OP directly quoted article title. The article from Forbes uses allegedly to protect itself from a defamation lawsuit.

Maybe congresses salary should be a multiple of minimum wage so they always get increased together.

To add, I believe regardless of order of operations if we used () for every part of the equation it would no longer matter, but that would get tedious so as you said humans agreed on a shorthand for consistency.

"The thigh was considered the source of posterity in the ancient world. Or, more properly, the “loins” or the testicles. The phrase “under the thigh” could be a euphemism for “on the loins.” There are two reasons why someone would take an oath in this manner: 1) Abraham had been promised a “seed” by God, and this covenantal blessing was passed on to his son and grandson. Abraham made his trusted servant swear “on the seed of Abraham” that he would find a wife for Isaac. 2) Abraham had received circumcision as the sign of the covenant (Genesis 17:10). Our custom is to swear on a Bible; the Hebrew custom was to swear on circumcision, the mark of God’s covenant. The idea of swearing on one’s loins is found in other cultures, as well. The English word testify is directly related to the word testicles."

Fuck Assad, fuck Isreal, and fuck Hamas. The holocaust is real and killed many innocent jews and so is the Palestinian genocide that is happening right now by zionist.

I've met muslims that would find this act disgusting and I have met christians that would not care. Consider that religion is not the only factor at play. Maybe enforced patriarchy is, which is something the christian south in the US is well known for.

God fearing lives != raising good families

You have to pick one or the other.

I donate a nice chunk of cash to lemmyworld servers and devs. Meta is going to reduce the quality of Lemmy. It is going to get overrun with bots and advertisments and genuine conversations are going to dissapear. I and probably many other donators will not want to stick around if we get overrun with bot posts and advertisements like reddit.

It pisses me off that american taxpayers are paying for this shit. If Isreal wants to commit genocide so much, I don't want to fucking pay for it. See how far they get without us there backing them up.

Pointing out the hypocrisy is extremely useful for convincing open minded individuals who are listening to the arguement. Specifically the next generation.

It can be sometimes. I do a simple import in one of my personal projects. In case for the client, for over 20 years they have used excel to make all CRUD changes and now they get to build a brand spanking new website to do all of those CRUD changes and they still want to do it in excel.

The customer wants the brand new website we are building them to be able to load data from several types of excel files and then email them an excel file with results. Please shoot me...
