I was arguing about religion on the Internet and spending 80+ hours a week playing MMOs.

Workaholics are toxic. Not having time to meet your life partner means you’re not trying.

Nice! It’s always fun to get a good passive setup running

It isn’t hard exactly, you get a feel for synergies and they usually happen organically. Sometimes something triggers that you weren’t even expecting and next thing you know you have 1,000 attack with 200 multi strike.

In that same category, Merge Maestro. Very fun and addictive game where no two runs go the same way.

Edit: Free to try, full game is a single $2 purchase.

You can stretch the ketchup at the end if you add a bit of water.

To be fair, 100k 40 years from now will have the spending power of about 50k. The real power is in continuing to save as it compounds.

“Yeah, but look at America!”

The people with the most power and force are sociopathic though. So we can all be as empathetic as is reasonable, but a relatively small group of well armed people will take everything.

Anarchy and Libertarianism are the wishful thinking of the left and right. People may on average be good, but large enough groups never are.

Cute. Who protects the property? Mutual Aid sounds nice on paper. The truth of human nature is that the strong will take anything you work to build.

Zero government. No rules. Take it with force. Of course we’re aware of what y’all think. You’re the libertarians of the left.

I was drunk and in a good mood and a guy asked for $10 to take the bus or something, so I handed him a $20 and said I hope he had a nice evening. Should have been the end of it, right? Nope. “Oh man, if you have $20 more the Lord will bless you and I can get a bus pass and eat. My sister is dying and I need to visit her often and I’m on the streets right now.” Stuff like that for like 3 blocks of following me.

Bro… I. Don’t. Believe. You. Like, literally, it’s probably all bullshit and I knew the first $20 was going to buy booze or drugs. Don’t fucking try to shake me down for more.

Roomba Roomba Roomba, let me be your Roomba.

Another site tried to do that years ago, Voat, and like your story, died as a free speech absolutist Nazi hell hole.

I know a friend who ran out of gas while listening to the audio book, lol. If that’s not a testament to it’s quality, I don’t know what is.

I went to Bible camp my entire childhood, can count the numbers of Sundays missed on a single hand my first 18 years of life, was a born again Christian, and a chaplain’s assistant in the Army. If you want to measure bone fides.

If you claim to be “Christian” why wear a label that shows you’re part of the problem?

So you’re cool with gays? Neat. Understand evolution? Awesome. Accept that vaccines actually work? Good for you. Hell, you might even understand women are not walking incubators. You’ve met the bare fucking minimum for being considered literate.

I’m going to finish with a statement and a question. There is no heaven, when you die, you’re dead. What is your heaven?

You think only 40% of Christians are against teaching evolution?? You’re an admitted Christian on Lemmy acting smug? Lol.

Whatever man, eat a duck, enjoy your paradise, and keep pretending you’re a good person. I’ll let the immigrant family you just deported know about your good vibes.

Sorry, you said 40%, but that’s about 60% of people who actually show up to vote. 40% of eligible voters stay home and cry about our unfair election system in the U.S . While feeling smug about letting unchecked fascism take over as a consequence.

I honestly don’t consider the sea of noise over there “social” media. So I never even think to go over to it. Like others, if an answer to a question happens to be on Reddit, I’ll read that while signed out.

It’s so painful to look at anymore, lol.
