Our thinking can be so twisted by religion. Imagine someone long ago wants to build a really tall tower. Nobody knows engineering, material science, etc. They just start stacking rocks on top of each other like they do when they made short buildings. Eventually it's so tall and heavy that it's no longer stable, one side sinks into the ground, and the whole thing falls over. And what's their takeaway? Is it about learning from their mistake and trying again? No, it's "God is punishing your hubris!" Religion just poisons the mind.

    One of my favorite games is trying to get the best price on a game I want. My backlog is a few years long at this point, so I don't need to buy any new games. But if I can find one I want for 90% off or more, I usually buy it anyways.

    Huy Fong Sriracha. Just don't even bother buying any other bottle of "sriracha" sauce. It's not worth it. Your disappointment will be immeasurable and your day will be ruined.

    Ukrainian flag - not political. Russian flag - political.

    Israeli flag - not political. Palestinian flag - political.

    I think that's the point of the lawsuit. You can't claim you're "completely apolitical and non-biased" when you actually support one side of a conflict and punish your employees who support the other side.
