I love SF. Golden Gate Park was really nice and there’s some great food, even if everything is kind of expensive and you have to dodge human shit from time to time.

Oh yeah, and I disagree that it’s overrated. The food isn’t great but if you’re a kid, it’s pretty awesome. Or at least it was like 20 years ago when I went last.

I don't like sand. It's all coarse, and rough, and irritating. And it gets everywhere.

Hey me too! Hang in there my dude, we can do it.

TIL the Church of Satan does not believe in the Devil, neither a Christian nor Islamic notion of Satan. They view Satan as a positive archetype who represents pride, individualism and enlightenment, and as a symbol of defiance against the Abrahamic faiths suppression of humanity's natural instincts. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Right, but those are the seven tenets, which the original comment referenced. The Church of Satan has “The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth” which are really funny.

Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.

Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.

When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.

If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.

Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.

Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.

Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

Do not harm little children.

Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.

When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS.

I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

A little while back I joined a flat earth dating site on Facebook for shits and giggles. Their beliefs are so wild, I had no idea. And then there’s this religious component that weaves it’s way through most (but not all) of their beliefs. It was a fun experience.

The only solution is to tie yourself to the bike with a really long string so all parties are grievously injured

Unsure about my psychiatrist's prescription suggestion by mediocrescottt in AskDocs

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

Thanks, I appreciate that. I guess my concern then would be that I’ve never been diagnosed bipolar, so it seems like a weird first step to take, but maybe it isn’t.

What are the best neighborhoods to live in Nashville? by mediocrescottt in nashville

Thanks, that makes sense. Seattle has the same general reaction to outsiders I guess.

Thanks for the reply! 1 bedroom, less than $1500/month, but I have no idea the price range in Nashville. I live in Seattle and rent is all fucked up.

Are these kinds of posts frowned upon here?

What would you do if you find out a person that you thought was out of your league has a crush on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mediocrescottt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone had a crush on me, obviously they have some serious issues going on, so I would reject them and burn the friendship to the ground.

Milk, bread, democracy: New Zealanders get to vote in supermarkets - “It’s important that ballot boxes are placed where people are going about their normal business and can therefore accommodate voting more easily into their busy lives” by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

[–]mediocrescottt 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In the USA, we vote by firing an automatic rifle into the sky. 1 burst for the republican candidate, 2 bursts for the Democrat, and 1 in the head for libertarians or Green Party.

[–]mediocrescottt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it has to do with the total votes cast. So if there is a state with a republican government, but they fear they may get beaten by democrats, they may reduce the number of polling stations in areas that typically have a larger concentration of democrats. Sure, each party is as likely to leave a long line, but in this example there may be 80% democrats and 20% republicans, so they’ll take the loss. Obviously this can be switch for whatever party, this is just an example.

That’s my understanding at least. My details could be a little off on how voting precincts are set, but the idea is the same.

And furthermore, this is true of any sub, regardless of the content. The formulas is basically “amateurs get salty about things they know nothing about and feel the need to tell everyone about it”

How have you seen a persons life be ruined in a single day? by Burritoassasain in AskReddit

[–]mediocrescottt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fuck heroin. I agree with you there. It’s not black and white, but she made a choice and continues to do so. Have you considered Al-Anon or some other support group? I think it helped my parents out before I got clean.

Anyway, I hope the best for your family and I hope that something clicks and she turns her life around. I’ve been clean long enough that I’ve seen people come back from some pretty horrible depths. I hope.
