It’s more of a philosophical god than a being with consciousness. He said that god is “the sum of the natural and physical laws of the universe and certainly not an individual entity or creator.” Simplified, everything in existence is god, but individual things are not god on their own. That point is an important distinction between Spinoza’s god and animism.

Perceiving god as more of the framework of existence itself is a very compelling way for me to appreciate the connection of all things, without accepting a bearded man in the sky or encroaching on my scientific understanding.

Spinoza’s god fascinates me enough to be agnostic rather than an atheist with conviction.

Awareness. Engagement. Unity. Support. Connection.

We had 40+ tornadoes, massive hailstorms, flooding, and drought-enabled wildfires, in six adjacent states within 48 hours. Maybe it’s time we start listening to climatologists rather than billionaire propaganda.

Yes, perfectly modeling fascism is a failure. I didn’t want to suggest that we hit bottom just because we checked some boxes. There’s still plenty of room for things to get worse if we don’t do anything to stop it.

The White House’s new exertion of control over the media finally gets us a perfect 14/14 score according to Britt’s Characteristics of Fascism. Granted, it’s not pass/fail. Things can still get far worse.

Marrone? Uffa, issat aposta be a Madone?

Agreed.

Oh shit! That’s awful!

I thought they meant pictures of pets from when they were alive. Who even has a picture of their pet’s corpse in the first place?!? Just recalling the moment my 14-year-old dog went limp in my arms when he was put to sleep is enough to make me want to vomit.

We’d eventually all be the same color again if there were no racism.

Qual è la città preferita dei ragni? Mosca!

What is the spider’s favorite city? Moscow! (mosca is also the word for fly)

I thought so too. I bet those two little pockets of international waters have seen some shit. Lol

I’m with you on that. Not a fan of ice diluting my beverage unless it’s water.

I even have an ice cube tray reserved for leftover coffee, so when I make iced coffee it doesn’t dilute.

Good thing we’re getting rid of those immigrants. That should free up loads of artist, telemarketer, social media manager, and PR specialist jobs.

It’s easier to just create an alias. If you have a Gmail account you can just add a + to the address to create an alias that forwards to your inbox. This way you’ll have a running list of addresses you’ve already created, as well as making it easier to receive the confirmation email.

Example: address@gmail.com -> address+ubereats1@gmail.com

Apple software will create a new alias for you if you select Hide My Email during signup as well.

I agree. Although the method of resolution could vary widely, depending on the party in power, if the US masses keep jumping from foreign platform to foreign platform.
