All religions, consist of rules for how things should be.

That is not compatible with live and let live. That I reference the worst of them does not make the lesser ones innocent. Just lesser. Half bad is still bad. So is a quarter. Or any fraction.

Religion is informal law, which unlike actual law, is not up for a vote. And believers do get to vote, which can make their laws, our laws.

Trusting them to “live and let live” which in their frame of reference might doom others to some purgatory or other, isn’t as valid an option as you make out. And I don’t think anyone should have to make that internal moral compromise.

I don’t subscribe to the idea that people shouldn’t try to change how others live.

When does saving someone from drowning, become trying to force them to live like you do? Meddling for someone’s own good, is not a bad thing.

Advocating for bicycle helmets is good. Why isn’t saving people from hell?

The difference, is whether you meddle based on something that is real.

Some people do not believe helmets do anything. Should we not try to save them anyway?

Religions introduce a bunch of bullshit that has made saving people from themselves a shameful thing to attempt, just so that we can all semi-functionally co-exist.

The problem is when you try to force your religion on everybody else.

Which religion does by existing. Everyone gets to vote. And as long a religions exist, some will do so based on things that are not real.

Additionally, respecting different ways of life, and being religious, are mutually exclusive concepts.

Someone that can genuinely think the way I live my life leads to eternal damnation, and also respect my right to choose, is not a good person. To merely treat others decently, the religious must reconcile internal moral beliefs in ways no-one should have to.

Non-secular thinking is not compatible with a secular utopia on earth. And I’m not talking about horoscopes. But religion, which by definition, is a set of rules for how society should work and how people should live. Often applied on the pain of death, or worse.

Pushing those rules on non-conformers is a intrinsic systemic component. Religion without it is not religion. It’s just a nice idea, which subscribers get to hold dear while somehow accepting that anyone who doesn’t must inevitably rot in hell, and they have to be ok with that.

Atheist?

We call ourselves antitheist.

(Yes, I’ll talk about the ills of religion and why it should be abolished. No, I’m not doing it at grandmas deathbed.)

Has anyone though about the fact that the turbolifts are voice controlled, but don’t announce where they’re arriving?

Lots of times we see people joining other people already in the lift. People always just announce their destination as they step into the lift, and presumably it figures out how to most efficiently get to each place the people in the lift are going, and whether to pick up more people on the way. But not once is anyone confused about whether to get off when the lift stops somewhere. And would it not be more efficient to announce where you’re headed at the door, before a lift arrives, so that the system can group people going in the same direction?

Does everyone just “know” the different decks and locations by sight? Is there a display that shows the current deck/location, or what direction a lift is headed?

Nice !dungeonmeshi@ani.social art.

Obviously the turblift cabin is simply beamed in its entirety when crossing the gap.

She’s probably being arrested for being freaky and into petplay, and she’s beyond furious about these completely unfounded accusations.

There’s also Rem, Dynamo, and Viscous.

Yup

Michiru ❤️ Best trigger girl imo. And that’s saying something considering Akko, Nia, Ryuko and Mako exist.

Gorgeous.

That’s going in my wallpaper rotation.

Bicycle parking is gone?

I can see it might not fit, since they clearly kept the path wide enough for emergency services to still use it.

The secret ingredient is crime no sense of morality.

Neat.

I never got latencyflex working, hopefully this’ll become more widely functional.

Vitut että Israel on kakkosena.

Wierd pick, but Dorohedoro.

The world and main plot are undeniably dark. But at the same time side threads and charachters have a juxtaposed wholesome and positive outlook, and tonally things work like a slice of life a lot of the time.

It’s great.

I think of them as on the same spectrum.

A thin skinned person, is someone when you stab verbally or try to otherwise harm them in a non-physical manner, it goes straight through, and they are hurt by it. It affects their confidence, behaviour and health.

A thick skinned person, is someone you can insult, and they can dismiss the meaning of the words, and be unaffected by the intended harm.

But that is not mutually exclusive with going “wtf, did you just try to stab me?”. They are opposites, in the sense that the word describes whether malicious words or actions can “pass through” and have the intended effect.

But if someone tries to shoot me, and I’m wearing armor that means it won’t kill me, that still leaves the fact that they tried to shoot me. That I was able to survive it does not make the attempt on my life ok. Being thick skinned, or “wearing armor”, doesn’t mean you react to attacks with inaction.

It describes whether you suffer harm when under fire. Not how you behave in reaction to it.

A lot of people think of being thick skinned as synonymous with turning the other cheek. But being able to take BS doesn’t mean you have to passively allow it.

You don’t sound thin skinned.

Having a thick skin doesn’t mean being unbothered by people trying to walk over you, and thereby letting them.

I get accused of being thinskinned sometimes because of starting a confrontation over a problem or behaviour I’ve noticed, but that makes no sense. Being sensitive to issues is not a weakness, and being numb to them is certainly not a strength.

I can push for change precisely because I’m unbothered by the stress of working against the status quo.

But like others said, you don’t always need to convince. If you say you won’t cover a task because it’s not your responsibility, then there is nothing to discuss. If they expect a task to be done even when you said it won’t, that is not your problem.

It’s theirs.

No?

I get that clients might break, but the web portal running inside vaultwarden isn’t gonna suddenly stop working.

Vaultwarden itself is self-contained. An API change won’t do anything to it.

Uh… What does the “off” button do? As opposed to mute+leave?
