  • The Democrats are campaigning as if the mid-terms will be free and fair elections. That is a mistake.

  • I have listened to Hakeem Jeffries a lot in interviews and the strangest thing is that I legitimately believe that he is a true believer in the Democratic project, and not a cynical opportunist. Somehow he believes that the neoliberal project from the 1990s that has already failed is truly the best way forward. Dude is a bit of a moron but I legitimately think he believes everything he says and does is right.

  • ELI5 How is this legal? Doesn't the constitution give us the right to tell them piss off?

  • You're forgetting the "Nobody is going to stop me" exemption. The constitution is just a piece of paper if nobody is willing to defend it.

  • Greenlanders are mocking the USA on social media by acting like they are fentanyl addicts

  • Yeah IDK why so many Americans are afraid to admit that Trump is merely a symptom of the depraved and corrupt society that created him. The American people, and American culture are the problem. It's not like anyone invaded and installed Trump as a puppet, our dumb asses elected him out of foolishness or greed. Social change is the only way to fix this long term, and I don't see that happening because nobody is willing to do any retrospection on what really caused Trump to take power.

  • YouTube SRV3 subtitles reportedly being disabled, users report custom captions no longer working

  • My guess is they want to replace all the subtitles with their own shitty AI generated subtitles.

  • Americans are paying more than ever for cars. Cheap models are disappearing

    Jump

  • Tbh this is largely consumers' faults. I know so many people who make a lot less money than I do and have similar needs from a vehicle but they still go out and buy big ass trucks and SUVs that cost 2-3x what my car would today. Yes there are systemic problems at play but ultimately the American public are not very good at making good decisions.

  • ChatGPT Gave Teen Advice to Get Higher on Drugs Until He Died | Futurism

    Jump

  • I mean it's not illegal for someone to tell someone else to take more drugs. If two guys are hanging out and one says "hey I think I think I should take more drugs" and the other says "hell yeah brother do it" they aren't responsible if the first guy ODs.

  • Original sin is not a concept found in the Bible. That concept developed later. If you read Genesis, Adam and Eve got kicked out of the garden just for knowing good and Evil, with an implication that this was too close to godhood for God's liking

    Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

    Later scholars interpreted this as an "original sin" that gets passed on to all humans but that isn't in the original text and even today Jews don't believe in original sin despite having the same scripture to work from.

  • Jesus H. Christ

    Jump

  • That is actually the Christian understanding. To make it even weirder, in a sense, Jesus is God in this scenario. So God sacrifices Himself for the sins of humanity.

  • Jesus H. Christ

    Jump

  • This has been a source of debate since the very earliest days of Christianity, but essentially the main idea isn't that suffering in and of itself is what did it, it is that Jesus was a literal ritual sacrifice for the sins of humanity. In ancient Judaism, there was a lot of focus on animal sacrifices, and the Book of Leviticus lays out a very complex and rigid set of sacrifices that must be performed as atonements for each type of ritual impurity or sin, with the degree of sacrifice required roughly corresponding to the seriousness of the offense. It ranged from spiced cakes donated to the Temple for minor offenses to burning an entire bull without eating any of the meat for especially serious ones. Christians believe that by living a perfect human life and by being God incarnate, Jesus proved to be a good enough sacrifice to permanently atone for all the sins of humanity.

    Of course, this begs the question of why God can't decide he just doesn't want to do all these sacrifices to begin with, and that goes back to Greek philosophers like Plato who tried to work out what properties a monotheistic God would have. One of the properties that got worked out was that if God is the greatest possible being, then He cannot change- after all, if He could, then he would have either not been the greatest possible being before, or he would be becoming something other than the greatest possible being. Therefore, if you believe that God created a set laws that demand sacrifice, then they must be in effect forever.

    I would then wonder the validity of the assumption that the ancient Jewish laws were actually God's divine laws in the first place under this set of assumptions, but that is assumed to be true by both Christians and Jews as a matter of faith.

  • The number of people in this comments who think that looking for the key to a gun safe, getting a gun out of it, loading it, and using it to murder someone is normal 11 year old behavior is insane. Kid has some serious issues to be capable of something like this

  • I hate when I accidentally search for the key to a gun safe, accidentally unlock the gun safe with the key, accidentally take the gun out of the safe, then accidentally aim it at someone and then accidentally shoot them with it that's the worst!

  • Disastrous poll shows Trump’s White House return is a ‘failure’: Americans say he’s ‘gone too far’

    Jump

  • I legitimately cannot comprehend polls where people who voted for Trump in 2024 changed their minds.

    Trump- "Hey I'm going to do all this terrible shit"

    Voters- "I'm going to vote for Trump presumably because I like his platform"

    Trump- does exactly what he said he was going to do

    Voters- :(
