  • In the secondary, new-age definition of "literally" yes that's true.

    We lost the war for "literally". It's now just an emphasis word. The definition is mind bending:

    1)in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

    2)informal; used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

    On the bright side less people use "absolutely" incorrectly than before.

  • Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers
  • Please tell me of this enlightened place you come from where racism and discrimination do not exist. Surely they also are accepting refugees and I need but apply? No?

    Everyone but my tribe are _______. Hehe I'm so clever.

  • Thieves caught stealing political yard signs
  • It sounds like the cost of the air tag would kick the value over 200. Not sure if stealing it by proxy would be considered.

    When I was a kid my dad picked up a bunch of political signs AFTER the election to use as free range targets. A cop stopped him and gave him a hard time but nothing came of it.

  • One Issue 'Christian' Voters
  • I can't speak with confidence on the existence of Moses or a figure that was the basis of the legend.

    By the "time of Moses" I mean around 1300BCE.

    It's hard to prove a man didn't exist. It's easy to state there is no evidence of Exodus as biblically described.

  • Trump suggests giving Vladimir Putin whatever he wants
  • You should take a moment to read up on the topic.

    Trump signed the original agreement with the Taliban. Biden delayed the deal from May until September. Trump had a year to handle sorting the agreement he made.

    Most of us understand both presidents failed in it's execution. It's important you know that Trump lit a short fuse and walked away.

  • One Issue 'Christian' Voters
  • There is no archeological evidence of Israelites residing in Egypt at the time of Moses nor of their enslavement there.

    It is widely agreed that the tribes of Israel decended from Canaanites and other locals.

    I wish modern christians would revise the bible. It's not like they haven't done it before.

  • Dems blast 'evil' Trump team over debate watch party at gun store near GA school shooting
  • So you "don't care whatsoever" about fixing the problem you seem so passionate about and would rather winge about it. The rest of us are interested in solutions. You are soapboxing to primarily left leaning people here on Lemmy so I don't know who you are hoping to proselytize.

  • Dems blast 'evil' Trump team over debate watch party at gun store near GA school shooting
  • Plenty of gun owners are for common sense gun legislation, background checks, mandatory safety instruction, etc. If you want to enact change we need them on our side. What you are doing just creates division and slows any progress we make toward sanity. Mediate your rhetoric.

  • United States fast food chains in Europe
  • The one that surprised me is Hooters. They were in Vienna, Budapest, and Prague just to name a couple places. There is a KFC in Venice. There are several Taco Bell in Barcelona including one across the street from La Sagrada Familia. You can see a Burger King and a Subway "sandwich" shop from the Eiffel tower.

    My travels in Europe surprised the hell out of me. Virtually every metro area is full of American trash food chains. The one cool thing is they sometimes have local variations on food. I ate at a KFC in Prague out of morbid curiosity and they had an interesting take on the spicy chicken sandwich.

  • He will weep.
  • My non-negotiable medicines were developed while utilizing animals as test subjects. I own pets and I will not entertain the idea that needs to change. I'd rather avoid the confusion in naming and not debate what qualifies as vegan.

  • He will weep.
  • Mountains don't grow in a day. We don't feel the ground shifting under us.

    I would argue the majority of people react to sharp critique by closing themselves off. I know plenty of people that started by reducing their meat intake to a few meals a week. That kind of conversion is the most likely to get results.

  • He will weep.
  • Because idealistic posturing is for children and getting someone to eat less meat is more helpful than creating an atmosphere where vegans/vegetarians have to spend time apologizing for the loud minority.
