One factor is that paganism is tolerant of adding additional gods, practices, or beliefs to your mix. From a pagan standpoint, adding in Christianity wasn’t a big deal, but Christianity was not similarly tolerant, they weren’t cool with you keeping your pagan gods. Plus their belief system had the threat of eternal damnation and the promise of heaven to motivate you.

The way you used pronouns, ‘they’ and then ‘we’, suggests you are asking if they become a new person in the eyes of us who haven’t died. Is that really what you meant?

It’s usually the influence of the Darkness that prompts people to put hotdogs in a toaster. Don’t listen to what it tells you about the bathtub either.

I don’t classify ideas in my head into those two categories like that. They are all beliefs. I have a sense of how confident I am of each idea. Like how surprised I would be if they were proved wrong. And I try to maintain awareness of why I have that confidence, like other beliefs that support it, evidence, etc.

That’s imperfect, like I can’t claim that there aren’t ideas that, if challenged, I’d think about what my supporting evidence is and come up with bupkis. Anything is up for doubt and reevaluation.

I feel pretty strongly that this is the right approach, and that people failing to have a similar approach is a serious problem in the world.

The Executioner’s Song

Making any of these gasses lickable kind of renders the green invalid.

The hard thing is to actually get past their lizard brain and contact their logical brain.

I dont know if this is what you mean, but I once recieved an empty package and it was a struggle to get a replacement. It doesnt fit any categories they recognize. It’s not ‘did not recieve’ ( there was even a delivery pic), there’s nothing to return. I had to chat (IM) with someone multiple times.

Maybe they’ve been developing immunity…

I momentarily misread that as “depression fart” and was expecting a different reason for changing sheets.

It’s not even a compromise really, it’s very up to date and very stable.

Dementia often causes personality changes. It can make really nice people into assholes, and it can turn people who were real bastards into the reverse.

What gets me is how transparent the term is, and people still act like its a good thing.

Since when are HR working class?

And you don’t even need to bring class into it, their role is the same even when the employees aren’t working class either.

Flight of the Bumblebee.

I experience it on both my Linux laptop and my Android (actually GrapheneOS) phone. It appears to be because I have WebGL disabled for security hardening.

Figma tells me to update or switch browsers. Firefox.

Gecko is basically just a different installer for openSUSE and some different default settings.

This seems like a very unreliable way to check that.

FWIW, it’s a 9 min video and doesn’t contain anything earth shattering or easily summarized. Basically there is some friction between C and Rust devs, and Linus doesn’t think that it’s such a bad thing (there has be interesting discussion) and it’s way too early to call Rust in the kernel a failure.
