they just want to make them more childish so they can make more money. The fairytales also used to have actual moral of the story or more meaning in general.

it would give good starting point for proper research though

protesting is one of the few “real” things left to us, it would be horrifying it that got commercialised too.

is he going through a list about antichrist? this is literally one of the things.

i wonder what the most obscure god was

maybe you will uncover the secret language of your ass

firefox really shouldnt be our only line of defence for decent browser…

it means i might be open to relationship with same gender as myself or other experiences. It also means i can better relate to other people in similar position. But how can you evaluate what is necessarily beneficial to others or how much bother things have caused for them?

But ultimately, what does it even matter what people think about their gender? its their own business. It still falls down to people either liking eachother or not. Only thing added is expectation of respecting what other person thinks about themselves, which also serves as a filter for people one wouldnt want to associate with anyway.

It might also be, that the multitude of different sexualities is result of people being able to think about that stuff without worrying constantly they will be hunted down for it. Even though things are still not exactly optimal, society has become safe enough for more complex behaviour to emerge. So on second thought, maybe its indeed product of cultural factors 🤔

Personally, i have always thought i’m 100% straight, but after discussing about things with a friend and after starting to feel I shed last of the things suppressing me, I think i might be only 90% ±9% straight. I think if we could completely remove all suppression of thought, every human would deviate at least a little from binaric gender system. I also think it would improve mental health a lot too and it would lessen the amount of people who want to hurt other people for being different. Probably everyone who preaches how homosexuality is a sin is secretly non-straight, but they just suppress it so badly it drives them to insanity of hurting others.

state that does not have to answer to its citizens is basically foreign occupation

This whole thing was likely spawned from the diseased mind of the despot. I doubt there was much thought put into such things, except maybe as an afterthought.

But if america does bomb iran to “stone ages”, I dread the grudge it would create. There would be so many people with literally nothing to lose and with clear target for their hate. There are also so many factions that would fund or otherwise suppily that hate with resources.

Maybe trump thinks there is too little terrorism aimed at america, he is hellbent on making you all suffer afterall.

though have you considered that hiding such identity has been product of cultural factors?

Well of course, its kind of nobrainer? If you like someone and want to be with them and they like you and want to be with you, that is that.

if you dont block some applications from internet, they definitely are listening somehow. not sure if they can bypass the microphone permission, but if any has constant access then that is that. what i meant that the phone itself doesnt seem to have thing where it listens on you. average user who is not technically adept at all will have their phone riddled with spyware so no wonder they are seeing targeted ads.

Fakebook is just facilitating the ads, the advertising companies are the ones with the data. Though what facebook does with it is likely that they try manipulate you through their algorithm, suggesting stuff they want you to see based on the data collected. Be it for increased addiction, manipulation of opinions or something else.

its same mentality as drug supplier avoiding to get high on his own suppily.

when i dont feel well and i dont want to answer directly, i tend to say something in lines of “nothing” as in my state is null. i think it gets the point across but doesnt overtly emphasis that you are not doing well.

those are indeed quite interesting. i’m also not impressed with the church for branding them heretics. the religious reasons provided seem more like excuses to cover secular reasons they wanted to silence these.

some of these seem quite apt for modern day too, as a resistance to how things are.

and ironically one could likely draw more people in by openly declaring yourself as a heretic if you wanted to revive these 😆

the point is lemmy is ours, not some psycho billionaire’s.

gnostic faith has quite interesting ideas, it kind of makes a lot of sense too imo. its also a bit concerning about some things. I also heard it would have been the mainline christianity at some point but then something happened and it was branded heresy and we got the current one instead.

just say “not well” if you are not well. if they dont care, then what do you care what they think.

personally i find it degrading to pretend everything is fine if things are not fine.
