Not only is he citing the Hebrew Bible, it SAYS IN THE LINK THAT HE POSTED THAT HE'S CITING THE HEBREW BIBLE.

Seriously, kids these days, it's like nobody goes to Vacation Bible School anymore

Is he crazy? There is a real danger he's going to split the Green Party vote, and cost them the White House!!

It would be a poor dictionary that excluded such a widely used word as "discombobulated."

Good luck with it!

I have it but I have never really had much reason to use it over iphone + content blockers + DDG search.

I guess it'd be helpful for syncing bookmarks with desktops where I use firefox, but I don't really worry about that, and as for passwords, I've got Bitwarden for that.

The conclusion (no straws at all are better) makes sense, but... The Conversation can be kind of gratuitously contrarian. "WELL ACTUALLY there are forever chemicals in paper straws!" Ok, why? "Maybe because they're in the soil where the bamboo was grown or in the paper that they were recycled out of" Ok this sounds like a "forever chemicals are fucking everywhere" problem not a "paper straws are super bad" problem.

But "oh no eco friendly is actually eco HOSTILE" is a clickbaitier take.

"Why do members of this oppressed group side with oppressors" is a perennial question, like why are there so many Republican women when Republicans generally are anti-woman...

The answer is usually something like, if you're high on the totem pole in several ways the fact that you're not high on the totem pole in all ways might not matter so much to you.

If you're rich, straight, cis, and male, but not white, you get a lot out of being rich and male and straight and cis, so you may support the group that protects the interests of rich, straight, male people, even though they might not be nice to black people, the fact that you're on the same page on so many other axes means at least they'll usually treat you OK cause you're one of them in so many other ways.

Also: poor white straight cis men.
