I had the exact same reaction.

Log in | Sign up@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus1·20 days agoYou consistently “both sides” politics and choose to see no difference between the party of hate and the party of compromise. There’s only one reason to equate the evil party with the unhelpful party.
Jesus didn’t say “justify your moral errors whilst choosing the path that reduces your tax burden” and he certainly didn’t say “it’s ok to vote for the ones that stand for almost everything I preached against, I certainly didn’t mean that the whole country should act lovingly, and your tax reducing charitable donation and your ‘charity begins at home’ excuses you from moral culpabilty if you vote for more cruelty and selfishness to wash over the whole country”
Did you think Jesus can’t see what you’re doing on the voting machine? Did you think he doesn’t know why? Do you really think he doesn’t care about the poor people that have their benefits cut so that the rich can have a tax cut?
“Weep and wail, ye rich men. You have not paid the wages of those who reap. In their anguish they have cried out to the Lord, and he has heard them.”
But no, sure, God has no opinion on kings and leaders and doesn’t care if they are the enemy of truth and justice. That’s the message of whatever Bible you’re not reading, I’m sure. /s
Log in | Sign up@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus1·20 days agoDenying Jesus’ insistence that you should look after the poor, the widows and foreigners is aok by you, though, for some reason. “If you love me, follow my commands.” “When did we see you hungry and not feed you?” “It is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.”
You’ve corrupted a message of “no, pay your taxes and your synagogue” and “love your neighbour (meaning anyone who is in need, including foreigners, and put your money where your mouth is)” into “it’s fine to advocate for and vote for tax cuts for the wealthiest and aid cuts for those on greatest need, and incarcerating people for being foreign”.
There is no get out clause for selfishness and hatred via the ballot box as you’re claiming.
If I thought for a moment that you meant something other than that you find yourself excuses for supporting the Liar in Chief and the grand old party of selfishness, hatred and racism, I wouldn’t be calling you out on it, but you’re not just lying about Jesus’ message, you’re lying about your political neutrality which is non-existent and attempting to draw others into your duplicity and self deception.

Log in | Sign up@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus4·21 days agoIt sounds like you’re using “pay your taxes” to argue that it’s ok by Jesus if you vote for the Republican party, which I think is messed up because he said so much about caring for others.
Log in | Sign up@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus11·21 days agoI’m confident that he would disagree with the Republican party!
Log in | Sign up@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Which of these javascript expressions is false?8·2 months agoI always thought that NaN is required by IEEE rules to never equal any other number, including itself, because you can make NaN in different ways and this shouldn’t result in equality or something, so C is wild but not javascript’s fault.
The other three being true is definitely javascript’s insane fault, though.

Because a soup boiled is a soup spoiled.8·2 months agoDepends on the soup. Tinned soup from some manufacturer, maybe. My mum’s chicken soup? Boil that thing gently for hours and your tongue will love you for a week.

Log in | Sign up@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•All morning trying to fix something in CSS...3·5 months agoI use it for web apps rather than plain pages, and you can certainly use it with your existing css, and you can roll new css in a clean and non-clashy way with elm-css, but, like I say, elm-ui lets you RELIABLY build your ui.
Log in | Sign up@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•All morning trying to fix something in CSS...7·5 months ago!important This is my work nightmare, but for side projects I use elm and elm-ui and I just don’t need css. So nice, so stable, so robust, so eeeeeasy to maintain. It’s genuinely a delight. Boss nopes out when he sees all the whitespace, though, as if semicolons were the only thing keeping things sane.
Log in | Sign up@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Let’s just add one more feature2·5 months agoThe side project is safe from managerial interference. At work though, nothing is functional. Well, boss always claims we’re combining the best of the functional programming world and the best of the object oriented world and the best of the agile world, but what he means is we can have as many buzzwords as he’s heard at conferences as long as we’re prepared to ignore the actual principles and do it the way we always did it. Give him is due, he is not an unreasonable man and will actually support you and listen to sense, but he’s absolutely not interested in fundamental change.
Uuuhhhhh, copilot, is that you?!
