The UDHR is simply a declaration, i.e. "everyone SHOULD have these and we SHOULD work towards making sure everyone have these", but it's not legally enforceable - it's not a treaty or anything like that.

But of course, he will spin this as "fostering peace" with China and Russia, because presidents who don't simply Art of the Deal their way out of wars (read: selling off countries that aren't theirs) are losers. The whole "oh no we're in a war now" thing will be studiously avoided until the next election, or at least the US getting involved in such a war, because then it's some other sucker's problem.

Unironically, they absolutely do. Children are the punishment for having sex out of wedlock, and not only must the woman suffer for having this child, but the child must suffer because they're the product of sin.

I knew a number of people at my old church who ABSOLUTELY thought this way.

And at the end of the day, if you have separated it but you're STILL not sure, throw it out. Not having mushrooms is preferable to being a corpse.

Most plants that we eat are excellent at taking up heavy metals too - potatoes and herbs especially.

Ahhh, but if you read the article, this is different. This redefines it to "if you PERCEIVE there to be a threat of death or injury" - meaning that any suburban cowboy can just blast the bear wandering through their backyard and not hurting anyone because "well I figured it would hurt my kids if it came towards the house". Kinda like how Wyoming relaxed hunting laws to allow farmers to kill pretty much whatever wolves they came across.

Honestly, same here. I despise what they enabled, and continue to enable. I also despise that they're facing homelessness and serious healthcare issues because nobody should have to face that, regardless of how repugnant I might find their beliefs and actions. I honestly hope that they manage to get out from under this and continue to live long, healthy, and happy lives, because I believe that everyone SHOULD have these things.

The name refers to "move on before sundown" - as in, if you're a minority and caught there after sundown, you'd be beaten or killed or both.

Their home version of Spokesman is great.

Did Star Trek ever do one?

Mhm, society persists even through collapse scenarios mostly for exactly this reason. John the Butcher in 13th century Scotland might have lost his entire village to The Plague, but those guys in the village 3 miles down the road still have people who know how to forage, or hunt, or grow food, etc etc etc.
