I feel like this is the same thing that happened with animal sacrifice. As a society, we realized how fucked up it really is and then the apologists try their hardest to reinterpret the Bible so it’s more in line with our new understanding of morality. Then it happened again with slavery. Society figured out owning and selling people as property is immoral, and the apologists come up with more ways to explain how we’ve been reading the Bible wrong up until now. Like, the Bible can’t simultaneously be perfectly clear and misinterpreted for thousands of years.

thelasttoot@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking2·11 months agoLose rhymes with clues, not close.
Edit: I just noticed your reply
Where I lived, all your trash needs to be in a trash bag. There isn’t some big truck that drives around, picking up the whole trashcan and dumping it in the back. It’s literally just a guy in a golf cart who takes everything out of the bin by hand and tosses it on a trailer. If it’s not in a trash bag he won’t take it. If the trash bag is broken he won’t take it. So if some lazy shit head is too fucking delicate to carry their dog’s shit long enough to dispose of it properly, and instead toss it into my bin, it stays there and becomes my problem.
Fuck you for owning a dog if you can’t be bothered to clean up after it.

But that’s all told through notes and environmental storytelling. So it’s there if you’re willing to search for it, but it’s definitely not as big a part of the overall narrative as I expected it to be.
People choose to be cops. Choosing which country you live in is a luxury most can’t afford.
