First contact? Annular? Lunar?

I believe in partial and total. All the other eclipses are mental illnesses.

This is glorious and worth the shit post.

I have definitely seen this over the years.

If there was another memorable line from this movie, I’d be quoting it. The utter genius.

I’ll start. They took my queen and didn’t pay dowry.

You can’t accomplish it in a year.

It’s almost like the censorship was in the hands of corporations all along. Yes, obviously, making the “town square” a corporate hell scape was a bad idea.

Yes jack just said there’s pros and cons

I mean siding with Trump, buying Twitter and the “free speech” people. This is the smoke screen so that he CAN defend Russia and make Biden wary of fighting back, because he now has the unconditional support of 30% of the country.

Not that aiding Russia is the prevention, I think it may be at least part of the goal.

His posturing politically may just be to protect himself from SpaceX and Starlink being nationalized.

Yes an atheist believes there is basically no evidence there is a God while an agnostic believes it’s an unknowable or unanswerable questions.

The issue is if an atheist adheres to some dogma (eg all religious people are bad and dogmatic, people who don’t read the same books are ignorant) then it becomes a relatively high dogmatic belief system, for that person.

Just wait til March and next September

This is probably slightly tangential, but after leaving a very dogmatic, Christian upbringing, I dabbled in the New Atheist Thing but have since come to realize religion and belief is on a two dimensional axes.

On the first axis, you have dogma, or a core set of beliefs or religious doctrine. High or low dogma. Your classic fundamentalists of any stripe are over here. Evangelical Christians, fundamentalist Islam. And yes even some strains of atheism can be relatively high dogma. On the lower end of the dogma scale you have agnostics, many atheists, some types of new age spirituality, and even some types of organized religion like Unitarianism or Buddhism.

On the second axis is humanism, or the relishing and participation in people, culture and acceptance of people or ideas that do not conform to the doctrine. High on the humanism scale would be literal secular humanists, and other faiths that prioritize people more than dogma.

Eventually, someone raised in a high dogma/low humanism religion might eventually learn there are some faiths that are relatively high humanism, even with a low or relatively high dogma score.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I’m imagining you’ve been the father, the mother and the doctor in these events that you have participated in.

Ricky’s malapropisms are always A+

Sarracenia leucophylla

Its a fancy cross of some southern varieties. I should have gotten a more hearty cross of the northern purpurea. But this plant is super cool too.

He didn’t actually write Ring of Fire

Yes obviously you’d bother suffer.

That’s why I wasn’t categorical. But I mean you proved my point. If your wife died she’d be the one who suffered and died. Not you.

The point is, politics being like the super bowl is a privilege for some. For others it’s life and death. It’s almost like saying “Keep politics out of my life” is a relatively lucky/conservative request or point of view.
