  • Yeah, that stems from the original sense of the word. The story goes a bit like this:

    In Genesis 19, Sodom is visited by 2 angels and they were pressured by the men of Sodom to have sex with them. This lead to the interpretation of homosexual activities being an original sin, but there are accounts in the bible that it was not meant that way. Mainly Ezekiel 16:49 which reads

    Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

    So, the sexual advances were likely meant to serve as an example of decadence rather than a stipulation that homosexual activities are sins. But it was simply easier to hate on a marginalized group rather than undergoing the onerous task of actually becoming a better human being.







  • There is an “unlicensed” car repair shop in my town. They always service upper-price class, new-looking cars with license plates from far away. Never actually seen anyone working on them, but the suit wearers that collect the cars always seem happy. Not fishy at all, no need to investigate.












  • Interesting, for complex tasks that require thought, the most efficient grouping tends to involve groups with diverse backgrounds and a work culture that values disagreement

    Not surprising. Complex tasks involve learning and learning requires some form of information exchange. People of different background pooled together have a much larger spectrum of different information so each one can act as a piece of the puzzle to fulfill the complex task. The disagreement, I imagine, largely comes from having to break your own routine which is irritating.

    which is basically the opposite of what’s going on in American government right now, lol.

    Also not surprising lol


  • Ernsthafte Antwort: Die AfD ist zweitstärkste Partei und darum will die ARD mit deren Wählern anbandeln um bessere Einschaltquoten zu erziehlen. Die alten ARD Stammkonsumierer sind eben am Aussterben. “Zukunftsinvestition” könnte man sagen, schert doch den überbezahlten Intendanten nicht, ob es moralisch richtig ist.

    Gut, dass ich kein Fernsehn schaue. Hab seit über 6 Jahren nicht mehr ins TV eingeschaltet, hab nichtmal einen Receiver. Die einzige Sache, die ich schauen würde, wären die Fußball-WM/EM und die kann ich auch in der Mediathek schauen (wofür bezahl ich sonst GEZ?)
