You could dab it with a little paint or glue or something.

It helps when you reframe math as a puzzle, because then it becomes a game. It’s not interesting unless you make it interesting.

“New Math” kind of tries to do this, although then you run into the problem of parents being unable to help their kids with homework.

Well, no, my position is that gods could be real but none of them are worth worshiping.

Then, additionally, if there’s some kind of omnipotent and omniscient Creator then it’s evil and I hate it.

That premise is the premise of the christian, islamic, jewish, and all other self appointed omnipotent creating entities.

Well, yeah, those are the gods I hate. I used the term “almighty” as a shorthand for “god that created literally everything.” They created everything including non-physical concepts like good and evil. You’re basically just describing a Big Bang with a personality, which isn’t really in the category of gods I hate. That god just made cool stars and rocks and stuff, it didn’t really make everything. Rather, the rocks spontaneously came to life and started suffering without input.

Biology, genetics and environmental causes.

And… who made those?

I guess… physics, primordially?

And who made that!?

We’re owed nothing for existing.

We are, actually. We didn’t ask to exist. It was forced onto us by a cruel god that thought it would be neat to make humans.

If we think back to the dumpster baby, god created a child and threw them in a dumpster. For fun. It doesn’t get to wash its hands and say “I don’t owe them anything, it’s up to them to survive.” It’s still responsible for creation and it is derelict in its duty.

Who is responsible for birth defects? For natural disaster? For sickness? These things aren’t choices and we aren’t responsible for them, they happen because god created a cruel world for us to suffer and die in. God created the dumpster and threw us in.

I think you misunderstood - God is the one throwing the baby in a dumpster.

Imagine you intentionally become pregnant, give birth to a child, and then throw them in a dumpster. That’s the god you described.

Except multiply that by billions of lives.

I think more broadly you could say I’m anti-demiurge, I guess I don’t particularly hate the other gods but they’re just jumped up elementals/spirits. Like, whatever, some guy demands to be worshipped in exchange for boons or to bestow curses or whatever. I think he’s an asshole for lording his cool lightning powers over us, but I don’t think he needs to be destroyed for it per se.

Antitheist.

If there is some kind of almighty God that created and rules everything then it must be the most evil being to ever exist and we must destroy it. It created evil, it created suffering, it created loss, it created death, and for what? Fun?

Dried beans (lima, black-eyed peas, navy)

Why would dried beans be better than fresh or canned beans?

We don’t have men’s brains. Scans actually show that our brain structures are more similar with our gender identity than our assigned gender at birth, especially after hormonal and social transitioning.

Intent isn’t magic. We aren’t mind readers, so literally the only way to know what you intend is if you literally say it.

My plan is to live forever or die trying. None of this reincarnation crap!

There is no discernible difference between being reborn as a blank slate and dying. Either way, I cease to exist. No thanks.

… what?

Do I get to choose who I am born to? And is this rebirth or a blank slate? You didn’t answer anything!

1. Do I get to pick my mother?

2. We talking rebirth with continuity of memory or is this a blank slate?

oh fk 🥵

Could also be COVID brain fog.

Respawn point.
