isn’t a ‘higher power’ just kicking the can down the road?

personally, i don’t get, like, at all. i don’t care what nonsense folk put their faith in, so long as they don’t use it to justify being a dick, or try to justify others being a dick. maybe they get some pity/sympathy from me, to a point, cause they probably got brainwashed when they were a child, or otherwise in a vulnerable state, and maybe some amusement depending on how ‘out there’ their counterfactual beliefs are.

i generally get on well enough with my religious friends, but it’s not a topic that comes up much in real life.

i don’t usually care for organized religion, but that has more to do with my anarchism than my atheism.

this all goes equally whether we’re talking about conventional religions, modern conspiracy theories, new-age mumbo jumbo, or what-have-you.

judging from the weird void on july 4th, i am guessing it is based on data from the US. probably based on census records.

that’s a good point! nobody wants to do labor of either kind on xmas.

here’s a chart!

what’s fascinating to me about this is how people are clearly using medical science to avoid giving birth on certain holidays.

i don’t think i’ve ever seen or heard tell of in legends or song, a wikipedia entry that has a simple english page, but no regular english page.

imagine if they had waited to invent lemmy until after reddit had shat the bed with the whole API fiasco. it’s better to have a backup ready to go.

here ya go!

but by that point, whoever the inheritors of the account were have probably been paying money and adding new games to it for decades. why would valve destroy their relationship with that customer just because they might still technically have access to some hundred year old games that either don’t even run on modern systems, or might even be public domain by that point?

*sigh* what’s BOFA?

all ya’ll admitting to ironing your clothes in the comments are a bunch of dweebs, just saying.

i definitely watched it when i was a youngun, but i’m always surprised to hear it’s still running tbh

words do area-of-effect damage, friend.

if you use the r-slur around me, even if its not directed at me, it hurts, and it makes me feel less safe with you, because of the way that word has been used to specifically target me for hatred based on my neurotype. plus there’s the fact that you acknowledge it to be a mean word for disabled people, and if you’re using it as a weapon against non-disabled people, you’re really saying ‘haha, you’re like those disabled people, and that’s terrible.’ i hope you can see how this probably doesn’t feel so good to a lot of us?

well, whether by bow or by vat of acid, i’d probably choose to spare my friend over some random celebrity. though i’d naturally rather not kill either of them.

is this like a joker dilemma where they’re both dangling over vats of acid and i only have time to save one?

is this new on iphone? as far as i knew, that’s been a thing for most videos for ages on android, excepting only most music videos.

probably ant man, as well as any film that prominantly features ant man as a character. the sci-fi nonsense justification of his powers is just way too stupid for me, and it taints everything it touches.

Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do

gosh i wish that were more true. given the equal representation of states in the senate, and the subsequent higher weighting of low-population states in the electoral college, the vote of a californian is worth a lot less than the vote of a wyomingian. and someone in washington D.C. has even less say. it’s a pretty fucked up pseudo-democracy, tbh.

T2 is definitely the best terminator film, but you’re missing out if you discount all the sequels. Dark Fate at least is pretty darn good, and it’s basically a direct sequel to T2, so you don’t have to watch all the films in between.

i like my laptop cause i already have it, and have gotten to know it quite well over the past 16 years, but i wouldn’t recommend it. it would be nice to have more than 4gb of memory these days, cause i can’t have too many tabs open on firefox without it bogging down.
