Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

Quick reminder that Islam doesn't have an anti science tradition. The fundamentalism goes back to contact with colonial Christians (not that all of Christianity is bad either)

I would say all religions are fundamentally anti-science given a core part is believing in something so improbable and childish with no scientific evidence.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

Religion is always negotiable. Some have a "God of the gap" with a shrinking gap, others have an abstract understanding of God to a degree where it's unfalsifiable and therefore beyond scientific questions

Idk man even the most hardcore religious-studies teachers I had when I lived in Iraq were obsessed with promoting STEM fields.

Also certain apartments and such routinely gave "teacher benefits" in form of discounts like how some US veterans get.

Hell, Islam is the reason most of the knowledge from Roman or earlier times survived. While Christians were regressing in intellectualism, Islam was thriving.

Still, I would argue, to an extent, all religion is anti intellectual. They have some pieces that you aren't allowed to question. That limits the scope of research.

They're only pro-whatever that doesn't contradict their existing beliefs. That's not pro-science, that's a facade.

They don’t hate theocratic fascism, they just hate the other team.

Looks like they were successful in contolling the education system at least lol

Can't decide which group has shittier pickups

I have an opinion that Toyota should use the insurgencies for advertising. There's no better ad for a truck than them being used for rugged reliable transport in a war zone. You don't see them driving Ford f150s, because they don't actually make sense for a utility vehicle. Meanwhile there are little Toyotas with BMP canons strapped onto them driving around.

Some people might say it's bad taste. I'd disagree. If Dodge can use the American revolution for advertising, is that any better than insurgents in the Middle East or Africa?

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 25 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Christian nationalist for sure. So many perfectly fine trucks that have been lifted, or otherwise modified to be less useful.

The Taliban uses a lot of Toyotas, and they're all for off roading in the desert. No pavement princesses.

In that area the maple leaf is considered a sign of quality due to the Toyota Hilux. People will literally tattoo them on themselves. There are a lot of fake Hiluxes which aren't as good, but at some point Canada sent a bunch of good ones as foreign aid, and they all had Canadian flags on the tailgate. So now they like anything with a Canadian flag on it.

During the gulf war Iran predicted this would be

[–] Kornblumenratte@feddit.org 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Are Taliban pro gun, though? I'm sure they like their guns, but do they advocate free guns for all?

[–] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

They're pro-gun for all people, just don't ask who they consider to be actual people.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 12 points 18 hours ago

Most MAGAts don't want guns for all either. Think trans or non binary folk.
