What’s your favorite dinosaur? I’ve personally always been a huge ankylosaurus fan.

I’ve never understood how one can just throw out half their holy book because their God (supposedly) decided to change the rules. This does not change the fact that he (supposedly) did these evil acts. If you just ignore the parts of the bible you don’t like, God’s a pretty great dude! An argument against Yahweh’s character does not change depending on which parts of the bible are still valid, unless your claim is that the old testament was never valid. In which case, why believe any of it?

Regardless, even the new testament depicts a despicable being. Would it not have been easy, as an all-powerful and all-loving god, to tell people not to own slaves? But no, instead in the new testament slaves are told on multiple occasions to obey their masters. One can preach about love all they want, but when their holy book endorses slavery, I cannot take them seriously.

Regarding your last point, that’s just false. I can criticize the Joker as being evil for killing hundreds, thousands of people. That doesn’t mean the Joker or Batman are real. That’s because I’m criticizing a being described in a story, not something I believe is real.

Edit: I, too, will extend my thinking here. If you believe in an all-powerful and all-knowing god, you need not even look any further through scripture for evidence that he is an evil being. He had the power to create any world with full knowledge of what would be to come, and the world he chose to make was this one. One rife with childhood cancer, slavery, starvation, torture, and natural disasters. This is not a world created by an all-loving being.

I do agree that not all Christians are inherently bad people, but I would be lying if I said I don’t lose respect for anyone who can follow and worship such an awful and evil being as the Christian god.

I can’t tell if I’m tired and missing your point, or if you misunderstood me.

I am specifically referring to inmate-on-inmate SA. As prisons are typically segregated by gender, the offender and victims would both be female in this case. Guard-on-inmate SA on the other hand is mostly male offenders as one might unfortunately expect.

While certainly a minority, they are not negligible. Especially so in prisons, where inmate-on-inmate SA can be over 3 times higher for women than for men.

Well, considering the question was, “is there anything that literally only males like”, and there are in fact women that sexually assault other women, then yes, you are wrong.

Is that absolutely true?

Yeah, despite quitting reddit completely, I often find myself putting site:reddit.com at the start of my searches, especially if it’s something niche and opinionated.

To be clear, I agree Steam letting you turn off advertisements is great, and that I can’t think of any other storefronts that do it. But while that may have been the relevant point to the original topic, it’s not the point I was commenting on. Which is why I didn’t respond to the first comment.

Also not really relevant. My only point was that they are ads.

I did turn it off. That doesn’t really have anything to do with my comment though.

Of fucking course Steam isn’t advertising soda, they sell games. It’s still an advertisement… just because it’s relevant to the platform you’re on doesn’t mean it’s not an advertisement.

99% of my negativity is coming from Lemmy. Scroll by all and it’s difficult to go 2 posts without finding bad news, especially about the US (where I live). Scroll by anything else and there’s barely any content. Honestly, I might need to call it quits on Lemmy for a while.

I can’t blame them, from what I hear the front fell off

So if your friend sends your girlfriend a sexual meme, did she just cheat on you? No, that’s fucking dumb.

Hell, even if she were the one that sent it to him, it still wouldn’t be cheating. But I could at least understand where someone is coming from if they thought it was. Blaming the GF for the friend’s actions though? Lol okay.

Lemon-lime is an odd one to me. At first glance I want to call it yellow, but then the longer I look at it, the greener in gets.

My personal favorite title is:

Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out For Revenge on My Former Party Members and the World

I wonder what it’s about?

Guaranteed no kids?? I was already on board, you don’t have to keep convincing me.

That was me 11 hours ago. I lost, twice. Now it’s too late to have any regrets.
