We’re on a forum my friend, there is no spirit here. I’ve made 2 small remarks and you somehow got me and my intent all figured out. Maybe everyone on the planet has heard at the very least the existence of the message. There is no room here to have any form of discussion on what that message can mean. But people are finding God, as adults, the way you’ve said, through intimate dialog and love.

I meant no disrespect. I merely said there’s a cost no matter how you choose, or how life has been laid out before you, and to be at peace is a simple remark for your sarcasm. English is my second language. If this offended you, I apologize. This is lemmy. Hardly a platform to have any meaningful discussion on relationships with a God or religion. Or politics.

It doesn’t seem you believe in much. Be at peace with your natural choices. There will always be a cost

Missing the point of obedience by choice.

They bundle things into bills all the time to make the other side vote on them or look like the bad guy, by using the American citizen as hostage. I wonder why so little bills passed on helping the common man. I’m not taking the Republicans side here but it’s not black and white. Everyone’s reply to the concept of why the Republicans blocked it has been doubt, and it seems the “only” plausible explanation is that they’re all being petty and want to blame democrats for the failed FEMA response.

This infuriates me so much. I am sitting here like a dumbass saying that this storm is worse than Katrina. Like I know I should do research before being confident in what I know but how many small infographics like this do we digest and then regurgitate a political opinion based off of them

I’m not saying she’s right, but the position and circle she’s involved in is not exactly ideal for self reflection or voiced opinion.

I didn’t realize the hardware of an iPhone is superior to hardware of other flagship phones.

Why do you need an iPhone to get a Linux phone?

Pull out a pen. Scribble your stick men. You just did the last supper.

Reddit was full of bots but the people are just savvy enough to make an account. Lemmy’s users are not a general representation of the public, but more of the technical kind. You can probably describe most users just by the most popular posts and interactions here. So…

Male Atheist Liberal In their late 20s but majority in their 30s, with a large amount of trekkies in their 40s for some reason. Pc technical, can use a pc well enough to understand above the basic concepts of the best buy laptop the general public use. Too involved in the world affairs causing rigid pessism of most people who don’t share their views. If you don’t think like us you’re one of “them”.

Oh and anonymous keyboard warriors. Everyone can be a “professional” on a subject if they can dissect a comment someone made and Google any relevant information to refute their arguments. It’s pretty much this that makes them ruder.

That’s not very Christian of them.

Locked up forever sounds a lot like the death penalty.

Yes it literally has the update notes in fdroid saying they updated their browser integration to comply with Google services. It was most likely an abrupt code and compliance issue generated automatically.

My wife has ADHD as well as myself. How often I’m trying to make a point by starting off on points that lead to that point, and she makes the point for me, conducts a counter argument, and wastes 30 seconds of me back pedaling to say that’s not at all what I’m trying to get at.

Quantity of of someone’s opinion doesn’t make it truth. My area is fine. I don’t have hundreds of tiktokers complaining about our community. And if they are, they’re yelling into thin air without any foundational issues.

Take what you see online with a grain of salt. Social media isn’t your source of accurate information. It’s how conspiracies start.

Do you believe unverified platformers and anecdotal scenarios experienced by specific people speaking of a problem as fact and accurate?

If I got on tiktok and spewed nonsensical problems and attributed them to a rat outbreak that may or may not exist, will that become truth? How many viewers will I need for it to become truth?

I mean will it matter? If he loses a little it’ll be “rigged to sway a small amount of votes” if he loses by a lot “it’s so rigged they aren’t even trying to make it look close!”

It’s the point 6 where I think you might be deadly wrong. I hope you’re not. But they’re a lot more prepared this time, with judges in position to create enough scrutiny to question the election results, long enough to cause a lot of people who care get their beliefs reinforced that the country is lost to cheaters, and are ready to do a lot more than Jan 6.

Unfortunately celebrity worship is influence, and influence is the key in elections. No influence, no vote. It is power. And the amount of influential power Taylor swift has is absolutely staggering. I wouldn’t be surprised if her endorsing kamala brings in tens if not hundreds of thousands of voters to register.

They definitely can. It’s been off putting lately that the left has a check list that I have to hit every mark on to not be seen as a right winger.

There are leftist who are Christian. There are leftists who are against abortion, but understand that education and reproductive health (including allowing abortions) is an important and productive way to reduce abortions, instead of bans. There are leftists who are still traditional, holding morals and ethics that aren’t fluid but also not rigid.

No one is truly happy about their political choices. Except for the insane 1/3 of Americans on the Maga train maybe.
