  • There is always a social media propaganda campaign going on. On just about any subject you can think of. Is this really the first time you're noticing? You do know that governments, political parties and corporations employ people whose only job is to study and manipulate social media trends, right? What do you think a social media 'influencer' is?

  • Why are most religious people so easy to manipulate? (serious)

    Jump

  • People with a highly metaphysical worldview are easier to deceive and manipulate because their normal logic barriers have already been broken down - ie, if you already believe that the earth and everything on it was created by an omnipotent superbeing in six days, it's not much of a further leap to believe that demons are making you horny.

  • Sure, at some point we all have to realize that our actions may attract unwanted attention and take appropriate precautions. That being said, no means no. If a lady is obviously uncomfortable by your presence, put on the big boy pants and move on - don't try to argue your case or convince her of anything. Just move on and leave her the hell alone.

  • I've been to a few 'clothing optional' events in my time - and this is how I have successfully navigated those events:

    • Don't talk to a naked woman unless SHE initiates the conversation.
    • Don't make ANY comments about a naked woman's appearance unless SHE comments about yours FIRST.
    • Keep your eyes on a naked woman's FACE.

    Is this stupid and unfair? Yes. Have I ever been asked to leave one of these events, or gotten into any trouble? No. If you can't handle it, don't go to these types of events.

  • Why do we love stories so?

    Jump

  • Stories are medicine.

    It's one healthy way for our brains to process situations, dreams, aspirations, fears and experience. And it works.

  • Linux gaming for a non-technical person?

    Jump

  • I don't think you'll have any trouble with Mint. I've set up senior citizens with Mint desktops and have yet to have any major issues. Contrary to what many people think, a solid Linux distro like Mint really isn't all that hard for a newbie to wrap their head around.

  • Linux gaming for a non-technical person?

    Jump

  • I've been using Linux Mint for the last....eight years? I think? Anyway, it's been great for gaming and if you want a minimum of fussing about, I would just install Steam and use Proton for compatibility. It's by far the easiest and most tinker-free gaming experience for Linux - at least in my experience. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to really research and tinker with any annoying issues. protondb.com has been extremely helpful in checking the compatibility of a certain game for Linux and even offers tips and tricks to make the fussier games work.

  • What would remain for a future species if humans were to vanish tomorrow?

    Jump

  • Very little, if anything, would remain of our civilization in five or six million years. At least I wouldn't think so, aside from what we have floating in outer space. Six million years is an awfully long time, and it's not like our consumer-based society builds things to last...

  • The sheer amount of acronyms used to explain my behavior is beginning to look like the eye-chart at the vision clinic.

    Jump

  • This has not been my experience, unfortunately.

  • How do you mateys and folks deal with the sheer amount of music available out there?

  • Idaho bans ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ classroom signs, calling them ideological

    Jump

  • The world needs more comic/game/costume/sex shops......

  • Idaho bans ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ classroom signs, calling them ideological

    Jump

  • I've visited there exactly once, and you're right - it was crazy. I never went back and never plan to go back unless this backward state comes to it's senses.

  • Idaho bans ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ classroom signs, calling them ideological

    Jump

  • My list of reasons to never visit Idaho just keeps getting longer and longer.

  • What organizations/causes/people/whatever are most worthwhile to donate to?

    Jump

  • ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

  • You make perfect sense, and I'm inclined to agree with you. I think an argument can be made that the internet, for all it's positive aspects, has made our society worse in a lot of ways. I would love to go back, even though I know it's not possible.

  • Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

    Jump

  • I believe someone else used the term 'sealioning'. It fits, in your case. This is why I don't see any point in having a debate with you. Waste your time with someone else.

  • Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

    Jump

  • Never a waste of time to speak truth.

  • Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

    Jump

  • I see no need to do this.

  • Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

    Jump

  • I would argue that morality came before religion or spirituality, and therefore does not require either of them to exist.
