I mean…yahoo still exists. I think surviving is a pretty key element to doing well.

Lost_My_Mindto Mildly Infuriating•A Kentucky church is urging its members to remove books from the Shelby Public Library by checking them out and never returning themEnglish8·3 天前And see, here’s the thing. I’m an athiest, but I think churches COULD be a good thing. It’s an organization that teaches people to be good people. Sure, fine, they believe there’s an all knowing invisible man in the sky that knows everything since the dawn of time. And I’ll ignore the fact that supposedly everything that happens is his plan, but also we have free will…that he planned. I’ll ignore that not making sense, because simple minded as they may be, they’re just trying to be good people. Religion helps them not struggle with the hard questions in life, and just be a human. A good human.
Now for the part where it all comes crumbling down for me.
I have never once met an overly religious person who wasn’t also a massive hypocrite. So now, it goes from being a person just trying to BE good, into being a person just trying to APPEAR to be a good person while hiding all the evil shit they do.
Now, I don’t believe heaven exists. I don’t believe hell exists. I believe earth exists. I believe through the acts of chaos theory that billions of years ago a chain reaction happened in this solar system. I don’t know what led to it happening. I don’t know why it doesn’t happen in other solar systems more often. But I do believe it happened here. And then over the coarse of billions of years, and juuuuuuust the right atmospheric conditions, life exists. Life adapts. Life dies. New life emerges. And I believe that may have also happened outside of our solar system. Not humans. Some other life form. Maybe it’s a planet full of space cows. Maybe something else. Nobody knows. And I may be wrong. Maybe we are alone.
The point is, I don’t believe there is a “good place” to go when I die that rewards my behavior in life, like an all seeing Santa Claus. Which means, when I do good things, when I do morally right things, it’s because I’M the one who determined them to be the right thing to do. I decided that it needs to be done. Not because I’ll get rewarded later, but because it’s the right thing to do.
Now, if I decide to do bad things, I also don’t believe I’ll be held in some firey eternity. I don’t believe I’ll be punished post death for anything I’l done. I don’t believe Hitler went to hell. Not because he doesn’t deserve it (if it were real, he absolutely does). I just don’t think anybody gets praised or punished or exists at all post death.
But that’s not how these people see it. From their perspective, they know they’re doing wrong. Their god knows they’re doing wrong. Their church knows they’re doing wrong too! So wouldn’t that imply this all goes towards their sins list?
But then I get told that sinners can just repent for all their sins, and be accepted into heaven.
Soooooooo…literally your entire life, all your beliefs, all your good deeds, all your bad deeds, all the time in church, all the time praying, it was all one MASSIVE waste of time. Me being an athiest, could repent for all my sins, never having believed in god my whole life, and I’d be let in.
So really, them taking these books doesn’t mean a damn thing to them, until they get the same treatment done to them. Then suddenly we’re the sinners. We’re going to hell.
See? Hypocrites.
As a mod of Fuck_AI, I approve of blue shirt’s attitude!
It’s just like Adam Blumpied always used to say…

I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of them clicked the wrong thing. Or couldn’t read in the first place.
businesses realised paying $200,000 upfront for their own servers instead of $20,000 every month was better in the long run
Not even the long run. 11 months is when you’d pay $220,000 which is MORE than $200,000.
So not even a year until you’re losing money.
“Why aren’t you using AI?”
“Uhhhhhh…core fundamental difference of ethics?”
Thats not how kids work. You have to tell them you LOVE AI, and then they’ll hate it, just to rebel.

And that pizza will give you the munchies. You should order a pizza after you eat your 1st pizza!
Sounds to me like there’s money to be made by opening a chain of stoner friendly pizza places that are open at 11pm, and don’t close until 11am.
