TrismegistusMx , (edited ) in Appeals court lets Kentucky enforce ban on transgender care for minors

Not all of us. I'm Ky born and raised and a trans woman. While we do have an over abundance of religious bigots about a third of us are decent people.

kgbbot , in Oklahoma parents, faith leaders and education group sue to stop US’s first public religious school

This is bullshit and whoever is trying to make this reality needs to learn about separation of church and state and ponder it while they have all influence and decision making power stripped permanently since they lack reading comprehension skills.

NoStressyJessie ,

These people have spent decades pretending that Thomas Payne et all were good little Christian fundamentalists who thought that Christian rule was such a no brainer they just never thought any other religious group could exist, and that it is a foregone conclusion that all of law and order was divinely inspired by Judeo Christian thought and values, and didn’t exist prior, because nothing existed prior to their Stone Age fan fiction.

Can you imagine the outcry if Muslims attempted this same bullshit? What about if the satanic temple did it?

Let’s try to make it happen.

I mean, fuck it, why the hell not.

I’m betting a decent part of it is the bear(s) just seeing people and how they behave every day, not too surprising they might imitate it. Animals are intelligent too after all

MicroWave OP , in Biden to keep US Space Command in Colorado, reversing Trump decision
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

The move is sure to anger Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, who is continuing a hold on senior military nominations that is now impacting more than 300 flag and general officers over the Pentagon’s abortion policy. Tuberville has been an outspoken proponent of moving SPACECOM to Alabama. But US officials have previously told CNN that they had concerns about Alabama’s reproductive health policies and what it would mean for servicemembers there if SPACECOM were moved to Huntsville.

HikingVet ,

Tuberville should sit on a cactus.

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

The fact that Alabama elected a former football coach to the senate is so on brand for the state it hurts. Guy’s a moron

The whole south is a joke. Louisiana elected a racist shit cop whole people thought was badass cause he’d make some little gravy seal news clips calling out gangs.

MicroWave OP , in Fulton County D.A. receives racist threats as charging decision against Trump looms
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

She pointed to a threatening email she received last week with a subject line reading, “Fani Willis = Corrupt N*****.” The body of the email said, “You are going to fail, you Jim Crow Democrat whore.”

Willis said the message was “pretty typical” of what her office has been receiving and said she is aware of “equally ignorant voicemails” that have come into the county office and to her own office. She said she expects more over the next month. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported Wills’ warning to the county commissioners.

imPastaSyndrome ,

Wait… Jim Crow? How does that make sense…

HikingVet ,

That confused me as well.

WalrusDragonOnABike ,

Maybe they see Jim crow as a step backwards from what was around not long before?

CmdrShepard ,

Or maybe he’s living 1850s racism and considers Jim Crow racism too new and progressive.

Or he’s just a moron.

newthrowaway20 ,

Which is pretty on brand for ignorant racism if we’re gonna be honest.

dhork ,

They see their GEOTUS being held accountable for his crimes as a transgression against their race, and all the “wokeness” as just as much of a civil rights issue as when people were subjugated based on the color of their skin. Add in the fact that the Democrats were the racist party 100+ years ago, and you get the tortured logic that Democrats now are just as bad as they were then.

HikingVet ,

Yeah, this is why I don’t like being civil with right wing individuals.

nostalgicgamerz ,

Exactly. Tolerance is a two way street. It is not a doormat to do whatever the fuck you want with my rights and I have to take it

fluxion ,

Yes I’m sure that will make her see the error of her ways

Charge them with what? It’s not illegal to be an ignorant piece of shit.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s illegal to be an ignorant piece of shit who makes threats.

timespace ,

I agree if there were threats made. The article doesn’t cite any such threat.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Why exactly do you think she wrote, “Please make decisions that keep your staff safe?”

timespace ,

Out of an abundance of caution?

The article doesn’t provide any such threat being made. I’m not saying there weren’t threats made, I’m saying I don’t know, because the article doesn’t provide that information.

HikingVet ,

Do you need glasses or a lesson in context?

timespace , (edited )

Why are you being a cunt? Does the article list any threats or does it not? Can you read?

I’m not defending these assclowns. I don’t support racist idiots. I’m just pointing out that there aren’t any threats being made in the article, and the US has strong free speech laws - you’re allowed to call people racist names if you want to, it’s a protected right to do so. If any of these dumb fucks threatened the DA, then yes that is a punishable offense.

HikingVet ,

She pointed to a threatening email she received last week with a subject line reading, “Fani Willis = Corrupt N*****.”

Just because you didn’t get to read it, doesn’t mean it wasn’t threatening.

Yeah, I’m being a cunt (your words) because you seem to be seallioning.

These are credible and you just seem to want to downplay it.

So glasses or a lesson in context clues?

timespace ,

I’m not downplaying anything lmao. You’re reading so hard into my comments trying to find something that isn’t there.

I was questioning what people would be charged for, because the quotes in the article are not chargeable.

I’ll say it again because you clearly are having a tough time comprehending - if threats were made, those people should be charged with a crime.

HikingVet ,

So both. Got it.

They probably withheld the ACTUAL EVIDENCE because there probably is an ONGOING investigation.

timespace ,

Again, no evidence of any of that from the article. You keep injecting things without any evidence.

Carry on!

HikingVet ,

Do you have a better source? Or are you just pissing around because people are taking these people’s word on it? Because again you really haven’t shown why they shouldn’t be believed

timespace ,

Who should be believed? What are you on about?

I’m not sure how to make this any more clear - the article does not provide anything about threats being made or an ongoing investigation.

So my original question was, based on the linked article, what would these dumb racist fucks be charged with?

Since you seem to admit the article does not provide evidence of threats of bodily injury or harm being made, and no ongoing investigation thereto, it seems only reasonable to conclude at this time based on the evidence in the article there is not a charge that can be made against these dumb pieces of shit.

That’s my only point. That’s it. Are we on the same page yet?

HikingVet ,

Pretty sure a DA can tell whether the contents of the email that we are not privy to qualify as harassment or threats. JFC what kind of stunned cunt are you?

timespace ,

Again, you’re injecting - she is never quoted as saying such in the fucking article you thick twat.

Your clearly don’t understand the point I am making here. It’s like I’m talking to a 4 year old.

Free speech is protected. Threats against someone are not. Given the article, on what basis would charges be made against one of the people sending these gross emails?

I’ll spell it out for you, again. NONE. The DA doesn’t say she received threats in the article. The article only quotes nasty emails, that are void of threats.

Jeez what a strong woman

Zoldyck , in Call for large trial to see if kombucha helps Type 2 diabetes after 'very promising' results

The health benefits of fermented food in general are widely underestimated. And the huge negative impact of things like sugar and alcohol on your microbiome as well.

bernieecclestoned ,

Kombucha contains both sugar and alcohol

LoafyLemon ,

Guys, is alcohol made from fermented food? Is that really true? /s

hydroel ,

I don’t know how kombucha might be “good” for type 2 diabetics. The test sample in this study was of 12 people, I don’t think any conclusion can be drawn yet.

Kinyutaka ,

True, but hopefully the next study will be wider in scope.

doppelgangmember ,

*too much of

SilverCode ,

I recently watched a YouTube video of someone making Kombucha and when they added in the large amount of sugar I thought that there is no way it is “healthy”. Ive never tried kombucha so I don’t know how sweet it should be, but I’m hoping that recipe was the outlier

SeaJ ,

If it is prior to fermentation, the bacteria will eat up most of the sugar and either make alcohol or carbonation.

afraid_of_zombies ,

The bacteria eat up a most of the sugar however it has sugar in it. I was into the homemade stuff for a while and if you spilled it outside ants had a party there the next day and you could feel that sticky sweet residue.

ZapBeebz_ , in Florida may become first state to accept a ‘classical’ alternative to the SAT and ACT

On the one hand, I completely support competition to the college board. It’s a bloated organization that profits off a monopoly. On the other hand, the CLT is some hard-right christo-fascist bullshit. So fuck the CLT

BonesOfTheMoon , in Appeals court lets Kentucky enforce ban on transgender care for minors

What a terrible thing to do.

TransplantedSconie , in Pentagon hit by ‘critical compromise’ of US air force communications – report

“In another potential security issue facing the government, the New York Times reported on Saturday that the Joe Biden White House was hunting alleged Chinese malware that it believes is hidden across various American facilities.”

I wonder who allowed Chinese Nationals access to various American facilities?

MicroWave OP , in Oil major BP posts 70% drop in second-quarter profit, raises dividend by 10%
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

Like Shell, BP has attracted criticism in recent months for watering down its climate commitments. In 2020, the company committed to become a net-zero company “by 2050 or sooner,” then said earlier this year that it would scale back plans to cut carbon emissions by reducing its oil and gas output.

    I heard the visitors to the zoo were bears in people costumes. It’s worth noting that zoo officials have yet to comment on this.

    You’d expect this to happen in the USA. I never knew the Chinese also had the right to bear arms.

    sylver_dragon , in Oklahoma parents, faith leaders and education group sue to stop US’s first public religious school

    Time for The Satanic Temple to open Satan’s Elementary School and apply for charter funding.

    FlashMobOfOne ,
    @FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

    This is how you kill it. I hope the TST does just that.

    Gork ,

    Or even just getting them to squabble over which Christian denomination the school will follow. Baptist? Mormons? A specific protestant denomination? Or maybe even the gasp Catholics who are swayed by the Pope! Get them to internecine fight over their flavor of God to follow and it’ll break apart in no time.

    Hellsadvocate ,

    It won’t be killed. We’ve already seen them allow bibles in schools while denying every book conservatists don’t want. It’s a double standard that’s not being enforced in the federal court level. And if you think the supreme court will block that then good luck.

    BertramDitore ,
    @BertramDitore@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah, this is what’s so frustrating. The Supreme Court has been pretty clear that it will only rule in favor of religious freedom for Christians. Access to abortion is critical for Jews and Muslims for example, but that doesn’t stop them from subjecting all of us to the extreme Christian belief on the matter. They’ve even gone as far as to say that the beliefs of reform or moderate Jews don’t count as Jewish beliefs because only the orthodox count (someone smarter than me can find the SCOTUS opinion that says this, it’s real). So yeah, religious freedom for Christians, no one else.

    doppelgangmember ,

    We should all be joining The Satanic Temple at this point.

    fight fire with fire

    fadingembers ,
    @fadingembers@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Don’t worry, they’ll just make an exception that only christian public schools are allowed just like they made exceptions for cis children to get gender affirming care and surgeries in their blatantly unconstitutional/genocidal trans care bans

    FlashMobOfOne ,
    @FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

    I mean, they’ll try.

    Arkansas tried that but TST still got their Baphomet statue.

    And then the media, because of there’s one common accumulator of clicks, it is other people being dumb, so that one’s reading it feel smarter.
