until something so bad happens that not being organized seems more dangerous than being organized, and i’m pretty sure it’ll be way too late to get started safely and cleanly by then.
You seem to be fully accepting the contortion of language to the degree that you accept that enemies must be allies. I don’t know any main stream media leftist pundits, they’re all liberal and some of them disguise themselves to be leftists; those ones are liars trying to muddy the water, not representatives of leftist ideology
In one comment you chastise for believing and not taking responsibility, and in this comment you chastise for still believing while trying to fix things. Is it safe to assume that anyone who finds religious creeds acceptable is inferior to you
On top of that the general price increase over the last 25 years has come with considerable increases in set intricacy, piece count, and variety to both piece shapes and themes. I love to dunk on corporate price gouging but i really struggle to fault LEGO. I personally use “a person can comfortably buy LEGO as toys for their children” as my personal litmus for what a good wage should be; they’re pretty solid for maintaining a price/value ratio and Americans should all be making at least 150k/year by now even out in the boonies, just deduct it right out of the fortune 500s margins
The types of christians who would dig this repressive mobile network are the kind who prefer overly simplified and easily digestible theology; that is to say the people who would pitch and want this phone definitely are in the “serpent is satan” camp not, “lets have a nuanced discussion about metaphors”. Not that they would accept the rebuttal, but i don’t think it’s invalid from the frameworks that produce this nonsense

Thank you for resolving this debate so resolutely
This is an internet shitpost forum, what could you expect to find in here besides shit? Anything other than a shitpost would be rightfully questioned

If you listen closely you can hear the sound of the joke completely going over your head

Polygamy = man has many wives
Polyamory = person has many partners
As i understand it, it’s all about how much misogyny is at play

That is not how socializing on the internet works. You make the claim, you back it up or be discredited for inconsideration
