If a sample image is “making some women feel unwelcome in the field” you may be too sensitive for life.

Yes
The problem is religious texts are generally vague and come from cultures hundreds or thousands of years ago. That lets people claim they speak for god or know “the truth” and cherry pick and twist meanings until they get the answer they want. I’ve listened in on bible studies where they pick over the tiniest word and inflate it into a huge story. They’d make all sorts of assumptions about it “This is what they meant!” I’d be thinking “Really? You got all of that out of one word that can be interpreted a number of ways?”
And they get mad at you when you are trying to help.
I’ll say too often interfaces are written for devs and not users.
Approximately 1/3 of all food produced is wasted.
I have a love/hate relationship with phone touch screens. On the one hand it enables us to have controls that would be impossible on a phone, like selecting a point on a map, infinite variety of button controls, etc. On the other hand I can’t tell you how many times I’ve barely brushed the screen by accident and the damn thing is off doing something I didn’t want. “NO! DON’T SHUT OFF THE APP YOU…sigh”
The first time I tried using android auto in a rental car I hated it. The damn thing would disconnect constantly and there was no safe way to restart or reconnect it while driving, I had to pull over somewhere. The car’s screen controlled things like the radio and AC so I had to constantly take my eyes off of the road to adjust anything.
As an IT guy I have a case of “familiarity breeds contempt” when it comes to tech. A lot of it feels unnecessary and overcomplicates things and increases the chance of a failure.
Because if you wear your religion on your sleeve and are highly observant then that means you are conservative and rules focused by nature. People who belong to liberal Christian denominations, like Unitarianism, are rarely heard from because they aren’t vocal by nature.
People who are very religious also want to believe that what they follow is the truth but the very existence of nonbelievers casts doubt on this either consciously or subconsciously. “If my beliefs are self evident then how can so many nonbelievers exist?” So they rationalize this as either thinking of you as a sinner who deliberately refuses to accept the “truth” or a poor lost soul in need of saving. Christianity, and some other faiths, is also missionary minded in nature. They are called upon in the New Testament to “spread the word”. If you want to grow your numbers and/or your income (i.e. Mormon church) then you are aggressive with missionaries and hunting for converts.
People are also very good at rationalizing their views and cherry picking data to force things to fit their emotionally driven beliefs. Look at conspiracy theorists who dismiss anything that contradicts them as “lies” and “propaganda” but their sources are never questioned.

How about Poland in ww2? I’d say they were “the good guys” since they were attacked unprovoked.
But if you’re under the belief that there are good guys in wars, then we can point to basically every war in history.
Fallacious logic. “If case X is true then it must be true in every case.”
Victims have rights too. People have a right to not be victimized by criminals.
Well you benefit from that very same document right here (free speech). The first thing tyrants do is get rid of things like constitutions.
You lose your rights when you go to prison. Murderers shouldn’t have a right to wage laws.
No, that isn’t it
I always price compare regardless of the search results. Mindlessly clicking isn’t a good idea.
People have to do due diligence to check that they are getting the best value. I don’t assume what is presented to me is automatically the best. This suit seems like they expect the seller to promote the best deal without them doing any price comparisons which is ridiculous.
If you thought making this comment was a good idea you might need to get a grip on life.
