medical terms are now no longer medical terms and just purely an insult

Language drifts over time, that’s normal, always has been. Stay on target soldier. FORMAL language however needs very strict definitions or it just stops working. Words mean things is true. That still doesn’t mean you get to say the “R” word.

What I’m hearing is laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation?

We spent 100 years engineering the world to decrease birth rates and punish people for having children “they cannot afford”, then immiserate the majority of people, eliminate any kind of opportunity to enjoy life, community, family, or recreation without spending ungodly amounts of money to enjoy simple human pleasures that have been part of being human for hundreds of thousands of years, work them relentlessly 24/7/365 (or as close as we permit them) for the sake of business efficiency, destroy the environment so survival itself becomes dependent on the business cycle, and we wonder why no one wants to raise a child in this environment?

Honestly, we have spent a century ruthlessly punishing people for even thinking of making a marginally irrational decision and then wonder why they won’t indulge in an objectively irrational activity for the emotional fulfillment.

As far as I’m aware, no on officially still worships Baal, although there might be some surviving fragments of that tradition in Tunisa oddly enough. Carthaginian beliefs pre-Christian/Islam was deeply Phoenician.

Edit: Grammar

Moloch (seemingly derived from the words for King and Shame) was the one who required child sacrifice. Baal was a storm god, like Zeus. Often considered the chief rival of Yahweh (YHWH) during the Jewish conquest of Canaan as they were, at the time, both storm gods.

There’s nothing intrinsically bad or “archaic” about forums. It’s the forum platforms that sucked for some people. It took some thought and work to manage a forum. The only advantage a Discord server had was that it’s simple enough, a brain damaged squirrel could run one. It saved you from having to do your homework and just created a simple plug-and-play space that required no skill on the owner/mods part.

Not sure if Stoat does audio rooms, but I know you can use SonoBus for that
