I guess it depends on how much faith you have in empirical evidence, then?

Idk at least the scientific method includes some kind of testing process that religion just doesn’t

My ancient deviantart from like '05 still exists, its now a time capsule into 11 year old me’s psyche

Yes, correction noted

Amen!

Doesn’t work when people don’t get to choose not to take it when it gets too expensive! That thing that capitalists always forget about: necessities.

It totally is but it’s so engaging! I had trouble paying attention to things like Mad God, but Altered States drew me right in.

That does sound great, may be time for a sleepover viewing with the friends methinks, with some pipe weed

I watched Altered States for the first time a few years ago and that one got me more than most modern sci fi. It’s a masterpiece imo.

It’s honestly one of my favourite marathons to do on a cold winter weekend, excited for my annual viewing :)

Not when I’m stoned!

Thank you!! I had a really great artist!

There are far more moderate views on here that keep it from being an echo chamber that we don’t need to include nazis

I think its reasonable for me and those i care about to not want to be pressured to debate the morality of our existence in every space, and that is exactly what they want to debate, and for them it’s fun because it does not affect them, but for us it just means another fuckin place that is not safe. It’s not easy to ignore them, and they make sure of that, and tolerating them just enables them to take over spaces.

There are enough liberals (read: centrists) in here that this is a controversial discussion, thats reason enough for me to believe defederating won’t cause this to be an echo chamber.

I wasn’t gonna comment but for sake of diversity I feel you deserve at least one good one. I’m actually quite close with one of my exes from 13 years ago. We dated when I was graduating highschool he broke up with me (very respectfully. He basically just told me I deserved someone who liked me as much as I like them, and he was right).

Anyway, he and I didn’t really hang out much or talk much for a while but we were in the same community and would see each other at metal shows all the time and weren’t unfriendly but would just kind of live our own lives. Once my ego healed a bit from being dumped we did hook up a couple times. Then some time passed and I met my partner of now over a decade. Anyway, me and the ex still chat, he’s met my partner and they get along very well. My ex is a genuinely kind and funny guy and I would be a reference for him any day and I consider him more my friend than my ex at this point.

I really do think time apart is important because they need to become not a constant fixture in your life before you can repair the relationship to “friend” level.

Ok yeah I can see now, thanks!
