Wait… I thought the Romanian guy only won like 20ish percent in the first round? Did they have the second round already?

They don’t want the undesirables to die out entirely. They just want them under heel as worker drones.

On the other side of the coin, gotta make sure the “right people” have lots of kids to make sure there will be an upper class to rule over the worker drones.

Forces everyone to reproduce. Lack of healthcare kills off the ones who can’t afford to survive. The “undesirables” still reproduce, they just die young.

Thanks 💜

And I do, kind of. I’m out to my therapist, who is phenomenal and super supportive, and my wife, who is mostly supportive. And I came out as NB to a few of my friends a couple years ago, but I have yet to catch them up on the trans femme part

I like to let my dog sniff each food as I take it out of the bags and put it away. I figure, if I can broaden his world, why not? He seems to enjoy his role in the process

I’ve had a few. I have one to sync with my Pocket notes that I give tags. I use one for my general notes. I’ve used one as a research space for a podcast, and I plan to start one soon to do world building for my TTRPG and fiction settings

Haven’t come out to any of them yet. They’re all pretty devout Catholics and live in a red state, and my brother has repeated some of the “the schools are teaching the kids to be trans” bullshit, so I don’t have high hopes for any of them being supportive. I think coming out would probably mean most, if not all, of them stop talking to me. They’re likely to be the last ones I ever come out to

Not quite months, but definitely weeks 😂 Obsidian can be such a rabbit hole. If I tweak that last template one more time, then I’ll finally be done, I swear!

Tbf on the electric boiler, it’s probably better to have that than a gas boiler, in terms of CO2 emissions. It depends on how clean the local grid is. The incandescents make no sense though - LEDs are so much better. Even if you don’t care about using less energy for environmental reasons, upgrading the lights would save enough money in energy costs to pay back pretty quickly

Nope, you are correct! From the Wikipedia page, which cites the standards document:

  • Representations can be done in one of two formats – a basic format with a minimal number of separators or an extended formatwith separators added to enhance human readability. The standard notes that "The basic format should be avoided in plain text." The separator used between date values (year, month, week, and day) is the hyphen, while the colon is used as the separator between time values (hours, minutes, and seconds). For example, the 6th day of the 1st month of the year 2009 may be written as "2009-01-06" in the extended format or as "20090106" in the basic format without ambiguity.

Haha yep, you caught me. I’m a fan of the unique note feature

 

For many religious people, raising their children in their faith is an important part of their religious practice. They might see getting their kids into heaven as one of the most important things they can do as parent. And certainly, adults should have the right to practice their religion freely, but children are impressionable and unlikely to realize that they are being indoctrinated into one religion out of the thousands that humans practice.

And many faith traditions have beliefs that are at odds with science or support bigoted worldviews. For example, a queer person being raised in the Catholic Church would be taught that they are inherently disordered and would likely be discouraged from being involved in LGBTQ support groups.

Where do you think the line is between practicing your own religion faithfully and unethically forcing your beliefs on someone else?
