Where do you live in America? The northeast has cities with things/buildings older than the birth of America (pre-1776) if you want to visit.

They taught us on ink pens in the 1700s. Wait until you hear about how I etched on slate tablets.

Haha okay I love Japanese game shows but I almost can’t call them reality. :P I recommend Silent Library. An older show but great.

Any and all “reality” TV.

I thought you meant baklava and I thought, yes, good idea. Have baklava in mouth at all times.

Thanks for sharing your story. It’s interesting to hear about the feelings you had and the choices you made. Hope the climbing has been a blast!

Animal crossing.

And back when this was a thing, Candy Crush.

Man, your punchline really sealed it. I’m hoping for that meteor too. ☄️🤞

Out of sheer curiosity, what city or place was this garage in??

His daughter was in the social-studies department just like her father, and rowed crew, too, but she had chosen to write her thesis on “The Concept of Reification in Western Marxist Thought,” having come to very different conclusions than her father had about how the world should work. Ackman said it felt as though she “had been indoctrinated” into a cult.

It’s only “indoctrination” when the system of preference isn’t capitalism. They’d never admit capitalism breeds its own cult.

Astute distinction.

Also important to note that Religion and Faith itself are not the problem. I’m not saying that you’re saying this with your comment, but I see on Lemmy the casual relationship between religion and bigotry to almost say religion equals bigotry and I don’t think that’s fair. A truly respectful and inclusive society should be able to include everyone.

I think Interfaith Alliance highlighted a good quote here from Rev. Raushenbush (president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance):

"I want my children to be introduced to the families and traditions of Muslims, Jews, and many other faiths and identities. There’s little doubt that Christian nationalist groups will soon seek the right to opt out from any educational content they object to. It’s a dangerous slippery slope that starts with discrimination against the gay community, but doesn’t stop there.”

Also they stated that the decision clears the way for further discrimination against diverse groups and undermines public education. While falsely claiming the mantle of religious freedom, it in fact suppresses diversity and promotes exclusion.

“It’s just a hell of a way to treat a veteran,” said Carey Holliday, a former immigration judge who is now representing the couple. “You take their wives and send them back to Mexico?”

Trump has never disguised what he thinks about veterans. I’m surprised he’s surprised.
(I’m not)

Lemmy only. Reddit has become some strange mix of Quora and X or something like that at this point.

It’s Luanti* - You got the name wrong

GUNZ The Duel - man that was just so much fun. Online guns and swords gladiator style battles in the most neat stages. I remember an old mansion with broken staircases and balconies, a train station with freight cargo all over the place, an actual roman colosseum, a beach with a grounded ship ashore.

Some people could do this thing called K-style or butterfly style where you slash your sword against walls or other objects which made you lift off the ground, and switch between your gun to shoot as you do so - it was a neat trick which I learned but definitely did not master.

So much fun though.

Long nails are a thing with women of all races. I wouldn’t call it predominantly black. I’d call it predominantly tacky.

True Christians leave the judgement to God. Your dad’s one of the good ones.
