@Babygravy9 I wonder this all the time. Seasonings/ spices/ vegetables add little to no calories and add lots of flavor (thinking garlic, onions,etc)
Just seems silly
@Thermobolic@PGC1a_RB Working through this right now. Being strong or ignoring/ pushing down negative feelings has historically always lead to a spiral for me. Going to be some type of ERP/ acceptance therapy for me
@NoahRyanCo Having quit an SRRI after 3 years of use, I think I’m grateful for the way it helped my thinking slow down, but it also dulled emotions so much that it just wasn’t worth it for me. Now I have the best of both worlds, clearer, more decisive thinking and feeling things healthily
@GiffLasta Becoming a big fan of yours, Giff. Excited to read the book. Appreciate how you never lose your cool with people who disagree with you on X. That’s your competitive advantage in this space!
@GiffLasta It wasn’t provocative to me because I have the same default assumptions about polarity as you. But for the average Joe not familiar with said assumptions, it’s probably something like finishing that sentence with “reinforcing harmful stereotypes about men and women.”
@VoltageEchidna@MikeT03045010@darwintojesus It comes down to what you think is more plausible. No creator or a creator. My personal opinion is that, at the very least, a creator is equally plausible to no creator, at the very most much more plausible.
@MikeT03045010@darwintojesus This is all hinging on your expectations though. The Bible does not tell us to expect the way we perceive reality to be like what you described. That actually seems *closer to eternity with the Lord vs. our experience on earth
@rachallison1@FeanortheIncel “FeanortheIncel” did you just learn how to use logical fallacies and wanted to speed run a couple and then block me 🤣
Looks are meaningless if the values/ morals aren’t there. ALSO, Not being attracted to someone physically is not immoral. This isn’t hard stuff.
@FeanortheIncel@rachallison1 “Original” and “genuine” does not mean “good” or “interesting.” As a man, I assure you we also have the power to not entertain women we are not attracted to.
@MikeT03045010@darwintojesus That really only argues against Omni benevolence. And to frame it as evidence you are making the assumption that you know what is required for all the universe to achieve “maximum goodness.” Because neither of us can, faith is required. Probably others who can articulate better
@MikeT03045010@darwintojesus The issue is that none of these are evidence of no God. It would be evidence if the Bible said that God makes everyone feel happy and loved at all times.
@ThrillaRilla369 Never got vaxxed and got it 2-3 times over 5 years. Never had it bad. I know people who didn’t get it who had worse experiences though. Common factor is usually general health hygiene
@TheMattViera It’s tough because while there is nothing inherently malicious about what he’s saying we all know deep down this is just so counterfeit compared to the reward of growing and leading a family.
He is correct on “different definitions of rich”
