Certainty of consequence is much more important as a deterrent than severity. This is a general truism of human behavior.

Interesting. I do worry about the block/mute/filter culture leading to too much social siloing. As we all retreat into bubbles where we never have to interact with people who disagree with us, we're likely to end up seeing even more polarization and enmity for "the other side".

I just submitted a bug report for it, so I guess I'll just put a pin in this one and come back in a few days and see if anyone has fixed it.

So strange that when I click it, it prompts me to join BlueSky instead of adding people. I had this issue with another starter pack. I wonder if it has to do with different international versions of BlueSky.

Now that I know more about the Bible, it's amazing to me how many common idioms, sayings, and classical literary references come from it. It's difficult to fully understand the society we live in without that knowledge.
FYI I'm still not even remotely Christian and I still believe this.
