No, it means “Sea to lake”

The sentences of the bible are written in a certain context. If you remove it from this context and try really hard to make connections, you can loosen it’s definition enough and distort it’s meaning enough to fit anything you want

IMO this Interpretation is straight up incorrect

This is a symptom of “If you want it hard enough, you can find anything where there is nothing”

but the fatal wound had been healed.

Hello!? There was no fatal wound. And it was not healed. The text doesn’t fit.

Supposedly god put those words in the mind of a Christian man 2000 years ago. He wrote it down. Several other people copied the text by hand. The original works were lost. When the bible was translated to english it was based on the copied content from other translations in German, latin, and Hebrew. No translation was made from the original language since there’s no source available.

Why is god so fuckeng sloppy with the text that literally represents his existence and the only path of salvation of all human souls?? (people who he supposedly love)

“Say Polemarchus, what is your definition of justice?”

Pulls existence from the void

This point is highly dependent on whether or not you believe there is some sort of soul or existence before birth. I cannot argue on this point since this is pure belief, so I will accept your view for the sake of the discussion

Questions how not doing so could have prevented suffering

You could say it prevents suffering, but it also prevents Joy, Love, Friendship. Sure it also prevents Sadness and Grief and so on. It prevents everything by way of not giving life a chance.

If you think you cannot provide a happy life to your children then it’s perfectly valid to not want children. But it’s egoistic to think that other people should not have kids because of your own world view.

Many Antinatalists believe that life in the current world is filled with so much suffering that it’s not worth being born.

But that’s like… Your opinion man! Let people make their own choices

I don’t think that this is AI. In fact I’m curious to how it was made

It’s absolutely fine if you don’t want to have kids

I don’t agree with the Antinatalist idea that having children is immoral. Or that Antinatalism reduces suffering.

If I’m incorrect please elaborate

I’m sorry that you had a bad experience with your psychologist.

If I can point out one thing that might help you is that these thoughts largely come from an evolutionary trait called Negative Bias

Negative Bias is the disproportionate focus on bad events and/or memories compared to good events.

It applies to a large range of memories and our ability to perceive danger. Evolutionary it makes sense because our embarrassing memories makes us afraid or unwilling to behave in a way that the social group doesn’t like.

You can imagine when humans lived in societies in small groups of 30 people, that disrespecting someone could get you kicked out of the group and potentially starve to death in the wild. So there is a very strong evolutionary pressure that made your brain evolve to avoid repeating bad scenarios

Your constant embarrassing, sad, or traumatic memories are your brain reminding you over and over not to be in that situation again.

Unfortunately your brain didn’t evolve to be happy. It evolved to survive.

All I wanted to explain is that these memories are not your fault. Don’t feel like you’re any different because you have bad memories constantly. Accept that your brain will do what it is programmed to do and learn how to work around those tendencies.

And I could recommend trying another psychologist. I’m also available to chat if you’d like. Cheers 🙂

That’s a great comment. I go though basically the same steps with my constant flow of embarrassing and/or sad memories

If they’re useful then maybe I should explore this thought for a little longer, or try to speak with someone

If I have nothing to gain from it and it’s just making me cringe or sad I try to do something else to distract myself

It’s important to not shut these memories down immediately. Some memories really need to be explored in order for you to properly leave them in the past. And you can bottle up a bunch of emotions if you refuse to think about thoughts that come to you constantly.

Yup, but that’s all you have right now

I’d argue the senile old man is MUCH better

America best country in the world am I right??

It’s a meme. It’s just trying to say that Biden is embarrassing and/or a bad candidate

His party dropping him would only guarantee that trump is elected. It would be a dumb move and it obviously won’t happen.

You might not like Biden, but against a twice impeached, insurrectionist felon, I would vote for Biden every time

I would also vote lettuce against Trump.

But I’m voting Joe to keep that orange imbecile away

Spoiler. They did free Will in the end

From time to time I feel like my dreams are a continuation of other dreams I’ve had in the past.

I can recall 2 or 3 different scenarios that somehow I keep dreaming about and it always feels like either a repeat or a continuation of the last time I dreamt about this scenario

The same characters show up and in the same environment etc

It’s quite cool. I always wake up and feel like “woah this would be an amazing movie” except the one where I’m lost in an underground circus and the magicians and lions are trying to kill me. I sometimes relive the story of dreams I had years ago. I only wish I could remember more about them.

I don’t know if there’s a memory space for dreams but at least it seems like it’s possible for the brain to fall into a similar state while sleeping and you feel like it was the same dream as before

The context doesn’t make a difference

In base 10 --> 1/3 is 0.333…

In base 12 --> 1/3 is 0.4

But they’re both the same number.

Base 10 simply is not capable of displaying it in a concise format. We could say that this is a notation issue. No notation is perfect. Base 10 has some confusing implications

Divide 1 by 3: 1÷3=0.3333…

Multiply the result by 3 reverting the operation: 0.3333… x 3 = 0.9999… or just 1

0.9999… = 1

I did not mean to justify Israel’s actions by pointing out Hamas’s attack.

I agree that Israel has the sole power to stop this conflict. Every day they refuse to do some sort of ceasefire deal is a slaughter caused by Israel alone.

Netanyahu is likely prolonging the war due to political pressure and IMO should be considered a terrorist as well

As another comment noted. If Hamas had more firepower they would use more firepower.

They are not morally Superior to Israel.

Hamas started a conflict with an obviously more powerful military. They knew there would be consequences but they still chose violence over diplomacy. Obviously diplomacy in the middle east is terrible but I would never think that attacking civilians is a viable alternative to diplomacy.

The history of Palestine is super messy. All sides have committed terrible acts to the other, coming back hundreds of years. Each side can always look at recent history and claim X has provoked Y or Y has caused a disaster on X.

You can claim this was a provoked attack. I for once can hardly justify an attack on civilians. You can argue, Israel has done worse in the past, and while each side is biased, perhaps you’d be right.

My point is. This is an endless discussion

Both sides are bad. IMO the best outcome at the moment is to stop the conflict as soon as possible

Man what a terrible choice of words.

By your standards I could provide a counter argument like: Has any Israeli launched an unprovoked attack on Palestinians and kidnapped 300 of them?

And then I sit on my biased moral throne and feel the meaningless superiority of my argument

Reality is not black and white. Both sides are bad

Hamas launched a horrible slaughter of civilians. they knew it would have consequences. The IDF would obviously retaliate but they are using too much force and causing extreme suffering

This war should stop as soon as possible. There is nothing to gain in prolonging this conflict

An icon represents what the people think it represents.

An icon can also have different meanings to different people. It’s ok if you don’t like it. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that the majority of people that use or share Pepe are from one specific ideological group
