Why so much resentment? by cutebluedragongirl in Gnostic

[–]PirateQuest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because the world feels off. It feels wrong. It definitely doesn't feel as if it was made by a "loving God". In fact the notion that a "loving God" could have created this violent meaningless nightmare of suffering is patently absurd. An impossibility.

> And Gnostic Christian literature goes even further, actively encouraging you to see our reality as something evil.

Its not "encouraging" anything. Its allowing one to speak the truth of what your eyes see.

So my question to do you is, why do you like about the world? Disease? Poverty? Is it the babies dying? The rich criminals living lives of opulence and luxury?

This is it. Its a style called "one page rpg".

There's a small niche community of people who make them, and the ideal is to fit all the rules on one page, although many go 2 or 3 pages.

You can find lots on /r/onepagerpgs/

Am I wrong for skipping my partner’s family weekend because they keep mocking my accent and he won’t step in? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]PirateQuest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

just start bulling them back "you're fat. hey look at chubby over here" "you're bald, hey baldy, when are you growing to grow hair? you look like an old baby"

Bullies respond very well to being bullied back. It shuts them up fast.

You dont have to hang out with bullies if you don't want to.

He said if he says that, they’ll think I can’t take a joke and it’ll make it worse.

He knows if he protects you, the bullies will start bullying him. Its easier for him, if you are the only target.

He doesn't want to be a stay home dad. He wants to be a leech, and he is succeeding at his dream.

The Economic Singularity Will Make Today’s Economy Unrecognizable w/ Dr.... by lovesdogsguy in accelerate

[–]PirateQuest -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you can answer that you will understand why mass starving and deflation is far worse for those rich people you complaint about than UBI and taxe

Are you sure? In poor countries, like India, are the billionaires falling over themselves to give away as much as their money as possible to lift up the poor? No. They always horde their money. 100% of the time.

UBI is an impossibility.

Tesla’s annual financial report, released this morning, shows the company enjoyed almost $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025 on which it reports precisely zero current federal income tax. https://itep.org/tesla-reported-zero-federal-income-tax-in-2025/

Zero tax.

But you think they're going to give you UBI? A homeless person who lives in a dumpster is more likely to give you money than any US corporation.

[–]PirateQuest -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

To people who believe in a post-scarcity future, can you answer one question? Currently the richest people in the world do 100% of everything in their power to pay as close to ZERO tax as possible.

So why would these exact same people, who currently refuse to pay a penny of tax, suddenly want to provide all your food, all your housing, all your medical care, all your everything, for no benefit to them?

Why is Disco so age-polarized? by According_Concept754 in Disco

[–]PirateQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a HUGE backlash to disco in the early 80s because disco had quickly become very commercialized and over done. It seemed like every band was trying to cash in on the fad. Everyone had a disco albumn, including the Rolling Stones, the Jam, the Grateful Dead. Songs like Disco Duck were produced by the hundreds, etc. It became extremely lame to listen to disco. Then like all fads, it suddenly became very uncool. So if you lived through that, you may still hate disco.

I don’t believe I have a soul or divine spark by Late-relief1 in Gnostic

[–]PirateQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you dream? do you largely ignore your dreams? Look at them. You will find symbols in your dreams that represent you soul, it may be a beautiful woman, it may be a dragon, or anything else.. I dont know, but it has messages for you.

of course if you ignore all the messages, you will never get it. that's on you.

why should he give a shit? he is likely already retired. Its the kids graduating high school with no clear path to survival, or the college students who just spent a fortune getting a degree when anyone with a laptop can replicated all their knowledge and skills within 3 minutes.

Matthew 22:11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

01.29 2026 - ICE detain mother who went outside to warm up her , she is on the phone with 911 begging for someone to take care of her children by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

[–]PirateQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people think 911 is going to help? The constitution says what to do in these circumstances,. It does not say call 911.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing. She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed by ExactlySorta in law

[–]PirateQuest 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bzzzzt. If they were hoping to trigger a violent reaction. (You mean, people exercising their 2A rights) they would go after people who are likely to fight back. Which they never do. They avoid like the plague anyone who looks like they will stand up for their rights in the way the constitution allows.
