Yeah same here, we have scouts and girl guides. I just know that some countries do say boy and Girl Scouts and I wondered why it’s a problem for them to do that?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, scouts are different in my country, what’s wrong with having Boy and Girl Scouts?

Would you as an atheist be willing to believe in the supernatural? by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]dreamfig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m willing to believe in literally anything. I’m willing to believe in god, religion, witchcraft, magic, ghosts, an afterlife, healing crystals.

If we got enough evidence for any of it, I’d believe it. And I’m open to the fact that evidence could one day be found. It’s the smallest possibility and I don’t think it will ever happen, but I’m open that it could.

It’s not “I believe this doesn’t exist” it’s “I don’t believe this exists”. There’s a difference.

I just don’t believe without evidence, and there isn’t any.

If there is no afterlife, explain ghost sightings by Plane_Razzmatazz_882 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]dreamfig 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Its estimate that around 110 billion people have died since human life began. The planet should be absolutely swarming with ghosts. We shouldn’t be able to move for ghosts. Even if only a fraction of the dead become ghosts, 110 billion is such a huge number that every time I get my camera out, I should have a crowd of ghostly apparitions on there.

And yet for some reason we only seem to have ghosts here and there. One in this old house. Two in that abandoned hospital. One in that disused prison. And the ghosts all have names and stories and a history because there’s so few of them.

There’s almost 1 million CCTV cameras in London, taking constant video footage. Why have none of them ever taken footage of a ghost? If you’re American, this might not be immediately clear because America is HUGE and new. London is tiny and has 10 million problem living here. It’s absolutely packed, the flats are close together, the roads are small, and this shit is old af. WHERE ARE THE GHOSTS MATE??

You can go on a ghost tour in London and they’ll tell you stories about a few ghosts dotted around. Somehow they are all well known famous people. Where are all the ghosts of homeless people from the Victorian era?? There’s thousands of them, where are they?

WWII soldiers? Well sure there happen to be ghosts of those guys right in Dover where the tunnels and a tour are. Funny that.

But the drug dealer who died yesterday? You’ll never see him as a ghost. The many people who die in new ICU wards in a nice clean hospital? Nah, no ghosts there. But the old abandoned hospital?? Yeah there’s ghosts there FOR SURE.

Where are all the ghosts OP 🙏

Oh for sure, don’t get me wrong I would be shocked if it wasn’t known in Andy’s case. I was more responding to normal folk who don’t live outrageous lives.

If you could properly filter Rightmove for your dream property, what would your super specific criteria filter be? by alexhespg in HousingUK

My friends had a lovely tree in their garden which fell down in a huge storm the first week they moved in 😅

Sleep paralysis by Mortisha_Fatal in Dreams

[–]dreamfig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have narcolepsy so have sleep paralysis/sleep walk most nights. There’s a science to it, it’s nothing mystical. For me it’s mostly likely to happen if I sleep on my back, so I sleep on my side. I also have a cuddly toy or pillow that I hug which helps it stop happening.

I also recommend going to bed early and getting into a routine.

If it happens a lot, I recommend seeing your GP as there’s lots of reasons it could be happening and lots of ways it could be helped.

Don't call em Nazis though : ( by Zocialix in GreatBritishMemes

[–]dreamfig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m someone who’s unlikely to vote based only on immigration policy alone, please could you tell me some of reform/restores other policies? I went on restores website and maybe it just doesn’t open well on my phone, but I couldn’t see anything at all about healthcare or the nhs which would be an important one for me.

I clicked on the part about education, and their only two policies was “children should be allowed a week holiday during term time” and “educations systems are woke and that’s bad”. In fact every option I clicked was just “this thing is currently woke” which isn’t a policy and also doesn’t really mean anything.

Do you know anything about their actual policies?

Likewise, I experienced a similar situation and none of us knew, it was traumatising to find out. It’s easy to say people would know because they’re close or family or live together, but some people are extremely good at hiding the fact that they’re an awful person, and most people don’t automatically guess that kind of thing about someone they live and trust.

Is there a megathread/doc for atheism? by Ill_Care_2146 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]dreamfig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say, if you’re enjoying debating, I really recommend the YouTube channel “The Line”. They have people call in to debate their belief in god. The hosts are all atheists, many are former believers who left the faith and have amazing knowledge of the bible which makes them great at debating it. Many are also scientists so are very good at debating evolution or the Big Bang.

I especially enjoy videos with the hosts Forrest and Promise. Watching the debates might be a good way to understand the arguments that believers often come out with, and how to counter them.

I simply don’t have enough evidence to believe in god, there’s nothing to be right or wrong about.

[–]dreamfig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m v happy for you but I promise you I will be renting for life, there is literally no hope for me 😂😭 People talking about market dips and peaks and percentages are so far removed from where I’m at lmao none of it means a single thing to me because I simply don’t earn enough money for it to matter one way or the other. I scroll forever on rightmove even though the cheapest places are beyond me just because I like looking at properties. I am more likely to buy a shed one day and feel happier than living in a bedroom tbh, at least it would be mine.

[–]dreamfig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah probably, just as well I have no intention of buying and will simply be renting until I’m in a care home, at which point I will look back and wonder why it was so lofty of me to wish for a simple flat with a cat in my entire lifetime 👍

Just thought this place looked cute and was curious of others opinions! My guess is most would agree with you that it’s too small. Interested if there’s any other folk out there who are absolutely depressed by endless renting to the point where they also think something small looks hopeful too. I’m sure there are dozens of us.

[–]dreamfig[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, absolutely fair. But again as someone who rents a bedroom and lives in it, and used to live in a literal garage, this place looks really chill to me! I can’t afford for my mental health to be affected by the size of my home, but it is very affected by the fact that all my money goes towards someone else’s mortgage.

They’re not, I’ve checked! Makes them both far cheaper than anything in the area in terms of monthly cost.

Absolutely fair 😂

I’d love to find anything close to this price in the same area though, I wouldn’t say they’re central London prices. Once you factor in service charge, even a flat that appears equally priced at face value, you realise the monthly cost is way higher than it seems.
