Just a meathead trying to figure out this Freedom tech thing. I occasionally post whitewater kayaking footage from my archive.

Being a Christian does not protect you from suffering. Even Christ's apostles were not spared from violent martyrdom.

The character of God is such that he gave his only son, whom he loved, to die and pay for our sin. Sin is a cancer that afflicts us all. Don't think your experience is evidence that God is evil or callous. Just means there are people around you who have much to answer for..... who especially need Jesus for their sin is great.

I bet Tolkien wouldn've been a Bitcoiner.

Yeah to worship something God created would be idolatry.

The Trinity is confusing, how can God be three..... but also one? But here is another thought, what if God doesn't care if we can comprend Him? If He exists, being infinite and omniscient, and we are his creations, wouldn't his "being" be too much for us to comprehend? I find Christianity easier to believe in because it doesn't make sense. The Bible has a bunch of weird and baffling stories, if it was all made up, who the hell would include all the incest? Something fabricated would be a lot more convenient.

What if the logos are for companies and causes that you like shilling?

You can only mine so much attention from users to sell ads. Can't grow forever that way. Either you get 100% of the user's attention, at which point how do they pay for anything being advertised since they are useless phone slaves, or users disconnect because they hate the attention mining. Seems like an unsustainable high time preference scheme to me.

Dude..... I have been doing Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength program and it has put a 150 pounds on my squat over the past year.

"Strong people are harder to kill than weak people and more useful in general."

Yeah! Can't ban a website from the app store!

There are other browser clients around though.....

Just do all the stacking for her and let herdo her thing! My wife doesn't really care. I just explain that this "wallet" is our inflation resistant long term savings and that she can find the keys in XXX spot if something happens to me.
