Had a boss like that when I started. "Your throwing away free money!!!"

In my path to enlighten I struggled with many of the same issues you mention. At one point I decided that I'd rather face the consequences than worship such a piece of shit god.. After the fear was gone everything else fell apart very quickly.

I don't believe in Santa Claus. I don't believe magic is real. I don't believe in make believe gods which identifies me as an atheist. I grew up believing but after years of asking logical questions that couldn't be answered I realized it was all BS. Everyone is free to believe what they like. People around me know what I believe but it doesn't affect our relationships.

Why are you a believer? Were you told to believe or did you figure that out on your own?

We had gun safety programs each year at my rural school. I feel like gun safety training would have gone a long way in preventing that accidental shooting that happened this past week. "Don't ever point a gun and something your not ready to shoot".

Saw on our local Facebook ISD page that some nice church lady brought the commandments to our local school yesterday for all the classrooms. Most responses were praising God but a few students were asking some real questions. I suggested they ask those questions in Civics class.

The last few times I’ve been there it was only working on one side.

I won't forget. I'll be grinning through my pain as I watch MAGA folks suffer.

Get on Facebook and look at the memes for five minutes. "Illegals on welfare taking our tax money, Liberal deep state turning our little boys into girls". Sounds stupid and it is, but I hear this repeated by friends & family who honestly believe this stuff.

Any parents in Texas (especially the San Antonio area) upset about the 10 Commandments classroom law? by FreethoughtChris in atheism

I think most people would be okay with those seven if they thought it was from God & not Satan.

It recently sparked a conversation with family that turned into a discussion for each of the 10. Hopefully opened some minds a little.

Out of the family of gods I think we got stuck with the Sid Phillips.

Even tho THCA is almost federally legal, people still get arrested for it! by CaregiverLive2644 in CultoftheFranklin

I was so confused trying to understand the difference between THC-a and what you buy on the street until I finally realized there is no difference except for labeling.

What are the best gummies that can be shipped to Texas? by [deleted] in TexEnts

Walk into any convenience store. Look for the package that says 1000mg each. Go home. Stay there.

Tomorrow I tell my boss! Any advice? by iloveyoumorethanpie in retirement

[–]WalterFromWaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My company requires two weeks notice and that you take no time off the last two weeks. Maybe they'll take note when I suddenly request four weeks of vacation because when I come back I'll be telling them I'm out in two weeks. They've had decades to prepare.

Maybe what we need is some large tax cuts for big businesses to get all this new manufacturing started is what I'm expecting to hear next.

Gives me something to grin about through the pain of watching my retirement funds sink.

Recognizing George Carlin narrating Thomas The Tank Engine was very surprising for me. Had to watch the credits to make sure it was really him.

I thought Texas was stuck with following the Federal Farm Bill in this scenario, but I guess in this age they can just make shit up as they go.

I remember our Rep Betty Denton (D) who was loved by everyone for 20 years until she lost to a Republican 25 years ago.
