God's will is not so forceful as to supernaturally reach into the world and kill someone clinging to life, even if by evil means. If it were, and He reached down and destroyed the device every single time, you'd be likely to rebel

>how we define "abomination" comes down to what we're used to. If a person believes scripture is only a cultural document and not divine revelation then that would be the definition of abomination. I have to personally dis

I've heard this one, yes. From my experience of learning about the God that I pray to, I highly doubt He's sending me commenters asking me one liners about seat belts and dialysis to convince me that the monk I admire was wrong, a

Do I have people who really need me to stick around and support them in some important way? How old/aged am I already? What is my priest advising I do? How much does it cost, can that money do something more meaningful in the lives of

No. None of those safety implements you describe are things that alter the structure of my body, they are applied to augment the safety of existing pieces of external technology. So if they symbolize something negative, it would have to be

I'd want to question why I'm doing it. For example do I have kids I need to stick around to support? Or am I just going to be discharged to mostly play video games, alone? Because I don't see a need to extend that life. Then

You're right. They need lives and bodies to serve big picture grand strategy agendas, they'll pander to the "excitable gamer" or the "marginalized underdog" alike as soon as they understand which demo to reach

Yeah, I find it ironic that the commenters in the ad whine about the "Netflix Original Trailer" looking "Emma" ad in favor of the "Video Game" ad. "No, give me back the old propaganda for an imperialist de

Because we are relational creatures. To even accomplish a task in a totally isolated state requires it be intrinsically motivated to an outrageous level. Things like a matter of basic survival qualify. I think anything outside of that spher

I think the biggest risk vector taking us along that conga line is poor mental health. Vulnerable people feel weak and helpless enough to actually believe they ought to depend on on a system to take the work/responsibility out of their

I'll give you that there are cities that can be worse for this particular part of the problem, but you can't package a product without polluting some. And Tokyo is a city with millions of people-products.

Yeah, there's a "dark triad" of Japanese-bred terms for given behaviours that usually occur together. -Hikikomori is a shut-in. -NEET is someone who is "Not in Employment, Education or Training". -Otaku means basica

The video reminds me that sometimes I feel tempted to add something to the graffiti in places in Shibuya, or Akiba where it's already teeming. Life here in offices day in and day out is extremely boring, and any given change you might
