If everyone stopped believing in religion (any and all religions), all these religious leaders would lose their power.

Project yourself 20 years into the future. Imagine yourself saying this to present day you. Then act on that advice. Much of these suggestions can apply to anyone at almost any age.

That’s a crazy thing for him to say. The election isn’t just his own little personal competition.

Christian Nationalism at work again.

You don’t need divorce if you never get married. 👍

The ending of SOMA. I sometimes watch it on youtube just to enjoy it again. Note: the ending won’t mean anything to you if you don’t already know the story.

I hope The Freedom From Religion Foundation gets involved with this in a big way.

Yes. You listen to music without knowing anything about who wrote it and you feel something. That feeling has nothing to do with the composer or performer. Now if you find out the composer/performer is a “bad” person, I would recommend not giving them any money that could contribute to them spreading their “bad stuff”. I’d still enjoy the music because your enjoyment isn’t furthering their bad agenda.

Lobbying and lobbyist groups.

The people that want a theocracy want it based on their religion and their interpretation of that religion. This way they can present what they want as what god wants and that gives them complete control over you since you have to obey god.

Any time they talk about not looking back but looking forward ““We’ve got to leave the negativity and the baggage behind”, it means -I’ll forgive them for what they did in hopes the people that come after me will forgive me in the same way.

I have the same problem with Jerboa, yet if I accesses Lemmy through a web page, my account is fine. I installed Eternity on the phone and my Lemmy account has no problems on that app. Another data point that this is probably a Jerboa issue.

Portal (co-op mode) using community made chambers.

The people with money will spend to develop better AI and use that AI to make more money. Thus capitalism will keep growing.

I would consider my life “well-lived” if I die with no regrets.

When marking something to copy and paste. You start marking the text and drag to the right. If you drag too far to the right, your highlighting goes away and everything to the left of where you started becomes highlighted. Why would anybody ever want that behaviour? It is exactly the opposite of what you are trying to do.

When you have a web page with only an input box. You can’t do anything else on that page except input into the box and yet the cursor isn’t automatically placed in the box! You have to put it there first.

I want to be happy.

Let say there is a news story of a horrible event. I will up vote it so people see it and read it to learn. I am not up voting it because I am promoting the horrible event.
