No one is living 100% to ideological perfection. It’s a spectrum. Some are a lot closer than others. I’ve definitely met some ascetic non-judgemental types.

Because it’s additive?

Sucks on Android tho

So even back in the early 90s when I dabbled in Libertarianism, people had a more nuanced take here, in that shared resources like water and air that crossed land boundaries would be protected by law. For instance you could do a class action lawsuit against the person damaging your air and water. But no one is that nuanced now.

Most “libertarians” are this dumb, but the old school ones at least attribute the problems to uneven regulation rigged in favor of the ruling class, which does jive with my understanding of what is wrong with the financial system. That being said, libertarianism wouldn’t work even if they did get shit straight.

Mattress: something firm like a tatami mat with a thin futon on top. Your lower back and hips will be happy.

Pillow: buckwheat husk filled with a dust cover. Your neck, shoulders, and sinuses will be happy.

There’s a difference between speaking of a category of behavior and being personally named.

Your hobby is building straw men.

I would have to agree 100%. Would be better if you weren’t on here though lol.

Lemmy is run by left wingers

Your definition of atheism is not my experience with pretty much every atheist I’ve ever met. It’s not absense of belief, but belief that God doesn’t exist. There was never anything nuanced about the definition.

Now we can say absense of belief for the sake of discussion, but then it becomes an issue of semantics, as there is overlap with agnosticism. But it doesn’t match my experience at all. Most atheists will call you names for suggesting anything but the idea that the laws of physics are a complete description of reality. Teenage edgelords mainly.

My headcanon is that The Real has a different set of physical laws than our current reality, and humans naturally generate some sort of biomorphic field that can be stored and used to power things. It would explain why Neo was able to stop enemies with his mind there. Another option is that it’s just another layer of the simulation, and the architect did a poor job at writing the narrative.

Agnosticism isn’t a religion. Atheism is. You have to have faith to “know” something doesn’t exist with certainty.

Legendary is the only option

And they don’t stop coming

TL;DR quantitative tightening

Also dumbfucks if this thread is evidence.

Don’t make stupid assumptions about people. I have an advanced degree in physics. “Boundless” was vague and can apply to many things.

Anyone who calls themselves “atheist” is certainly not a skeptic. With the insanity presented to us in this boundless reality, how can anyone say for certain what does and does not exist? Agnosticism seems the more skeptical stance.

This absolutely. Rather than think it strange that you don’t eat cows, you should think it strange that you eat any sentient being at all. If something feels pain and runs away, it’s a strong sign that we should not use and abuse them, especially when our needs can be met without doing so.
