@Alfred ah, I see! No, I wasn't looking for the location of a particular image. I'd like to know how you go about answering those types of queries.

@Alfred lost you there, I'm afraid. Which image are you referring to?

@Alfred when asked to identify where a picture was taken, are you using exif data embedded in images?

Holy shit. The ending.

@Wbtphdjd If I were the clinic, I'd arrange to take my cryogenic freezer of embryos on a road trip of indeterminate length to the great state of California to contribute to their cultural enrichment. I might even go so far as to send the Alabama AG a postcard showing their safe arrival.

Well Alabama, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

@LnzyHou Better to have your ethics based upon the wellbeing of people than sin. It feels great not to have to search desperately for a bible quote like some lawyer looking to get his gay client off on a technicality. I can just ask myself whether an action contributes to the wellbeing of those affected.

@LnzyHou one of the joys of atheism is that I don't need to wrestle with the passages of the bible that condemn homosexuality as a sin. It's pretty clear about that. It's definitely a sin.

The difference is that I reject the concept of sin as a violation against God, since I have no good reason to believe that a god exists.

@LnzyHou unfortunately, the bible has too many examples that those men can cling to to justify their positions.

The bible is like a Rorschach ink blot test for those who need an external source for their ethics. It's far too easy to have it reflect what you want it to say.

When someone from an organization that seeks to "evangelize, equip and empower the next generation of Christlike men" says "The only people I want to see shot are the bad guys" I can't be the only person wondering if, in his eyes, I'll be one of them.

Why does Esther McVey always sound like she's just continually wiping dog shit off some Union Jack bunting? #bbcaq

I get the sense that this will require something rather more substantial than another round of crudely drawn NFT trading cards. 😆

Stop making plans.
Start living the rest of the only existence the evidence suggests we'll experience.

Tolerate less shit at work. You owe zero to the arseholes of this world.
Hug your loved ones more and cherish your time with them. Tomorrow is promised to none of us.

I'm putting down my phone now.
Why not do the same for a few hours?
