    Harris pulls ahead of Trump in Iowa in the 11th hour

    Not the only case example of this irrational witch hunt against less than 1% of the population doing collateral damage that's just stupid - it's also why we have new censorship policies eliminating classics of literature from school libraries, elimination of offices that support marginalized...

    Harris pulls ahead of Trump in Iowa in the 11th hour

    Oh, that reminds me - the "Republican" party of Iowa also couldn't help messing with our election laws here. In spite of there being nothing wrong with them and no problems with any of it. The worst bit by far is the change to how mail-in ballots are counted. It used to be you were free to...

    Harris pulls ahead of Trump in Iowa in the 11th hour

    We already have - because of "Republican" leadership. Just a few examples of "Republican" legislation that has destroyed our freedoms: Women no longer have the right to choose and are forced to give birth by the state Censorship of public spaces has risen dramatically with school book bans and...

    Harris pulls ahead of Trump in Iowa in the 11th hour

    A few reminders to contextualize this: Iowa was one of the first states in the nation to legalize gay marriage. Iowa was (and still is) a forerunner in alternative energy (specifically wind) Iowa went to Obama. Not just once, but twice Our Republican governor calling a special session too...

    Kind of a weird question.

    Assuming you refer to denizens of the otherworlds, their types are innumerable as are their natures and abilities. The abilities of humans vastly less so, but they too can choose to channel many of these innumerable denizens should they wish to walk such paths.

    The Metabolic Function of Political Parties.

    Uh... what? This metaphor breaks down very quickly with even a very basic examination of what the real world impact of various policies of the two major parties have been over the past few decades. Also not sure why this thread is in "science and religion" when it is a political topic.

    Epic Games' woke coding standards

    I can't wait for the insipid trend of referencing basic common courtesy and civil decency with a snarl word to die.

    What Is “Heaven”?

    It's not a term I use in my tradition, but I would consider it to be one of the innumerable otherworlds given how it is described by those who do use the term. It's not an otherworld I have bothered to develop much of any relationship with.

    What happens after we die?

    And through story and song and memory yet other parts of our beloveds go on as well. :blush:

    Colleges & universities should take action against professors who deliberately fail too many students

    Not sure how you figure this, but you have an interesting perspective on human beings and how (higher) education works I suppose. It can be a problem, one I'm well familiar with. Nevertheless it is still true that learning (and flourishing as a society just in general) is a shared...

    Colleges & universities should take action against professors who deliberately fail too many students

    Some thoughts from someone who works in higher ed: I'm not sure if you are writing from the perspective of another country here, but in the United States there is a distinction between colleges/universities and vocational/trade/professional schools. There's sometimes some overlap between the...

    What happens after we die?

    What happens "after" life can be observed on a daily basis - more life. Existence continues. I don't really see it as being any more complicated than that and it's a bit weird to me that so many human cultures are in denial of these routine and normal natural cycles.

    Women: What happens in the voting booth, stays in the voting booth

    You're eager to tell others what they ought to do and who they ought to be. I never asked for your advice and certainly not your approval. Your choice in approving hateful views is... well, thanks for the check that I'm definitely treading down the wrong path. Pouring gasoline on fires...

    Women: What happens in the voting booth, stays in the voting booth

    Sorry, I was running thoughts together and that caused a miscommunication. What I'm saying is no, it's not a good thing to be changing tone. At all. It is a very, very bad thing. Borne of my utter disgust and discontent with gross human rights violations. That doesn't make it...

    Women: What happens in the voting booth, stays in the voting booth

    You talk about this like it's a good thing. It's not. Enslavement of women through forced birth has always been a very firm line one does not cross - I just never, ever imagined the so-called leadership of this country would be evil and vile enough reinstate it. Then again, considering this...

    Women: What happens in the voting booth, stays in the voting booth

    Didn't say you did. Being royally ticked off at women being stripped of human rights is not about you.

    Women: What happens in the voting booth, stays in the voting booth

    No. Give us this talk again once we get our fundamental human rights back. Frankly, I'm just done being kind and gracious about anyone who votes for that piece of human trash. Not when that sack of #$@% cost us basic human rights and will absolutely be fine with removing even more.

    Women: What happens in the voting booth, stays in the voting booth

    Yes, the pitiable sort of doormat women with so much internalized misogyny they're not the target audience of this ad. The ones that don't care about having no choices and basically being enslaved to males.

    Women: What happens in the voting booth, stays in the voting booth

    Imagine stripping basic human autonomy from half the population - on what is probably the most life-changing decision of anyone's life - and then expecting them not to turn out in droves really upset and angry about that. It'd be adorable if it wasn't so disgustingly misogynistic. How do the...

    Do I have poor memory? Does anyone relate? How do you remember things?

    Most humans have unrealistic expectations about memory in part because they are not taught about how it works. All memory is reconstructive, it's not like a book where information is fossilized onto a page. Yet many think it is supposed to work that way (it isn't and doesn't) then conclude...
