I think that the delineation is important because it sends the signal to naturalized citizens (many of whom voted for Trump) that there is one less degree of separation between them and ICE. First it was criminal illegal, then just illegal, now legal, only one or two more steps till the defence is "they were not white". We need voters who would be targets to be scared into voting in their own interest.

I would give them a pass to shit on the people here who loudly and proudly scream that they did not vote at all. Depending on the communities that you focus on, you may get the impression that every Amercan on lemmy did not vote, and just want to piss and cry that they did not get the candidate (or communist revolution) that they preferred. Am American and voted for Kamala, not because I actively wanted her, but because you have to be pretty far gone to not be able to see she would have been better on EVERY front, INCULDING PALESTINE!

Alright so I watched him break down the data at the end, and the best that this proves is that it should be studied further to verify his experiments. Thousands of people should be studied in universities all over the world. My own distaste for datacenters not withstanding, if those future studies indicated and even maybe found the mechanism for these issues, that would not translate to datacenters ought not be built. It will and should be translated to a public health and engineering problem. We put shielding on nuclear powerplants to protect people from radiation, and we can likely do something similar to prevent infrasound, if the claims of some papers and this youtuber are proven to be correct beyond a reasonable doubt. This whole thing just stinks of "wifi sickness" and I am highly skeptical 🫤

Nope, not really. From my perspective, whether they came from a deity or from this place of "they just exist", humans made them up. Human rights can be more accurately defined as: A bunch of apes have the ability to perceive fairness and are intelligent enough to use language collectively decided that fairness should be the rule. The collective will punish those who break the rules.

Some branches of philosophy, yes. I think that your best defense would be to claim that there are metaphysical aspects of philosophy. We use metaphysics as a shortcut, even in pholosophy. I am a materialist, so I dont really think that anything can be "immaterial" or "metaphysical". Anything we have identified as immaterial has just not been adequately defined.

You are right and wrong.

Martin Luther had a problem with the idea of transubstantiation, but also rejected memorialism (the idea that you were taking the bread and wine to memorialize Christ's sacrifice). Martin argued that the literal body and blood of Christ were "in, with, and under" the sacraments. His reforms denied the magical transformation of transubstantiation, but vehemently defended the literal presence of Christs blood and flesh in the sacraments.

In other words, symbolic ritual cannibalism. Maybe some modern protestant offshoots disagree, but this is definitely not contained to catholocism.

Well considering nearly, if not all modern offshoots of Christianity are rooted in Catholocism, I don't really see why you they need to be separated so. The communions practiced in protestant offshoots are kind of bound to their origins no?

And once again, symbolically eating the flesh and blood of your deity can be referred to as symbolic ritual cannibalism, whether or not you believe that it is literally turning into the blood and flesh of your deity in your stomach.
