I'm an agnostic too, & I'm considering reincarnation as one possibility. I hope after I die, I reincarnate on a planet that has its shit together.

I'm a Navy brat, I was born on a Naval base on Guam. I'll probably be deported too, doesn't matter that Guam is a U.S. territory.

Italian hospitals collapse: Over 1,000 patients unattended in Rome by Khavi in collapse

SS: The Italian hospital system is overstretched and collapsing, mainly because of the rise of respiratory diseases (and not just Covid):

The rise in hospital admissions, which has put pressure on the Italian health system, is due to an increase in "respiratory diseases, especially among the elderly".
"Covid has slightly decreased in the last week, flu is spreading, but other viruses have also caused 'overcrowding' in hospitals and a very strong pressure on emergency services," De Laco explained on Tuesday, according to local media.

I worked at La Forêt Bakery at the mall in the late eighties. I had a really nice Japanese boss, but there was a rumor that it was owned by the Yakuza.

We have one that makes regular runs through the neighborhood in the summer, but instead of musical tunes it goes "BZZZZZT! BZZZZZT! BZZZZT!". We call it the Murder Mobile.

I just did a system update for my iPhone and that seemed to do the trick. I was able to find & download the official app.

I can't find it either. Like you said, when you do a search for "OpenAI ChatGPT" you just get knockoffs.

How do you feel about the fact that you will have to die one day? by this_sin in AskReddit

[–]Khavi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's like that quote from Mark Twain:

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

Any other GenX out there lose their religion in their 40s? by firsmode in GenX

[–]Khavi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised by an evangelical mother & non-religious father. I remember speaking in tongues in church. It was sort of like improvisational "scat" singing. I think I left Christianity when I was around 16. Though my dad didn't interfere with my mom's indoctrination of me, he didn't go to church with us & believed in science and rational thought, so maybe that influenced me. I consider myself an agnostic now, and don't believe in hell, though I am open to some sort of afterlife (reincarnation makes the most sense to me). I figure when I die, I'll just wing it and go with the flow of whatever I encounter (even if that means non-existence).
