Remember a week ago when there was “not enough time” to replace Biden? Clearly that was bullshit but no one wants to talk about it.

True, we're part of the problem. My personal solution is just to use Lemmy less than I would otherwise

Don't mean to make anyone feel guilty, I'm just venting based on my life experiences lol. Hypothetically, I could know three languages.

She’s repeatedly refused federal aid for school food programs and social services.

I'm pretty open minded, but what could possibly be the rational behind this shit? I guess the money comes with strings attached?

There would be no religious wars, honor killings, more freedom, no religious leaders abusing their powers, no waste of labor and money on religious things, etc. It may seem that we would be more educated and have better understanding.

Removing the word religion from this excerpt wouldn't remove any of these problems. We would still squabble over territory, resources, and ideological differences. To give a non-religious analogy: if a time traveler went back and killed Hitler, Germany would still retain all the problems from WW1 and the Weimar Republic that were ripe for a dictatorship.

I understand that modern outer layers are more functional. A leather jacket, for example, can be dressed up or down so as to be worn in a variety of situations. It is also better at keeping you warm.

However, I think capes/cloaks are more aesthetically pleasing garments. It also feels good to have the fabric flowing around you as you walk. But what do you think?
