New: Mufti Bill requires consultation as it impacts both Muslims and non-Muslims

The Mufti Bill (Federal Territories) 2024 has sparked concern due to its potential impact on Malaysia’s multi-ethnic society. Though aimed at the Muslim community, the bill’s emphasis on a singular ideological framework risks undermining diversity and pluralism. Critics argue that the bill grants excessive immunity to a specific position while rejecting differing views, which could lead to…

Okay concept. Bruce Wayne becomes the target of the Leverage crew...only thanks to his Nebulous Contacts, he's heard of these people, and recognizes what's happening halfway through the con.

Since being targeted by the Leverage crew means that you're the asshole, his response is to pull them aside and be like "Please tell me how I've been the asshole and how I can fix it."

I'm not sure yet whether the inciting wrong against the client-of-the-week is something he's being wrongly blamed for, something his subordinates did without his knowledge, something he let happen through passive carelessness, or something he genuinely did on purpose (and might take some convincing to even see as wrong) but I think any of those options have potential.

You know all those dumb arguments that planned economies can't work because inefficiency or human nature or whatever. I've seen so many dumb and harmful shit going on just this past month with "free markets" that I actually believe command economies are a necessity to keep us safe from dumb and harmful shit, something essential like public water works.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO START GOING TO CHURCH AGAIN AFTER GOD GIVES THEM STAGE 4 CANCER

Ngl, I’m not entirely sure where the “Miguel and Hobie hate each other” reading comes from, when from their like. One interaction i don’t personally get the impression they think much about each other at all shdhdjfjf

Miguel seems kind of exasperated with Hobie sure, but the tone of that interaction is relatively lighthearted. It’s more of a joke that by virtue of Miguel being a stringent rule follower, Hobie not caring overly much about those rules exasperates him. And Hobie knows it annoys Miguel and thinks that’s funny, thus prodding him again with the “I’m not even here/nah still here” routine. But there doesn’t seem to be like, genuine personal anger on either side. Just an ideological divide that actualises even further when Miles’ very existence provides another answer to the overhanging stakes.

Rotating JJerusalem AU Francetto at the highest speed in my head, because Francesco values Dolcetto for seeing through all the class and order bullshit and values him as someone who is intellectually of his rank and who he will defend and behind closed doors treat as an equal, but it IS still medieval times and Francesco values his head upon his shoulders, so he also never openly challenges the social order nor would Dolcetto ever dream to suggest something like that. And Francesco expresses his affection also partly by reassuring Dolcetto of his high and deserved status.

Like, people outside the dominant social system have always existed and putting them back into the world via historical fiction, acknowledging that we haven't heard of them because they survived by being lowkey, is fun! It is not necessarily an ahistorical modern point of view if done right. But I just think that also trying to incorporate a worldview that is as similiar to ours as it is different can be a lot of fun in fiction.

huge swaths of people are only "communists" because social media has rendered a lot of peoples' relationships to politics a shallow game of aesthetics and will turn around and blame communism for being shallow.

There's just certain segments of the "online left" who in like 5 years time if they do a heel turn and say "the communist social media brainwashing monopoly rly had me tricked when I was young and naive. Now im a nuanced social democrat who believes [...]" it rly wouldn't come as a surprise whatsoever

Growing up, I was dragged to Lutheran church by my mother. I have since left and have been actively deconstructing for years at this point, but having grown up in it, I can say with authority: it makes no fucking sense. The book contradicts itself so much it's like you can pull just about any message you want from it, even in the comparatively small section that Lutherans focus on. Any contradictions are explained away in thought terminating cliches, and upon any real examination it all falls apart. But, even that is explained away as "not believing hard enough". It's so bad that the arguments I have with my mom about politics and religion always leave me speechless - not because I can't argue back, but because the shit that is said is *so* wrong that it's hard to find where to start, and when I *do* try, it's like arguing with a brick wall. One that attributes just about everything to their sky blorbo.

Ah. So americans are about to find out what it feels like to be sanctioned and embargoed by major members of the international world stage.

Cool, cool.

I'm sure we will learn normal things from this as a society, and not, for example, set off a raging global conflict triggered by the mass coalescence of abusers and enablers into the highest offices of the land.

Italian (and therefore much christianity very papal) here: the above text is the best way you should follow life

One time I ate probably way too many mushrooms and I could feel my trip going bad. So, I turned to my roommate and I said something along the lines of,

"I feel amazing but I feel like this sensation has a price and I'm about to pay it."

To which he responded, "What are you, catholic?" And that knocked me so firmly out of my mental state that the rest of the trip was hands down the best time I ever did mushrooms.

Man I love finding a philosopher/sociologist/Analyzer-Of-Things that agrees with me. Like the feeling of thinking about something, forming an opinion, and then finding out other people ALSO thought about the thing AND reached the same conclusion as you is unmatched
