The problem with religion is it primes people for believing things just based on a trusted authority saying so. There's no evidence in support of the existence of any supernatural entities whatsoever, and there's no evidence to support the existence of a life after death, but people believe it anyway and religion holds their "faith" to be a virtue in and of itself. You could argue that that isn't harmful by itself, but consider that many religious people believe things that the evidence of their own eyes proves impossible, and that any idea is fair game when you treat faith as a virtue. It doesn't matter if people today only believed the "good" parts of religion, eventually someone will corrupt their blind faith and convince them of whatever they want, like that being gay is a sin worthy of death, that trans people are evil and shouldn't be allowed to exist, that your pastor is totally a great guy and you should donate money to the church and totally trust him alone with your kids. The dangers of religion are in teaching people to stop thinking for themselves.
I have to hard disagree with you there. The beauty of the math equations they test you with in school is completely artificially selected. The vast majority of math does not have nice neat solutions. There is a lot of it that doesn't have any solution at all. The beauty of engineering is figuring out how much of things you actually need. You might calculate that some quantity should be an irrational number for some design optimum, but the amount of precision you actually need will be some range around that. When you do that and see your design in the real world actually functioning, that's the greatest feeling in the world by far.
Every accusation is a confession.
That is a beautiful cat
I think my CEO is doing something wrong then because he seems to be trying to maximize IC whiplash sometimes.
You can say bullshit on the internet. You can also say shit. Some more fun words you can use are fuck, cunt, cock, dick, pussy, bitch, and ass. Don't let the cunty puritans win. Don't give in to censorship.
What you're missing is some men legitimately hate their wives and children and dislike spending time with them. Others drank the coolaid of American capitalist propaganda. Your child will only be a newborn once and your wife will need the help. If anything you should be normalizing it by telling all your friends and colleagues how great it is and how happy you are to get to spend that time with your family. Never shut up about how awesome it is. Expound at length about the many benefits you personally enjoyed thanks to your time with your new child. Every man you convince makes the world a better place.
This is the same argument that results in the majority of software created being slow stupid trash. "We don't have time to fix those major architectural problems that are going to grind improvement to a halt later, we need to release this new stupid feature yesterday because line must go up."
