Lol exactly

I find more comfort in the real and tangible human experience. Most of us are caring and social creatures if we let ourselves be.

I think that framework encourages people to become compassionate and kind because they know it's all we have.

At its best, religion adds a layer of coping which is not based in any reality. At its worst, it sets people on a path for alienation and seeing themselves and/or others as less than human (depending on the neuroses and likely trauma).

Dealing with no easy answers throughout your life can bring you to many existential questions and even depression at times but, as long as you have the strength/support/self care to keep and adapt your sense of self, you will be stronger for that introspection.

I choose growth.

That's basically where I was going with the joke, anyway. I'm hoping this could be the change they need to reassess their life and join the human race.

And conservative men.

No, their concept of the good guys has always been chainsmoking alcoholic pedo wifebeaters burning peaceful villages and raping and slaughtering innocents. This is definitely on brand.

I agree. I think it was definitely fast paced and at the limit of how many storylines we could handle. In a lot of ways I thought it succeeded at that and was a perfect extension to the first season. I'm pretty jazzed for season 3.

That's kind of how I was. I did go through a root beer kick in my 20s but that was still pretty tame and mostly just like sampling a couple different ones a week. I still have my favorites I'll buy six packs of every couple to few months lol but, for the most part, it's not something I seek out aside from that. I seem to like the less sweet root beers as well, so maybe that's connected.

We can blame the lazier and dumber part on Fox and the Murdochs as well. It's a whole ecosystem of misinformation, dependency, and evil.

Any, really. All if you completely loathe yourself, though:)

Honestly, jellyfin is the way to go, though. At least it's just you hating yourself and not a whole company and ad machine hating you too, like with plex.

I feel like this is a reasonable response. Early childhood is an easier time to regulate sugar intake and definitely developmentally crucial so you don't want any extra unhealthy foods complicating things.

I was raised similarly and have a pretty healthy relationship with sugar today. I just always worried about the kids whose parents freaked out about them having a soda at a birthday party when they were like 8 or something. I understand policing sugar up to maybe grade school, but past that definitely has a negative effect emotionally and can lead to kids bingeing when they're cut loose.

Factory reset and never connect it to the internet.

Edit: That's if you want to keep it a dumb tv. I know there are likely OS alternatives if you want to bother, but I ended up just resetting mine and keeping it connected to my mini-pc.

This is a baby. I love this baby!
