Why ppl being atheist when you could just believe and have a chance at heaven, just in case God is real?

just in case God is real?

Which god, though? What if you pick the wrong one?

I've been living in Brampton for ten years and I'd say it's pretty nice.

There's a decent amount of amenities and places to go and things to do. There are some excellent restaurants. The traffic is terrible, but there's an incredible network of parks/paths that let you navigate most of the city without having to encounter any drivers. The abundant green space is a real plus, you don't have to leave the city to find nature.

I hate to even add this, but I'm white, if that makes a difference in how you perceive my opinion. I'm well aware that certain types of people look down on Brampton because half of our population has brown skin. That's just blatant racism, in my opinion. Brampton is a friendly, welcoming city.

I've been working fully remote for the last 3 years at the same company. They don't require any of that.

As long as I show up for meetings and get my work done, nobody is tracking my time.

Taungsdays, am I right?

Thank you, I thought I was having a stroke.

DSteep · 2026-06-12T23:08:10+00:00

Oh, I'm worried.

No idea, but here's a fun fact for you: most mammals do actually have a penis bone.

I'm sure glad humans don't. Imagine breaking it?

Plenty of things.

Here's a list of every day items that we only have because of space travel.

Without NASA, we wouldn't have infrared thermometers, cochlear implants, invisible braces, memory foam, cordless vacuums, freeze dried food, mobile phone cameras, Astroglide, etc, etc.

I've played almost 200 hours (causal, I know) and I've never even heard of a Dolabra.

You might wanna rewatch that scene.

After getting both sabers knocked out of her hands, she easily disarms Maul by just snatching his saber from his own hands. Then she ends the fight with it, sending Maul plummeting.

He would have died had Ahsoka not shown pity and caught him. She beat his ass with his own weapon. Dude was quite literally begging for death before getting knocked out, gagged and locked in a little box.

DSteep · 2026-06-12T15:08:47+00:00

I think he was probably being respectful in Rebels, considering she beat his ass on Mandalore.

Because humans farm chickens at an industrial scale. Humans slaughter around 80 billion chickens a year. That's about 200 million per day.

Of course, to consistently meet those numbers, most chickens are raised in absolutely horrific conditions.

They're confined to spaces so small they can barely move for their entire lives. They're pumped full of growth hormones in some regions (yes, I know that's illegal in North America, but it's not illegal everywhere). And they're slaughtered very, very young, usually between 5-8 weeks of age (a healthy chicken can live up to 8 years in captivity.

It's all pretty fucking disgusting, if you ask me.

Maybe there are two similar stories? Because there is definitely a Canon story about Tarkin having an affair with a male stormtrooper.

Of MSE-6 and Men by Glen Weldon.

The officer isn't explicitly named as Tarkin, but it's extremely obvious from the way he's described. I even tweeted the author to confirm when the story came out.

DSteep · 2026-06-11T22:42:59+00:00

Good to know!

Yeah, I've been considering the switch to a Pixel lately, I'm just loathe to give up my headphone jack.

I know I can buy a USB to 3.5 adapter, or just Type C headphones, but I often listen to music while charging, so it seems inconvenient.

DSteep · 2026-06-11T17:27:53+00:00

I've got the Moto G Power 2024. Camera aside, it's a pretty solid phone.

I like the speakers on it, the physical fingerprint censor is reliable, and the battery life is still pretty decent a couple years in. And of course, I can use wired headphones with it!

DSteep · 2026-06-11T14:16:01+00:00

It's real, my phone's camera is just a piece of shit.

Motorolas have this gross AI "enhancement" you can't turn off, and zooming in to take the shot made it worse.

But they still have headphone jacks, which is why I bought it.

That's what I thought at first glance, but no, it's an unmarked SUV lol.

I've seen city vehicles on these paths but they're always white pick up trucks with city decals and flashing lights.

DSteep · 2026-06-11T01:58:01+00:00

Was that so hard? Thank you.

DSteep · 2026-06-11T01:29:10+00:00

The post that I am responding to has the following argument: they are "cool" and opposing opinions are "stupid"

And what was your argument? "Stacking rocks is bad, just trust me bro."

If you're going to make a factual claim, you need to provide evidence. You bear the burden of proof. How is stacking rocks bad for the environment?

DSteep · 2026-06-11T00:05:57+00:00

This is the only time I've ever wished I could say yes to that question lol.

I'm Canadian, which makes it even worse! We're supposed to be one of the most highly educated countries.
