This is top-tier, well done

Fair, politeness is definitely the way to go. I was more reacting to the apparent reluctance to actually provide a source to back up what they were saying after making some pretty serious allegations; it feels like with the times we live in, people ought to be more sensitive to the potential spread of misinformation. But you're right, the replier certainly could have been nicer about it.

No. If you make a claim, you back it up or get disregarded. It's that simple. This is how we prevent misinformation from being spread. Stop being indignant over being lazy/irresponsible.

If I had a nickel for every time I was troubleshooting with a friend and discovered they thought turning the monitor off and on again was "rebooting the computer" I'd be depressingly wealthy.

How is this substantively different from the original comment?

I love how half of these are just "don't be fucking annoying"

I want more of this guy

it is the Ten Commandments' "historical significance, which is simply one of many documents that display the history of our country and foundation of our legal system.”

Alright, so let's put them up right next to the Hammurabi Code, which is also majorly significant to history and our legal system. Maybe highlight the part about how Hammurabi was chosen by the Babylonian gods as the ultimate arbiter of justice.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

It's my new ringtone is what it is

I like Chain Slaughter a lot! It fits the theme really well, and keeping up the sequence without missing seems like an interesting mechanic to strategize around.

The solution to this isn't ostracizing trans people, it's teaching children not be disgusting perpetrators of sexual harassment like you and many you knew.

I think you're looking for だったら

Lol no one's trying to tell you your experience, they're trying to tell you the experiences reported by everyone else. That's the difference between anecdotal evidence and empirical evidence.

...driving people to go crazy with demand for the shai-hulussy-shaped vessel.

This can't be legal

Do they... they torture them with a rubber horse...?

ETA: Goddammit it says rubber hose

Nah, the nakedness was meant to symbolize humanity gaining self-awareness, which separates them from the purity and innocence of other animals. After Adam and Eve eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, they realize they're naked and feel instinctively ashamed of that (as most people would, but regular animals wouldn't), so they cover themselves with leaves. In fact IIRC, the fact that they're covering themselves up is what tips off God that they ate the fruit.

I would imagine it's at gunpoint, figuratively or literally.

So this is totally random and unsolicited, but I've seen you around some of the communities I'm in and I noticed you sometimes use slashes to emphasize words (e.g. /actual/). Maybe that's a personal preference, but just in case, I thought I'd let you know that Lemmy supports Markdown formatting, so you can italicize words by wrapping them in asterisks. For example, *actual* becomes actual
