Those are whiskey miles, hard ones by the looks of it.
Yeah, the culture in this case is a glacier. The cultural shift is going to leave gouges in the earth.
How is he still alive?! Does he have Harkonnen orbs full of spare livers following him around?
This ad is literally the perfect opposite of their famous Think different ad:
We have an actual gigantic, unfeeling machine, literally crushing an effigy of the sum total of human creativity, only to proudly declare that everyone now needs to do all those things in the same, apple-approved way.
And the real irony is that's the actual message they're trying to get across.
You've succinctly defined the problem, and the only solution is a cultural shift away from the norm. Hopefully that shift will be peaceful, which will most likely only happen if it's gradual.

Lemmy's bigger than ever, and that's a direct consequence of reddit's enshittification, so there's that at least.

Very true. Sadly, probably not something they'll budge on any time soon, but then again it's a volunteer organization, so maybe there's hope.
I can't argue with that, but I'd have no qualms about "lying" about a ''make believe'' thing anyway. Tons of kids get their religious award and then never step foot in a church again. It would be very nice if kids could be honest about it though, even just picking a religion to earn the reward for as an academic exercise should be allowed I think learning about how much of a part religion can play in people's lives, how it affects their judgement, is a good thing for a person to learn about, and perhaps that's the final test. Respecting the requirement for the sake of the ceremony maybe. Even a (respectful) atheist would take their hat off in a place of worship if asked to.
Conceptually, the nihilists are right! Nothing does matter.
