I would add that regularity and familiarity are key as well. How often does he do this? Is it at restaurants where he is a regular and knows them? If he’s a regular who does this occasionally, probably fine. If he hangs out by the kitchen of every Applebee’s or Cracker Barrel he wanders into, he’s a serial killer probably.

I don’t know who her surgeon was, but she should sue.
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
pachrist@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•“You cannot serve both God and money”English721·1 month ago"Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’
Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
I have always loved how simply Jesus spells it out.
As a kid, I always felt it was so implausible that the Jews would kill Jesus. Yes he claims to be God, which is a no-no, but how can a message of peace and love be so divisive? As an adult, I’ve come to realize that it’s divisive to people who are angry and filled with hate, to people who hate peace and love. The Pharisees of 30CE are the exact same as most Christians today. If you walked in to some Trump country Baptist church today and flipped over the collection plates and told everyone there they were going to hell because the want to deport immigrants instead of help them, you’d be shot for sure.

pachrist@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?English6·2 months agoSame, but when I began really looking at it and trying to overcome it, I found it’s a very universal experience, certainly not divided by gender.
When you look at these odd archetypes of what people want out of the ideal man or woman, they all share the same core. Strong, independent, doesn’t need help, doesn’t want help. The individualistic experience is such a sad, lonely, miserable, experience. They want to be able to go it alone, but in hundreds of thousands of years of truly human existence, going it alone is such an exception. Our weights and burdens and lives are meant to be shared. They always have been and always will be.
For example, I have a 4 year old son who has been infatuated with ballet for a couple months now. There are dads today who are beating their sons for liking ballet. It’s terrible. But it’s not that ballet is “queer” or that men don’t do ballet. There are plenty of men who are queer. There are plenty of men who do ballet. But, I don’t do ballet. If I beat my son, it’s because I am making it about myself. I don’t want a son who does ballet. That is as narcissistic and individualistic as it gets.
That’s not to say that it’s not toxic masculinity, just that the toxic masculinity is narcissism in a trench coat.
pachrist@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?English193·2 months agoI have two.
There is no such thing as toxic masculinity or toxic femininity. There is only toxic individualism.
Sometimes, you shouldn’t be yourself. The person you are might be awful. Bullying and societal pressure correcting you to a norm can be a good thing.

pachrist@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Europeans of Lemmy, is American beer really that bad?English161·4 months agoI think a lot of American breweries confuse “interesting” beer with “good” beer, because in the US, as long as it doesn’t taste like Coors, you’re fine.
It’s the chicken bacon ranch pizza problem. It’s good. I like it. But I don’t want it every time I have pizza. I definitely can’t eat a whole chicken bacon ranch pizza, even if I spread the leftovers over the week. But a slice every now and then is great.
“Good” American beer is generally pretty fatiguing to drink. Good European beer isn’t. That’s how it is for me at least.
Nazi Germany persecuted a wide variety of people. While the Holocaust specifically refers to the atrocities committed against the Jews, there were up to 5 million more Slavs, Roma, LGBT, disabled, communists, and political disadents of any kind who were killed.
Particularly leading up to the Nazis sizing power, much of their initial rhetoric was absolutely targeted at Jews, but much of their initial action was targeted at communists, since they were political rivals.

But that doesn’t matter. If it cost $15m, $50m, $500m, or even more than that, it’s probably worth it to take a dump in Sam Altman’s morning coffee.
