You still continue to say that people having their rights violated means they don't exist. That's a demonstrably false and illogical statement. It's because people inherently have rights that they fight for them, and others take their side. Hence events like the French Revolution, the Abolition of slavery, or the Civil Rights Movement.

The concept is not new, 232 years old now, it shouldn't be that strange to you.

The vocation of tyrants is to have their head cut at some point, more or less figuratively.

Voting for Greece. Nude wrestling on Mount Olympus every 4 years. Back to basics, everyone should be content.

Of course I do, even under a Human Right violating regime. Human Rights transcend local authorities. And this authority would be both wrong and illegitimate if it has endorsed those Rights by ratifying a treaty that defines them, and somehow doesn't "belive" in them as you put it.

People always have those rights, no matter where they live, their religion, their cast or what not. That's the definition of Universal.

However, they are sometimes not respected and it's the duty of the international community to lobby against the perpetrators especially when they took the moral engagement to recognise them officially.

It not the wild west, there are voluntarily agreed upon international treaties that can be brought as a base for these discussions.

The oldest being 6, they don't have much agency. Are you trying hard to not understand?

Human Rights are Universal and Unalienable. But it's the fact that Japan chose to ratify the CRC treaty that "makes it so".

Children benefit to have both parents in their lives, especially when young and can not express consent. There are enough studies and exemples in every other developed countries where it's the norm that it's not a matter of opinion.

The UN's CRC is indeed about Children's Human Rights. The specific article in question being Art 9.3

At least the Games serve to shine light on Japan's refusal to respect UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child, despite ratifying it in 1994.

Japan's Law incites and rewards Child Abductions by giving sole custody to the first abductor. Judicial visitation decisions are not enforced.

By refusing to protect the fundamental Right of Children to access both their parents directly and regularly, as per the CRC, Japan is a massive and frequent Child Right violator.

In 2019, Japan Minister of Justice publicly and cynically qualified the CRC of "non-binding", and the European Parliament's resolution denouncing the violations of being "unfunded".

Is is estimated that between 150,000 and 200,000 new children each year, the majority Japanese, have this basic Human Right violated in Japan.

Preserving words history is far from stupid. Spellings of words bear meaning. Ethymology is extremely important to understand your own language, and how it relates to others. If we were to write every languages strictly phonetically, some would lose more than just etymology, but would even become a lot less understandable.

In France, pharmacists are trained and obligated by law to provide free mushroom identification to anyone. For this purpose, every pharmacy owns of very complete mushroom encyclopedias. I had good results in asking psilocibes IDing, but of course got some weird looks and strong recommendations not to consume them. Nobody called the cops.

All these performance neutering patches, made in the name of 'security' that in certain situations has no value whatsoever, should only be accepted if also conditioned by the "mitigations=" Kernel boot option.

Why not both, should I care?

It would be nice to periodically screen law enforcers (edit: and correctional officers) for psychopathy. Maybe recrutement should actively try to reject those most likely to be authoritarian bullies with power complexes.

Fruits are full of phytochemicals like polyphenols that have shown interesting health effects. Coffee has quite a high polyphenols content too.

It's a counter exemple extremely overused and a bit tongue in cheek but : try to see how long you can go without breathing, then ask yourself the same question again.

Democracy, Human Rights, and then by extension Worker protection & Environmental protection, etc.. are not a sure things occuring naturally from industrialisation and far from a given.

When people fought for societal changes, for instance in France during the Revolution or May 1968, the ruling class did not have a complete control of the means of communication, powerful automated censorship, pervasive facial recognition, a dystopian social credit system, etc...

We all do : Google Earth. Is there still a point to 2D maps?

I respectfully disagree, bread is best enjoyed "pas trop cuit"

The constant mischaracterization of what he really meant, by reposting the same misquotes of his emails, was really shameful for a lot of 'journalists'.

Shaming people's natural body odor shouldn't be the norm. It's quite distasteful and intolerant in fact (even sometimes a clear sign of racism). If someone gets offended by someone's BO, I would suggest them to reevaluate themselves as a human being and try to be tolerant of other's human nature.

I shower irregularly, when needed. Obviously more after a special sweat inducing effort or getting dirty outdoor. I don't stink, I smell human.

I find it offensive that someone would be so insensitive to have the nerve to express a displeasure at my natural body odor, when most often than not they would be the ones flouting a strong headache inducing chemical deodorant and/or perfume smell.

Living in a diverse society doesn't mean that everybody should be as bland as possible, but instead that efforts have to be made to be tolerant of others as they are.

So F* your teacher, shame on them

Psilocybin content varies strongly from species to species. More problematically, it can also vary a lot in individual mushrooms in the same batch.

I would say that the best bet at consistency is to grind your whole batch to average the potency, then try a small dose to get a feel of your particular batch before proceeding.

-> Why? To prevent glorification of the ideology.

But I was factually wrong ; It is not illegal to sell them, at least in the countries I had in mind (France & Germany).

However in France it is forbidden to exhibit them. So in order to be sold they must only be described but not shown.

Yahoo & eBay do ban the sell of such items, notably since being sued for that.

In fact, in many countries it's illegal to sell Nazi memorabilia. Good if you ask me.

App store are good, not argument. The inability of side loading beside the store is what is being critisized.

Softwares can auto update and hide the process to the user without the need for a store.

Hopefully the people following the article's advice will never have to write about any scientific or technical topic.

Beside, it is interesting that as an example of bad Latin origin word the author chose "fulfillment".

If the author's point is in fact "do not use long words that make my head hurt", he should keep it simple and let it at that, instead of bringing etymology up.

If it is possible, by a simple intellectual process, to make the choice to renounce religion, it can then not possibly be integral or essential to your identity. That's completely antinomic. You either don't understand those words (and funnily accuses me of misusing English), or are being dishonest.

But I realized you're most likely just a troll. My bad.

Chances are, you're even just a secondary account of jedimind, seeing how you apparently have a habit of intervening at his rescue on other discussions, use the same pattern of purposefully missing the point, name calling and parroting the person you are responding to instead of being relevant.

It is telling though to see how you kept avoiding the concept that by apostasy I was referring to the honest personal choice of people renouncing their religion for intellectual honesty (someday they believe then, maybe after self debating the absurdity of the idea, they don't anymore), but you kept insisting instead that it must be because someone or something forces them to. It really shows how narrow minded you must be.

Keep to your fascist trolling if that pleases you, your moral values are not on the right side of history.

Blasphemy laws and similar barbaric values have been successfully fought and repealed in France (that you seem to despise so much) and other countries, they will eventually be everywhere else too.

You are the one pretending not to understand English.

The fact that apostasy is possible and exists, in France or elsewhere, is precisely the proof that religion is not 'essential' (to use your own prefered word) to a person's identity. I'll let you look up what "essential" means, it's perfect in this context.

That makes religion far more similar to musical taste (ever heard of Rock'n Roll as a way of life?) than to ethnicity.

By the way, accusing people who criticise the barbary of blasphemy & anti-apostasy laws of islamophobia is a cheap move but quite typical.
