On most days, the piece of paper is just that; paper. But if you need medication, psychological counseling, or an accommodation for work or school, that piece of paper can be quite useful. On average, I feel like it is better to have it and not need it, rather than to need it and not have it.

I have a wifi switch on a freestanding lamp in my bedroom that comes on every day at 7 am and stays on until I turn it off at night. I have found it really helps to wake me up in the morning without needing to use noisy alarms.
I also have a dog and if I don't get up right away, he sees the light and starts pestering me to take him outside.
Universal healthcare would reduce car insurance premiums significantly and could eliminate the need for health insurance.
Someone forgot to remove the protective film.
To me, this sounds like he is admitting that he hired the guy who shot at him. Every accusation he makes is a confession.
Check out "Reign of Fire." (2002)
Christian Bale and a very bald Mathew McConnahey.
Push back in the same way.
Answer her questions about your lack of belief with your own questions. Ask her why she believes?
What makes her feel like her religion is correct?
What about Christianity is more right than other religions?
Does she think that she would still be Christian if she was born in India or China instead of here? If so, why?
Has she ever read, or considered reading, about Islam or Buddhism or any other religion that isn't based on Christianity?
I doubt you will hear from her much after that. If you do, she will likely ease up on the religious stuff.
My stance is not anti-Semitic, it is humanistic. I am against any government that insists on murdering and/or marginalizing any group of people. I would boycott my own government right now if I could. My government sucks! China sucks! Israel sucks!
It's not about identity, it's about decency. Stop killing other people!
I feel like the real reason for the social media ban is to establish some kind of digital ID program and requiring that ID for everything a person does online. That makes it possible to curate not only where you can go online, but what you see when you get there. It is being sold as a way to "protect the children" but the reality is the children are the target audience. Children don't have many preconceived notions about privacy, so violating their privacy will be so much easier.
Remember, in just a few years these "children" will be adults and any changes made for them today will eventually become the normal for everyone.

Hunger is not caused by people not finishing what is on their plate or by allowing over-ripe fruits and vegetables to be discarded.
Hunger is caused by our profit based food distribution system.
People with little or no money get little or no food. It sucks, but that is how it works.
Unless you can somehow take the profit away from the final destination so that anyone who wants food can have food, that will not change. I can't even imagine a way to do it in an equitable fashion without a cultural shift away from money and towards having a healthy community that cares about the individual humans and is willing to share equally to do it.
