I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

Everyone evangelizes their children, even if the faith they’re evangelizing is agnosticism. “All faiths are equally valid” is just as much a religion as Christianity, except that it fails to lay a solid moral foundation and creates a weak, contradicting worldview. https://twitter.com/cindy_w_brandt/status/1215050922549604352 …

Vegetarian and “Healthy” Diets Could Be More Harmful to the Environment
“Eating lettuce is over three times worse in greenhouse gas emissions than eating bacon,” [per calorie]
"... eating the recommended 'healthier' foods — a mix of fruits, vegetables, dairy and seafood — increased the environmental impact in all three categories: Energy use went up by 38 percent, water use by 10 percent and GHG emissions by 6 percent."

Scott Adams is taking a seasoned, reasoned approach to his Iran analysis.
https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1213102535067631617?s=20
I haven't checked the news in a few days... Seems it's been eventful. I'm summary... There was an attack on a US embassy in Iraq, Trump branded it the anti-Benghazi and sent in support, no one died, then over the next few days authorized drone or other attacks to kill military leaders of Iran who were not in Iran, but were in Iraq, maybe in connection with this embassy attack. Is that right?
I'm guessing the perpetually exploding talking heads have been exploding, and those who have called every Trump breath a constitutional crisis call this one, and on the other side Trump is hailed as the most heroic hero to every heroically be heroic?
