??? Who was pushed over the edge? You seem a lot more enthused about this than I am.

“I’m confused as to when he started thinking he was the authority on anything.”

I don’t really get it either... he hasn’t even played a literal superhero yet, has he? I’m not a big Damon fan, but, actors gonna act, right? Even if he’s not a terribly gifted one?

“But there’s no role for Damon and the like so...”

I got to ask, why are we doing this? Yah Matt Damon plays the hero a lot. He played a bad guy in Interstellar and Promised Land.

No shade intended, but isn’t “to save the day” the job of pretty much every lead in a movie? Not sure why Matt Damon is singled out here- should be the producers/directors/writers only funding/hiring/writing wypipo as leads. I mean, Damon can suck it as far as I’m concerned, but thinking the criticism should be shared…

Because people see them as undeserving of fundamental rights - like, for example, being listened to during a debate about their future.

Surely consensual sex purchasing is an oxymoron as one of the definitions of consent is that it’s “freely give”?

Well, there’s your trouble right there: that’s not a definition of “consent”.

Pretty sure HealingCrystals is a ‘feminist’ of the ‘Anything sexual a woman does that I disapprove of = Rape or Pedophilia” variety. Typical toxic SWERF rhetoric.

I see nobody here pro sex trafficking. I see a mess of opinions on the best way to combat sex trafficking, but you are being very disingenuous about a serious subject.

And I’m sure he’ll be equally shocked to learn that tax money is also advancing the Christian agenda by libraries across America having books about Christianity and featuring Christians!

And you know there’s zero chance that fuckface hasn’t violated the Johnson Amendment, probably weekly. They all do.

“We’re not asking for banning because I know that would just sink our ship,”

The overwhelming majority of Christians and Christian leaders (pope on down, pastors, even lay people who run Bible reading groups) are profoundly ignorant of the history of their own religious text. Or in the cases of the very well informed and well read, happily ignore the history of their own religion to promote…

And the people of Oceania knew that 2+2=5 for political purposes and 4 for engineering ones. It’s called compartmentalization and it’s what you have to do if you’re indoctrinated with magical thinking but also required to function in a mostly rational society. I don’t hate those who have to do such mental gymnastics…

Oh come now - I’m sure these supplements have been tested and approved by the same fine scientists who certify essential oils as “guaranteed pure” (i.e., chem majors who barely passed but managed to get jobs at scammy MLM companies).

But scientific “faith” is based on a certain degree of evidence, isn’t it? I can’t remember which planet it was that scientists expected to find based on the behavior of known planets for example. Religious faith, as far as I know, is supposed to paradoxally remain the same or even grow despite any proof whatsover.…

To the Christian, science is merely that branch of discovery that categorizes, discovers, and utilizes the knowledge woven into the fabric of the universe by a Sovereign, All Powerful, and Omniscient, Creator. Science is not the end of all things, but merely one of the means by which man may glorify God. This…

In other words, if you were a post-positivist and/or a post-modernist, you wouldn’t be such a fucking dick to religious people who do not claim that their religion overrides scientific discovery.
