Maybe not real for you, but from my perspective it’s believable. I myself are a blue collar working 6 days a week and with paid of the lower income group, still get the time to date someone for two years few years back. Sure, it doesn’t worked out, but it happened. I can see the same with other blue collar i know.

Also, i feels like the problem here is you focus on how they looks rather than focused on who they are. Rocky is a debt collector that’s friend with Paulie, and Adrian work as a store keeper for a pet shop. Not sure how’s that “idealised” working class.

Idk, the romance in Rocky is believable. Not a romcom, i know, but it’s romance. The creative bankrupt is really the issue with writers these day.

Handheld sewing machine. Not sure if all are like this or just the cheapo one i bought, it can’t sew anything thick else it will get stuck often and can’t make the loop. End up shelving it and never use it since then.

Yeah, seeing RDJ on other role is so weird after being so recognisable as Ironman. It’s no wonder he wanna end the role to break off from typecasted, ironically at the time where MCU is at its peak.

Also what’s that manga? Seems interesting 👀

Feels like the issue is to not cover the actor’s face because that’s where the perceived value are. Drawn media doesn’t have that issue, so they can do it in a creative way.

Wearing shoes inside the house even when they are about to go to sleep.

As an asian that will be scolded if i ever do that, it weird me out and it does left an impression that westerner wear their shoes inside their house.

Bwoop-bwoop pew pew but they button mash like hack and slash

I mean, if it’s methane but using another process to create it, it’s still methane, a very potent greenhouse gas, that’s so far hard to regulate and very easily leak unnoticed. It’s “better” than obtaining from oil, but still, it’s methane.

[insert methane is methane meme here]

Just Methane will do, fossil methane implies there’s a better methane out there

It’s actually safe for the driver but unsafe for everyone else. Flip easier than sedan though.

That’s extraction beam from alien craft, they’re stealing beer

It would be a shame if another website pop up and uploaded these removed book to it and call it, idk, Internet Alexandria or something.

No, Islamic COUNTRIES did. They didn’t achieve excellence in science because Islam benefitted science.

No one claiming it is.

They achieved excellence in science compared to Christian countries in large part because their religious authority figures didn’t stand in the way anywhere near as much, not because religion helped.

Not sure how much difference is by changing “Islam” to “Islamic countries”, because the fact still remain that Muslim make scientific discovery and excel in mathematics despite being religious. Again, no one claiming Islam benefitted science.

Not true. They are polar opposites.

You just contradicted your last point. Also science are not religion, how can an apple be polar opposite to orange? One can believe in santa clause and ghost while excel in science. It’s not mutually exclusive.

That’s why scientists are disproportionately atheist and agnostic: the evidence based mode of thinking employed in science doesn’t mix with the superstitious and unquestioningly convinced thinking of religion without some SERIOUS cognitive dissonance.

Science are a broad subject, unless they purposely went and look for god, which they wouldn’t find, there’s like a huge load of subject that doesn’t have anything to do with god. Also your impression of religion is like, wrong lol. There’s more to religion than just praising god.

No. That’s not being human, that’s being brainwashed and/or obedient to authority.

See? Human ARE irrational.

You need statistic to proof socialising more is better than socialising less?

Yes, i do agree on all the thing you said, what i’m saying is it’s not mutually exclusive. Religious people can and will go to religious meetup and all the other non-religious gathering too. I know that because i have some friend that do both. It’s not the case of black and white, this or that, do and don’t.

The issue i have with OP’s question and a lot of atheist is they tend to put religious people as a one dimension entity and think highly of themselves because they “aren’t like that”, that irrationality is what they accuse religious people have. It’s that sort of tribalism that cause a lot of conflict, and i fear tribalism more than i fear religion.

I too don’t like my community centered around religion, but everywhere i look, religion tend to be the biggest community gathering around the world.

What based on what evidence?

Education fails to instil scientific temper in them

Islam used to be the forefront of scientific and mathematical discovery. Believing in god have nothing to do with science or math, it’s superstition, something that cannot be proven or unproven, it’s that irrational thought that make us human.

Like it or not, people who went to prayer house or religious gatherings socialise more than people who stay indoor and only interact with limited amount of people. Assuming there’s no fishy business going on with that particular chapter, they tend to be happier considering the fact human are social animal and the feeling of loneliness due to lack of human to human interaction is the build-in alarm system to warn us against solitude. It’s this reason religion is so success because it’s enforce togetherness and make you feels like you’re part of something.

If we’re going into a utopian world where human doesn’t need to work anymore and social security is guaranteed, religious will be something even bigger than today.

Edit: forgot to mentioned, am atheist and give no shit to skyman, but somehow on the internet atheist can’t have opinion that’s not shitting on people with faith.
