Reply to comment by nonlawyer in Israeli minister calls himself ‘fascist homophobe’ in leaked recording – but says he ‘won’t stone gays’ by Avicennaete

The thing about feelings…they can be pretty deceptive sometimes. I can’t help that people have a boner for Zionism, and I think apartheid policy-led theocracies are bad. I’ve literally been downvoted for simply calling it what Amnesty International called it. Mind you…Jews and Israel aren’t mutually exclusive. Especially, since a good amount of Palestinians are Jews, right? I mean, the IDF straight up killed a decorated American journalist, brigaded anyone questioning their initial narrative, then still justified taking no responsibility after not being able to cover up the truth anymore. It shouldn’t be controversial to say these things, but that’s usually what I get DV’d for. I understand though…it’s difficult to be charitable for some people nowadays.

Reply to School Worker Stole 11K Cases of Chicken Wings in $1.5M Scheme by jdward01

I worked with a lady who was skimming on paper purchases. Every week, she picked up supplies on her own credit card, including 10 cases of paper at about $30/case. She brought six cases into the office and left four in her car/van, which she would return for a refund two days later, processing the original receipt on her expense report.

I think she did this for about four years, so she was skimming about $6,000 a year.

It was only noticed after she left and her replacement kept buying the "usual" order of 10 cases of paper and the storeroom filled up with too much paper. This led to a call to the supplier to said, "Well, she usually bought 10 cases, but most of the time, she returned 4 cases by mid-week."

Reply to Psychedelic churches in US pushing boundaries of religion by kangarooturd

"pushing the boundaries of religion" by participating in spiritual psychedelic ceremonies like humans have done since ancient times?

Our modern clean-and-sober ethic is the historical aberration. This is just people trying to cram an intrinsic human behavior into a social construct built against it.

>His journey to this small town along the Arizona-Utah border is part of a growing global trend of people turning to ayahuasca in search of spiritual enlightenment and an experience they say brings them closer to God than traditional religious services.

Exactly. Religion does not deliver, and so it looks for something that can.

And then, like always, religion eats it.
