The portion of muslims with the most harmful and intolerant ideas are the sunnis (who accept the hadiths as legitimate scripture), who also make up the majority of muslims.

In a british questionaire a couple years back, 0% of muslims participating said homosexuality should be accepted.

If tolerance is a social contract, then for what reason do we accept it to be one-sided with the radically religious? At what portion of muslims acting/voting to bring sharia to western countries would people agree that it is necessary to act? 10%? 20%? 50%? Never?

No one ever claimed that one label accurately describes the sum of a people. But if it’s the only label that captures anywhere close to 100% of the problematic people, then that’s the one you use.

Absolutely relevant for religion and especially muslims.

Wasn’t my post

It was partially a counter to your argument, that this is not about religion… so yes… you do disagree.

A classic deepity

Talk about free will

Nicer UI. Not exactly sure how the whole thing works, I think you are somehow able to enable/disable certain add-ons and from what I can gather extendes has a few more. Tl;dr: It’s better, consider giving it a try.

Ridiculously dumb take

…good for you*

Same. If it wasn’t for my adblockers, I’d have stopped using youtube long ago.

…which would be valid

I was turned off from the moment i saw at least most romance characters look 40-50 years old. Who the f wants those kinds of storylines with someone old enough to be their mom?

He got his money back and a 5dollar gift code. Shit happens

Dev is actually going pretty well. What they have achieved is pretty amazing.

But they are going to say the game is in ‘alpha’ as long as they can, because it means they can keep collecting “pledges” instead of “paid content”.

I bet that has some tax purposes.

I mean, what’s the context here? I doubt doctors are sterilizing people because of some evil agenda. If she was already undergoing explorative abdominal surgery, I’d wager they found a pathology that requires her reproductive organs to be removed.

If they didn’t get her consent during the preoperative information, then that’s malpractice and a part I don’t understand. However, I’d assume the surgeons wanted to spare her from having to undergo sedation and surgery again at a later point in time, just to get her consent.

Also, it’s often done with a laser nowadays, which is less invasive.

Funnily enough, it’s what i have been considering for a month now. I don’t wanna snore and I’m ready to call up a doctor over it.

You are not connected to a grid, by having electrodes measure potential differences in your brain. If the chip (outside of your brain) were to malfunction, then the interface would simply no longer work. big deal. you replace it.

Again, wtf do you think a brain inplant is?

Not how a brain implant works.

If I could have direct interface to my devices (write text by thinking it, control video game characters,…) I would get one in a heartbeat.

Sadly it’ll be a while until the tech comes that far and it’ll have strictly medical usecases for quite some time.

Yeah programmers is the obvious one profession, that might largely be an exception. I don’t really know how progress in that profession is tracked or how you integrate newcomers into the team, but I suppose there may not be a huge disadvantage.

Also, your points are all personal ones, which I obviously grant. However, seeing this from an employers side of view, it’s a much harder sale.

The “we’d be more productive”-trope is not only not clearly true, but clearly wrong for most professions. Point and case: https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/be147193-0d32-41f5-9112-400f6e374f07.jpeg
