  • Canada says too little, too late as Trump flip-flops on tariffs

    Jump

  • And it’s not like the tariffs were a bait and switch. Trump literally had them in his platform.

    In fact, all the crap he’s been pulling was in his platform. He’s doing exactly what he promised he would do, and half the country was like, “Maybe this isn’t a good idea” and the other half enthusiastically voted him and then are shocked he’s doing exactly what he said he would do.

    This is like the time the UK voted for Brexit and then became shocked when Brexit happened.

    Are there people that are otherwise logical but drop their skepticism when it comes to religion? How do they consolidate those 2 sides of themselves?

  • How do you reconcile that with your discomfort about much of your connection to religion being circumstantial? Isn’t that very different than what you just told me?

    After all, the post you just gave me is the practiced rhetoric of a firm believer. You were able to fall back into it quite easily, but does it accurately reflect how you really feel? Do you still feel this tie to Christ and that you are being held to this divine mandate given that you were saying you (your faith?) was at a low point a couple posts earlier?

  • Why is it good that it makes you uncomfortable? And I’ll go a step further and ask whether all discomfort regarding religion is good. For example, was your chaplain saying you should be uncomfortable because you’re not sure if it’s rooted in truth, or were they saying you should be going out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself to do more and/or expressing your faith in new ways? If so, are the two equivalent?

    I’m asking in genuine curiosity: I grew up Catholic, and never felt much of a community motivation for my religion. Once I got to college, I mostly stopped going to church, with occasional bursts where I’d decide to go for a month or so. So going to church dried up before my faith did for me, and I don’t really understand going in the absence of faith.

    I hung on as an agnostic theist for years, though lately I think I’ve been more of an agnostic atheist. I agree with your sentiment on God existence not being predicated on belief, but have also reached the conclusion that if I need belief to accept something as true, it probably isn’t.

  • Does it bother you that only one of those criteria is actually tied to faith in a god’s existence?

  • You know, I haven’t actually asked them what it is they spray. All I know is almost everyone in my neighborhood does it, then waters their lawn constantly and mows short twice per week. And like 1/3 of them burn their leaves every fall and triggers the hell out of my asthma and allergies.

    Which is silly because I live in the Midwest: grass doesn’t need any help to grow here. I mow a little longer every week or two in the spring and every 2-3 weeks in the summer and my lawn looks lush with 1/3 of the effort and not pouring a bunch of crap on it. And my trimmings decay just fine without sending a plume of smoke to my neighbors.

  • Sure, but then you’re taking it in small cup form rather than as a larger volume drink. That still makes them two very different things.

    If I want a nice, large margarita, telling me I can have a couple shots of tequila misses the point. Nothing against tequila, but a mixed drink and a shot are different enough that one is not a substitute for another.

    Same with espresso. Americano is much closer in form factor to a latte than straight espresso. And more to my post’s point, most times when people say black coffee they mean drip.

  • But black coffee and espresso are two completely different things. Are you suggesting instead they get an Americano?

  • Countries across the world use more land for golf courses than wind or solar energy

    Jump

  • What are you even saying?

    The average golf field is 150 acres. The average soccer field is 1.8 acres. You could fit over 83 soccer fields in a single soccer field.

    And community soccer fields can be used for events, conferences, picnics, other sports such as frisbee, field hockey, etc. Golf courses are just a gigantic waste of space that ruin the surrounding ecosystem to cater to rich assholes.

    Go to areas in Florida, Hawaii, or similar wetland areas where they’ve been drained to set up golf courses. The surrounding areas are all fucked because the golf course screwed the land and it all drains into the surrounding area. You don’t get the same with residential or business areas, because there is a lot more room in those to put small drainage areas instead of just screwing everyone for the golf course.

    Yeah, take that golf course, do something else with it, and use 1/80th of that land for a multipurpose field. The entire community will be way better off.
