Strange. I think colons are the official way (as I'm just on default web lemm.ee,) so that might be something to contact your client's devs with.

FYI, spoilers don't work like Reddit (or at least not on my web client.) Try doing it the way Limfjorden did:

AnswerThree; one to hold the lightbulb and two to carry them while going in circles.

Reaching that second field of hogs under the conversation felt kind of ominous.

I've seen this one before, but the alt text had me in a (silent) laughing fit anyways.

I agree with you, but I'm obligated to downvote.

What's this about Mojang?

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well to be fair, that wasn't until 6 hours after my comment and 9 hours after yours, so neither of us could have known for sure.

Complimenting a username is nice, but you don't have to throw in a disclaimer about political alignment. I don't think any of your hexbear friends, if they're reasonable, would call you a lib because you complimented the username of a guy whose instance is populated by libs.

Exodus 20:2-17? Deuteronomy 5:6-21? They're exactly what Sunday School told me they were (and what I've found through reading the Bible on my own,) and there are exactly 10. Is there supposed to be some kind of gotcha there? "You shall not murder" is written there plain as day. What are you trying to say?

Are you trying to draw attention to the fact that God's judgment is fearsome? Because that's a thing, God is both fearsome and forgiving. His wrath is justified because His judgment is unerring, while we shouldn't pass judgment because we are flawed. His forgiveness is offered because He doesn't want to see us go to Hell, while many do anyways because they don't accept it.

I guess a lot of people try to sugercoat the Bible and downplay God's judgment because it's not fun to tell people hard truths, but that's not a fair portrayal, and it can lead to crises of faith when people have an image of a super chill pacifist God and then read about things like Noah's ark.

I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm not convinced downvoting comments has any effect on YouTube.

Slavery: Not condoned, not condemned, just regulated. See here for details. But that's a fair argument to make.

Incest: Only condoned in the early generations of humanity when it was necessary, directly condemned afterwards. I guess I can see how you'd be confused if you heard about it secondhand, but any familiarity with the cases in question ought to show this. Incest in and of itself (discounting other problems like rape and pedophilia it tends to coincide with) is a problem primarily because it leads to a higher incidence of genetic defects, and there were no genetic defects in the first batch of humans as God created them perfectly.

Murder: Obviously against the ten commandments. I don't know what you're talking about. Is it the death penalty? Are you trying to gish gallop me? I don't mind answering your points, but I'd appreciate it if you be more specific so I don't have to guess what you're referring to in order to address it.

Divine right: In the strictest sense, that God gives authorities their right to rule, sure, but they're not above accountability like divine right typically says. The Bible says to follow the laws of men only where they do not conflict with the laws of God.

Genocide: That's a tricky one, where the Israelites were to wipe out the Canaanites. I don't have a good answer for it. What I do know is that God's judgment is righteous, and that this one case is not justification for genocides at human convenience (though non-Christians might interpret it that way, including but not limited to a certain state. I'm not defending them.)

Also, just so we're clear, incest is gross, but it's not fascist.

The names and PFPs still give it away if you know about them.

There have been quite a few comments and posts arguing about political memes and whether they belong here. I'm not exactly in any position of authority, but hopefully I can do something about this.

Which option do y'all think is best?

  1. People who want to post political memes do so in !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca instead.
  2. People who don't want to see political memes subscribe to !memes@sopuli.xyz instead, which doesn't allow politics.
  3. Nothing changes.

I'm not asking for a rule to be made, I'm just asking for the general consensus. I'm hoping that this will help to raise awareness of those other communities, so that if people favor option 1, more political meme posters can move there, and if people favor option 2, more people who don't want politics can move there. And then I can also know whether to keep watching this community or move.

(Please don't downvote this post for complaining about political memes, because if it gets seen, it tells the complainers where they can go to avoid political memes, and then they'll be out of your hair.)
