I wonder if science fiction and religion are related in any way

L Ron Hubbard has entered chat

Yeah I was thinking that as I was posting it

I'm just watching the pope you see and I can't work out whether all of the traditions, the rituals and the regalia is prehistoric or futuristic

What ever it is I'm absolutely fascinated by it

A plutocrat murders a poor person and he receives a Nobel peace prize in economics.

A poor person murders a plutocrat and they're treated like they're the worst thing to happen to humanity since Adolf Hitler.

Perception, perception, perception.

Context, context, context?

Sentiment! Reaction! Response!

Belief? Unbelief?

Reasonance!/Dissonance!

Repeat.

Is it just me or does anyone else see a completely different word when they see OFWAT

I sometimes wonder if in the future we might see politics by subscription. By which I mean I can choose my governing party of preference and I pay tax to them, and they distribute that tax into the services I use and value most.

So I could choose to subscribe to Labour, for example and I might pay more tax but I'd have access to better funded schools for my kids and free healthcare. Or I could subscribe Tory and I'd pay less tax but have to pay my own medical bills and maybe give up the social security safety net.

It'd be hugely complex, obviously, and wouldn't work for infrastructure and defence or certain other services.

But I wonder.

The key to denying Israel's genocidal actions seems to be avoiding all news reporting that actually covers those actions.

If I don't know those facts I don't need to consider them before spouting my opinions isn't a very good premise for good faith discussions however. Unfortunately good faith might not be a concept that hasbarists recognize.

I found out that my transphobic, antivaxxing cousin voted for Trump and is now homophobic as well. She’s trying to push her sons into liking girls. She believes in ancient aliens, doesn’t have a high school diploma or the equivalent, and is homeschooling her kids. I don’t think people should be allowed to homeschool children without a high school diploma (or the equivalent) and some college.

Despite finding the idea of engaging with her…challenging/distasteful, I’d try to help her but I think she’s too far into the koolaid right now. She claims that her beliefs are based on research and evidence. It’s like she substituted one cult for various others.

She thinks that universities and the “medical establishment” are culty.

She’s been through a lot, so I feel a bit guilty for avoiding her.

Everybody wants to be a gangster until it's time to do gangster s**t.

A lot of our politicians try to be professional, but when asked about their participation in corruption, they become so rude, childish, and immature.

These people are what the majority of our citizens want running our country? I really hope for the worst.

We haven't hit the bottom yet but when we do, I hope our country breaks EVERY bone in its legs. I want the slow and painful climb back up to be remembered.

i feel guilty about the spoiled upper middle class brat.

the first job i had was when i was 18, for 5 months. cashier, tuesday morning.

in college, worked 2 months serving food.

six years of ucsd, $10000, graduated 2007. parents paid it all. BA cognitive science.

24-41, been living in parents' house. 2015, my mom got a stroke and dropped dead. 2020, my dad got colon cancer and dropped dead.

after ucsd, worked @
ucsf, data entry
AAA, data entry
great amercica, actor, 3 seasons
westpac

ucsf, AAA, wespac had the nerve to make my worthless corpse redundant the third day.

bzzagent, 2009, communications contractor, $0.40 per review. one quarter only. they blocked my account and wouldn't lemmie work any more.

2020-now, been working @ home depot. lot attendant.

all my jobs have been part time and minimum wage.

all that time, lived in parents' house. didn't pay any bills until after they were both dead, when i was 37. now i live in their house, alone. my sister inherited the house. my sister was a physician for 15 years. she said that in the middle of this year, she stopped working there b/c of her 13 year old daughter. according to linkedin, she is not currently working. my sister is married to an electrical engineer. she has two kids, 13 and 9. she lives about 15 miles from me. she keeps telling me she wants to sell the house. this year, i earned $25000 and that is not enough for (1) room, (2) board (3) utilities (4) public transportation (5) health insurance, not even in the ghetto that i live in.

i am afraid that when she sells the house, i will end up homeless.

always been single. zero "friends". nobody will lemmie sleep on the couch. s**t. autistic transsexual.

cannot afford to turn the heat on. i do not live in a cold climate per se (about 42-60 degrees fahrenheit), but my feet sometimes feel frozen and s**t.

the internet did not work between friday 9pm and today 4pm.

also constantly afraid of getting made redundant from my dumpster fire "job".

s**t.
