Can you put up a paywall workaround?

Sous vide doesn't even need any fucking smart app certainly not enough to charge monthly... it's the most idiot proof way to cook something to temp.

Less a necessarily bad person, and more an ideologically influenced one, I’d wager.

What does 'bad person' even mean?

he asked rhetorically

With all the respect i can muster, you are the one misunderstanding religion's purpose.

They are not.

If organized religion ever helps humanity at all it is through the good people it inspires to help, the good part of humanity it brings out. The people who focus on that aspect of its tenets would always be good.

But the book(s) and the men who wrote them are as full of power and venom as any other book, and the very idea that one is special by birth is disgusting and small. It is a venal thought shared by the religious and nazis alike.

The cancer is organized religion. There is no bad apple within its core to root, it is itself the problem.

and while the world will never be rid of its mind stifling influence, i will never stop dreaming of the shining day we grow beyond it

Which one is chocolate?

Or its a great chart that works very well at the purpose of hemming in free thought, as the idea of 'diversity' by someone so penned is apparently Choco or vanilla flavored fascism

I also have a theory that a large number of disorders are exacerbated by the stress and anxiety we all feel.

I have a mental illness level that is monumentally higher post-COVID than the before times, so this tracks with me.

Like, i mostly had my add and anxiety whipped thru EOOD and healthier eating habits, kicked booze to the curb.

Now i feel horrible again, like i used to feel back when i was a teenager. Its so much more than i can handle alone. Med'd up with a drug that makes me feel "off". Fighting agoraphobia daily.

Yeah it's not just my chemistry, not anymore. Maybe it never was. My old eyes see clearly now the world we suffer in is actually horseshit.

HULK SMASH CO²!

and still expect $20 a hour

You won't even get me to show up for 20/hr in 2023. If an employee can make that shit pay work for them the business owner should be doing backflips to keep them happy.

My house is filled with my friends 'bad' art because i love her and it makes me happy when i look at it

There isnt.

Ive talked to white nationals, gamer incels, and the most liberal guys and they all like female leads.

Hoo boy. I don't want to seem like I'm tearing you down for having a different opinion, but you understand i can't take a random experience youve had, talking to someone ive never met as evidence you are correct, right?

Your argument here is what's known as an informal fallacy, "anecdotal evidence".

Those people you talked to have opinions, and what they provided you was their opinion. The fact they agree with you doesn't make your position stronger.

Please think on this. if your goal is to debate people with quality arguments then you must.

Games are the newest bugaboo in a long line of media 'boos. Movies, tv shows, books (really). Its extremely tiring to see this same pattern play out
