Yeah I doubt the historical Jesus (or Jesuses – apparently there may have been more than one) was nearly as nice as the Bible makes him out to be.

Most pleasant gamer

It’s the same with that one rabbi who’s been labeled antisemitic because he’s against the genocide of Palestinians.

Edit: this dude:

Eg. the Canary Mission has labeled him as an antisemite who trivializes the Holocaust because he thinks that in Canada the genocide of First Nations people would be important to teach more about instead of focusing on the Holocaust

Conservatives would literally murder him if he were to come back. A brown-skinned wokist telling people to love each other would not be popular

Yeah, a H5Nx pandemic will have a good chance of having a fatality rate of something in the range of 10% to 50%. It’d end society as we know it, and conservatives are generally the ones who are doing their damndest to prevent sensible action being taken now to help at least slow the jump to humans.

If (or, more likely when) we do see a HPAI pandemic, we know who we can thank for it. It’ll likely kill hundreds of millions of people, but at least by refusing vaccinations due to idiotic reasons, conservatives will have a higher mortality than people with functioning brains.

Probably a nontrivial amount of wanting to feel smarter than “those know-it-all doctors with their fancy degrees” with a side of Dunning-Kruger

It took me much longer than I’d like to admit to understand what the title meant. “But 1985 is 0 years from 1985???”

I am not a clever person.

Ah yeah the Siberian fox experiment is interesting. They found that the tamer foxes had a tendency towards neoteny, ie. basically retaining juvenile features and slower development, and they even lost some of their intelligence too which was interesting. The same has happened with dogs, physically they’re closer to juvenile wolves and generally they’re also less intelligent than wolves.

Didn’t know someone had tried the same with panthers and cheetahs though, that’s pretty surprising. Sounds like a bit of a project to tame panthers of all creatures when even housecats aren’t as domesticated as eg. dogs

This is definitely an apex friend, just look at those ears:

There’s a conservative chud in these comments who apparently thinks this is exactly what Jesus taught.

Political satire is dead; it’s impossible to satirize conservatives because for any ridiculous joke anyone can come up with, there’ll be N + 1 conservatives out there going “yeah that’s exactly what I believe”

It’s from supply-side economics:

Supply-side economics is a macroeconomic theory postulating that economic growth can be most effectively fostered by lowering taxes, decreasing regulation, and allowing free trade.

Supply Side Jesus isn’t MY concept, in fact, it was Al Franken (yes, the senator) who came up with it.

No shit? And yes, that was sarcasm – just so you don’t take that literally as well.

Now Franken of course is a Jew, so it’s easy to see why he might have a bone to pick with Christianity.

That’s certainly a take.

I am a meat popsicle

It’s almost like I worded the end exactly like that because I know that’s LiTeRaLlY what it says you utter cabbage. I was just parodying your Supply Side Jesus concept further; it’s not like that was the central message that Jesus had, except in conservative readings of course

yeah remember when Jesus said “if I were to feed you, it would disincentivize you from finding a job and just enable your laziness. Use your god-given talents to feed yourself you moocher” and then gave all the fish and bread to the rich?

Maybe my friends are, but my potato self is definitely not

Ha yeah those are pretty popular here too, they’re great. Sorta like the OG black Tyrkisk peber, which I can highly recommend if you can get them anywhere

the more we try to us/them our problems, the shittier our problems get.

I agree to a point, but we also have to recognize that with eg. COVID and now H5Nx preparedness, the conservative mindset is a huge issue and purely driven by politics that they themselves purposefully try to polarize, by eg. outright lying about the effects of vaccines or even whether the disease was a real one or just some sort of communist plot to sap and impurify their precious bodily fluids.

I’m not sure how something like this can be solved, when there’s a huge segment of the population who not only doesn’t believe in basic science but sees attempts at teaching it as attacks against their “values” and will sometimes react with literal violence
