Well are you? I don’t see any proof you’re trying to deny it.

That really clashes with the reality of how truck bros actually park. Or does it…?
Idol: an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship.
I agree that they probably weren’t intended to be idols, but pictures of Jesus, Mary, the cross, etc are just objects of worship.
Jesus’s message of universal love goes beyond the Christian religion, which feels like it only exists to promote itself instead of the values that Christ promoted.
If Jesus were alive today I doubt he would care about the destruction of religious symbols. He’d probably say something like “Why are you concerned with a symbol when you have brothers and sisters who need help? If you really want to exalt God, go out and do His work.”
Like, if people truly believe God is the alpha and omega do they really think they need to get offended on his behalf?
Christianity has done a great job of putting God in a tiny box called “religion” and taking away all his power to the point where dinosaurs, evolution, and science are able to shake their faith.
God/love/the universe is nonsense, and we get to spend our whole lives trying to figure that nonsense out.
I’m pretty sure Jesus was opposed to the idea of nations, geopolitical boundaries, and political authority in general. So idk if he’d accept a title like “president”.
Ah, so that’s what they mean by “the road to hell is paved with good in tensions”
This is what it feels like to grow old.
People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone’s name if they’re being abusive.
Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it’d be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?
I don’t let what other people do ruin my happiness. If I’m happy with the work I’m doing and the amount I’m getting paid then I really don’t care what other people do.
My criticism of effective altruism is that it prioritizes actions that increase hypothetical “future happiness” over actions that could make a positive impact on someone’s life today.
The future is unknown and we can’t control it. I’m not saying we shouldn’t try to do better in the future, but not at the cost of doing badly today.
I think you’re right, but I don’t think most people who use Linux care about whether or not it’s popular. Popularity is almost entirely irrelevant to the philosophy.
Yeah, you’d need to be able to see Fallen Destiny in the background.
Holy crap two fun back and forths leads to a book recommendation, today has been a great day. Thank you!
The curve could definitely be S shaped, but it’s hard to say.
I think that I would be really unhappy/bored in a world where I got to experience “everything” I wanted to do. In fact, just the idea of not having to make any trade offs/compromises is incredibly paralyzing to think about right now lol
If the clones don’t allow me to live forever, eventually dying would be the most interesting thing for me to do because it would be the only “new” thing left to experience in my lifetime.
Being able to clone myself and sync with my clones is something I’ve thought about since I was a kid.
I don’t think increasing the number of clones would ever allow me to satisfy all my wishes. The number of things I want to do increases with the number of experiences I have in a non-linear way. If I want to be satisfied I need to be willing to accept all of my wishes will never be fulfilled.
To answer your question specifically: 0 clones
No. Peace of mind comes from trusting, not from knowing.
Yeah, you don’t have to be gay just to be able to admire art.
