No one is living 100% to ideological perfection. It’s a spectrum. Some are a lot closer than others. I’ve definitely met some ascetic non-judgemental types.

I agree with you, but you will get shut down because it hurts the narrative. Those terms will be called “dog whistles” or something stupid like that.

That one is a legit problem.

It’s so you can be labeled Nazi-adjacent so they can punch you without due process.

The concept of cultural appropriation is mostly bullshit. Almost every single behavior and action every person takes is richly informed by multiple cultures, whether it language, clothes, food, or beliefs.

I think the term only makes sense if it’s done in a disrespectful way, e.g. cracking a joke or wearing a sacred ceremonial headress to a frat party.

But otherwise no culture “owns” any behavior or idea.

Because it’s additive?

Sucks on Android tho

So even back in the early 90s when I dabbled in Libertarianism, people had a more nuanced take here, in that shared resources like water and air that crossed land boundaries would be protected by law. For instance you could do a class action lawsuit against the person damaging your air and water. But no one is that nuanced now.

Most “libertarians” are this dumb, but the old school ones at least attribute the problems to uneven regulation rigged in favor of the ruling class, which does jive with my understanding of what is wrong with the financial system. That being said, libertarianism wouldn’t work even if they did get shit straight.

Mattress: something firm like a tatami mat with a thin futon on top. Your lower back and hips will be happy.

Pillow: buckwheat husk filled with a dust cover. Your neck, shoulders, and sinuses will be happy.

There’s a difference between speaking of a category of behavior and being personally named.

Your hobby is building straw men.

I would have to agree 100%. Would be better if you weren’t on here though lol.

Lemmy is run by left wingers

Your definition of atheism is not my experience with pretty much every atheist I’ve ever met. It’s not absense of belief, but belief that God doesn’t exist. There was never anything nuanced about the definition.

Now we can say absense of belief for the sake of discussion, but then it becomes an issue of semantics, as there is overlap with agnosticism. But it doesn’t match my experience at all. Most atheists will call you names for suggesting anything but the idea that the laws of physics are a complete description of reality. Teenage edgelords mainly.

My headcanon is that The Real has a different set of physical laws than our current reality, and humans naturally generate some sort of biomorphic field that can be stored and used to power things. It would explain why Neo was able to stop enemies with his mind there. Another option is that it’s just another layer of the simulation, and the architect did a poor job at writing the narrative.

Agnosticism isn’t a religion. Atheism is. You have to have faith to “know” something doesn’t exist with certainty.

I’m a vegan btw that uses Nix btw

Legendary is the only option

And they don’t stop coming
