No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is the US invading Venezuela?
22·10 days agoBecause for a variety of reasons the oil and gas markets are way oversupplied with producers and Trump is trying to at least temporarily kick Venezuela out of the supply side to keep prices from falling too far.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Throw the baby out with the bathwater
12·12 days agoAlso speaking for the US, aspects of the civil rights movement and other positive political movements have at times been critically dependent on Religious organization… and I have no interests in defending Organized Religion, I don’t consider myself Religious but the reality is much more complex than “Religion dumb Science smart”.
For one, the concept of evolution and then genetics absolutely supercharged racism and honestly Science had little capability to mitigate it. The 20th century may have gone very differently if Scientific leaders had immediately resoundingly rejected eugenics at an ideological level rather than attempt to differentiate what they studied from "race ““science”” in the details. In otherwords, Science was incapable of equipping the followers of its ideology with the systematic tools to resist fascism and oppression whereas you can easily demonstrate various different Religious groups that were instrumental in resisting fascism and oppression (and plenty more that weren’t, I am not defending that awful batting average at all).
The reality or unreality of Religion isn’t the point, from a Scientific perspective Religion is relevant because people imbue it with belief and that should be respected for the reality that creates, the point isn’t that God exists or doesn’t honestly I think no question could be more boring to a true follower of Science who would know such questions by definition cannot be answered via the Scientific Method. A true Scientist is also driven by a love for the universe that is around them, and ultimately that isn’t too different than someone who is truly Religious at the core of the human experience of it.
Organized Religions are always two things, the Religion itself and the political structure of the Religion and in many cases those political structures can be very hostile to Science, but I do not believe inherently so and I do not believe it is a lack of Scientific thinking that allows the political structures of Religion to become hostile towards Science since Science cannot even prevent the internal structures it is built upon from becoming hostile towards itself.
It is funny that the more you talk about “Science” and the more you talk about “Religion” the more universally relevant yet irrelevant the words become, the important stuff always escapes a single word like that…

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•What Americans in a 1998 poll expected to happen by the year 2025
52·13 days agoYeah but even if things were like that this question is still like asking “Do you participate in recreational activities such as snuggling up with a blanket and reading or bungee jumping?”.
The two drugs just don’t have much to do with each other, they are done in completely different social environments with totally different intentions.
I mean I am sure most people who do cocaine also are willing to smoke weed but that is more of a “why not?” thing than there being any logical connection at all between the two drugs (if you are willing to break societal norms and do coke, you are also probably willing to break societal norms less and do marijuana).

262·13 days agoThe line my shitty parents would always give was “all the people we know who do a lot of marijuana are burn outs and don’t go anywhere in life” to which my internal mental response has evolved into “CORRECTION all the people you know who are stupid enough to let your judgemental-ass know they smoke marijuana you mean”.
Some of my parents best friends regularly smoked marijuana when I was growing up and neither me nor my parents knew because those adults knew how childlike and intellectually unserious my parents’ judgements were around drug use.

You ever think about the fact that if we put our minds together and made funny clips of excited baby goats set to actually good classic rock go viral as a meme we could essentially disappear Kid Rock from search engines?
We could call the meme Kid Rock 2 and whenever anyone brings up Kid Rock 1 just mercilessly shit on it and say Kid Rock 2 is far better and Kid Rock 1 isn’t worth watching.

FTFY
Someone goes to fist bump you and you realize your repertoire of cool fist bump moves such as “snail”, “snowman” and “turkey” has vastly expanded.
Your upper body twists 180 degrees in a flash, you are horrified but somehow the magic power of the cool S has kept you alive even after your torso has been twisted to the extreme. You look down at your butt in front of you and it dawns on you that must live the rest of your life assbackwards as a human S.




Jehan Pages, you have bestowed my life with an abundance of badly edited memes and given me a trade that can I be proud of (making badly edited memes in Gimp), thank you.
