who is "we"?
Jhex
Ok, that is more in line with what I imagined
so in Texas they don't even ask about other religions? basically if you are not "standard xtian" you are a "none"?
TIL Texas is even more backwards than I gave it credit for
Adorable!!!!!
so cute!... no tail?
The reason for that, IMO, is that the "none" people are usually in the camp of "I don't practice any religion" vs "I despise every religion"; so it becomes like having a vegetarian option in a menu, it is good for the vegetarians and should not offend any reasonable omnivore.
The problem of course is the unfairness you point out, added to the fact that most religious people that get involved in these political fights are not in the "I am happy there is a vegetarian option for me", instead they are usually in the camp of "I am a vegetarian therefore YOU should not eat meat"
PS: the vegetarian vs omnivore comparison is just for examples, I know eating meat is bad for the environment and we should all reduce/eliminate it.
This is funny in America
Hey I create my own slop!
Also, this is why I copy/paste... you see, your comment was also made in other version of the same post and I explained it all there.. now I need to copy/paste for you here:
Slate raised at least $111 million in Series A financing, including an undisclosed amount from Bezos. Slate then raised $600 million in 2024 from Mark Walter, the controlling owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers and CEO of Guggenheim Partners, Jeff Bezos, and General Catalyst, a venture capital firm.[5] In mid-2026, the company said it had completed a $650m series C investment round, which took its total capital raised to $1.4bn.[6]
Bezos was seed money AND part of the owner conglomerate that raised all the capital the company started with in 2024. That is enough for me to avoid this like the plague as it will, certain as the sun is hot, be enshitified to the core
If you do not believe me, here is an article explaining how this is all a big Amazon initiative

yes. they are small so they can work best in urban areas… nobody wants a kei truqk to work a farmein texas
oh yes most others are way bigger… but I was comparing the "small" trucks that are actually available in the USA to make the point they are not in the same level the real small trucks are
because protecting a child rapist ego is the highest priority of the entire government of the US of A

True, I guess I meant to say it only makes sense in America
