  • Christian photographer wins right to discriminate against LGBTQ+ couples

    Jump

  • I don't know what the person you're replying to does for work, but I feel like what their work is really makes a big difference. Teachers don't (or shouldn't) teach kids any differently based on orientation, political ideology, etc., other than perhaps excusing them from work that goes against their beliefs (for example celebrating a holiday they take objection to). The teacher isn't required to "go against their beliefs" and do something they disagree with, only to keep their mouth shut about any disagreements they may have with a student's lifestyle. A teacher should not be able to refuse to teach anyone because they are not being asked to do a special job catering to any particular student. If they disagree with the curriculum, I would guess they just shouldn't be a teacher then (as in, if you're a high school science teacher you may be required to teach evolution).

    Similarly with a doctor, they should not be able to say "I refuse to treat you because you're gay/religious/political." Everyone gets the same medical care. The only exception I can think of is transgender medical care, but if they don't want to do that they can just not go into that field.

    Anything that involves creating is a little different. A wedding photographer would be more actively participating in a gay wedding. Or a Christian wedding, etc. If they feel really uncomfortable with that, they shouldn't have to. That doesn't change my opinion that they're closed-minded and bigoted, and it doesn't mean people can't leave them bad reviews stating as much. Plus, these services are not basic rights, whereas healthcare and education are basic rights.

  • And just eat in general. My goodness sometimes I'm so surprised, I'll be feeling terrible (usual for me) and I'll realize I haven't eaten in a long time and take like one bite of something and instantly my headache and possibly fatigue are significantly better.

  • Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices

    Jump

  • I would literally never pay money for my kid to be able to watch Disney or probably any TV. The only thing I ever pay money for is a few educational apps and they are cheap. You can't rent kid's movies at the library if you don't pirate things.

  • This article says they're raising it to $10, no? I think this is the article I read earlier. But Central Park is fantastic and the only thing I know about Apple TV.

  • Gettin real goddamn tired of dogs

    Jump

  • I've rarely seen this. I have seen some inconsiderate things like people thinking they could bring their "purse dogs" in Dollar Tree? But I've never been to anyone's house where the dog is just allowed to steal food, or jump on people, etc. Other than a few well-behaved service dogs in my lifetime, I've never seen a dog in a restaurant. That's not legal. I've heard of people acting like ESAs have public access, but I've never actually seen it.

  • Just sayin'...

  • I like when I come here and someone has the same thought process as I and also someone follows up with checking the hypothesis.

  • 'Scripture is very clear': New House Speaker tells Congress God has 'ordained' them

    Jump

  • I've been saying this for a long time. I genuinely think this would yield better results.

  • Sure it is

    Jump

  • I'm not saying it's exactly the same, but I've heard of American kindergarten teachers being told to take down the color learning rainbow decor which were NOT pride flags because bigoted parents threw a huge fit about the gay decorations. I've seen unironic videos of people claiming any decor featuring a rainbow in a classroom is LGBTQ indoctrination. And they were pointing at cartoon depictions of the sky, like with smiling clouds and suns.

  • Nothing to see here...

  • I suppose it would be cheap and effective to use the bird's superior wing?

  • Question to the ones that fully left Reddit

    Jump

  • I fully quit Reddit in June when Sync couldn't access Reddit anymore. I sometimes miss aspects of it. I'm trying to do things in the real world more. I'm on Lemmy a few times a week. For a while I was on Lemmy every day, but the content didn't keep up with my consumption. I do like the content better, but there's less of it. I'm trying to replace these things with better habits. I spend time online looking for local events and looking up tutorials on YouTube (NewPipe). I'm actually trying to do those events and follow those tutorials. The less content I take in, the better I feel. Trying to develop real world ambitions. It's a little tricky.

  • PSA To people watching YouTube with AdBlockers

    Jump

  • It's good to keep in mind, but I mean do you sit there through 1-3 minute ads not skipping forward? I don't watch much television, I mostly watch YouTube. So I watch a lot of it. What good is watching an ad going to do if I'm never going to buy anything from them? Once or twice, I've needed or wanted a product or service I thought might be promoted on YouTube, I went and looked for a creator to get a link/code from. But I think I did that two times in the past 9 years of being an avid YouTube watcher, and those times I was not buying the product due to ads, just thought I'd support a creator since I was going to make a purchase. I don't have sponsor block (I use NewPipe and I don't feel like learning a new app), but I just skip all the ads by tapping the skip button a bunch. They're often 2 full minutes.

  • That's an offensive skeleton stereotype.

  • Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish

    Jump

  • To my knowledge it doesn't have that, but the suggested videos are pretty good. Like if I'm watching a science video, it will suggest other science videos. Otherwise I'm just subscribed to a few hundred channels and I mostly use the latest releases tab (not sure what it's officially called but it shows everything put out by your subscriptions every time you refresh it).

  • Newpipe is still working great, I haven't used an official interface in like 3 years.

  • What has been the best therapy modality or style that has helped you with psychological issues

    Jump

  • If someone stumbles across something like this and is influenced by it, I think odds are extremely great that they were already of a similar mindset. If it preached violence or bigotry or anytime I'd see more of an issue.

  • I read things like this (or try to) and I think, just let him be. The most powerful thing that can help someone is what they think works for them. There's no need to tear it down if it's not harmful to others.

  • I never said we should rule him

  • The first one I would think they were just kind of atypical at writing, like: "congrats," I said. As if they were writing a story.

    The "your" is the most harsh, haha.

  • New Study: 54% of American Adults Read Below 6th Grade-Levels

    Jump

  • 6th grade level is not too bad. A lot of people graduate school and don't continue reading a lot, or just aren't inclined to be good at reading.

  • Record chicken prices squeeze US shoppers, benefit Tyson Foods

    Jump

  • There are actually a lot of canned and frozen plants other than beans and rice. Tofu is really good (also rising in price, but still not as bad as meat), and keeps an extremely long time in the fridge. I get a bunch of no salt added canned vegetables for super cheap because I have disabilities and I cannot prepare everything from scratch, and make a really good vegetable soup full of protein from peas and beans, for really cheap. The reason I get no salt added is because then I can add bouillon and spices to make my own broth, which would be grossly salty if I also used salted canned food. Although the number of cans vary, we call it 9 Can Soup. Because that's what it had the first time. I also use fresh potatoes if I have any on hand. One of the cans are usually tomato sauce. Sometimes I'll add a few cans of salted veggies if I got them from a food bank, I just rinse them.
