This happened to my Mom a few years ago in New Mexico. She was late 70s and immuno-compromised from cancer treatments. She ended up hospitalized on a ventilator due to meningitis resulting from the Listeria infection. She made it out OK, but it was very serious.
Best theory the Health Department had that it was from unpasteurized cheese.
Disagreeing with those specific people for their actions is not the same as hatred for white people. An asshole is an asshole whether they’re black, white or green.
My thoughts exactly at first I was laughing and then I realized how f****** dangerous this is. Yeah lets base AI off of religion… You know the thing that has caused pretty much most of the suffering in the world.
Kids nowadays are so fragile with your participation trophies and dying from touching the ground. In my day, we pull up our bootstraps and head for the coal mines, then lie down on asphalt to nap like Real Men™ do.
Oh yeah! There’s only a 30 year lag between change in input to the atmosphere and temperature, and 70% of emissions are industrial, but if I drive a little less today the world will be saved. Yay.
Not only that, but if you genuinely believed there was an intelligent designer of the universe, wouldn’t you study both the book and the universe as much as possible?
Like, the book claims the creator of the universe is light (1 John 1:5).
In our actual universe, light can be more than one thing at once when it cannot be directly observed, and different separate eventual observers can each observe different results.
If the universe was intelligently designed and their book is correct in claiming that designer is light, then shouldn’t they conclude that there isn’t one correct answer about what that creator is or isn’t while it cannot be observed? And perhaps recognize that different people might each end up observing different results when they individually leave this world to meet it?
But no, instead let’s fight wars over who is absolutely right about the designer of a fundamentally relative universe while closing our eyes to any of the actual study of that universe which disagrees with assumptions that financially benefitted the organization built on top of that book.
Yeah…this Judeo-Christian paradigm is dystopian and misanthropic. People acting in the name of god, any god, tend to be the most hateful people imaginable.
If they're based on "Judeo-Christian" ideology, there's like a 99% chance of multiple genocides, then. Christianity was worse for humanity than three Hitlers put together.
Especially since Hitler himself was Christian. As were frankly almost all medieval European rulers. Christianity has never stopped war (or suffering within wars) and in fact fueled a lot of it.
The fact that some general would make a justification like this is terrifying. If he genuinely thinks this would stop wars or suffering, he’s blatantly uneducated. The other option is that he knows what he’s saying is bullshit and it’s just meant to convince the Christian population, which says terrible things about both how the military is run and how gullible that population is
Before the Russian invasion, I’d always thought Ukraine was a beautiful country. Never been to either country, while I did notice similarities in the architecture and culture, they still had distinct enough flourishes that set them apart. Really, destroying holy sites and places of worship is a very dirty move in warfare. Doing such destroys morale. This cathedral looks like an immaculate place to visit while it was in tact. I hope places like it can be restored soon.
The board voted 3-2 on May 16 to reject the curriculum, with some board members claiming there was not enough parental involvement in the creation process and making comments attacking Milk.
Yeah. I want a bunch of unqualified losers drowning out the professionals with their racism and hate.
What is with America and randos thinking they known more than actual professionals with a lifetime of work experience and learning? This is like epidemiologist hate all over again.
I work in education and I can kind of understand the response from the board. To me, it didn't seem like they were against the curriculum, rather they wanted to cover everyone's ass and make sure there was minimal backlash. I'm glad they new curriculum got pushed through though.
