I avoid union products whenever I can.

I use the mute button frequently. In my view, it is the right way to deal with content you do not want to see for whatever reason, sort of like a killfile on USENET.
My guess is that with Threads most of us will not need to worry because Threads will defederate lots of interesting instances, so those are going to split off into the #freeverse.

The collectors out there are often quite impressive. Usually more like fifty $500 to $1000 pipes.
It's beyond me, conceptually.

I would agree with that, and might add: I am distrustful of religious texts generally.
Written things get misinterpreted.

Hmm, that's interesting. I would just like people at home more, including dads. We are all getting raped of our time by jobs so that we can pay taxes to subsidize grift and failure.

As if I decorate. No, this is for dayjob purposes.
I like white walls and birch wood. Everything else just seems like noise.

Sigourney Weaver was so badass in "Aliens" that I think it inspired a generation of people who wanted to go to space.

Having men and women have different spheres of influence makes sense.
Complementary parts. It strengthens both sexes.

If we start Christianity from Phaedo, it makes more sense, and the Protestant vision is actually closer to the original.

It all seems very disconnected now, but the essence of Catholicism seems to be almost a direct fetishism of the Christ mythos.
Protestantism, like Buddhism, seems to be more focused on internal balance and clarity.
Then there's the various evangelical, prosperity gospel, and fundamentalist sects... who seem to miss the mark.

You can get some good ones in the $250ish range. Some of those pipe makers are really good. There's other stuff that I think goes over the top:

What a classic! I would smoke the hell out of that. The Dublin is pretty too.

Me too. I don't know how to identify the shape, but it has a great stem and what looks like a deep bowl, perfect for an English (like Frog Morton).

I could never get on the "bash the prots" train, and it reeks to me of Right-wing false hope like anarchy and "freedom."
It is fundamentally the same religion. The Catholic rituals are more physical, but the Protestants seem more attached to nature as a parallel to the gods (especially Calvinists).
Catholicism never went as far to recognize the inequality of souls, which is why it went so third world in the last century.

We used straws and coated them with curare.
"An explorer in sun helmet has brought down a citizen with blow gun and curare dart. He
administers artificial respiration with one foot. (Curare kills by paralyzing the lungs. It has no other
toxic effect, is not, strictly speaking, a poison. If artificial respiration is administered the subject will
not die. Curare is eliminated with great rapidity by the kidneys.)"

Smoking one now. I hope to some day be a quarter as cool.
The straight billiard is one of my favorite shapes. Yes, a generic classic, but also a mighty convenient smoke.

Pagan rituals tended to be based around nature and the seasons.
The personal nature of dualism came about through the Christian idea of moralism separating pure/Heaven from impure/Earth.
