  • Just curious, has everyone caught up yet? As in, have we realized and internalized that religious people don’t believe in god or heaven or anything like that?

    Because just look at at-risk individuals and think about how certain contexts can shape numerous people.

    Look at trauma and how it affects the psyche.

    Look at how humans living in extraordinary environments radically change their behavior.

    And then notice how you can’t detect any “god” or “afterlife” in a Christians psyche, or their behavior, or their flock. Just people acting similarly to everyone else, except we don’t pretend to have “the answer to life is god” and “being bad means burning in hell for infinity.” It’s so god damn obvious but to be fair it took around 30 years for me to “grok” that Christians are operating entirely on aesthetics.



  • I can barely run steam and the games I bought on steam at the same time, which is required for most games. Steam disabled certain features and bloated the software – their launcher takes more resources than actual games. AAA games. (From a decade ago, but still.)

    Other launchers might be garbage but the bar seems to be pretty low. Only thing anyone can say is “get a better computer” because in their mind that is a great rebuttal to “why is a game tied to a launcher which takes up 4x as many resources as my entire OS?”

    By the end of the article they’ve framed much of this as being pro-Hamas / anti-Israel when a collaborative encyclopedia was seemingly worried about appearing neutral.

    There’s enough there to have a good argument about sources and consistent wording but the article keeps highlighting people who think it’s purely political and even that people probably didn’t read the issue, they just wanted to be pro or anti Israel.

    There’s still a lot of people who call this a genocide because they feel / think it’s a genocide, not because they’re on a side. Having consistent wording is important because you should be able to speak the truth and still feel whatever you felt… it’s not about hating Israel. I guess the beginning of the article sort of captures that mindset.
