It's partially that he does it so often and partially that many of the claims are so outlandish that no one takes them seriously. Like saying he'll bomb Mexico. On the one hand, "he says lots of shit" and on the other "Ok, he won't REALLY bomb Mexico. He's just saying that. Someone will stop him from bombing Mexico. "

Nah. It's something they don't get bent out of shape for for any other religious artwork. Like nobody is up in arms about the memes of that shitty restoration of the picture of Jesus

There's plenty of satirical art/speech/expression about Christianity and people don't go through life being enraged at all of it until they're told to have that opinion by media.

Plus, from what I understand, the only "sacrilegious" element was that there were drag performers doing it? There's not even anything inherently anti-christian there except in that wearing the other gender's clothing is prohibited in like 3 verses. But again, people aren't typically upset by the identity of the author except in this case. Christians are only so vehemently anti-drag in the US because of media spoon feeding them opinions.

Other examples they dont get mad about

Or infinitely many others including ones with RuPaul, futurama, rick and morty, marvel, the charmin bears, pretty much any IP you can name has a version of this somebody made of it that is equally "sacrilegious".

They weren't saying the event called the last supper wasn't in the bible, but that the artistic depiction of that event, "The Last Supper", isn't a part of the Christian religion. It is a painting.

But wait, Republicans, what about all the welfare queens with like 10 Democrat party welfare sponsored kids? Are they now the most powerful voting block? Or did they never exist?

Same here. The sheer 800ft. Drops on either sides of of the 2-4ft wide ridge with people coming both ways was a no from me.

Also even just on the way up the the first landing (the like 500sqft flat area where you can rest) with that 1.5ft wide ledge getting up to it and the rope with 300ft sheer drops- I had a frustrated dad wearing flip flops and a 2 year old kid in a baby backpack rushing by everyone while people were heading down too. Shit's wild.

Hikes like half dome and angels' landing are super dangerous whether or not people die frequently on them. You're not stupid to do these hikes if you prepare for them, but even if you're prepared, there is still risk.

These hikes can get crowded even with the ticket system, and more and more people rush up these trails to get the shot for their Insta or whatever. Two-way crowds of impatient tourists on these narrow ledges and steep scrambles/climbs are a real issue and even a prepared hiker could get unlucky.

Not to mention other hazards like incliment weather like in this case. Half-dome is a unique weather risk during that final climb because it is just rock. Rock worn extra smooth and made dusty by hikers' boots. If it rains, that dust turns to silty mud and you now have nature's most majestic slip-n-slide.

The national parks make nature accessible, and because it's accessible, people underestimate it and don't respect it like they should.

They have ridiculous accents, though. They got nerfed in the tulipmanie patch

Smart move. Can you imagine Trump debating a literal prosecutor? Not just a prosecutor, but a highly successful one who prosecuted for-profit fraudulent colleges like the one he owned? Would be an absolute nightmare for him.

Thank you comrade Everett. Very cool

But sometimes philosophy is also like not knowing that flashlights exist and looking for a cat in the dark, sadly.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Philosophy is often more like looking for things that can't be seen with a flashlight but hypothesizing that they must exist and proving it logically.
