As an atheist, kindly shut up. Religion isn't uniquely evil or anything. It's like any other human institution, which means it's susceptible to corruption and control.

When you talk about it like this, you're not helping to deprogram anyone. You just look like a high and mighty ass.

Nope. Brownshirts are fucks. No good press for fascists

I mean, yes. But also pregnancy entails risk, so people opt out if there's no way to pull the plug if something goes catastrophically wrong.

Opossum. This ain't the grey thing from Australia

I mean, they were all junior officers being prepped for leadership roles, so it'd just be a regular Star Trek setup

Further decreasing the birth rate. They really are so uninterested in how policy works or what the effects of their decisions are. It's utterly despicable

Ya know, I'm gonna say that humans are capable of pretty horrific shit without needing to get caught in the weeds like that. Yeah, religions don't have a great track record, but neither do most institutions above a certain age. We really like turning people who aren't with us into people who are against us, and we're biologically programed to then be able to hurt them. Tribes fought and this that wouldn't, died. So, it's basically in all of us on some level.

But before you think we're cruel or horrible, it's not that. We're mostly the result of evolution's whims, like most things on earth. Humans usually innovate not by thinking things through but by trying whatever comes first and winging it from there. It's why the scientific method was such a breakthrough. We didn't get better at finding better ideas, we just wrote down and shared the stupid stuff we did. Then, it was just a matter of time before people iterated enough to find truly beautiful things.

It's why the internet should be a beautiful thing, but assholes want to own it and that means it had to eat up our every waking moment.

Understandable and relatable. You're allowed to notice a change, but please keep it to yourself. Or relay it to others behind my back, that's honestly better. If it's not harmful, then it needn't be discussed.

I wouldn't. Like, half of the people I know say that about me. They're wrong, and that's okay. I just talk when I got something to say

Ai slop, Ai slop. Give me a community that fucking bans unlabeled ai slop, for fuck's sake.
