BASED on a true story?

based when will the college bubble burst?

I presume it will take some AI advancement to finally bring it down

reeeeee sekzizm

you know what must be done, ppl need to make accounts on some other federated instances and post stuff that doesnt break the rules but is stuff they dont like and need to direct ppl back to here while doing so LOL

this is fr tho

reeeeee trainsfobia

in context he is calling for capital punishment for criminals who abuse children, which has been a common punishment throughout history (didn’t FL just legalize it?). I think for that, not adults who mutilate themselves

@T_y_rannyLoverLOL

I think there can be conservative socialism that isn’t nationalist socialism (nazism)…

as much as there is leftist capitalism (bud light and others that go woke and broke)

muh racisms

tbh I think people should eat a variety, vegab and carnivore seem like extremes besides for those who have diseases or do well with a specific diet

religious people have often leaned in the vegan direction as a kind of penance if they’re celibate; for manual laborers and those not celibate the meat seems to possibly give extra energy for certain activities

dindu

or desert you

reeeeee #s of h8!

saw some other lemmy instance users reeeeeeing about this post (wiggle posted same meme before)

Of course this isn’t all baptists but over time it really has made protestantism look dramatically different to Catholicism or orthodoxy to me

I was just reading the text of the divine liturgies, common to eastern Catholics or orthodox… it sounds like a lot more overlap in beliefs. And then you get protestants who can widely diverge from this.

I’ve seen these kinds of things create practical issues. Like, if all you need is faith to be saved, why does it matter if they have a lesbian minister or not? They can tend towards moral anarchy or antinomianism as a result.

Theologically, antinomianism is the belief that there are no moral laws God expects Christians to obey.

Of course also there are a lot of protestants who believe they ought to live good lives on the honor system because they have faith, and they do make some attempt, and so in practice I’m not sure how much a “faith alone” approach affects their approach to doing good works.

Sometimes it goes to the opposite extreme with the protestant work ethic. I’ve also seen some polls that seem to indicate a lot of protestants do seem to think works matter for salvation (even though this was traditionally associated with Catholicism… and orthodoxy?)

But yeah in the West there’s often a focus on Catholic versus protestant and idk why orthodoxy gets forgotten.

I think I have a booklet on her life story and it was very edifying tbh, I can post some more about it if requested, like excerpts or reflection

tbh at this point I think the meme doesn’t fit sometimes

the rattlesnake is usually defensive and only attacks when endangered (or when people are within its strike zone)

yeah, the “don’t tread on me” can be interpreted to mean a “freedom” of a kind of godless independence

it can also refer to legitimate self-defense:

Everyone has the right to defend his life against the attacks of an unjust aggressor. For this end he may employ whatever force is necessary and even take the life of an unjust assailant. As bodily integrity is included in the good of life, it may be defended in the same way as life itself.

It is lawful to defend one’s material goods even at the expense of the agressor’s life; for neither justice nor charity require that one should sacrifice possessions, even though they be of less value than human life in order to preserve the life of a man who wantonly exposes it in order to do an injustice. Here, however, we must recall the principle that in extreme necessity every man has a right to appropriate whatever is necessary to preserve his life. The starving man who snatches a meal is not an unjust agressor; consequently it is not lawful to use force against him.

I mean so basically my perception was the original “don’t tread on me” seemed like godless libertarianism, this meme has been used by some to come in to promote a questionable authoritarianism, and I think as a mean between the extremes we can reject godless independence and yet also still safeguard some individual rights or liberties at times. God may trample on individual liberties for a divine purpose, but men will often be called to respect certain freedoms of others.

there are balancing forces at play though as some people are becoming more religious and the less religious might not have any kids

“An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.” Matthew 12:39

they need full defederation

but then I can’t come and discuss the topic with you at all

I saw a post like you describe, but I think it was about harming not simply “people who are different” but criminals who abuse children. Throughout history such criminals were often punished severely with imprisonment or worse.

So, we aren’t able to have any discussions to try to clarify things with defederation. That to me is one issue.

The other is I like to post random things that are kind of “neutral”, like I was wondering what masks are recommended for wildfires or about how to improve lung health if you get exposed to toxic fumes, which I would presume most people might be interested in discussing: https://exploding-heads.com/post/161502?scrollToComments=true
