It’s showing that people are more willing to accept misinformation when they don’t have personal experience.

If it’s voluntary it’s not slave labor.

“I’m going to make it so people can go, if you’re convicted of a drug offense, or if you have a drug problem, you can go to one of these places for free.”

Honestly if people can find happiness by getting away from modern society and living a bucolic lifestyle, I’m all for it.

Instead of coming up with labels just ask the demons what they want to be called.

As I’ve gotten older I’m WAY less interested in the violence of the Pokémon world. Games like Pokémon Cafe Remix are much more appealing to me.

I’ve never been diagnosed with PLMD, but it’s something I’ve experienced. My symptoms seem to be tied to stress. Managing my stress more effectively seems to help quite a bit.

Idol: an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship.

I agree that they probably weren’t intended to be idols, but pictures of Jesus, Mary, the cross, etc are just objects of worship.

Jesus’s message of universal love goes beyond the Christian religion, which feels like it only exists to promote itself instead of the values that Christ promoted.

If Jesus were alive today I doubt he would care about the destruction of religious symbols. He’d probably say something like “Why are you concerned with a symbol when you have brothers and sisters who need help? If you really want to exalt God, go out and do His work.”

Like, if people truly believe God is the alpha and omega do they really think they need to get offended on his behalf?

Christianity has done a great job of putting God in a tiny box called “religion” and taking away all his power to the point where dinosaurs, evolution, and science are able to shake their faith.

God/love/the universe is nonsense, and we get to spend our whole lives trying to figure that nonsense out.

I’m pretty sure Jesus was opposed to the idea of nations, geopolitical boundaries, and political authority in general. So idk if he’d accept a title like “president”.

Fuck that’s depressing, but at the same time I think making a better world for people is something worth dedicating your life to.

What’s cool is we don’t even have to wait for the collapse, we can start working towards the greater good today!

Yeah that sounds cool af

I’m glad I got the opportunity to leverage my skills and knowledge in order to drive customer engagement and deliver wins as a team.

I don’t think the audience Vance’s message is supposed to resonate with cares about being fact-checked, or facts in general.

Trump doesn’t care if he’s being fact-checked because facts don’t matter to him, and his voters have the same outlook.

“Just according to Keikaku” God

There are multiple housing problems and they’re all probably way more complicated than anyone wants to acknowledge. The highest priority “housing problem” right now imo is that there are people who don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.

In order to solve that problem you need

1. Safe housing to provide to those people
2. A system for assigning those people to the housing.

Building/acquiring housing costs money. If the government isn’t doing its job and spending money to solve this problem we need to

1. Hold them accountable through voting
2. Take matters into our own hands as a community and attempt to contribute to a local solution in whatever capacity we’re able to contribute (donations, volunteering, organizing). Once we have legitimate trustworthy organizations that are doing a good job solving the problem then we can hopefully proceed by driving more support for them.

Creating a system to assign individuals to housing is probably the more “difficult” part because there needs to be some sort of consensus on the mechanics of prioritization. I personally think we should prioritize housing for individuals and families with children, but after that I don’t know who we should serve next.

Specifically the most acid trippy chapter of the Bible that describes the end of the world.

That’s super cool, I’ve wanted to do something similar like this but never have had the opportunity.

This is what it feels like to grow old.

That makes sense.

Would that also mean if a tree falls in the forest it always makes a sound because there’s always “someone” around to hear it? It sounds like we could say that the air or ground is “observing” the sound waves or impact made by the collision?

“Observe means observed by a conscious being”

Can something without consciousness make an observation?
