This is certainly interesting as fuck

So you’re a god in a 40,000 person polycule?

And its one sided so they don’t even fuck each other. But this one taken person was the only one you wanted to breed with?

Honestly, pretty convincing god lore

Something about the pseudo mid west gives people some hard opinions about the internet for some reason, but I also met a lot of neighbors on Mastodon lol

My home town celebrates August 8th because that’s when news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Paducah KY.

Two months.

Actually I needed it. Dunno why, but I didn’t realize anything was red.

They also seemed to hold a grudge.

Rome lost a battle to you 100 years ago. They remembered.

I can see how you’d struggle to find youtubers who aren’t sucking Musks toes if you’re watching AI news people and Russell Brand.

But trust me, choosing to simply consume content that isn’t so negative is the quickest way to find rational people.

I personally really like Alex O’Connor right now. He does a lot of engagement with religious and philosophical type people. He’s an atheist who’s just genuinely trying to understand.

Not specifically. I just remember how much Thunderf00t made me an angry atheist for a time and how unpleasant that was mentally.

Looks like he’s on a hyper Musk hate train now. Which while based I’m sure his content is still very toxic to consume.

And I don’t wish that on anyone.

I think a real hobby would help with your mental health…

I didn’t even realize that was you PugJesus.

Deeply based in many ways.

I bought a book a lifetime ago about Cuban history from Haymarket books. Maybe its time to read it.

And also like, they are?

Maduro is holding office by force right now because of (reasonable) suspicions that there’s foreign influence in the election system.

I don’t know about Cuba currently, but historically they were a dictatorship for the same reason.

Like a dictatorship is just a form of government. Its wild that we assume describing things accurately is a negative statement about the country.

How the fuck else does someone describe these structures?

What an almost bold general.

I swear, the History channel documentary on his crossing of the Alps made this seem like a bigger threat.

Poor bastard tried to insert himself into Italian politics, found out how petty and absurd it is (and always will be), then lost due to confusion.

I’m finally learning Roman history after being a medievalist and American history fan for so long.

I can’t wait to male more memes.

The book I was reading made it sound like they were preparing for a proper siege, but the Wiki said they were fielded in lines. Which blows my mind.

So this image. One legion (5,000) lined up against presumably the bulk of Hannibal’s* army (50-60,000), and then Hannibal “paper hands” of Carthage fucking leaving instead of fighting them!

Yeah I can see how a Roman would ride that high into an empire. They were probably ready to die.

Lol, fuck that guy

I really respect that Proton is trying to be the quick replacement for google stuff in people transition into privacy focused tech

But shit like this is why its loosing that edge.

“De google your life! But not too much because we actually use google a lot”

The only thing I hate more than a leftist news channel using conspiracy theorist language in a 3 hour video

Is copy pasted AI break downs.

You want me to watch this but you didn’t even bother to give me your own breakdown?

Is this a not account?

That makes sense. I’ve never wanted to play bedrock so I’ve never tried.

Sorry other poster.

What are you talking about? When was the last time you tried this?

You wanna join my cult?

I’m joking, but I’m legitimately fascinated by the fact that this thread seems to have attracted all 4 people on Lemmy who are atheists that have toyed with a paradoxical atheist religion.

Maybe I shouldn’t have been posting in the religion community these last few weeks lol

Interesting read.

I’m also an atheist looking for a religion. Though, for moral reasons I reject any organized christian sect. They are all guilty in being manipulated in getting the US to where it is now, and I refuse to let them think they’ve converted an atheist.

Like the other commenter I’ve turned towards pseudo bhuddism. For me the morals and everything can be logical no issue. The real human desire we’re missing is community cohesion. A group of diverse people with a shared spiritual experience to ground us in the truth that we are social animals.

I have a few posts about it, but to me god is a conception of communal love and cosmic probability to which we can offset anxieties.

And just like the other poster, I am also practicing occultism and satanism as well as Bhuddism.

I don’t know of I’d recommend satanism just because I don’t think it’s conducive to community building.
