Right-Wing Christians Must Indoctrinate Other People’s Children Into a Biblical Worldview, Says FRC’s George Barna | Right Wing Watch in c/usa@lemmy.ml

I think a better way to phrase it is that Jesus is very anit-exploitation of others.

I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say that Jesus is anti-private ownership of the means of production of goods and service. Capitalism can and has been done without it. Unfortunately people are scum and the free market tends to reward those who are able to successfully exploit others.

Unfortunately it's the platform a significant portion of our friends and family are using that we don't see on a regular basis, and if we want to be able to easily share our lives with them without resorting to long-form emails or letters, it's a convenient go-to. At some point I absolutely have it on my to-do list to spin up a Diaspora server of my own, but until then our content would still have to be living on someone else's server, and it becomes kind of an apples-vs-oranges conversation for which one would be better.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback 🙂

This has certainly given me a bit to chew on, so far as being more careful with our children's digital footprint at this stage of life. We do ensure to tick the boxes for "only friends" on the pictures we share, but I am aware that once something is out there it's out there, particularly as who knows what kinds of inner closet demons our friends have that they would never share with us. And just because I'm more of an open book kinda guy and haven't minded at all when my own mom has shared old pictures of me as a toddler running around in a diaper, doesn't at all mean my children will feel the same way. I'll be sure to bring this up with my wife sometime sooner rather than later.

Is a toddler wearing a shirt and a diaper inappropriate? (lemmy.world)
 

Over the weekend my wife snapped a few pictures of our 22mo running around splashing in a lake wearing nothing except a shirt and a swim diaper. My wife was quite taken aback when she uploaded the photo to Facebook, and had the picture removed for nudity / inappropriate content. We all rolled our eyes and figured this was just an overtrained AI being an overtrained AI, but it's got me wondering - is this attire getting to the point at this age where it really is inappropriate, and I'm just too fuzzed out from taking care of babies to notice? Curious to hear ya'lls thoughts.

China Imposes Export Curbs on High-Tech Metals Amidst Trade Tensions with the US (readwrite.com)
 

According to a recent announcement, China will be imposing new regulations on the export of gallium and germanium, both of which are metals that are utilized in the production of computer chips and solar cells and are therefore vitally important. This action is seen as an escalation of the trade dispute that the United States and China are currently engaged in, and the trade dispute has been going on for a long time. The restrictions will begin to take effect on August 1, and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has stated that their purpose is to “safeguard national security.” Despite this, the specifics of these limitations have not yet been made available to the public at this time.

Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure to inform you that (lemmy.world)
 

5 months, 27 days old, and out of nowhere she's suddenly letting "Dadadadada"'s loose all over the place! She's not even doing any mamama's yet! I've been on cloud 9 all evening. My wife is utterly devastated.

What are ya'll doing for Father's day? (lemmy.world)
 

This year my wife and I have 2 under 2. We're both pretty fried right now, and other than getting together a bit in the afternoon with some family I don't think we'll be doing much of anything. That's plenty ok with me, but I still like living vicariously through other dad's weekend plans!

I'm pretty positive my parents haven't grout sealed their shower since they bought their house, so it's been at least, oh..... 27 years for them?

I mean, not that I recommend going this long, as now as their dutiful and caring adult child I'll likely be the one taking it upon myself to completely regrout the whole thing, but goes to show how long you could go with things probably being mostly okay.
