this so much. trans people are just people, we’re just as capable of being fools and monsters as any other demographic. see: caitlyn jenner, blair white, chris chan, etc

the average american is undereducated and highly propagandized.

there but for the grace of god go you and me, friend.

most online “atheists” i encounter are doing the exact same dogmatic fundie bullshit turned in the other direction, complete with contrived misinformation, cherry-picked statistics, and intellectually dishonest “gotchas”. if they actually cared they’d take the backfire effect into account instead of souring the discourse and making everyone dig in their heels.

Atheism, at least the variety that’s popular online, is functionally a religion unto itself.

ayy it’s almost like religion is an essentially intrinsic human thing that won’t go away just because some people don’t like it. kinda like being gay.

somehow you have a worse understanding of religion than evangelicals have of science

then again, a pompous atheist on the internet has no idea about the thing he’s trying to criticize, color me fucking shocked.

i believe you but this doesn’t seem to be in OP’s article, can i see what you were looking at?

can confirm, my last carrier wanted like $15/mo for the ability to use the hotspot function built into my phone. only a metered amount, of course. if i tried to enable it it would immediately disable and send me a notification with a link to upgrade the plan.

whatever.

at least i wrote it myself and didn’t ask a chatbot to direct me.

they’re so touchy about it and stuck on “oh noes that’s mean :(” that i’m beginning to suspect the post makes them feel insecure about their own chatbot addiction.

im calling a behavior weird, because it is. sorry that makes you insecure?

if whatever is going on in your head results in “ask chatgpt about a personal question with no correct answer”, that’s fuckin’ weird and should absolutely be stigmatized. don’t like it? then don’t be fucking weird about chatbots.

probably the same thing as whatever tucker carlson took that made him want to screech to the world about how he tans his balls.

“youre not supposed to know that yet” then why in fucks name did you ask lady?

PBS Spacetime’s approach was a pair of videos titled “Why String Theory is True” and “Why String Theory is False” and between them that pretty much put it to bed for me. cool math, cool worldbuilding, call me when they make a testable prediction. until then it goes on the scrap pile with aether and phlogiston.

nah, that’s fucken weird

i say do watch the ones about string theory and mond so you can see why/how they’re wrong

“rationalism” is the choice religion of 87 IQ brainlets who think they’re geniuses for being able to read Voltaire.

everyone’s clutching pearls and rushing to (rightly) point out hypocrisy.

but this is what religious freedom looks like, and it’s the same religious freedom that makes it legal to be a rotten asswipe of a capital-A internet Atheist. if they were leading the whole chamber that would be different, but that isn’t what’s happening here.

this is fine, actually. grow up.
