Performing surgery on someone and putting up a sheet of drywall have very different stakes

Nah it wouldn't be that, those sorts of land acknowledgements are very common in Melbourne, especially in the Arts, that would have been perceived as utterly uncontroversial by the MSO

That's the dictionary definition perhaps, but not what they're pushing for. Conservatives talk about small government etc, but really it's about rewarding the ingroups and punishing the outgroups.

They want to revert reproductive rights, with the government tracking periods and investigating women's bodies. That's weird af. They love the police state and mass surveillance, recording people's messages and web activities is hugely creepy. It's weird if a person snoops on you like that, and it's weird if the government does it. They care way too much about what's between your legs and which gender you sleep with, again, weird.

Edit: also just to add there is good weird and bad weird. Good weird is being yourself despite what the mainstream does, bad weird is forcing your viewpoints on others

Based. We need all the union influence we can get in tech, particularly game dev. Make the MBAs in suits sweat a bit.

The president of the United States affects the rest of the world but we don't have a say in who it is, so I don't know what you expect from us foreigners? Perhaps my country which is a staunch US ally and a fraction of the size should launch a coup?

Sort your shit out, America, because nobody is in a position to do it for you. We're making jokes because it seems unreal that things have gotten this far and because there is no real way for us to influence US domestic politics.

Fair enough, but isn't it reasonable to want the president of the United States to be someone who doesn't fall apart after 9pm?

Yeah this is reporting on the feedback from a focus group of like 20 people conducted by some Latino TV station... Not sure how representative that is of the wider electorate...

Please tell me, scientifically, why you are so sure that people of faith are wrong?

Because they all offer competing and mutually exclusive hypotheses.

Christianity tells us that the one true path to salvation is by accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour.

Hinduism tells us that our next life will take place in this world, based on our actions in this life.

Islam tells us that Mohammed is the one true prophet.

Buddhism says that there are no prophets, enlightenment only comes from within.

They make contradictory claims, so by definition they can't all be right, and they typically claim that they are correct and the other explanations are false, so even if one religion is correct, the rest (comprising of the majority of the faithful) must be wrong.
