  • I think you may be taking the criticism at your religion and not the people.

    Judaism is in a fun boat where it’s ethnicity and culture, so I say this next statement while knowing the above l:

    People don’t dislike the Jewish faith for circumcision. They dislike Jewish people who adhere to nonsensical and harmful traditions. Someone’s religion holds no bearing to me as far as the denomination itself, it’s what they choose to carry forward. I had Muslim friends in college who I’d get into disagreements with, because some of them genuinely believed some backwards shit about women. Some didn’t, and I was closer with those that didn’t. I don’t dislike those people who thought differently than me, but I did like them less, if only because they were letting their culture/tradition get in the way of facts and modern sensibilities.

    You can continue to practice whatever fundamentalist beliefs you choose, know that people are often judging the act and not the religion as a whole, at least, that’s been the case when I’ve dived deeper with people who express it.

    Genital mutilation is genital mutilation. You can say you do it for cultural reasons, but the response from those that disagree with it’s existence have nothing to do with your culture and everything to do with the barbarity of the medically unnecessary cosmetic genital surgery.


  • After reading through a lot of the comments:

    Because he’s coming off oh so very condescending and espousing the SAME ‘level’ of opinion as everyone else but getting combative/rude sith his responses being called out for having the same objective merit.

    You can have an opinion. BUT:

    “Why don’t you like this?” “Because it’s a controller, duh” “But things can have extra little things in them” “It’s useless, it’s a controller. Lame of you to like it”

    People here in Lemmy often seem to have this problem where they communicate EXACTLY over text how they might in real life, but not realize that 0% of their non-verbals are coming through and so if they don’t change the writing style it just comes off prick-ish and argumentative

    I don’t know, i’ve NEVER seen a believable performance from Dwayne Johnson. But John Cena and Bautista have both really dug down and widened their range. The rock does the same movie, same shirt, same stupid Kevin Hart addition, constantly. The guy from The Run Down is the same as the guy from fast and furious is the same from gridiron gang.
