you know what, I wouldn't mind a space like that for general healthcare workers or people in the helping professions. I'm in behavioral health but it's gonna take ages to get that kind of community here. might have to band together under a bigger umbrella. at least we all kinda know what DC d/t NC Bx in f/u UDS means

finally someone on social media who looks like me 😊😊😊

maybe they want to explore and reinforce their beliefs... why discourage exploration?

I wonder why you got so many downvotes. Maybe they only read the first half of the first sentence lol

oh god, they think eastern philosophy is the same as religion dont they 😭

ugh how could you recommend Kant 😴

One that comes to mind is "Religion for Atheists". It is a great book that highlights the non-spiritual functions of religion in society. The idea is by identifying what function you got out of religion in the past, you may find ways to replace it without getting involved in the collective delusion of pretending to know the unknowable.

If you're stepping away from the god of Abraham, you could always read Nietzsche's "The Antichrist" but i dont really recommend most people read Nietzsche without some solid footing in philosophy and some helpful context, since he can lead people to some straight up Nazi shit which he elsewhere explicitly warned against. Context important with him. But it's a scathing criticism of the role of dogma in society.

If you feel a need for a spiritual drink without relapsing on god, I recommend exploring the Dao De Jing. It's another one that benefits from context, rereading, and meditation, but it can explain the world quite nicely without need of an invested anthropomorphic god.

Finally, you might want to pick up some existentialist literature if you feel like life has no meaning and you're lost. Sartre or Frankl come to mind.

Meat chickens are totally different from egg chickens. The meat ones are born to die and don't live nearly as long, so the virus hasn't affected the population as much.

the only way the cult of personality is changing is if they start putting Thorazine in the drinking water

sleeper agent training

lol well done. the clinical language makes these very mundane skills seem mystical. Hypnagogic AH!

a minor setback?

I DONT CARE

but i care enough to tell you to not post this crap

and that everyone who cares about what video game the fascist prince is playing also needs to touch grass

Sorry but the language here alienates those who cannot have kids. you can speak for youself just fine but the response as stated was gross. ugh you're gonna fuckin reply to me again aren't you. i really dont want to continue with this discussion, please, as a personal favor

lemmy needs a fucking disable inbox replies option. i dont want to block anyone and i feel the need to point out this perspective but i really hate getting msgs like these on this particular subject days later

lol it's old but it's still a thoughtful reply thank you

something like 95% of calicos are female

color in felines is expressed on the X chromosome. humans with XX have the same kinds of patterns on their skin from combinations each parent's DNA, but skin color isn't expressed there so it isn't visible

gendered languages are something else yea

fuck off with that dehumanizing shit. you can write off dissonant perspectives with whatever rationalization you want but dont call me a bot. all i said was "we shouldn't get our facts from social media comments" especially when the only challenge is "that's dumb". and you think that sounds like some inflammatory bot out there slowing convos and sowing skepticism? on a tiny platform? are you kidding me

take your condescending faux advice and weaponized politeness elsewhere. apology is also welcome if you prefer

antinatalism is gross but I don't think the highest aspiration is parenthood

Unpopular Opinion: Kids are great? get off the stage
