That's a totally fair perspective. I don't begrudge or deny the possibility of everyone's beliefs. I just share my own perspective when the topic comes up because I think it's important that minority views are represented. I'm a realist who was raised without any manner of faith or religion, and so I have no basis to believe anything other than what the evidence justifies.

Well when you get a free moment, please take a look.

BTW, did you get my DM?

American prisons have an overwhelmingly Christian population. And the church I general is filled with hypocrites who behave atrociously and then excuse themselves by calling it sin and blaming Satan.

I wish that were true, but I suspect they just cease to exist like everyone else. That's why punishment and stigma in this life are so important. We only know for a fact that we have today. 🤷‍♂️

Awesome. I was worried you all got kidnapped.

I was addictive to those things in my rave days. They're magical when you're rolling.

That's just the first example I found. Cookie dough contains raw egg. Raw egg is a known carrier of salmonella. It kinda makes sense. They make raw cookie dough that's safe to eat because it's made with pasteurized egg.

Isn't menthol the active ingredient in Vicks Vapor inhaler? Or is that the chemical model for menthol? It's crazy how miniscule chemical differences can translate to such disparate effects.

Every now and then I check the registry map and am always horrified by just how many sex offenders live within a 30mi radius of my house.

Your relay has been down for the past 3 days.

Why do think it's my party? I hate both sides, but I hate dishonesty and intellectual bankruptcy even more. And those are defining characteristics of the contemporary right under Trump.

They had Disney create a next-gen animatronic Biden that can convincingly bike around DC while he remains in a vegetative state in the White House basement, right?

Right. He's a comatose dementia patient being kept alive in the White House basement, and he's also the most devious and clever political operative who's able to act with impunity without leaving a shred of evidence to substantiate his detractor's manufactured suspicions. 🙄

Nothing like intellectual bankruptcy.

But it's totally cool when Trump does it. Amiright?

As you get older, it is increasingly more difficult, expensive, and complicated to do something about a career rut and/or the need to break out and retrain for something else. That, and discovering real talents and passions for things that you realistically have no time or possibility to pursue because you wasted your younger years working jobs you hated to chase someone else's dream. #musings

And legacy.nostr.watch is now showing that it's down, so that settles it. I also noticed that nostr:nprofile1qqs84k6jpsav0jmdeqjn2zxlpnsajaw6f8l0m2d4e9t8gjsyn53s4nspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumfv9khxarj9e3k7mgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyhat8ky hasn't been active for the past 3 days. I wonder if it's related 🤔

Who cares? Nobody said shit when Trump pardoned Kushner's father, and then nominated him to be an ambassador. Why should Biden continue abiding two sets of rules and standards? I don't hear anyone here talking about the brazen nepotism and political favoritism exhibited by Trump? Why is it OK for him, but a scandal when Biden does it?
