You're free to share a more general answer, should you have one. And I'm free to share the answer I've found, even as I'm working through the challenges of life. I've no idea what "spiritual bypassing" eve

There is joy to be found. There can be peace, in this life, even walking through the worst of times. It's found in Jesus, and the life-on-life community known as the Church. We've invented ways to turn down the volume knob on

It's not gone. It's just less common, and, at least in my experience, hidden inside churches where people are open about this sort of thing, and where, in a lot of them, miscarriages are treated as much the same thing, to be grie

And this is why I hate AI so strongly (I... debated several less charitable wordings of this opening). I read, because I want to know what people think. What people thought, decades, centuries ago. Writing, and reading, are about the

There are so many things that hit differently with age and stage of life. I really liked What Dreams May Come back in high school. Dante's Inferno, kind of, trip to Hell, Robin Williams, trippy paint scene. I watched it again as a mar

Good. I'm onboard with that. They're human-toxic systems that optimize "hours on screen" over literally anything else that might be good for people.

On a topic that is emotionally loaded, personal, and increasingly political? I question if having provided a few links would change anyone's opinion, yes. I started out planning to add a pile of them, but it's hard to find anythi

There's a built in process to revise it that has been used repeatedly throughout the USA's history. Just don't assume that process would always go the way you'd prefer, different people have different opinions. Though t

Were I to spend half an hour providing a set of links, would it actually change anyone's opinion on the matter? It seems to be the sort of viewpoint that isn't easily changed by a few research papers.

I assume if you mention US political party names on HN, you get a pile of downvotes immediately, valid point or not. I'm not aware they're trying to make it actively illegal, though. Just at least marginally age gated to adults,

Are they doing anything with the on-device "Hey, this image someone texted you may contain nudity, are you sure you want to see it?" sort of filters with what's displayed in apps, or is this a parental control option?

The experiment of "all the porn for all the people with no limits" has been tried, and the results have been absolutely abysmal for humans. Beyond the abuse and sex trafficking ties (or the right at the edge of the legal definitio

Based on the amount of sports betting apps I see if there's a game on at a restaurant or something, a lot of people. And in actual numbers, about 20% of Americans at least have an account with a sports betting platform. https:/&#

I'm not sure I'd agree reading a book is isolating. At a minimum, you can (assuming a human author...) "get inside the author's brain." Some books are better at this than others, certainly. But even without that,

The first couple seasons were Jamie and Adam, with a fairly minimal film crew, "doing stuff." Going to random stores to get things and talk to people, and generally having a good time doing it on a shoestring budget. The show la

Indeed, Whonix "just works" in Qubes! Disposable Workstation VM without Javascript enabled makes a lot of the internet quite nice. Also, makes a lot of it literally unusable. Oh well.

It could certainly stand to improve the description. Whonix is a two-VM solution for Tor use that makes it... I won't say "impossible," but "far, far harder than usual" to bypass Tor proxies and leak a direct beacon

Windows support is definitely a second class feature in Qubes, across the board. I don't think many of the core developers actually use or particularly care about Windows. It should run a standalone Windows VM just fine, though I&#x27

Wildfires, unfortunately, have a way of "not caring in the slightest about what people think of them." Throw in the winds of southern CA, and a wildfire can go from "freshly started" to "a few thousand acres"
