Who could have seen this coming except every single online security expert and privacy expert on the whole planet.

I really wish legislators would listen to people who know what the hell they're talking about.

Reminds me of evangelicals who insist the only reason you arent one is you must just either hate jesus for some reason or havent heard of him

Wingofbenu @wingofbenu.bsky.social · 12h

It makes it hard to explain because you ha ve to understand stuff like that cult or the panic are just natural results of the space and the way they work

Like even as an ex evangelical who has listened to a lot of history podcasts about related things like the children of God or the Satanuc Panuc there are just like...entire cultural touchstones that have existed in evangelical society for the last hundred plus years

In my experience theyve been boiling in their own insular beliefs for decades if not centuries

Wingofbenu @wingofbenu.bsky.social · 12h

Well yeah because they implicitly dont see other Christians as real Christians, only themselves

Wingofbenu @wingofbenu.bsky.social · 15h

shit, sometimes even I dont. Like it wasnt till years after i got out of the faith I found out just how insane some of the founding stuff about the Adventists truly was

Wingofbenu @wingofbenu.bsky.social · 16h

as someone who was an evangelical as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s..can confirm

Wingofbenu @wingofbenu.bsky.social · 16h

Oh yeah,. back when I was in the seventh day adventists as a kid in the early 90s we were told more than once, long before columbine, that any day now the government would round up all christians and we kids had to be ready to proudly announce our love of jesus and be gunned down for our faith

..also ironically somehow anti-evangelical christian given a lot of them are also real obsessed with circumcision

Just to be clear, the circumcision “link” to autism RFK announced is:
-Antisemitic
-Anti-Muslim
-Ableist and Neuroableist
-Sexist (implies that women can’t be autistic)
-Rooted in conspiracy theories
-Medically unsound

…I could go on. Like his Tylenol assertion, it’s total BS.

One of the men who raped Giséle Pelicot decided to appeal his conviction and nine-year sentence.

Upon reviewing the facts and the graphic video showing the assault, the court decided to add another year on to his sentence. Excellent:

Man who appealed Pelicot rape conviction handed longer jail term

A French court increases by a year the jail term of the only man who challenged his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot.

Lying isn't really accurate either. They're not intentionally lying, they're just stringing words together based on proba bilities. They have no ability to reason or make decisions
