You're not making a very strong point. That link doesn't help illuminate things either. I'm assuming you're pointing at PBS saying something pro-America or teaching American history in a way that makes the country appear more sacred, which, sure, is probably true. But it'd help your point to specifically point those things out and actually state why they're harmful, instead of being vaguely hostile while defining civil religion. As an aside, there are significantly worse offenders than PBS when it comes to espousing America's civil religion.

Had a similar encounter when I was a kid. Went for a walk in my neighborhood one night, got a bit lost, found my way, then got pulled over 30 seconds away from my house for walking suspiciously. Let me off with a warning and watched me enter my home to make sure I wasn't bullshitting, so at least I didn't get hauled away for a reprogramming.

Looks are usually only part of the formula. Maybe Pete Davidson's a sweet and genuine guy? And Adrien Brody has a charming look imo. He seems kind.

Speaking as a straight man.

Are you sure this is usdefaultism, instead of merely stating that something doesn't happen in America? If he were in Belgium and stated this doesn't happen in Belgium, would you think he was assuming Belgium is default? Feels like you're (ironically) assuming something that isn't actually happening.

You'd be surprised which things affect our personalities and actions. I'd bet my left hat that you have some silly influences over you that you think are mundane and normal. And I bet those things make you more fun to be around too. Or less fun, depending on your company.

That goes deeper than simple horoscopes. If it wasn't horoscopes, it'd be religion. If not religion, race. If not race, diet. If not diet, hobbies. It's like talking shit about someone because they don't use your favorite distro. Is Linux the problem? Or is it someone's capacity to pass condescending judgements over silly things? Some people are insufferable. That's a people issue.

What's inherently wrong with witches?

So strange how people will throw snark at others for enjoying harmless fun.

Hell yeah! Sounds like a sweet deal.

Will, you did, just now. Dunno where else you've seen it before.

Please read the comments you're responding to. You're not making sense.

No one's asking for perfect. But a better system would account for outages, which we've seen plenty of so far. How's that saying go? Don't let perfect be the enemy of progress? It's out of reach for a reason.
