I was an atheist for the last 20 years and recently converted to Unitarian Universalist.

I would say that in the west, this characterization tends to be true. But I do think there are honest faith communities acting with good intent. Unfortunately, there are few.

Interesting that the beast is said to have seven heads in Revelation. There’s also 7 Trump Towers with his name on them:

  • Trump Tower, NYC
  • Trump International Hotel and Tower, Chicago
  • Trump Towers, Istanbul
  • Trump International Hotel and Tower, Toronto
  • Trump World Tower, New York
  • Trump Towers, Sunny Isles Beach
  • Trump Tower, Manila

I’m a UU, so I don’t fully subscribe to the Bible as perfect and wholly divine or authoritative. But a bunch of people are wearing red colored Satan hats with a slogan on their forehead while voting for an adulterer, glutton, slothful, raging, envious, greedy, prideful “politician.” This man is so departed from Christ… I don’t get it, besides lies, propaganda, and accelerationism.

Sure, but the individual contribution vs. companies / state-owned organizations is like 70% come from 100 companies / orgs. So the individual percentage is still negligible.

I’m not disagreeing with the math. I’m saying when you want to make changes, you start with the most meaningful funnel. If you have 2 factors contributing to a problem, factor 1 contributes 70%, factor 2 contributes 30%, going after factor 2 seems like a waste of time. 1%s contribute 1000x the amount of the average. Who should be making lifestyle changes here?

The math here is the sort of thing that drives apathy for me to make small incremental changes. If the superrich can dump ~250 avg. emission years over the course of a year, why should I do anything besides lobby against this mode of transport or other large consumers? Maybe it’s a “spirit of the thing,” but changes in my life seem so negligible compared to how ruinous some individuals are acting.

This is quite possibly one of the worst mobile experiences of paginated pages I’ve ever seen. Here’s top 10 to save you time:

  1. Purple Rain
  2. Help (Beatles)
  3. The Harder They Come 
  4. A Hard Day’s Night
  5. Saturday Night Fever
  6. Superfly
  7. Pulp Fiction
  8. The Graduate
  9. American Graffiti
  10. Wild Style

This is also all MOVIES, which is whatever. Mostly Boomer picks—I love Prince & the Beatles, but the author’s bias feels present.

It’s their importance in time and last power. You have your tastes and then we have what they mean external to you. You can choose to not like them and still value their importance to society.

OMG thank you! I have been desperately searching for this for 3 days. I could not find it in google. Holy shit, thank you!

Around 20 mins, near ghost tools.

Yes. There’s this talk and another on melee balancing and Hp inflation specifically. Both are really great talks.
