Split 5 to 4, Supreme Court Rejects Nevada Church’s Challenge to Shutdown Restrictions

FearlessFly comments on Jul 24, 2020:

. . . hmmm, a 5 - 4 split, seems to me like both 'sides' are splitting hairs on this one. :P

FearlessFly replies on Jul 25, 2020:

@AnneWimsey I'm all for church/state separation, but the 'flat 50' vs 50% difference seems arbitrary to me.

Pretenders [youtu.be]

FearlessFly comments on Jul 25, 2020:

(from rollingstone.com) The song was the starting point for the Pretenders’ new album, Hate for Sale, which comes out Friday. Guitarist James Walbourne came up with the title, shared it with Hynde and they worked out the music together for that song and the rest of the LP’s nine other tracks....

@FrayedBear "republishes" I have, and will continue to, 'chastise' posters for NOT posting original source(s), especially if the (alleged) source is nothing-more than an 'aggregator' like apple news or yahoo news or FB. IMO those don't qualify as journalism. The premise of your 'metaphor' is that there IS a baby, and it IS in the bathwater being thrown-out ! :P That is what fact-checkers are for, provide better one(s) if you have them.

@FrayedBear . . . and the comparison of a "broken mechanical clock" and a "quackery level pseudoscience website" is ludicrous. Even IF a clock is correct twice, no way to know when (IF) that happens. NO way to KNOW when/IF a website could be correct without corroboration from other sources. In the case of RT, other russians who contradict Putin publicly don't fare well -- I don't think that is an 'illusion'. :P If you have a credible, reliable way of finding-out about websites' reliability/credibility, the 'world' is looking for it.

I 'get' the entertainment aspect of musicals, but for me, good drama is about the "willing suspension of disbelief". Since I don't (ever) encounter folks 'breaking-out in song' in 'real' life, most musicals don't qualify :( Cabaret -- where all the singing is in the cabaret -- is certainly an exception.

Millions erroneously think ‘Secular’ is synonymous with ‘non-religious’.

FearlessFly comments on Jul 24, 2020:

. . . why not provide source(s) for the claim ? https://www.secularism.org.uk/what-is-secularism.html . . .btw, it is not clear-to-me, that secularism is **vital** for world peace. I advocate a 'constructed' universal language like Esperanto (there are others).

FearlessFly replies on Jul 24, 2020:

@Grecio . . . first, post(s) making claims (especially ones that purport of "millions erroneous") SHOULD provide evidence (sources). Why would Critical Thinkers be expected to take anyones' word-for-it ? . . . second, while I'm all-in-favor of secularism, I don't think it is VITAL for peace (I do think it is useful). Imagine if the entire world population ALL spoke the SAME language -- don't you think there would be less war (not claiming it would be eliminated) ?

When will '3D' printed chicken nuggets make it to a KFC near you ?

hankster comments on Jul 23, 2020:

man that is so weird. meat print. does it make real meat or is it just made from the same stuff meat is?

FearlessFly replies on Jul 23, 2020:

(from bizjournals.com) "The 3D printed nuggets will be as close as possible in both taste and appearance to the original KFC product, as KFC will provide its partner with all of the necessary ingredients, such as breading and spices, to achieve the brand's signature taste. Biomeat has exactly the same microelements as the original product, the release continued, and does not harm animals in the process of its creation. Receiving a final product for testing is already planned for the fall of 2020 in Moscow." . . . does that answer your "real meat or is it just made from the same stuff meat is" 'question' ? . . . I guess that's what's called "The itty bitty pieces-parts" :O :)

FearlessFly replies on Jul 22, 2020:

@hankster Ignorance is not a crime (we all suffer from it in some ways), but I don't subscribe to the 'ignorance is bliss' idiom. We are increasingly confronted with "information is the coin-of-the-realm". Those who have info generally prosper more than those who don't. Therefore, "willful ignorance" can be considered, at least foolish, if not worse. NO doubt there are exceptions, like 'do I really want to know about a life-threatening DNA mutation". ymmv

@Captain_Feelgood https://www.themonastery.org/aboutUs "The Universal Life Church Monastery (ULC) is a non-denominational, non-profit religious organization" (would that it were not true for tax purposes) All religious organizations are considered non-profit (as oppose to not-for-profit). "champion of religious freedom" Instead of churning-out 'ministers' wouldn't it be PREFERABLE to advocate that "ministers" be not considered the 'go-to' persons for 'morality' and be NOT REQUIRED to be 'ministers' ? IMO, non-believers have no need for 'ministers', especially the ordained kind(s), and therefore no need for churches (I understand the 'social' aspect).

I whole-heartedly agree, pfp is incentivising to keep the prisons full. I think (hope) that is part of the 'defund' effort(s). (added) I'm not an optomist, but perhaps money going to 'military stuff' for police might be shifted back to taxpayer funded prisons.

. . . soooo, let see if I got this straight . . . I'm certainly not opposed to someone demonstrating credible evidence otherwise . . . (I don't/won't do FB), but there is this FB post, claimed (on FB) to be from Fauci posted on FB when ? Other than that FB post, NO other source could be found ...

@Cutiebeauty . . . my local Cub is open 24/7 -- although there were a few days (protests) where they were closed from 9pm-9am.
