What?!

I’m sorry Tom, but this is bullocks. The kingdom of Heaven is within you always. It has never been anywhere else. All wisdom comes from the heart. Guidance is control, and faith is just useless belief.

For-profit media will be complicit with oligarchy/fascism/totalitarianism, not because they agree with the ideology, but because it is profitable.

AOC needs to pull Trump’s dick out of Schumer’s ass and cut it off.

Exactly what I thought…

Oh no the fuck it wasn’t…
But did I have to finish it anyway?

Yeah. I did. I kept thinking, what if I quit today, and tomorrow it gets really good😃

What about 10(2)… ?

Yeah, FFX was pretty damn good, but 10(2)?

Boy will the Christians be surprised when they find out they are part of what’s meant by “anti-Christ” in the Bible.

My 2 cents:

It’s a pretty clean fretless. Active pickups, compression with fast attack and slow release, and either amped in a room that has a little room resonance or they put a touch of reverb on it.

The “feel” is just because the guy is a fucking boss!

At the masters level there’s Vodka and ‘shrooms. Gotta trade the cigs for fruit flavored vapes, though.

Yeah. It was going to be great tho. They were in talks with Jesus to be the healer in chief, but sadly the talks broke down and they were left with the sketchy business model.

Thanks. Sorry for causing you trouble. I was just pointing out the absurdity of your claims and assertions. It occurs to me that it’s just as likely you will influence people in the opposite direction from what you desire or intend. So… hamster wheel. It’s not personal for me.

Sounds like a bargain

You aren’t fighting for change, you are enjoying a sport. It’s like running on a hamster wheel. Fun, but that’s all.

Yes, and still here we are doing different terrible things to each other. When it gets bad enough for one group or other they will rise up for change, and then we’ll start over. Of course they should but don’t fool yourself that that’s what you are engaged in. You aren’t struggling for human rights

Social change doesn’t matter and doesn’t work. ‘’meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” The only important change we can make is in ourselves. We can be the change we wish to see, or we can add to the conflict. There is no other way.

Nah, I’m not mad, and the state of the world is proof it doesn’t work. You can’t fight fire with fire. You’re just running in circles. You can mock me for as long as it gives you pleasure.

09.12.2024 01:21 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

Yes, please do. But I wasn’t talking about you or me. I was talking about mockery as “social pressure…” seems to me it gives you pleasure which is its only benefit. Justifying it as social pressure is only a justification for poor behavior.

I don’t think it’s working.

Yes, and trolling is a polemic art😃

09.12.2024 00:44 — 👍 0    🔁 0    💬 1    📌 0

Yes because mockery is psychologically healthy behavior.

Well, we’re back to it must be quite an accomplishment to be as wise and knowledgeable about the universe as you assert you are.

I’m not defending YOUR definition of psychology, certainly. Mysticism and spirituality are about inner psychological change, not external physical change.
The world is rife with psychological disfunction in the scientific age.
Tech has made killing each other easier, though.

Psychology is not “verifiable.”

Yes, people like to feel correct. They fight to the death over it sometimes.

It must be quite the accomplishment to be so wise and knowledgeable about the universe as you assert you are. Does that surety bring you peace?

When the science of psychology has caught up with spiritual wisdom then people will no longer have need of “magic.” As far as I understand the Mormons are a social and political movement, using the trappings of Christianity.

Rituals are designed to put a person into a psychological state which makes available to them the ability to change their own psychologies. Of course, there is a lot of woo out there too. Some need to believe woo to get to the necessary states—like a pre-req in some cases.
No other way to do it yet
