Imagine you moved countries, and we’re entitled to vote in both.

You have to tell the new country you exist there.

That’s the most common failure mode in the US, when you move states or even counties and there’s a miscommunication or lack of communication between where you came from and where you are. There is no top level federal voter database.

There are other issues, but this is the most common.

You don’t vote at a federal level, you vote at a state level, for federal stuff. (And state/local stuff)

No, the shuttle ALONE is not a launch vehicle. It’s an orbiter. They are apples to oranges.

It does not power itself off the pad, it uses boosters. So comparing the boosters to the SpaceX stuff is most relevant

May god be with you on you’re quest

If you want an actual “answer”, some christians believe the following:

1. Unborn children are sent from God to populate his earth.
2. They are at birth only burdened with “original sin”, which Jesus lived and died for.
3. They believe a child not baptized, and not on the Jesus train still have the stain of original sin. So they believe that soul is fucked, as it never had the chance to get to heaven. That’s why they believe abortion is especially heinous.

Next:

1. Many Christians believe in prosperity doctrine, wherein when you see someone doing well, that’s because they are aligned with God in some way or form, and their success is god’s success.
2. If you see someone doing poorly, it is because they have not accepted Jesus.

Healthcare:

1. Many believe that illness and failure are reflections of sin at worst, or simply god’s tests at Best.

2. As before, lack of money for healthcare is attributed to a lack of alignment with God, as if he intended for you to get that healthcare, you would.

So the conclusion of this delusional mindset is that children must be given the chance at baptism to get their soul on the way to heaven.

Adults need to align with God in their lifestyle and choices, else bad things will happen and it’s all their fault. So when you see an adult failing, it’s not like they didn’t have a chance to get right with God!

Because this is Lemmy, be clear, I do not hold this position but was raised in Christianity.

Edit there are people that actually, truly believe a fetus killed by abortion is murder of the darkest sort: a murder that robs the soul’s chance at heaven. That not only are you “killing”, but you are killing in a very, very dark way.

Of those who actually believe this, I can’t imagine any compromise being reached, ever. How do you compromise with "willfully casting a soul into eternal darkness?

Many fake Christians only approach this topic from a control standpoint: they want to dominate others through fear. But the real believers are on another planet.

Pedantic, but the shuttles were orbiters not rockets

Review my comments in this post. No one is arguing that the safety from what is CARS. that’s not the point.

The point is about the system as it currently stands, today.

There’s no enemy Donny. You’re talking about your own countrymen.

Very cool post. Subscribed to the group too, hadn’t seen this place.

Probably best as you closed your last with a potentially gendered insult and didn’t clarify.

Back on point: it’s not victim blaming when someone uses an existing system definitively wrong. If you sunbathe on a train track and get run over, you are the only one to blame.

A more interesting topic for this community would be how to remap the traditional US suburb to establish more safe space for pedestrians, specifically how sidewalks out front of existing properties could take up some of the pavement, with traffic calming measures, and dedicated bike lanes.

Indeed, and there’s no need for excusatory language like “what else could they possibly have done?”

Obviously cars are more dangerous than human bodies. We all acknowledge that.

The point is the space is already designated for cars. That should change, sure, but for today, that’s how it is.

So a human on the proverbial train tracks is the one in danger. It’s not a safety issue for the car, but the person. Which was my point that you are trying to dodge.

Also not sure what the ma’am was for, were you suggesting something?

I get it that it comes off as “just feel better bro” but if society can’t draw the line at “don’t stab children, it’s literally never acceptable, regardless of circumstances” then what’s even the point?

Edit to be clear I took issue with the “what else are they supposed to do?” As if there’s ever a set of mental or external circumstances that normalize what happened. There isn’t.

Watch for “buttmeister”. Then you know it’s real

So, what was actually said?

Well, not stab children.

Good mod post

I think it’s just reposts from Reddit?
