I hope every bad driver has that nightmare about their teeth falling out.

I'm going to laugh so hard when the people who go "LOL you hate A.I. because you are a luddite" have all their jobs replaced by A.I. automated robots.

They're all gonna be like :O "But not my job right??"

Remember kids, private property theft is the direct result of the government keeping wages low and profits high for billionaires so that the most desperate people have no other choice but to steal your Xbox or catalytic converter so they can make rent.

Wow, just heard how completely fucked right up #Twitchcon was.

Things #Twitch is apparently cool with now include literally breaking the backs of streamers, not having disability access for patrons, and random people sexually assaulting popular streamers in person while they do nothing in response.

Beautiful photo, you should title it: "Florida man escapes local jail and tries to eat people through the internet."

Misogyny is kinda gay dog.

Like what do you mean you only want men in charge of things?

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

You shouldn't have to stay quiet about these things, but saying you don't feel the need to be nice feels hypocritical because it sounds like if they can't be nice, you won't either.

Kindness should always be the thing to strive for.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

Also, I understand that although it is upsetting to be belittled, attacked, or mocked, that should not justify being rude to strangers based upon a common characteristic, especially when you don't know them.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

So although there are some groups, they are not representative of atheists as a whole or non-believers in general.

I don't see the need to poke at an entire group of hundreds of millions of people. If there is an issue with an individual or organization, it would make more sense to discuss them.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

While there are atheists who form groups based on being atheists, the entirety of atheists are not a group in any sense. That's part of my point. Christians all have a defining belief in a god and their prophet, but atheists are people from all over the world and are very diverse in every category.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

All this is to say, I am sorry if people have had poor experiences with others who claim to be atheists before. But there really is no reason to pick on atheists specifically, as the behaviors are neither unique to atheists, nor are they indicative of atheists as a whole.

It's a stereotype.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

Especially when those people are only grouped together by something they have no choice in, like their skin color, gender, sexuality, etc.

Atheists similarly are bound by a lack of choice. You cannot choose to believe in something that makes no sense to you, it would be performative at best.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

The thing that is really the most worrying, is the "othering" that happens to groups of people based on singular personal experiences. These anecdotes of "this one time this guy said to me" and "I once saw this person do this thing" is what leads to stereotyping of entire categories of people.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

The entire point of being an atheist is that atheists don't do something. They don't believe in gods.

Having those folks be organized would be like people who don't play sports having a "No sports allowed" club. It wouldn't make much sense.

I think on an individual basis, everyone should be kind.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

I understand you've had some bad experiences with people who are atheistic before.

Considering that, I don't know how atheists are supposed to talk about this in the open more, as they are not only a minority that gets targeted even in 2025, but they have no organized structure.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

All proselytizers bother people. I don't understand why specifically atheists are an issue to the point of making it the main issue.

Christians of a hundred varieties, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and Mormons all proselytize. I'm asking why the atheists are being called out specifically?

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

People love to get grumpy over nothing.

Like yeah, I don't believe in religions for the same reason I don't believe in Santa Claus, but it's a non-position.

Being an atheist doesn't give us automatic moral superiority.

PeatDragon @peatdragon.bsky.social · 18d

Feels really disingenuous, like hate-bait.

I don't understand why people need to attack a group of folks that aren't bothering anyone with generalizations and anecdotes.

Like okay, maybe you got bothered by a few annoying atheists, but what's the point of this? Is this just to hate on folks, or?

Half of Palestinians in Gaza are under the age of 18. When they have every hospital, grocery store, food bank, aid distribution center, and refugee camp having been bombed directly by Israel, knowing they are largely killing children.. that is directly a genocide.

You are trying to justify genocide

Going to send in my submission to EA to help them save a little money and repay that $20,000,000,000 debt.

Using LLM chat model "A.I." for everything is going to make men even more useless at basic tasks.

If you ever want to make people think you're a psycho, you can put gelatin in your milk and horrify them by slurping it down in congealed form.
