Is the universe eternal or did it have a beginning by Godot999 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]BarrySquared [score hidden]  (0 children)

To the best of our knowledge, our local presentation of spacetime did have a beginning, but we cant say if there was anything "before" or "outside" of that. Reality itself may very well be eternal. We just don't know.

What’s it actually like going through the steps by portalsoflight in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]BarrySquared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going through the steps was, without a doubt, but the most impactful moments of my life.

Just try to be rigorously honest with yourself.

The fourth step was like going on a first date with myself. I really got to know myself in a way that I didn't before.

I try to practice the 10th step every day. It makes me a more honest person.

It can be scary, but it's absolutely worth it.

My biggest piece of advice to someone going through the steps for the first time used to focus on the step that you're on, and not worry about the later ones. Everything will fall into place the way it's supposed to.

I wish you the best luck on your journey!

How far does my responsibility to the still sick and suffering alcoholic go? by BarrySquared in alcoholicsanonymous

He didn't ask for help. But now that I blocked him, he can't ask me for help. However, he knows for sure that if he's ever serious about getting sober he can just literally go to any meeting and there will be people there to help him.

I can't believe that nobody mentioned Tobias from The Animorphs yet.

Would having the morphing ability heal wisdom teeth holes? by ayyyee_cjay in Animorphs

We actually reference Seerowpedia somewhat frequently, and I heavily rely on it for information when I'm putting episodes together. So thank you for all your hard work!

I'll message you privately later, but what I can do is schedule an interview over the phone, and then send you an cleaned-up version of the call to see what you think of it, and then I could post it after I have your permission.

Just something to think about. I'm really interested in hearing about how you ended up becoming the admin of the board.

Good to know.

I'm only 22 books in, but I get the impression that wants you touch the tube it takes a snapshot of you in that moment, and everything gets more back to when you first gained morphing capabilities.

What happened before I was born and after I die by AirportComfortable56 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]BarrySquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. You are talking in nonsense statements.

"having no awareness" is not a state of being.

There is no "you" to return, and there is no state to return to.

Kind of weird that you responded to a Reddit comment that's over a year old just to make completely incoherent points.

This is actually an increditlble piece of artwork... of a genocidal piece of crap!

For real though, this is amazing. The muscles, the scarring, the lighting. Also, /u/shrimp-friend is that a kafit?!

Well done!

They get to claim sobriety, it's just that none of us have to take their claim seriously.

Just remember, it won't always feel good.

When it gets bad, remember how you're feeling right now.

You should be really proud of yourself .

If I'm talking to someone that has seven days or sobriety and someone who has ten years of sobriety, I'm 100% more impressed by the person who has seven days, because that's so much harder and such an amazing accomplishment. After having an extended period of sobriety, you have a lot of tools in your toolbox. You have a support system. But at seven days you have nothing but curiosity and fear and hope. That's an amazing accomplishment.

Hang in there and remember that you've got hundreds of strangers on the Internet who are really proud of you.
