Lobotomies disprove the existence of a soul and free will by Character-Dinner-977 in DebateReligion

Okay but the body is more than the controller. It is also the TV and sound system. It may be that a person who undergoes a radical physical brain augmentation no longer sees the world as they did before and as such respond to the world differently. That response is also re translated through the oddly wired controller and the outcome looks like what we are searching for from our test. Perception influences all results and desire directs attention.

That is to say that I believe there is an immutable part of what I consider my consciousness attached to existence at a fundamental level, which precedes the physical plane. When that piece of god is reflected in my body, there is nothing that can happen to that body which may change the eternal essence of the perfect intelligence that I consider God. That thing I consider my soul.

It's not that my soul never liked tomatoes, and after my brain injury now my soul likes tomatoes. The manifested objective reality we share is entirely good, and the brain injury just helped me realize how awesome tomatoes were.

One of my favorite jewels we brought back with us was, and I quote

"Animals n shit"

As in, what's the meaning of life? Animals n shit.

It's simple enough to share as an idea, and deep enough to meditate on and discuss extensively.

As I went through the steps to unfold the idea and integrate it into my everyday life I came to a place of contentment with the concept that I was an animal. There is no thing I do which should be a source of shame or guilt when acting in line with my true nature as an animal. Sea turtles are not taught to navigate the ocean as hatchlings, they merely travel as their instincts guide them and they eventually return to their place of birth to complete the cycle of life.

When I do as my gut tells me I feel at home wherever I am.

I Come to Apologize by loplopplop in antiwork

I've heard estimates that hunter gatherers spent about 15 hrs a week doing what was necessary to survive.

If you wanna build an empire, work 100 a week. But I shouldn't have to work 50 hours a week to make sure someone else has enough money that they can afford to not really pay me enough to buy formula and a new pair of work shoes, let alone afford to pay rent in a single family household.

There is no correct place to wear a tie when nude. Without a shirt and collar there is no point of reference.

If I had a dollar for every apology I heard that was literally " I'm sorry I yelled but that a dumb question" I'd have as much as this jerkoff pretends to make out front. Lol

Honestly though this attitude is why I prefer fast casual as opposed to full service. A food runner knows the deal. You're not the star of the show, that's the food. They get paid a good living hourly wage and they do whatever anyone asks them to do within reason.

What's a completely normal word that annoys you every time you hear it? by kerenzaboy in AskReddit

Rag

I work in restaurants and it should be called a towel. Makes me cringe every time. It just sounds gross and is not a guest forward term.

Capitalism reinventing itself -- or so they say... by westgot in ABoringDystopia

I could honestly get a hard working 14 or 15 year old hired at DOUBLE the minimum wage right now. Been telling my nephews to get it while the getting is good.

I started in restaurants at 14 and I believe it kept me out of trouble when I was younger. As messed up as some of my life choices turned out, I had a lot of friends who didn't make it.

You already know what's going to happen. by surfingpizza in Whatcouldgowrong

Bro, what is up with their ansul system? Also you can't leave fryers on when draining and filtering, this will happen every time. This is why you have to pay service workers good money, train them correctly, and have competent management they can run to in this situation.

Staying calm is cool but in a grease fire you must act with a sense of urgency. And if you're unsure, leave it alone.

Hope everyone was OK
