This statement hardly merits the same level of proof as a scientific publication. The original post is an example of the obnoxious behavior you find on r/atheism.
They feel superior to and smarter than religious people. In this extreme case, the poster expresses feeling superior to people who died in a stampede that took place at a religious event.
Internet atheists who think they are superior to believers / Believers who think they are superior to atheists are two sides of the same coin.

My driver's license photo looks like the mugshot of juvenile criminal. They're printed desaturated in my country too which makes it worse.

Oh no! You just reposted my NFT. That's a $50 fine. What a blunder!

Bizarre response. It feels obvious saying this, but 'they' is a better grammatical choice in this context, regardless of politics or human rights. It has been changed to 'it' in the build instructions since which sounds correct.

To prevent this, remove anon from the wheel group and it will no longer be able to run /bin/su.

"they" ist kein Pluralwort. "they" ist ein Pronomen der 3. Person Singular sowie der 3. Person Plural. Das ist genau so, wie "you" ein Pronomen der 2. Personal Singular und der 2. Person Plural ist.

Armes Deutschland. Der Vorfall ist aus 2019. 5 Jahre und wahrscheinlich Steuergelder (!!!) im sechsstelligen Bereich in diesen Prozess versunken um etwas Käse, der sowieso vergammelt wäre.

Kein Wunder, dass der Mann seinen Beamtenstatus verloren hat. Seinen gesunden Menschenverstand abschalten und robotisch den sinnfreien Prozeduren folgen ist nicht für jeden.

I'm very skeptical of EV rebates. In Germany, this has only led to EV makers jacking up prices by $4,000 or whatever the rebate was. It's redistribution of wealth to the top in the form of our tax money. When the rebates were axed here, prices for EVs and wall chargers dropped over night.

Furthermore, I can accept that owning a car is kind of a necessity in much of Manitoba. And it should be a somewhat decent car too given your harsh winters. But seriously, even if the rebate didn't go straight into the EV maker's pockets, should we really give $4,000 to individuals who can afford to sink $70,000 into a new car? Put that money into something everyone can benefit from, like cycling or pedestrian infrastructure and public transport.

If you got everything gifted your family that would be an alien idea.

Tbh though I think that times have changed, now it seems there is a massive surplus of workers for every position.

I'm in Gemany and our English teacher made everybody read Shakespeare, Dickens and more in the original. I estimate at least 1/3 of our class had reached a C1/C2 level of English after 3 years of his class.

I have no idea. I saw the news article in a newspaper based in Luxembourg first, but it was in French. So I searched for an English version to share and found this one from Malaysia.

In an interview with recently deceased author Paul Auster, he says the following:

When I was 9 or 10, my grandmother gave me a six-volume collection of books by Robert Louis Stevenson, which inspired me to start writing stories that began with scintillating sentences like this one: “In the year of our Lord 1751, I found myself staggering around blindly in a raging snowstorm, trying to make my way back to my ancestral home.”

This encouraged me to browse my bookshelf and search for those scintillating first sentences. As it turns out, many of the books that I loved the most really do pack a punch before the end of their first paragraph. Here's my personal selection. Unlike Auster's example, the ones I am sharing do not immediately drop you in the middle of the action, as the number of adventure books on my bookshelf is marginal. However, I do feel they capture a lot about the protagonist and set the tone for the novel.

I would love for you to share yours.

The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster:

I was looking for a quiet place to die. Someone recommended Brooklyn, and so the next morning I traveled down there from Westchester to scope out the terrain.

Moon Palace by Paul Auster:

It was the summer that men first walked on the moon. I was very young back then, but I did not believe there would ever be a future.

The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin by David Nobbs

When Reginald Iolanthe Perrin set out for work on the Thursday morning, he had no intention of calling his mother-in-law a hippopotamus.

Andersen's Missing Bell - Sometimes (2024) (andersensmissingbell.bandcamp.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by alyth@lemmy.world to c/alternativenation@lemmy.world

Andersen's Mising Bell is a melancholic alternative rock band based in Quebec city. Inspired by bands like Manchester Orchestra, The Hotelier, Death Cab For Cutie and Radiohead, the band defines itself by its explosiveness and vulnerability.

I won’t ever get a house
I won’t ever feel secure
I won’t ever be something more

So just give up already
You’ve got better things to do
Then listen to a lost cause

‘Cause everyone can be replace
And nobody’s special
Sometimes I would just rather

Get hit by a car
I’d feel so much better
Sometimes I would just rather
Get hit by a car
I’d feel so much better
Well, sometimes I would just rather

No I’m not worth your time
(Not worth my time)
And I hope that you leave
As soon as you can
(As you can)

And I won’t even try
(Won’t even try)
To keep you in my life
‘Cause I’m hurting you
Yeah I’m hurting you so bad
(You’re hurting me so bad)

‘Cause I never talk
(Never talk)
And I never smile
I can’t cope with my mind
(With my mind)

So I’ll go back
(Go the fuck away)
To where I belong
All alone in my queen sized bed
(Queen sized bed)

I’m not worth your time
(Not worth my time)
And I hope that you leave
As soon as you can
(As you can)

And I won’t even try
(Won’t even try)
To keep you in my life
‘Cause I’m hurting you
Yeah I’m hurting you so bad
(You’re hurting me so bad)

‘Cause I never talk
(Never talk)
And I never smile
I can’t cope with my mind
(With my mind)

So I’ll go back
(Oh please go the fuck away)
To where I belong
All alone in my queen sized bed
(Queen sized bed)

Sometimes I’d just rather
Sometimes I’d just rather

Get hit by a car
I’d feel so much better
Sometimes I would just rather
Get hit by a car
I’d feel so much better
Well, sometimes I would just rather

Get hit by a car
Get his by a car
And fly (and die)
And fly (and die)

When I try to submit a post or comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash] passwd, the submit button goes into a loading state and spins indefinitely. The request is blocked by Cloudflare with status code 403. I can't even search for the forbidden string. You have to check dev tools to find out what went wrong, this error is not handled in the UI at all.

So, if you've ever tried to reply to a tech issue and the UI just won't let you, maybe this is why.

Sometimes I'll be browsing Firefox and things go wrong seemingly at random - all pages load indefinitely or show a screen indicating failure to load. This can be fixed by running pkill firefox and then starting a new instance. A look at Dev Tools shows that all requests fail and a message NS_BINDING_ABORTED is shown. I have looked up "firefox NS_BINDING_ABORTED" but none of the results 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 provided any solution.

Does anyone here know more about this issue?

Firefox version information:

Firefox Borwser 126.0

Mozilla Firefox for Arch LInux

archlinux - 1.0
