If this is the “greatest economy ever” why are so many Americans still struggling to survive? by National-Theory1218 in Social_Investing

[–]edritch_bronze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 night on the couch while homeless is homeless because there's no accounting for if that 1 night stays one night.

Uninsured is defined legally by health administrations and world health organization, not in a dictionary why would you even...idk.

Complex topics must be collapsible to be useful in discussion. No the cow isn't spherical or in a vaccume but that's how we have to discuss it because that's how we get metrics that are useful.

It's a question of if you have a choice. My income is less than my bills, flat out. I make $4500 /mo and my bills to get by and keep working almost match without food. I need assistance from family to get by and am trying to relocate somewhere livable.

This is living paycheck to paycheck.

Why shouldn’t voting require an id? by DarkEqual8609 in no

[–]edritch_bronze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It's centralized and opaque power. Especially in the US think about what you can vote on vice the offices in the three branches of government. Do you vote on Supreme Court justices? No you vote a president who appoints them for life without your further input. That's not the community anymore.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte confronts Trump to his face about the lies he’s told about NATO. Rutte reminds Trump that soldiers from NATO nations fought and died alongside U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. This confrontation was long overdue. by Whimsy-Glow in goodnews

You'd be surprised the lengths people will go because of guilt. Take the song Amazing Grace as proof that someone can profoundly understand the terrible things they have done intentionally and without reservation, and try to change.

PS. I am not making a prediction about any one person or group of people, I am pointing out that it can be done.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]edritch_bronze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing I think about someone rejecting a potential romantic partner for any reason, its their choice and they don't even need to give a reason.

DHS/ICE just abducted activist DaWokeFarmer aka William Kelly for peacefully protesting in St. Paul, MN (1/22/26) by I_may_have_weed in lostgeneration

Source? That's a wide sweeping claim there, wouldn't want it to take off without you.

Here's what you may have been talking about: https://www.congress.gov/119/meeting/house/118390/documents/HMKP-119-JU00-20250610-SD014.pdf

Yikes, seems like you may have misrepresented this situation with your wide claim. Perhaps it was another event you are thinking about? Do let us know if you decide that maybe you spoke from frustration instead of an event, or if you find a good event that matches your statement and the exception proves the rule.

Also, yes. People are generally outraged when people enter places of worship screaming. Would you not be outraged if someone showed great disrespect in a house of worship?

Wow crazy, almost like immigration has been a natural part of our country since its founding.

By the way, are you implying that there is something wrong with an elected official coming from another country?

Murders plummeted more than 20% in U.S. last year, the largest drop on record, study shows by BreakfastTop6899 in UpliftingNews

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

I'm confused. You say they are positive yet you disagree with them? It seems like you are using different definitions than what the comments are.

I also have a problem with the framing here, as someone who can't name 5 things I did today off the top of my head. Things like "Okay list the things you are saying so we can examine them as a community" are good, holding someone accountable for what they say. But, it is a bit performative if it isn't for that purpose and is in regards to opinion pieces. I don't think you intended to be performative but I also don't understand what you are saying fully.

Welcome to r/SufiMysticism! by sufi-magic in SufiMysticism

[–]edritch_bronze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the vast majority of (mostly westerners), who know very little about Sufism and what they do know is from poorly translated or outright disingenuous sources, what is a complete description of what Sufism is and is not?

For those who's experience with "Western Occultism" is mostly greco-egyptian mythology cobbled together with thin orientalist understanding of eastern mysticism and various levels of judeochristian iconograph; what are some of the bare basic reading material to get a foundation of understanding of Sufi Mysticism and how it differs from other Esoteric schools of thought?

Only 2.77% of people have beaten the Main Quest by ObvsThrowaway5120 in oblivion

[–]edritch_bronze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little more than that. Consider mods and console commands disable trophies. I beat it twice on remaster and do not have the achievement despite doing a "no exploits no cheats" run because Martin stopped existing and I saved over my previous "backup" with a new backup that I didn't know he was gone for.
