So's the 👌hand sign, I suppose I'm going to get dogpiled for that too?

Look outside, (big ask for this website), we're literally in hard times made by weak men.

I swear, this site is worse than 4chan about groupthink. Someone uses a slightly weak example or a cancelled idiom and all your minds just shut off and you start parroting your self selected propaganda.

She's willing to dishonor the memory of her son by blaming all foreigners for her son's death.

Human nature. We need living people to tell us what happened the last time something happened society-wide, else we forget and repeat the same mistakes. It's the whole hard times make strong men thing. It's on about an 80 year cycle. The good news is that we're right at the point in the cycle where real changes are easy to make.

Read the book The Fourth Turning for many examples of the pattern repeating.

I don't know about that specifically, but he believes in simulation theory and thinks he's the only human playing, and therefore the main character.

It's "We" because "you" aren't the subject of the article, it's "We (the People)."

And you don't think America is an empire? That's a wild take on this site, most people treat that as a given.

the audio effects on casting spells actually helped my enjoyment a lot

Eldritch Blast really earned its name, I love the way the spell sounds in that game

I finished The Kingdom of God is Within You, I really enjoyed it. The book aligned with many of my prior beliefs about Christianity and the Church, which was very validating. I appreciated the insight into the state of eighteenth century Russia, which I never want to visit. And lastly it made me deeply consider how much my current job makes me a party to violence. You're right about it potentially making someone an anarchist.

Thank you again for mentioning it.

For example, a friend of mine ran a study that disproved a company's study that they used to push a product. Then my friend's company got blacklisted by the first company for all future products.

I'm adding that to my reading list, thanks.

They're offering a second round of paid-leave-to-quit at the IRS, and a lot more employees are going to take it this time around. There's not going to be many left.

You have fun charging your phone, I'm charging the capacitors I embedded into my knuckles.

I feel like there's a term for that sort of thinking...

Weird, mine didn't.

I thought you were talking about the Adam Sander movie Spaceman

That'd be why I'd sign up

Well the Chinese version on Prime doesn't have any English subtitles so I guess it depends on if you can speak Mandarin

So can meditation, if you are good enough and go deep enough. I've heard stories of Buddhist monks that think LSD is weak stuff.

All killing is murder, states are just gangs big enough to have a PR team and the ability to indoctrinate the youth into following their rules.

Good on South Carolina for making that more plain.

I have a copy of that book gathering dust, thanks for the motivation to continue
