I bike (more carrying capacity) about 9km each direction. (Belgium to Germany, funnily enough.) That being said, not wanting to do so under the burning sun is absolutely valid.

Which is not true, hence my comment.

That's a good faith interpretation, but I've never seen a comment like this that isn't whining "but what about men".

The comment is saying: "oh, so we are pointing out that sending people to places like these is bad when it's happening to women, but not when it's happening to men", which is whataboutism, derailment, and a misreading of the article.

Said who, besides you?

No, sending men there is not OK; but yes, sending pregnant people and children there is indeed even worse than sending men and women in good health there.

Glad to have cleared that up for you! As soon as you've worked on your reading comprehension, I recommend looking up the term "straw-man argument".

Cheers. Sounds great. That Mezcal is fantastic.

Thank you. Videos about comparing Linux distros for gaming are clickbait at best, but are ususally an admission that the videomaker doesn't know what they're talking about at all.

Either your argument is that morality is somehow "god given" through religion, in which case I have to ask, which god? Which religion? There's a lot of those around or no longer around, with different nuances of morality, contradicting that idea.

Or each civilization developed religion and incorporated their respectove ideas about morality, but then morality necessarily precedes religiosity.

Either way, doesn't make sense.

Besides, the idea that a fear of god is necessary to make people "moral" is ridiculous. If you would commit immoral atrocities if you didn't believe in god, then I'm sorry, that makes you a bad person; but don't project that unto other people.

Empathy is sufficient for morality, while god, arguably, is an amoral monster.

Cheers, a moral atheist

Think about it like this:

  • with ansible, you are responsible for making sure that executing the described steps in the described order leads to the desired result

  • with nix, you describe what you want your system to look like, and then figuring out how to get there is nix's problem (or rather, is obvious to nix thanks to nixpkgs)

Better open a package request (or pull request :D) then 😄
