Poplar?
Being concious of and being able to critically look at what we are and how we act would be one answer. Sort of like what you did when you made this post :P
The cat outside isnt arguing about ethics, doesnt think about the consequences and decide not to act on some base desire, etc
We may be animals but we sure arent animals.
On bad days I tell him that too.
But I wont lie it gets tiring. The weird stares when I hold him up to my ear, the hydration kit and having to ritually droplet sea-water when I hear a raspy “Hey dude Im getting dry down here.”
I guess I should’ve known before before taking my roommate’s word for a guy he knew after I lost my Casio.
literally this
Author-activist Cory Doctorow does a daily thread on Mastodon (on stuff like tech policy) but because each post doesn’t have much text the threads get long. He also posts it on his blog, but I think Brewchin finds the thread annoying. His account: https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic
I want to add my voice to the others asking for tranfering to a new mod team. You don’t have to kill the community, let people who want it on blahaj.zone keep using it. The worst that can happen is the quality of posts being lower.
On a positive note it wont be the same free expression from Facebook that gave us the Rohingya genocide :)
He was wrong, but Im not sure he had contradictory beliefs.
The only thing that stands out IMO is him being for AfD - but that makes sense if you note that anti-immigration sentiment among ex-muslims when it shows up is actually specifically against muslim immigration, not immigration in general (Im exmuslim and spent a bunch of time in online exmuslim spaces).
He ran a forum to help atheist Saudis seek asylum, and his last tweets were among other things anger at the German failure to help Saudi asylum seekers. Clearly not anti-immigration.
Thanks for sharing! I find what you have is really interesting.
Something I’m very curious about is how your wife is alright with the risk of them not choosing to be Christian and getting an eternity in hell? Is she a Christian universalist?
I think I sort of get where youre coming from. But my relationship with my parents isnt the kind where it matters if they know Im irreligious. It also isnt important enough to me that I would want them to know.
It’s more that I don’t want to ruin my relationship with them than that I rely on them or anything like that.
If I have kids I won’t raise them by a religion or put them through the expected rituals, and my parents will notice that. Which would then force me to come out. So not ruining my relationship with them means not having kids.
I’m glad were not trying to combat dogs
Off to spread 5G 40MHz conspiracy theories.
I’m curious what you work as? Sysadmin?
You can view some profiles (authwall for others) and some show all content (tried it out with bbc and forbes), others drop relatively recent content while some others only show ancient content from a year or more ago.
The latter two were when I tried opening the twitter pages for some smaller podcasts I follow.
Hope you get well
Whats a mark?
