  • The definition of Christian is "one who believes in Christ" I'm aware that Christians don't want Mormons to be part of their in group, but they do believe in Christ and the Bible, so if you want them out you would have to change the fundamental definition of "Christianity". It's wild how many people don't understand the fundamental definitions of words that we all agree to use. I'm literally not asserting anything except that they believe in Christ, and religious people want to freak out about it and say no they don't? Great example of how religion is pernicious and divisive.

  • By definition a Christian is someone who believes in Christ and Mormons do unequivocally. Though they are no more a cult than any other religion. Every denomination of every religion thinks every other denomination or religion is wrong and a cult, hence why religion does more harm than good in my opinion. 10 billion people, 10 billion religions. Except atheists and agnostics we are all on the same page, but that's not a "religion"

  • Even if he was, this is still taking one random person's actions and applying them to an entire population. This is also the vice president who should definitely not fucking be the one doing that shit, because statements from a leader of the nation obviously carry infinitely more weight on the national psyche and climate of violence

  • Not exactly what you're talking about, but canonically in some of the souls games and specifically elden ring you are a being that is immortal, but pathetic, theoretically. So dying over and over is just kind of written into the lore

  • My sister served her Mormon mission here and that church did a bunch of fucked up things to get missionaries in and out of the country without the authorities knowing. Super fucking sketchy and my sister got caught in the middle of some civil war shit. The church doesn't give a fuck about laws or the lives of their missionaries

  • I also wish us (the US) bad things right now, my person. The piggish nature of America will only be seen by our ignorant civilians when they experience personal pain and suffering. We joke about how republikkkans only care when something affects them directly, but I'm starting to realize just how directly and how much of an impact it actually has to make for even that much to be true

  • It's because it fucking sucks. Especially if you were already a person that knows how to search the internet and find the best answer already. That only took an extra 10 to 15 seconds most of the time, and you could be sure of where you got the information and whether this source is accurate or biased. That's to say nothing of the dangers, which tech bros actually don't give a shit about. The tech industry has historically gone from technological advancement to technological advancement in order to stay relevant and continue making the same level of money, or more than they were before. We finally reached a point where there's not really any big problems to solve with the current tech, and no real obvious next step, so they are looking for their next big breakthrough and trying to force one in the meantime. The sad thing is what they want to be the next big break is just not there yet, to me it kind of seems like it won't ever be the way they want it, and there's no way to know when we might get there with it. So instead they are taking this disinformation robot and pushing it into the lives of everyone so that they can now use the disinformation and improved information gathering as their new business model, because just pausing growth is a death sentence for a company in unregulated capitalism. If your company can't grow like a cancer, you become irrelevant and die
