Personally, I think the whole heavenly father and heavenly mother being Mormons from a different planet as well as the lack of belief in the Trinity thing makes mormonism fundamentally different then “old and new testament only” Christianity.

But on the other hand, they can call themselves what ever they want, it doesn’t make their cult correct or their god real.

If the future involves Detroit: become human level AI and robots, it really makes me unsure about all of these questions. At that point, like the game brings up, we may need to start treating them as human, and that could change my mind about a couple of these.

1. With what is actually likely for our future? Fuck no. Bunch of spyware trying to worm it’s way into every aspect of life. Not that I am even having kids away, in large part because of my pessimism for the future.

2. I can’t imagine myself ever doing that. Part of what makes relationships so awesome is the fact that it is another person who willingly chooses to spend their time, money, space, and life with me. Having a robot that you buy and boot up would feel soo hollow.

3. Not with current approaches, technology, and people in charge of it. These psychopath leading these AI companies don’t want robots with consciousness, they might demand rights. They just want a tool they can tell to do whatever they want.

I hope he goes independent and continues the work he has been doing. Hopefully leaning more into the stuff this administration doesn’t want people talking about. We really need a source of news that has been bought and payed for.

Just because the BBEG is class struggle, doesn’t mean the mini boss struggles aren’t also a problem.

Exactly, even if he killed himself, that doesn’t rule out the possibility that he was being pressured/forced to. Those powerful monsters he hung out with and surrounded himself with wouldn’t want a lose end like him sitting around.

Oh my god. These dumb asses forget that people need money in the first place in order to give it to them.

Yeah, fair enough. I am just not very informed on the oil industry, so I didn’t want to sound like I did in case I was talking out my ass. Good to know I was correct in my assumption.

My theory, it’s not the government that has the oil, it’s the oil companies. And because this is capitalism, the oil companies will charge as much as the can. So even if it is made here, the drastically reduced supply globally means the companies can change more, and so they will.

On top of what other people has said, it prevents trans people from moving freely in this personal vehicle dependent society. It make fleeing harder. It makes proving your identity harder. They are setting trans people up to be taken and deported.

That anxiety and depression are just symptoms of deep problems, and not in and of themselves psychological conditions. It’s cheaper and less work to just throw meds at the symptoms then it is to do the work to find why people are struggling with the anxiety and depression.

Many of the deeper issue causing them are from how are society works, and can’t be changed or fixed easily, but I don’t know, maybe if everyone realized that our society is hurting us this badly we could do something about it. But no, “here take these meds that will numb the pain and every emotion you have, now be a good little worker drone and get back to grind. It’s not the society that’s the issue, it just you… And everyone else that we are also giving these meds too.”

I myself recently realized that the anxiety and depression I suffered from as a teen was caused by childhood trauma, being undiagnosed neurodigergent, and being Queer. All things society at large tries to ignore or out right hate. Any none of the mental health professionals tried to look into why I was struggling, they just gave me meds and sent me on my way.

That being said, if the meds are the only thing keeping you from ending it all, do what you got to do. Meds are a tool and tools should be used if they are helpful.

If what he says is true, why lie and try to hide it? Sure, having your affairs brought out into the open is uncomfortable, but with it being a part of the Trump- Epstein files, the best thing to do would be to be up front and honest about why his name is coming up. Trying to hide it at first and then coming out with this sounds like a PR move. There is probably something he is trying to hide by sharing a partial truth.

No need to apologize. In fact, at this point, please stay away. Once tourism completely dries up, even more people will see how awful this situation is and begin resisting. All those rich cities and towns will realize we need to be a place people want to come to, and to do that, we need to be less awful in so many ways. The status quo is still not broken enough for too many people.
