So how they enjoy their sex lives is dependant on continuing to preach AI catastrophism? I don't buy it. Lots of poly folks out here that probably don't care much about AI one way or another.

The word "cult" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It can mean anything from religion, to weird religion I don't like, to the organizations that try to cut you off from contact with your family and other people outside the

This theory relies on not defining consciousness. My dog certainly appears to be conscious, and I doubt there is any evidence of some canine use of psychedelics.

Where I live on the West Coast any towns older than a couple hundred years are long gone, the people were killed or evicted from their land long ago. The existing towns are all new.

I still use Reddit, but only see niche hobbyist subreddits for things I'm interested in. It's not bad if you use it that way.

Although it uses the same technology as gambling, it's for a different purpose. You aren't hoping to die, you are doing risk management for your family.

It's gambling. I think pretty much all carnival games work like that.

I don't think anybody was suggesting getting rid of cars.

I barely drink, but the previous attempt to ban it was terrible for society. I totally understand their thinking on this.

That was a few years ago. I wonder if feelings have changed as more people get experience with self driving vehicles.

That is certainly something we have done horribly wrong in most of the US.

I'm guessing this is sarcastic, but you never know.

The Bible teaches a lot of different things. It's not one message, as much as people want it to be.

Sound similar to other religions. You have a set of scriptures, traditions, and mythologies, that get interpreted by each individual believer. Christianity is pretty much the same. We also have Christian nationalists in the US, for a more p

It definitely was. There were at least sometimes extenuating circumstances though. My sense is that in the US and Canada settlers found a great deal of "apparently" uninhabited land, largely a result of the diseases that had swept

Even then, they only claimed Yahweh as their God (of the Jews), not the one god of everybody. Things have certainly changed with the ascendance of Christianity though.

If anybody really cared about the national debt they would stop passing giant tax cuts.

That change really requires a constitutional amendment, since the relevant article talks about counting persons, not citizens.

You say that like the current government is spending less. Republicans only talk about spending less, they don't actually do it. They do cut taxes though, so the debt grows even faster.

Evidence points to Ukraine doing it, not the US.

I would guess that most of those announced deals will never come to fruition. He loves to pat himself on the back, and everybody seems willing to go along with it, until they actually have to spend money.

It's unclear who blew up the pipeline, but evidence appears to point to Ukraine, not the US.

The reality is one of those two people is going to get elected. Your vote for Mickey Mouse isn't going to affect the outcome. Of course most elections aren't close enough for your vote to matter at all.

That can work, if you are strategic about it. If your candidate is polling at 5%, you might as well have not voted at all. Something I read once, probably 50 years ago now: you may not see a candidate you want to vote for, but you will pr
