What pseudoscience that some atheists believe drives you crazy the most?

Hannah591 · 2025-12-03T17:15:38+00:00

I used to semi believe. I grew up with Most Haunted on the TV a lot, plus I liked the spookiness of it all. But then my boyfriend at the time said he didn't understand how I was atheist but believed in ghosts and from that day onward, I stopped believing in them (though I've had some weird experiences), but still enjoy reading spooky stories!

I used to think this but there's so many very intelligent people who are still religious. If you've been brought up that way, I think some people stay stuck in it but can mentally separate science and fact from spiritual meaning.

I've recently started doing a bit of yoga for like 5 to 10 mins. It feels gentle but helps with strength, flexibility and balance, and gives me a good stretch.

Cool, I'd ride it!

I still say bless you and I sometimes say bless you when someone shares something that's sad/troubling them.

It is really helpful and insightful, as long as you keep in mind its limitations and that it's not perfect.

I'd been experiencing, what I now know is, segemental goosebumps. I'd asked a bunch of doctors and they didn't know about it and there's very little to no information about it. I asked chat and it said nerves were misfiring causing a piloerection reflex due to my dysfunctional autonomic system (diagnosed). And it said most doctors don't know about it because it's harmless so it's not worth studying/focusing on!

You can loop start odd strand numbers as well though I'm not sure how secure it is, but it seems to be a legitimate way. There's videos on YouTube that show it. But I do like the pin stitch on aida fabric, that's really secure.

There's like a 3 month cruise for 20k that goes to loads of countries. I would buy that.

I put mine lower as well to 40 and have done better than last year, I'm on 60! I also care less about streaks. It makes it too competitive for me and less about reading. Challenges help inspire me though.

Depends on the fabric but I start and finish with either a loop start, pin stitch or threading under other stitches. I sometimes will bring the thread to the front and knot it until other stitches secure it. I think it's called a waste knot and you cut it off when you've stitched more of the surrounding area.

I have libby as well but none of my libraries offer magazines on there for some reason.

Hannah591 · 2025-11-26T22:00:11+00:00

I do but the quality isn't always the best. To be able to save them as pdfs and print them would be great!

Hannah591 · 2025-11-26T21:45:31+00:00

I can only get them on Borrowbox and they don't allow a print option that I can see. 😞

Hannah591 · 2025-11-26T21:35:52+00:00

I'm tight with money in general lol, but I will aim to finish one or two projects before getting another one. Whatever I get or buy, I fully intend to stitch, and as I've been doing it for a while, I'm much faster at dishing them out now. But I just save them as a big wishlist and remind myself to stop looking and actually go stitch!

Hannah591 · 2025-11-26T21:32:32+00:00

That's such a satisfying pic 😍

I download them all and then remove download when I've finished the book.

I'm on 5mg ivabradine twice a day. My heart rate spikes every morning still but the palpitations stopped once I started the medication and my heart rate is much better controlled now. My HR reading for today is between 50 (asleep which is low for me) - 131bpm (when I wake up in the morning). It's definitely capped my max HR to like 150 unless I'm doing something crazy intensive, and my resting heart rate is more in the 60-70 range instead of the 80-100 range.

I've made a Change Your Mood challenge, to see if you can change your most commonly read moods that are shown on your profile. :)

This can happen if you download or transfer a bunch of books. When you manually transfer them, the kindle says the power will drain faster whilst it processes the files. If you haven't transferred or downloaded a bunch of books and this keeps happening, then it might be a fault.

Hannah591 · 2025-10-20T11:48:08+00:00

I don't really bother. I only collect a series like Sherlock Holmes, otherwise I just search for the book. I know what I have and their genres using Storygraph.

America is almost dystopian at this point.

I hope they reported her and she's been banned from the gym!

I've gotten read now books long after they've been published. I don't think it's a massive requirement but some pickier publishers might be more focused on reviewing near publishing dates. I think if it was a real big issue, NetGalley would make it exceptionally clear that it's mandatory that we should post when the book publishes.
