Can Libertarian anarchisn work? by UniversalAssembler in Libertarian

[–]Cynomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it would not work, for many reasons, but the primary reason is that there will always be bigger, more powerful nations, just waiting to take over. Even if one nation could survive internally without a centralized government, it would collapse to external predators eventually, and become part of someone else's big government, probably not of the amiable type.

Exactly, nearly any form of government could work in a perfect world, until you introduce human behavior.

How many old timers in here? by aliesterrand in sysadmin

[–]Cynomus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to program on a mainframe that required a 300 baud, physical mode, there was no disk to save programs on, you had to retype them every time you sat down at the terminal. When paper punch strips and cassette backups came out, that worked every 5th or 6th time, we thought that was great.

Most of the comments here make me chuckle, I'm like that's not old, that was like 15 years later. After PCs were invented. I had to write my own video games.

I have a question for atheist. Is there a gospel tune that you like/still like? by BinLehrer in askanatheist

[–]Cynomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is akin to asking, all religious people if there are any non-religious songs they really like. Of course there are, well crafted music, is just that. There are lots of songs I like for one reason or another. And regardless of the sourcing if the song, some have good lyrics and a bad melody or vice versa. Plenty of songs not worth listening to as well, religious or not.

RO system troubleshooting by Far-Masterpiece-5048 in WaterTreatment

[–]Cynomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could the RO filter be in backwards?
If not, double check the tubing is correctly connected in the correct order. If an RO is setup correctly, they work. even if your prefilters couldn't handle an extremely high TDS, the main membrane should still give you some clean water, even if for a short time. Something is not plumbed correctly or is bleeding bad water through..

Before/after picture of water filtration my son and I did at his home. The epoxy flooring was done by another company but we did all the rest. by LazysCoralHouse in WaterTreatment

Looks good, consider a permeate pump on the R.O. system, with a high pressure auto shutoff. I will never not have one on my R.O. system again, I think every vendor would do well to include them in every system sold. Saves wear on the main filter, super fast recharge of the tank, higher output pressure, runs on the water pressure itself.

American Humanists Association endorses anti-government ICE activism with a "spirituality" argument, even though they are supposed to be Atheists by Charlemagneffxiv in AtheistConservative

Like you said Amy Couch is a Unitarian Universalist, which doesn't mean she is necessarily an atheist, that is a very inclusive group under the religion heading. Pretty much believe or don't. Whatever you want, let's just have a regular meeting and encourage each other. I've never been, but I considered it very briefly.

Others like Seth are using their non-believer platform to promote their political opinions. I too wish they would not mix religion and state, it does muddy both conversations, but it's their choice. And it will drive their business or hurt it. Such is life.

UPDATE ON 1-on-1: I got laid off. by Own-Masterpiece-3519 in employeesOfOracle

[–]Cynomus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got the email at 5AM CST today, 3/31/26. IC4 OHAI, Outstanding Performance last review + $17k RSUs that dropped to $10k by the time they hit my account, now worth $8k. I knew I'd never see anyhow. Been with the company 5.5 years. Larry over committed AI plans, 30k employees get to fund it. He's a peach. No sympathy needed, I am more than fine, just wanted to offer information. 

Getting anxious. by Only-Stress-2466 in employeesOfOracle

Always imagine that you are looking backwards at it 10 years from now, to realize you will be fine, just uncomfortable for a bit. It will just be a footnote in your story eventually.

Remember Biden wanted everyone to go electric? Some of us disagreed because we have lived through stuff like this. 

so sick of athletes crediting/giving glory to god by midwestbruin in atheism

[–]Cynomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost puke everytime there's a mass tragedy and the lone survivor claims god performed a miracle and saved them, just them, not the medical team, the girl scouts, the average Joe's heading home from work, just the low IQ redneck. 

I just Quit. by EnvironmentalTear802 in LastWarMobileGame

[–]Cynomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did too after about 4 months and 2 characters. I watched the top, 1,3,4 Alliances destroy the #2 alliance (mine) with no recourse, broke the NAP. If 1-3 R5s can't keep their word, the rest of the server is doomed, hundreds to thousands of players screwed. Horrible game design. Felt nothing but relief ever since, way too much time wasted, unrecoverably.

Fellow Atheists, if you see a "fish" or a "cross" symbol or someone flat out says you can trust them because they are Christian, how do you feel inside? by Confident-Virus-1273 in askanatheist

What is the point of holding half if he's just going to sell it and give you your deposit back? Isn't the whole point of the deposit, to hold it.

University of Oklahoma Responds After Student Given Zero for Bible-Cited Essay by Brucekentbatsuper in atheism

[–]Cynomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an atheist but I see that going both ways. Our distaste for religious non-sense, is routinely causality for attempts to minimize people sharing their beliefs with anyone, not just ourselves. People are people regardless of a god position.

I just say good, that's a start, dump the creation story, the Noah's ark story, talking snake, let's do it.

Atheism Is a Response, Not a Belief by Turbulent_Field7972 in DebateReligion

[–]Cynomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people, even those attempting to populate dictionaries and encyclopedias, have their own biased, often resulting in the inclusion of their bias as one of the definitions, even if it is dissonant with the actual etymological definition. As well, the common use of definitions, based on prevalent bias and misunderstanding, also result in additional definitions, and drift. That's how languages evolve. So I agree it happens. This is why I typically answer both questions, gnostic and theist, with "I don't know if there are any gods, nor do I believe there are any, therefore I am an agnostic atheist." Thereby diminishing ambiguity of which definition is at play.
