If you interpret monotheism as incompatible with materialism and as prescriptive of equality, most Jews, Christians and Muslims lose it at the first commandment.

Edit: Self included, naturally.

    It was a beautiful comment. Some people struggle with irony. Btw, I don't think anyone is concious of their unconcious biases. If you give a shit, in the broad sense, you just have to keep trying.

    You're interviewing two candidates and you just seem to prefer Dan over Eric, who has dreads. You're not really sure why you prefer Dan, but you're sure it's nothing to do with racism. You feel confident because you have a daughter-in-law you love like your own, who happens to be black. Are you racist if you hire Dan?

    Those against website age verification argue that content blocking should happen at the OS level. For example, a parent could enable the built-in "child mode" on their child's smartphone or computer. As I understand it, that would be more effective, graceful, cheaper, free speechy, and private. To a degree, tech savvy parents (and people who block ads and other content) already do similar things with third party tools - i.e. it's feasible.
