Wait, people are still using Unity after they clearly demonstrated they'll fuck you on a whim? Honestly, seems like everyone's been given a fair warning about dealing with these scumbags. I get migrating a codebase is a motherfucker, and sometimes it is even easier to redevelop much or all of the project. But again, if you're renting retail space from someone who is a psychopath, bipolar, and an arsonist (Unity in this case), and they might burn your shop down at any moment, sometimes you gotta move!

Because when your legislators write laws (read, have them handed to them by the party with a direct interest) they do it for campaign donations because everything is money. Capitalism's end stage is corporatocracy and oligarchy. Surprise, we're there! Legislation in a healthy democracy/republic is written for the benefit of the citizens, but we stopped being a democratic republic long ago. In capitalism, legislation is written to maximize profit at all expense, including the health, welfare, and best interests of the citizens.

This isn't new, study the history of the East India Trading Company. The difference is lack a monarch to dissolve the company (and it's not just one company anymore). The founders remembered the lesson of East India Trading Company and corporate charters in the US used to be temporary, and you had to show a benefit to the citizens. It's one reason conservatives, republicans, and capitalists don't want strong education and history lessons. Corporations in the past were NOT people, and they better benefit society or they could swiftly have their charter revoked and dissolved.

This is a repeat, but even more successful than in the past. But when your populous has no education it seems brand new!

I don't know that they deserve it, but as a society, we certainly don't have the resources to fix MAGA. That level of deprogramming and educating is WAY past our infrastructure and resources.

The base kills itself off pretty well. They would contest this assertion with as much vigor as they can muster!

If you're not using it, then you're going to be extremely happy when you switch!

Fascinating and adding it to my haul of TIL!

Thank you very much!

It was just a quick low effort example, but yes, you are correct. Take my upvote! LOL

One can always leaf through and pick any of the many examples of awful highlighted on the site: https://www.evilbible.com/

I'd also say, though, that most Christians will use any law, new or old, to support their hatred and evil. If they're looking to support their bigotry or hatred, then any version of the bible is fair game. It's only abolished when it's inconvenient for them.

Sadly, I've had the misfortune of living in multiple areas with mega-churches. ><

All mine hate capitalism. Though, I think we're saying the same thing. ;)

Kids like these give me hope for the future, no matter what disasters we have to suffer through!

Just got done celebrating malicious compliance on another thread. So this one I'll just give a big cheer and thumbs up for The Satanic Temple and all the good it's doing in this country!

Sorry about the low-iq screenshot--LOL.

Just reading a mild, reasonable, even keel’d post made my day. I appreciate you!
