Dunno about autoclavable, but I think the HOKA brand is popular with the hospital staff I know and they seem to prefer those.

Tolkien’s “inspiration” for Dwarves pulling from Jews is fascinating, as a Jew. I read that his thoughts were that Dwarves were a strong, resilient people who had been displaced from their homeland but maintained a strong attachment to their traditions and their craft. He saw this as a deferential depiction of Jews and was purposely trying to move away from European depictions of Jews as goblin-like monsters. What’s fascinating is how it is still riddled with antisemitic tropes such as the obsession with gold, their “quarrelsome” nature, and also literally making them a different race of short-statured people who lived underground. It speaks to how deeply ingrained antisemitism was (and to an extent, still is) in the European mind while also lightly espousing Zionist ideas in how living in diaspora is somehow less than living in historical Judea.

How is this news?

Its an article about a social media post and the article is riddled with errors. They can’t even get the name of the posters account right despite showing it in the images.

Some dude posting an AI generated video on social media is news now?

The article doesn’t even get the poster’s name right, despite sharing it in the images…

This is really low quality muck raking.

That one was specially focused on geeky kink stuff and was pretty good. I really enjoyed the rope classes I took and a kind man welded my glasses together after a mishap in a scene in the hotel room we rented to attend. I’ve heard it waned in the past years but I imagine there’s others like it if you’re near any metropolitan area. Nerds love a flimsy pretense for sexually charged situations.

I think you may have linked the wrong article

It should be this one, no?

I played a horny rpg at a kink convention that went fairly well. I suppose the nuance to the situation was “I probably want to have sex with you, but I’m not sure, why don’t we engage in some nerdy sexually charged situations and find out?”

Yeah the issue with F.A.T.A.L. isn’t just that it’s text and mechanics are horrifically racist and misogynistic, it’s also a terrible game. It’s clunky and clumsy and it’s difficult to play because it’s poorly written. The author spent more time thinking about his rape fantasies than figuring out how to roll them out in any coherent way.

Also, very minor in comparison, but the food section is batshit wild. It’s like written by someone who never ate before, the ideas of what makes cuisines in F.A.T.A.L. is hilariously bad.

Nothing but AI garbage

Hey look it’s more AI trash

This’ll never pass the senate, the GOP won’t get the 7 flips required to break a filibuster, but if it does, they’ll get absolutely destroyed in the midterms as the DNC will run on how the GOP wants to make it harder for married women to vote.

There’s a few reddit based communities that might work for, but, honestly, I’m not sure if there’s a community specifically for posting threads from reddit and making replies to them. But maybe you could start one.

The reddit thread is locked, so that’s probably why you can’t comment on it.

But I’m not sure what that has to do with lemmy

Why’s this look like AI slop?

The only community I’ve been blocked from was an instance level block from a 30rock gif community (baffling) and from a community that was made by someone to post their pedophile fantasies (that one I understand as I voiced that they were a problem).

What kind of comments are you making that are resulting in you getting blocked and from where?

That just isn’t true, I literally agreed with you that it was wrong to teach children in that way 2 replies ago. These faiths aren’t hypothetical, I’m just simply not going to get tied down in speaking about the specifics of specific faiths because that’s unnecessarily complicated as you don’t need to educate someone on every aspect of a religion to pass on the cultural values and aspects of it.

Though I agree we’re at an impasse here and neither of us are able to communicate something valuable to the other at the moment. I don’t doubt you’re an ethical person, especially with the amount of thought and care you’ve put into this subject, for whatever that’s worth.

You’re making a few assumptions that simply aren’t globally true, though. 1) That all religious people follow one of the major world religions you’re describing, 2) that all practitioners of those religions follow every rule to the letter, 3) that all religion is taught to children in a vacuum without other, reality based, education alongside it

That simply isn’t representative of the entirety of religious practice by a longshot. And in doing so, you’re ignoring the significance of the cultural aspects of faiths.

Edit: I think the answer would be different if the question was “is it ethical to raise children as orthodox-to-the-letter Catholic Christian” (a few posters have shared some anecdotes that clearly demonstrate the harms with this idea) but it isn’t. The question is if it is ethical to raise children with any religious education whatsoever.

Have you worked in a restaurant? You ever drink a Slurpee?

Trust me, you’re alright eating plenty of things you wouldn’t do consciously. I’m trusting my immune system to be able to fight off whatever contaminants it finds more than the people in the whole line of farm to plate.
