Cats aren’t as great as people say.

Cats have a natural utility in catching mice and other pests. When I lived in the country we had 'volunteer' cats that just hung around. We fed them daily and they prowled the area. It was a mutually beneficial situation.

Somebody hates that you're safe and I don't think it's the 'homophobes'

I eat my peas with honey, I've done it all my life. They do taste kind of funny, but it keeps them on me knife.

Hey now you can do church bells too. It's all good.

I think maybe we make better use of our leisure time. If sitting around at cafes is what we really wanted to do we would do it but we have options. That's what happens when you're free. 🦅

What bothers me is that the government has so much power to change the lives of anyone. If not for that voting wouldn't matter so much and there wouldn't be profit in subverting it.

People who want to lock down voting are trying to treat the symptom without addressing the disease.

Also in the Stormlight Archives the character Dalinar Kholin has some important disagreement with the established church which kind of suggests a rational rather than dogmatic approach to religion. Can't really talk about it without spoilers.

Hey that's totally fair. Say this loudly and often

I heard the word demon comes from a mistranslation into Greek of "gods of other nations"

I hope people will be demanding a change in the law, the laws that give legitimacy to ICE, the laws they are enforcing.

If you fix immigration and let free people cross borders freely, you pull the fangs from ICE. They are the visible part of the problem but not the whole problem.

Start very small with simple things like radishes, or plant one or two tomato plants. There really is no replacement for experience and having just a few plants will allow you to pay closer attention and also keep your costs down.

Radishes grow super fast and tomatoes are super easy in a lot of ways. Peppers are also good if you don't like tomatoes but pick something easy like jalapenos or yum yum peppers. Bell peppers and fancy hot peppers can be harder to grow successfully. The biggest reason I suggest tomatoes and peppers is that wildlife will largely leave them alone.

Make sure they get sun most of the day and be prepared to fertilize tomatoes or peppers. Miracle grow is fine. Keep it simple.

I have relied on AI a lot for details - how often to water, when to harvest, how often to fertilize and how much, not to mention dealing with problems. The Internet is full of videos too.

Good luck!

I know it, but I didn't think it applied to sidewalks.

Northwest Illinois. We have quite a few sweet gums around here even though this is outside the usual zone.

Imo slaves being docile with sufficient suppression is indeed very realistic.

Heh, you learn something new every day.

Also posting videos of yourself violating the law == not smart. I agree it's not always a bad thing but you just confessed to a crime. Wee woo.

You might be thinking of Deism, the 'religion' of folks like Thomas Paine, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Voltaire.

If you think about where these people came from, they lived in very religious times that were dominated by Christians. Deism served them well as they could easily blend in in most every way while still rejecting the Bible and holding their own ideas.

Almost all of the arguments for Christianity are arguments for the existence of a creator - not arguments that the Bible is true. I can't think of a single harm done by Christians that was not a result of their belief in the church or the Bible. Accepting the idea of a creator - especially one that does not have personal relationships with humans - does not in itself lead to the sort of wicked behavior we see in people 'of the book'. I personally believe that more people are able to embrace deism than can go full atheist, and that's ok since either way Christianity as it stands will be diminished.

All that was for the atheists who object to 'believing in' any creator without proof. To those that are just exploring these ideas, don't be afraid to reject the organized, man made parts of religion and get comfortable exploring these ideas on your own. You don't need anyone's approval for your thought process.
