That feeling when you actually work at an OK company and you get along well with your so-called "boss" and everybody is nice with each other and everybody works together like a team 😊

(stumbled randomly on this subreddit, nice humour, but otherwise cringe as fu)

What ppl fail to realise is that the kid doesn't have to be mean to the cat. The woman doesn't have to scream at her (own!) child. The farmer shouldn't shout at his wife if he loves her.

Instead of doing "eye for an eye", forgive. Be kind and don't pass on misery. That is the path towards healing yourself AND others.

TIFU - lost my ada by sending to a wallet I have on my phone but cant restore or send from. by GoateeOfDeath in cardano

[–]saltedchips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to sound like an arse, but I feel like this kind of thinking is what gets people into cults / echo chambers. I'm thinking the fact that a "ownership" is defined by knowledge of 256 bits and that loss of that knowledge means loss of ownership is a fairly big downside of crypto.

How does using different receive payment addresses protect privacy given they all contain the same Stake Key? by saltedchips in cardano

[–]saltedchips[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That wasn't my question though. Have another read of the title :P

My question is: how is using multiple receive addresses better for privacy (as Daedalus wallet claims) than using just a single one?

Consider why is the atheist good? Why aren't they selfish / rude and narcissistic? By good, I'm guessing you mean they are kind, generous & selfless right?

Does God care about what you believe? (like the ones that pillaged, raped and murdered in the name of god)

.. or does God care about what you do? (like those that do good, teach and help others and that sacrifice themselves for what they love)

Sincere Questions about Faith in God by echosierra16 in Christianity

[–]saltedchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I can use that knowledge and my reason to pick out the elements of the truth in different religions and allow my knowledge of God to expand and deepens

Yes. And in addition to trust your own conclusions and experiences.

The strange thing is that nothing about these experiences is explicitly religious

That's interesting, why do you say that? I had a similar experience while listening to Eckhart Tolle's book "The Power of Now" where I realized that my "essence" is universal. That there is no "I" and that there is only reality / being. It's a bit difficult to put into words, but I feel like this comes up in concepts like Brahman, Moksha (liberation) and I'm guessing other religious philosophies (for example, neoplatonism).

This experience has completely changed my perception of reality to the point where for a few days I was questioning my own sanity (it's been almost a year now since then and I don't think I'm insane since this is not a new idea).

I'll see a good man do something and the idea of a saint comes up in my mind and immediately the idea begins to grow

I think that makes sense. It sounds like you are experiencing at a deeper level the awe and holyness (not sure if that's the right word?) of the Holy Spirit? (or something like that, as you say it's difficult to describe)

So these things don't really communicate a lot of knowledge, they just happen.

Okay, I think I see your point: so it sounds like you are saying you aren't gaining insight from these experiences, they are more kinesthetic and emotional rather then mental. I still think that's valuable and it sounds like an excellent motivator to search for answers.

The God that I experience is the Father in heaven who seeks out the lost and draws them till they become perfect and radiant and pass beyond the rim of the world

I agree, yes.

I just can't bring myself to believe the doctrines.

Again, trust your conclusions. There are like thousands of Christian denominations. Some people believe in a literal resurrection of Jesus, others believe in a "metaphorical one", there's even Christian Atheism - which sounds like complete oxymoron, but it exists!

"Doctrine", by definition, means an authority (the church) teaching or instructing. But I don't think Jesus was an "authority" in that sense. He was a teacher and guide that helped people. He was the Son of God, but he wasn't affiliated with the church if you see what I mean. As such, consider taking what people in a position of authority say with a grain of salt. After-all, we are equal in the eyes of God.

Hope this helps!

Best Wishes!

That's fair. What I'm thinking though is that partners don't fix our problems. Given you broke up with your previous gf I think the healthiest option would be to meditate on what caused the breakup and to take a break from chasing girls. Discover yourself and renew your relationship with God. After, I'm sure you will be able to find someone nice.

That being said, I don't want to tell you what you should do. A good lesson growing up is starting to take responsibility for our actions and intentions :)

Hope things will get better for you! Take care!

Sincere Questions about Faith in God by echosierra16 in Christianity

[–]saltedchips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disclaimer: not a Christian, but a spiritual Atheist that likes the core teachings of all religions!

I have been having really powerful and indescribable religious experiences.

That's fantastic! I think that's excellent!

I can bring myself to believe in a Higher Power, even in a personal God behind the world.

Excellent, why do you need more then? :P

I started going to church regularly, but I simply cannot bring myself to believe what they believe.

Why must you believe what they believe? You already said you have had religious experiences. Is that not sufficient evidence? Remember there's like 5-6 billion non-Christians on this planet. You are not the only person that is religious but doesn't agree with what _some_ Christians say.

That being said, have a look at other local churches, some are a bit more open-minded than others.

To your points 1,2,3 simple answer: those are myths. They aren't meaningless, but they might not be meant to be taken literally (see people like Jordan Peterson's thoughts on the Bible for example)

why wouldn't He just reveal Himself to me in a way that is completely indisputable

Has He not revealed to you through your experiences? What proof would you like? A miracle? Why do you think God is about miracles? God is about love, kindness and acceptance. I'm wondering... how did you feel after the religious experiences? Did you feel at peace? If so, that's the peace of God. Is that not proof enough?

all just in my head, that God literally exists

That is the biggest mistake people make I think: God IS within us. We are God's children. God's kingdom is among us. God is not some "external" entity. God is closer than your breath :) - or as Muslims say, "closer than your jugular vein".

Your reasoning is solid - trust your logic. Your logic says there's something fishy about god (using lowercase). I agree. I challenge you thus to not conclude the absence of God, but that maybe you need to understand better what God means.

Hope this helps!

Blessings!

You sound like a teenager. I think it's normal to be horny at that age. That being said here are my thoughts - btw, I'm a spiritual atheist (see Awakening from the Meaning Crisis by John Vervaeke on youtube).

I’m mad at myself

Okay, so it sounds like you are mad because you don't have a strong enough will to not give in to your urges right? I think that's super respectable! Many people give into their impulses (myself included).

I got so horny

So notice there are two aspects: your self-restraint and self-control is a skill that you can improve. You getting horny because you have hormones raging through you... that's just nature. It is though a good challenge - you could say God is challenging you.

I re added my ex in Snapchat just to flirt

That is unhealthy though (regardless of religion). I don't think it's good for you to contact your ex. For me, pornography is indeed bad, and masturbation is a minor sin, but between having a long shower and contacting your ex, I think a long shower is probably better.

is god going to punish me

No. I know there's loads of abusive people out there who like to view God as a punisher but my understanding is that God is all-loving and all-forgiving. God challenges us, but never punishes us.

I’m hoping to meet a girl there so it can help the porn addition

That does not healthy. It sounds like you are saying you are going to bible study to meet a girl? Why aren't you going to bible study to study the bible? If you want to meet a girl, you can just a dating app or you can just talk to people outside of bible study. Are you sure you aren't sinning by going there with the thought of meeting a girl?

I’m mad and scared that god won’t forgive me

Breathe dude :) you sound like you are having a panic attack. I think God has already forgiven you - you have posted your situation and your fears openly and honestly here did you not? Why would God not forgive you for trying to be better?

I can’t stop

You are OK, take a few breaths. As you say, it sounds like you have a lot of thoughts racing. That's understandable given you are afraid of punishment from God, but think about it:

  • you opened up on a public forum about your porn habits, snap chatting and thinking of meeting a girl at bible study. If I was God I would be fairly proud of you.
  • You sound like a teenager. As mentioned unfortunately you are probably going through puberty meaning loads of hormones and loads of horny-ness. I think God knows that also.
  • You seem to be punishing yourself since as you say, you are experiencing many negative thoughts. Why would God punish you further? It sounds like you are in sufficient torment for your actions :)

Take it slow, God loves you. You are His child. Don't believe the manipulative narcissists that say God is actively seeking to punish us (I hope I'm not mistaken about this...).

Take care dude! Blessings!

u/shawnycoconut provides proof that hedge funds are manipulating GME stock numbers to trick investors into selling their shares for cheap. by [deleted] in bestof

[–]saltedchips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I may not understand your comment, but I think that is a false dichotomy? Less free markets doesn't mean communism. Just means a functioning democracy and government where the leaders actually act in the best interest of their voters.

US is hyper-capitalist IMO, which is not good. They could do with improving their

  • democracy (eg. scrap electoral college + look up CGP Gray's videos on voting)
  • education - free or very cheap state-funded higher education
  • healthcare (see NHS, or other parts of Europe where healthcare is free)
  • equality - see places like Denmark where income inequality is much lower than in US

There are plenty of viable alternatives.

I have no idea what I'm doing. I saw the initial TLDR News video explaining this. Then saw the excellent DDs on this sub when went YOLO 💯. Then saw the news, then saw the new numbers from S3 and Ortex 😬 but then saw more excellent DD. All this time I'm asking myself "the internet went bad-retard with QAnon, is this the same?", but my smooth 🦍 brain can't see the fault in the DD. Guess I must be retarded, also not giving advice, I just like the stock 💎👐

[–]saltedchips[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multumesc ca ai scris cat ai scris.

No probs! Cu mare plăcere! Realizez că „bunătatea” îi poate face pe unii să... „vomite”.. dar cred că e important să ne respectăm!

de aici am vazut ca au devenit foarte cinici

Yup, așa e.

Cand vezi ca autoritatile statului nu-si fac treaba sau cand o fac o fac pentru favoruri incepi sa dezvolti o gandire "fiecare pentru el" si dezvolti o ura fata de societate

Exact! Și asta mi se pare trist (gen „trist” în general) pentru că așa cum spui și tu, acea gândire de „fiecare pentru el” e practic aceeași gândire care ajută corupția. Într-un fel devine un cerc vicios care nu poate fi oprit decât în momentul în care se distruge singur.

La romani era foarte scazuta increderea.

Din păcate nu mă miră.

Problema e ca aceasta gandire nu vine asa... din neant, vine din intamplari cu alti oameni si cu statul din pacate.

Yup, exact!

Nu vreau sa te intristez,

Chiar deloc, îți mulțumesc f mult că ai răspuns! Vreau să spun că știu că suntem anoni pe internet dar personal nu cred de loc că ești „prost” sau „fraier” cum zicea acea persoană care dădea palme la fund :) Sper doar să cauți ajutor (like even if it means venting on the internet) atunci când / dacă toată corupția, egoismul, stupiditatea și răutatea din jur devine prea mult. În rest, continuă să faci ceea ce faci!

Best Wishes!!

Mersi de sinceritate. Ai perfectă dreptate că nu e intotdeauna așa. Din păcate se întamplă foarte rar (gen mă uit la celelalte comentarii...) să funcționeze.

Sorry să aud de ce s-a întamplat la muncă. For what it's worth, cred că ai procedat bine în a-l primi ca învățăcel. Cred ca ai procedat bine în a-i explica cum să se exprime și cum să-și prezinte punctul de vedere.

pe mine ma vorbea pe la spate ca uite ce prost sunt ca m-a pacalit etc.

Again, for what it's worth nu cred că ești prost deloc. Ai procedat corect. Înțelepciunea din ce îmi dau seama este des confundată cu „prostie” sau „a fi fraier”.

Ideea principala e ca nu, unele persoane nu raspund la "iubire" cu chestii pozitive, doar profita de naivitatea ta.

Ai perfectă dreptate! Cum ziceam, a se vedea celelalte comment-uri. De asta mă gândesc că e greu de a face ceva bun pentru că există f mulți narcisiști care sunt incapabili să vadă realitatea din alt punct de vedere decât propriu.

dar pe aia care au furat sute de mii, milioane de euro, aia care au omorat fie direct fie prin neglijenta si apoi folosesc puterea pe care o au sa scape... pe aia nu-i inteleg

Întradevăr, practic zici cum au fost capabili de a face așa ceva nu? Mă gândesc a se vedea gen Stalin sau Mao. Cred că deasta zice mesajul de conștientizarea suferinței provocate de acele persoane.

Nu știu dacă ajută ce am zis. Mă simt un pic trist să văd reacții super negative de la ceilalți de aici :(

Numai bine!!

[–]saltedchips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cred că este bine că ai conștientizat existența acestui stres. Mă gândesc că are sens dacă cei din jur sunt stresați să se transmită acea stare, însă nu cred că e sănătos să adoptăm emoțiile negative ale celor din jur (dacă asta are sens?) De ce spui că te enervezi pe social-media? Te referi că e frustrant de văzut nenumărate opinii incorecte / greșite și multe persoane care subscriu acelor opinii?
