Bananas and potatoes. I can’t say that I enjoy bananas now, but I tolerate them kinda and eat them regularly.

We ate potatoes for just about every meal when I was a kid so I started to dislike it, but now I love potatoes in every form and eat it as much as I can.

I hope you haven’t missed the series

Well, obviously. :P

Ah, so it’s a ‘you voted wrong’ safeguard. :|

Only in FPTP systems

Indirect voting? Why would I trust my vote to someone else claiming they will honour my choice.

Edit: also gerrymandering, registering to vote, not having the election on a holiday so everyone has a chance to vote, candidates for presidents being voted for before the vote??

Well yes, you could? That’s why science gets peer reviewed. If it’s not something that can be reproduced it won’t pass. And psychology is difficult since there’s so many factors that can change, which brings back my earlier point, facts can change. :)

Plate tectonics wasn’t discovered until recently so before the 60’s, it was a fact that continents didn’t move. Then it was discovered that they do actually move, and now it’s a fact that they do.

That’s why science is peer reviewed and a different matter. You can also potentially fact check it yourself. But this is digressing from the point

Yes thank you, I’m aware of those. :) I meant via your own instance. I’m registered on a very small instance, and being able to discover other instances from your own would make it much more usable.

…Unless that is already possible. Lemmy isn’t that intuitive, at least for me

Isn’t it always that >95% of users are lurkers? I don’t bother logging in most of the time, I just go to lemmy.world or something and sort by all

Finding instances for sure. Just learned in this thread that sorting by ‘all’ doesn’t show me every instance

Faith and belief isn’t the same thing, no? Faith is something you have regardless of evidence.

Anyway, the difference between them are that one is evidence-based on a scientific ground, which should be the only valid evidence, while the other isn’t.

Just a guess, but no? Insults are subjective I suppose and not being able to ‘insult’ a country or it’s people would make many discussions impossible I think.

The difference is that one belief is evidence-based, and hence a fact, while the other isn’t

Which makes it a fact? Facts can change too

Read what I wrote again, you’re close to grasping it :)

To clear things up for you, you stated that laws had nothing to do with morality, and that is false as previously seen.

But I do agree that laws might not be a source of morality, even if some laws aim to alter how people view certain matters.

:S laws can be unmoral as well, yes? What do you not comprehend about laws being based on morality? Most laws, to specify for you so you don’t need to take that turn.

No what? What leaps did your galaxy brain take there?
