@lamp No, not real ;)

@curiouscatastrophe @casserolefood In the Sealion comic the sea lion persists even though the other person is trying to disengage.

It seems like neither of us are going to change our minds on anything here, we might as well stop

@casserolefood @curiouscatastrophe @jayulfelder "which means it is only the willfully ignorant bigots who would like their demonstrably inaccurate belief to supersede any and all factual evidence"
Many of them could just not know about the evidence. I have relatives who would claim it, and I'm sure haven't heard about this study. My complaint is about claiming that they are *bigots*, I wasn't talking about whether or not the study is accurate.

Thinking about it, perhaps the difficulty to get on #Mastodon — small, though much harder than other social media — is sometimes a feature. I think that most #trolls aren't willing to put in a lot of effort, perhaps one of the reasons there's so, so much less spam in the "comments" here.

@casserolefood @jayulfelder None? Look, just because you believe someone is totally wrong doesn't mean that they have to be a bigot to believe what they believe. Many people believe that biological males who identify as women are physically stronger than biological women, and that that gives them an advantage in sports.

@benjaminhollon That's cool!

@RL_Dane @redgreen925@fosstodon.org If you're using Wayland, Foot is a pretty good #terminalEmulator. It is incredibly fast to open. Like, if the daemon mode is on (and maybe when not), you're pressing Super+Enter (say) and your finger hasn't come off the Enter key yet and the window is already open.

@servant Good night!

When Jesus said that we should always forgive, even if the offense is repeated, he knew that Christians soon and hundreds of years in the future would be asking forgiveness of him, even daily of the same sins over and over again. The parable of the unforgiving servant follows in Matthew 18. Changes how the passage feels to me. #microSermon :D

@dallin@fosstodon.org Aight who said Subaru ☠️

@servant That's good 😆

@servant Yeah 😄 and she doesn't like hot dogs either (that one I understand some though). But hey, at least she doesn't dislike chocolate. Some people don't!

@servant My sister doesn't like bacon....

@RL_Dane I'm not even sure that I like this particular mouse pointer concept, but I strive to think this way in my abstract designs.

@RL_Dane I love these little touches -- they're really not that little to me, they usually say something big about the developer's creativity and insight, IMO.

@Gargron Happy birthday!!

"Too often we attack cultural challenges with a spirit of misplaced certainty. We feel like we know what’s wrong, and we know how to fix it, and when we know we’re right, opposition is frustrating at best and infuriating at worst. The more certain we are, the more likely we are to view opponents not just as wrong, but evil. Do they not want to solve our crises?" - David French

Remember that by far, most people aren't out with the intent to destroy good.
Something to think about
