I think you may be conflating things a bit. Atheism is simply a lack of belief in gods, it doesn't automatically come with a particular worldview. Worldviews are much more broad, as the name would imply. They encompass a set of values and assumptions about life. Atheism doesn't prescribe how someone views politics, morality, or society. Those are shaped by other philosophies like humanism or existentialism.

I agree that no one is immune to the dysfunctions of collective action, and atheists can certainly fall prey to the same human errors and biases that affect any group. However, attributing those flaws to atheism itself misses the point. The fact that individuals with different beliefs, whether religious or non-religious, have varying behaviors doesn't stem from atheism as a 'worldview'—it's part of the complex nature of human society.

Criticism of specific worldviews is valid, but atheism as a simple lack of belief in gods doesn't operate on the same level as belief systems that come with doctrines and tenets.

Calling atheism a belief is like calling bald a hair color. Or like saying 'not collecting stamps' is a hobby

That immediately stuck out to me as well, what a lame excuse not to patch. I've been in IT for a while now, and I've never worked in any shop that would let that slide.

This is a place where honor killings, female genital mutilation, and arranged/child marriages are commonplace. I get that progress takes time, and that war was a major setback, but trying to portray Iraq as a safe place for women to travel is disingenuous at best.

Also:

"they even sometimes have more freedom then men here,"

Wtf are you smoking? Please give me an example of a situation in which this is true, because considering what I've read so far, i have MAJOR doubts.

I'd love to visit Iraq and other parts of the middle east, but the culture surrounding women and their rights prevents me from going. I havent checked out Iraq specifically, but based on my reading of nearby Egypt, it's so ass backwards that I couldn't in good conscience take my wife there. The risk of sexual harassment, assault, etc is just too great.

Behold the power of stem cells

I suspect the inention of the bot is to summarize the reviews of "real" people, but yeah, certainly doesnt seem immune to hallucinating

Not as far as I am aware, but yeah, something like how Trillian worked back in the day for IM would be great

Cult of the Lamb with my SO, and Moonlighter on my own.

Lets not forget Pol Pot

I call when i hear gunshots.

I think he's maybe just too obvious a choice and people are trying to be more creative in their answer.

Also, could the harm Hitler caused truly be inflicted back on his physical form? It seems to me like there is no way he could truly pay for what he'd done (if he were to live again).

10 years ago i might have agreed with that, but these days even when you pay for it you're probably still getting harvested.

Am i the only one who just presses the windows button and types the setting thry want? I havent looked at control panel forever...

Ha! Thats amazing

How does this article show it was a valid defence? They withdrew, as they knew it clearly wasnt going to work for them, so im not sure what your point is...

1. I'll eat my hat if that turns out to be a working defence for Disney, so as a reason to pirate, it's pretty feeble.

2. Duh?

3. Hardly. Hollywood is breaking box office records every other month, and the pirating community is very, very small compared to the larger population. Have you looked at video game prices lately? Movie ticket prices? Theyre out of control, seemingly not bothered by piracy in the slightest. Studio lawyers are going after piracy because they have nothing else better to do then pursue every point of revenue increase they possibly can, including going after the small fish.

But you forgot the biggest reason....It's free.

The large majority of people who pirate couldn't give a shit about "digital media preservation". Sure, people all have their own reasons, but to the other commentors point, most people are gonna delete shit right after they listen/play/watch it. Storage space is expensive.

Man, BBC really scraping the bottom of the barrel for content here 😄

Did something change in advertising law in the US in the last few years? I feel like ive been seeing this specific phrase in advertising more and more lately.

Totally agree. The self aggrandizing, "hero of digital media preservation" thing is getting a bit ridiculous.
