    One could say that’s what the New Testament is, and Jesus put a lot of focus on loving others. The two commandments, which the ten are built upon, is pretty comprehensive. But don’t worry, people will find a way to excuse bad behavior if they really want to do it. If it isn’t religion, it will be nationalism, race, culture, which direction the bill of your cap faces, or if the color of your socks match.

      My cap always faces forward, as designed to be used, to block sunlight from the eyes. But wait, my socks are different lengths and one is lighter than the other?

      Fuck, RUN!!!

        The true heathens are the people with their cap on backwards, shading their eyes from the sun with their hands.

          Eh, not as much as you’d think. The back of your neck near the brainstem is crucial to temperature regulation. That’s why the go-to advice to alleviate heat stress is putting something cool like a wet towel around your neck. During midday when the sun is highest, keeping the sun off the back of your neck may well keep you cooler than keeping it off your face. Using your hands to shield your eyes occasionally looks a heck of a lot less dumb than keeping your hands up to shield the back of your neck.

          Moral of the story, baseball hats are great for watching baseball, where you’re sitting facing one direction the whole time and can orient them accordingly. For general outdoor work, a sun hat with a neck flap is waaayyy better.

          Oof, yeah you got a point there, I’ll never understand that.

          The only time I tilt my cap is to follow and block the sunlight wherever I happen to be sitting. Backwards is never the answer.
