@Cocodapuf @ChilledPeppers we didn't adopt, but some of our friends did, and it's been hard. I don't think they regret it at all, but hearing from them I always feel humbled when I feel exhausted from my own kids. At least we don't have to deal with the constant court cases from the side of the bio-parents they have to deal with.Poor kid got into panic fits when he heard his bio-mum wanted to take him away.

    @captainlezbian @GraniteM Hot Fuzz kinda did that, with the two main leads basically going all life partners with each other. It seems the script originally had a female love interest which was found to be a bit extraneous, so they gave all her dialogue to Danny, making for some very subtext-laden discussions about life and stupid action movies.

    @Buffalox completely discarding multiple sources written by multiple people saying the same thing as evidence because you decide on a whim they don't count is not a reasonable position. They might not be good evidence, but they still are evidence. This always seems to be nothing but a kneejerk reaction to all those Christians claiming the Bible is god-given truth. "Oh no, let's disregard everything written in this amazingly preserved textual corpus because I want to hurt those meanies"

    @Buffalox this discarding of the Bible as a source always sounds like an agenda in itself. Sure, it's mythologized, but it's a corpus of texts written by a multitude of authors corroborating at least some things between them.

    @Buffalox @Semjeza technically there is textual evidence of him coming back from the dead. From multiple authors even.It's readily available in every version of the Bible.(Now if that evidence is worth a rats ass is another question altogether)

    What's the etiquette for posting #mastodon or other federated posts on some of the other reddit-analogues? From what I see you can just mention a #piefed or #lemmy group in a post and it will create a post in that group.But is that actually something the users of those platforms want?@fediverse@lemmy.world @fediverse@kbin.social #fediverse
