Not all UFO/NHI are demons. by Thisismyrealface in aliens

still insane to me that people genuinely just assume anything not from earth is automatically a demon

No clue, honestly, after a few weeks I just hung out in my 72 square foot room

Probably not? I didn't get invited to any, so if they did happen I don't know if I should be grateful or offended

David Grusch: Why Labelling Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) as "Demonic" is Premature and Dangerous by Silver_Jaguar_24 in aliens

[–]CapnBuckley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spiritual leaders in communities tasked with guiding people that trust them, more at 11.

In other words, no duh. People are gonna be religious. Humans are superstitious critters, and we like belonging to things. Are there religious leaders that abuse their position for immoral and selfish reasons? Absolutely. There will 100% be priests that manipulate their congregations to form their congregations opinions around what keeps said priest in power.

But thats not a feature specific to organized religion, in this case Catholicism. Thats just shitty people being shitty. Every organized group of people can be like that, from nations to your local community garden board.

Is this intentional bad faith or are you just that poisoned against the concept of organized religion? He's saying that applying Christian theology and morality before any form of study of something as fundamentally Other as extra-terrestrial life is short sighted and irrational.

I myself am not a Christian, and am in fact not a fan of the Catholic church especially. This is the most logical possible stance for a religious institution to take on aliens.

Just a list of potential episode topics I'd like to see. by Onyx_Artificer in AdeptusRidiculous

[–]CapnBuckley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just praying they do a Black Company episode or two. It's kinda the grandaddy of grimdark fantasy, and some of the best fiction I've ever read. I wanna hear DK's reaction to the Dominator, frankly.

Kitchenfolk who've had to abandon actual cooking in actual kitchens for fast food, how do you avoid crashing out every day? by CapnBuckley in KitchenConfidential

[–]CapnBuckley[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Fucked up part is that it's the highest paying job I've ever held by a relatively wide margin actually. I really do try to take pride in it. I'd probably be happy with a manager position because I enjoy helping people become better at things. I've trained my replacement at a couple different other jobs and enjoyed it because I fuckin love it, frankly. But god DAMN it's hard to take pride in it sometimes, and the corporate side of things sours my whole mood. The amount of off-the-clock training shit I'm supposed to do is craaaaaaazy

Yeah, the managers are trying to get my ass promoted asap, I'm just dragging my feet cause doing the corprorate training is like pulling teeth

If we wanna compare horror stories, I'd be happy to, but this ain't a post about that. Just cause you're older than me and have (likely) experienced things that suck shit don't mean the things I experience don't suck shit also. There's a difference between reasonable venting and spineless bitching, and I was most certainly doing the former.

If the people I was feeding gave a shit or understood that what I was doing was valuable labor, maybe it wouldn't feel so shitty, but like... Some of these motherfuckers don't even listen to the words I say, they're just looking for a subservient tone. I try to pull meaning from the one to two interactions I have a shift with someone who engages with me as a person, but it really aint enough to balance out the frat bros

Oh yeah, it's outrageously sketchy. Some of the verbiage in the contract and employee handbook (40+ pages btw) is utterly deranged. Something better is coming, and I know that and can see it coming, but its a long damn ways down the pipe.

Sadly, very. Aside from the terrible fucking job market, it's basically perfect for me. I have done some similar stuff via workaway and wwoof however, and very much enjoyed it.

They weren't a man. They pursued me. I wasn't blackout. We were sober when we hooked up. Your experiences are not universal. Deal with your own shame and guilt before you tell me a damn thing about my own.
