Surely they can't legally hide allergens?

This is definitely the most tone deaf, privileged comment I've read on this site so far.

Nothing would change. For a start, PA doesn't control gaza so can't service it, and secondly israel and Egypt are both blockading Gaza. Independent Gaza would continue to have nothing.

I think we can take some solace from the fact that it took Spurs almost 100 minutes, two wrongly called off/onside calls, and an own goal, to beat 9 men.

On one hand as a queer woman, I'm disappointed by someone who showed so much support for the community eagerly accepting this tainted money.

On the other, I'd sell my soul for the right money, so I can't criticise him too heavily.

I always call those people anti-theists, as opposed to atheists. The ones who almost have their lack of religion as a religion in itself and criticise (and let's be honest, demean) anyone with a faith.

By all means, criticise the church, and the structures, which harm people. Criticise the willfully misinterpreted doctrine. The religions themselves, people's beliefs? Leave them alone.

This is the correct take. Unfortunately, there seems to be an overwhelming sense of "fuck you, I got mine" amongst a lot of people meaning they'd rather kick other people down than get pushed up.

This entire comment is the perfect explanation for my issue with people getting excited over Black Friday/Prime Day. I see so many people every year excitedly saying (or at times bragging), oh I got this, I got that, and it was so cheap. But unless you were already looking at that thing you haven't saved money. You've actually spent more than you would have if it wasn't on sale.

I think doing those things when it's clear, is fine. As a queer person, when I catch my friends (usually inadvertently) say something queerphobic, I'll lean it and switch it to be critical of the cishet equivalent.

I think when it's clear, and when it's being used for a good reason, then there's no issue. You make a very good point about your child though. They don't usually get the nuances that an adult should.

I'm not particularly a food prescriptivist, but this isn't aglio e olio. By all means crack on, but with prawns and tomatoes in it? Not a aglio e olio in my book.

Oh absolutely, criticise the beliefs that don't make sense, and are tolerated. But pretty much everyone of most major faiths believe in science. There's the fundamentalists, who are extremely loud in their ignorance, but the majority of people aren't that.

We should be fine regardless, but Austria, France and Belgium? Christ that's a good draw.

Are there that many self employed? Most other countries seem to handle this the, imo, sensible way, where employees are auto-taxed, and the self employed file their own.

That's true, though I can't say for the US, in the UK, inflation is still ridiculously calculated. Jack Monroe went on a mini crusade about it, because staples like pasta and rice weren't included, but champagne was.

Most of the time yes. A really simple example is the Bible line "thou shall not lie with men as women", the original text says boys not men. The Jewish peoples saw the Greeks fucking kids and said "hey, uh no, let's make that a law, that you shouldn't do that". Boy became men, and that's been used to claim the Bible forbids homosexuality.

I don't think there's anything ultimately wrong with religion as such. People always try to find meaning and purpose in life. If religion gives them a way of doing that, then excellent; if religion plays no part, then also excellent. The goal is to be a good person, regardless of why you do it. Is a Christian who follows the tenent "love thy neighbour" worse than someone who loves their neighbour? A Jew who helps Muslims despite the tensions between their faiths, and they help because YHWH says to? Are they worse than an atheist who chooses to not help? Religion isn't the problem. People are, people are always the problem.

Bodycam video shows Illinois cop shooting unarmed 14-year-old suspected of breaking a window

Tell the story for what it. A police officer shot a child. What they were or weren't suspected of, whether they had a weapon or not, doesn't matter.
