Unless someone’s intolerant, we can’t tolerate that

That and the Dutch.

That paradox is on display in this thread! People are telling me my beliefs would be wrong because my beliefs are that other people’s beliefs are wrong and you’re not allowed to believe that other people’s beliefs are wrong. But what if I only believe their beliefs are wrong because their beliefs discount other beliefs?

So much easier to ignore the whole lot of it and let people do what they want. I should probably stop replying in this thread now ha. Thanks for the friendly message. Peace!

How dare you decide how my hypothetical religion works

Accepting that they believe in a religion is a slight difference in wording there. It’s not hard to understand. Bangladesh gets it.

I believe in religion X. Religion X has a magic guy in charge who dictates all acceptable behaviour. He literally defines unacceptable behaviour. Some people believe religion Y. Religion Y dictates different behaviour. Unacceptable. Religion Y is UNACCEPTABLE

THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS

One of the main rules mate

Luckily I’m a Virgo so I don’t do stupid things like that

Fair point but I think if I was religious I’d throw myself into it 100%. I’m not gonna half-arse my way into heaven, they’d see through that!

I’m not religious, but if I was, I’d be in the “Strongly agree” category. It’s the only one that makes sense, no? Who would believe in their religion 100% but think that other religions are also fine? It’s like saying you believe in science but astrology is also acceptable.

Ah but suicide is a sin. That’s how they get ya

Yeah I hate this expectation that I have to be completely ok with “friends” avoiding me and cancelling plans. I’m not ok with it, it sucks, and if you keep doing it I’ll find new friends.

In the UK our £2 coins have “Standing on the shoulders of giants” written around the rim, to remind us all that no, you wouldn’t have thought of that, you berk.

I said straight men

You can tell by the fact that straight men never have a “work husband”

Don’t whip a horse that’s already sprinting

Where is your hard evidence?

I’m sure you scrolled past plenty of studies that agreed with me when searching for your cherry picked example.

I’ve seen more and more instances of somebody saying they “Googled it” but what they really did is read Google’s AI overview. That’s not the same.

Extremely happy with this one. I understand everyone’s worries about surveillance and all that, and I agree with a lot of it, but I think in this case it’s worth it. Social media is just that bad.

From my own point of view, I hate hate hate Instagram/Facebook/Tiktok. When my kids get to that age I’d be facing a binary choice of either letting them use it or turning them into the “one weird kid in the class who isn’t allowed insta”. Even if this law is only 25% effective, that’s good enough for me. My kids will be in that 25% not using it, and I don’t have to worry about them being social pariahs.

From a wider point of view, social media is severely fucking up the entire world. I think it’s too much for most adults, let alone kids. No way should kids be on there.

In modern Steven Seagal films, multiple times they’ve shown his “military profile” and it’s always the same picture from Under Siege, back when he wasn’t a fat rapist. Just a chubby sex offender.

I always chat to scammers when they message me. A lot of them ask for Steam cards and I take immense delight in sending them the “I choo choo choose you” card from The Simpsons. Sad that this is coming to an end.

You’re kinda confirming my pet theory that the “I don’t do small talk” people are all cunts
