Why can’t it never be warm spaghetti? 😭
- Comment on My Religion 4 days ago:
Pretty much since their inception, although it has waxed and waned with public perception.
It started out strong for a little while until people got used to the idea, as they did with pretty much everything. But it’s still not a religious taboo per se. That’s simply resistance to change and fear of the unknown, but it was not as extreme as other taboos with life-changing consequences.
What do you mean by pedophilia is a taboo? Religions like Islam and Christianity allow large age gaps in marriage. Wasn’t the Virgin Mary like 13 when she got knocked up by Joseph and blamed it on the Holy Spirit? Mohammed married Aisha when she was six at the age of 40, and a lot of the Islamic culture revolves around arranged marriages that allow it. And those are only the dominant religions. I’m sure we can find more examples in the lesser ones because the concept of childhood and its sanctity is not that old.
The Madonna–whore complex is attributed to Freud, who coined it in the 60s. How was it ever a religious taboo?
Whichever the case, we’re burying the lede: where’s the interplay between secularism and religiosity that informs one another among all these?

Vaccines? Has that ever been a taboo? That’s a general and recent attitude.
Alright, fair with cannibalism being frowned upon. I still can’t think of many more significant examples.
- Comment on My Religion 5 days ago:
Do you have examples? If that were true, religious taboos would be more rational.

It means nothing. It’s a throwaway phrase meant for people to repeat and find in things that have it, but it means nothing beyond that.

Do nothing to not waste time! Got it, thank you.
- Comment on My Religion 5 days ago:
Like what? I can understand something like cannibalism and incest resulting in some diseases, which is fair, although they’re not exclusive to religion. But most typical religious taboos are harmless and arguably more harmful to society for no good reason.

“My religion prohibits it!”
THEN DON’T FUCKING DO IT.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Whoa, that’s mind-blowing. I always wondered what kind of jobs there would be for me if I suddenly lost my vision.

Same, but a bit longer for me. I still find it crazy that so many people want to move to the US. It’s not the place people dream of.

Oh god, I wouldn’t touch salvia divinorum either unless you want an intense, mind-melting trip that lasts 5 minutes and a sweaty itch all over your body that lasts for 8. That’s not a recreational trip, that’s for people who want to feel uncomfortable as a new life experience.

- Comment on Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) 2 weeks ago:
The AI bullshit features as you call them are completely non invasive,
And yet I had to turn them off in
about:config, not even in the regular settings. Why are the settings hidden? Why can’t I turn them on if I want them? Why isn’t opt-in and transparency their standard approach with such a controversial feature? Those are some serious dark patterns for a company advertising itself as user-friendly, that they had to backtrack on when they saw the community uproar.Now it’s happening again, but on the developer side.
Stop the bullshitting and complaining over things are completely irrelevant
Irrelevant? I can’t afford AI threads running in the background, hogging my memory and processing power away from my productivity apps for whatever bullshit they decide to add that barely relates to what I use a browser for. I don’t live in a “first-world country” with standard hardware. That’s the whole reason I use Firefox, for the respect for their users that I have grown accustomed to, which they now seem to want to ignore. It’s a huge violation of trust that you’re downplaying when they want to add things first and apologize later.
The bottom line is that their approach has shifted recently, and I have every right to criticize them for it when they say one thing and do another.
