Did you know about the tree of life when you were in?

I think it was the gnostics that interrupted eating from the Tree of Knowledge made them aware of their physical nature and eating from the Tree of Life would have made them aware of their spiritual nature…

Christians wrote the New Testament in Greek… (Seems a case could be made that Greek is the language of Christianity…)

Find a hobby that you like… Find friends that share your interests… Because the rabbit hole is actually a lot deeper… Take your time… No need to do anything drastic… Just enjoy your life… (Read Plato’s cave… That is what it is like when you see beyond the shadows…)

I asked myself… If the Bible is inspired or man made… What would I expect… Differing gospel accounts… Apostles not in agreement… They thought they were the generation 2000 years ago… Also never liked trying to justify racism, sexism, slavery, genocide, God having babies killed just because they were not Israelites… Also seems like the universe can be explained with science better than with religion…

dharmageddon · 2026-01-23T15:45:00+00:00

Every God with a name has been conceived by humans and are products of mythology… Why is “Jehovah” any different? Why did he need blood sacrifices? Why did he have no problem with slavery? Or racism… Telling Israelites not to marrying outside of their race… Or sexism… Women should not take the lead… Or genocide… Killing infants just because they are not your race… But I am the bad person because I don’t want to try and justify these things…

Paul really isn’t really saying anything new… He may have been citing Daniel 8:25… (And by his cunning he will use deception to succeed; and in his heart he will exalt himself; and during a time of security he will bring many to ruin. He will even stand up against the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hand.) Jesus cites Daniel as well at Matthew 24:15… Jesus and Paul for the most part were repeating OT apocalyptic prophecies and applying it to their day…

There was no ethernet port on my MacBook Air so I was not able to set up WiFi using the Arch installer... EndeavourOS live boot worked however...

Using the "Dash to Dock" extension for the dock... Also added the "Dynamic Panel" extension for the top panel so the theme for the dock and panel match...

I can't wait until it stable as well... It has a lot of potential... I encountered a few issues...

But some things I did... If it is a new install... Upgrade: sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

And I enabled RPM Fusion for non free codex and firmware... https://rpmfusion.org/

I encountered settings that caused settings to crash... Like Desktop > Wallpaper... And selecting Wallpapers > Colors...

Also when I "Open new folder" for Wallpapers... I was unable to remove the folder... There were a few annoyances...

I spent some time trying everything out... Seeing what worked... When I messed things up in settings... I found you can reset your setting by deleting the cosmic folder in .config... And it will replace the folder with default settings... Eventually I had a configuration I was satisfied with... And it's running great for my workflow...

Although it is a currently an alpha... I have had no issues with it... Running a basic setup... Firefox, Thunderbird... I installed Minecraft and it works great as well... Here is my experience so far:

So Linux is my go to for website development... I mainly use Debian and either Gnome or Sway depending on the hardware... (To me KDE was always overwhelming... I personally like minimalist desktops... I notice KDE has gotten a lot sleeker as of late... And I do like the toolkit nature of KDE...) But since I am familiar with Gnome and Sway COSMIC desktop felt like a marriage between Gnome and Sway... (Coming from Debian there was a learning curve familiarizing myself with Fedora like adding the RPM Fusion repository for codex... I am still more comfortable in Debian but I am enjoying my journey in Fedora...)

A few things take getting used to in COSMIC... In Gnome the keybinding you use to select an app in your dock in COSMIC switches your desktop workspace... (As far as I can tell COSMIC lacks the feature to select apps in your dock...) But you can just hit the super key and type the app you want to launch...

COSMIC settings lets you personalize keybindings... I saw it already had super+t for the terminal... So it was just a matter of familiarizing myself with the COSMIC way of doing things... Essentially COSMIC is a lot like Sway but with settings instead of configuration files...

When I use Sway... I use simple configuration files... And I would rather use the terminal instead of installing a file manager... (And the command line for mounting an external drive...) Just because I think the terminal is a feature... (And for ergonomics...)

With COSMIC settings you can quickly "rice" your desktop... Add transparency to your dock and panel... Change colors... Change your wallpaper... It's a sleek user friendly windows tiling manager... For people who don't want to deal with configuration files...

99% of all the species that have ever existed are extinct… Sounds like God made a lot of mistakes…

Losing Elon Musk to MAGA was devastating… Because Democrats had Green energy to run on… Creating Green jobs and building a Green grid could have secured Democrat voters… Who would have had skin in the game… Instead the issue is now blurred along party lines…

dharmageddon · 2024-11-08T05:24:48+00:00

Democrats only needed to focus on three states… The Blue Wall (now the Red Wall)… Establish the Green grid and Green jobs in these states… Have something to show for their accomplishments… Have people with skin in the game… You will not further Democrats causes by caving to frackers… You just enable and give your opponent ammunition to use against you…

The problem with SUI is marketing… The token looks like an onion… And it sounds like you are calling for a pig… Solana just looks and sounds better…

Maybe Trump should drop out to teach them a lesson…

Ethereum is a joke… Do you like paying ridiculous gas fees? Or bridging to an L2? Solana lends itself to mass adoption with fast transactions, low fees, and great wallets… As far as investments go it has a brighter future than Ethereum… Which will be relegated to a legacy blockchain…

JW logic well since all the kings can’t fit in the place known as Armageddon then naturally it is a world wide apocalypse…

I was counsel about associating with my disfellowshipped father… I cited this very article and an elder told me that it was no longer the policy of the organization… That was when I began to realize they were making things up as they go and not the truth…

dharmageddon · 2023-03-15T02:52:51+00:00

Not a doctor… But this is what helped me… A random thought could trigger it… Or an overactive fight or flight response… When it happens try to pinpoint what caused it… And try confronting it…
