The nice thing about forums was/is that most weren’t up/downvote machines. I’ve come to loathe the mechanic.
People can cite factual evidence for an argument and be downvoted because they just don’t agree with it. Others can express a puffed up opinion and get upvotes by the hundreds. It is telling people that opinions are superior to facts.
Forums allow for discussion even with disagreements. Neither side is automatically judged by the number of votes they have. They stand on the merit of the words they say and not on votes.
What is Ozempic?
Semaglutide is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and an anti-obesity medication used for long-term weight management.
So push for Americans to get fat then offer them a weight loss drug? Sounds about right.
“They’ve already bought off the doctors.” This is quite true. Doctors don’t treat patients anymore. They push pills. If there was a pill to mend broken bones and stitch up wounds they would push that as well. (They do have those pain meds however!)
I’ve become such a distrustful cynic of our healthcare industry since 2020…. And I’ve always been a little skeptical. they are as untrustworthy as big government at this point.
It's really not that hard to imagine an abstract concept beyond reality.
Maybe for you and I, but I’m quite skeptical of the vast majority of humanity.
And I think you misunderstand what I mean by metaphysics
Yes I did. My brain read it as quantum physics for some reason. I’m quite familiar with metaphysics.
You are still hung up on the physical world. That’s what I’m trying to point out. A physical entity cannot have been the origin of a physical universe. Even “metaphysical” still exists within the realm of the physical.
The only logical conclusion is something not physical created the universe. It’s an inescapable reality.
If you want to call the unknown physics
I’m going to stop you there.
Because calling something “unknown physics” is still missing the point. You are making the mistake of describing something as a physical manifestation when it has to exist outside the realm of the universe.
It is something beyond our understanding because our understanding is limited to this universe.
You missed my point. A creator or God or whatever you want to call it is outside of our natural universe. This creator does not have the laws of the universe apply to them because they are not bound by the laws of the universe. If they are not bound by the laws of the universe then nothing needs to have created them.
People who use the "Who created God?" argument need to understand this point. The creator has always existed. This concept is quite mind blowing because, as I said, we are bound by the finite terms and laws of our universe.
I believe that is the limitations of our mind. We cannot comprehend a being that is infinite because all things in our life are finite.
We cannot comprehend a being that is outside of time and space because we live within those confines.
The universe would not exist, Should not exist in fact, If not for an outside influence.
Even our language is insufficient to describe this influence because our language is spatial.
It stands to reason that something put the universe in motion and that something is not bound by the laws of this universe, including time and space.
You forgot one!
I tried to like the force awakens and justify all the bad decisions they made.
But after the last Jedi, I gave up. I watched it in the theater once and that was one time too many. I keep replaying scenes in my head and it’s all just so. fucking. Awful.
Even the saber fight in the throne room was bad in retrospect.
I absolutely refuse to watch the rise of skywalker or whatever shit title they gave to Ep 9. Disney is truly a shit stain on everything we grew up loving.
While they are sore losers, I do partially agree with one point.
The media shouldn’t be calling anything before all votes are counted. The most egregious recent example is calling Arizona for Biden at 1% of the vote.
Back in 2000, they also called Florida for Gore, before the western panhandle he finished voting!
You don’t get to “call” an election. Your job is to report the numbers.
Orville was a good spiritual successor to Star Trek. They had some really excellent episodes and then some really shitty ones.
A few too many woke themes so I won’t be rewatching them. Also, the two kids were very annoying.
Might as well fill the seat with Ronald McDonald. Appropriate for the clown show that is the GOP.
