It’s the time they were just trying to get food.

It’s the one where kids died

My bad. Went over my head

I’m going to add, you’re confusing atheism with nihilism. You’re a disrespectful bubble boy who needs to develop your social skills. Other people are important to your brain development, and your empathy and ego are profoundly undeveloped. Want some science dogma? Philosophies of mind, like Buddhism are really just pointing toward smooth operation between body and mind. 3 parts to your brain: conscious, subconscious, and other people. We are social primates with mirror neurons and facial recognition. That input is important for brain development. That’s where you get ego and empathy. Work on it. Meditation is easy. Going outside and talking to people is easy.

I don’t give a shit. It’s important to the people I care about. You’re fucking bankrupt. Sucks for you

Yeah, like that. Psychological warfare is a bitch, huh?

My pointing to the project was a demonstration of what we can do when we’re not in the middle of active suppression.

Authoritarianism comes in many forms. Didn’t any of you read 1984? I mean, don’t waste your time - there’s way better materials to learn from, but Thought Police, anyone? Also, no idea why you’re getting downvoted. You atheists are dogmatic as fuck. I’m an atheist. Hey, let’s ban Islam. That’s how you sound.

Thank you. I identified the parts of the machine, from the military-industrial-intelligence complex to the Epstein honeypot operation. This confirms my final hypothesis: The motivation is theological. An elite death/apocalypse cult. I suspected it because of the nature of the honeypot operation. Could have been gambling or personal blackmail. No. The desecration of innocence was a ritual, and the island, a temple. Revealing the final inner circle. The high priests of a cult. You can find their rituals being portrayed as frat-like behavior.

You’re simply wrong. That is not all that religion does. You and I have both seen, in person, the power of faith. This hard-line science approach is toxic. As somebody who has been entrenched in theoretical physics for 15 years and is currently running my own relativistic model, I can tell you with confidence that these physicists love selling half-truths and relying on rote memorization. Let alone interference from intelligence agencies. The scientists they shove in your face are not the ones from the Manhatten Project. They are incrementalists trained to mind their calculations and suppress dissent. This is a simple, obvious fact of a post-mutual destruction age.

As an atheist, faith should be warmly invited, and traditions should be celebrated. You don’t have to have anything to do with it. You can assert yourself without assuming you know what people think and classifying their worship. And, on another note: these are human tales. You think books that took generations to compile don’t have a few nuggets of hard earned wisdom? Do you read Frankenstein and dismiss it because it’s ludicrous?

*a barn goes dark

Wyoming is corrupt as fuck. Coal is in charge there

Nah. They’re just avid Black Friday shoppers.

You can’t be expected to - broadly understand the world and your place in it - when every article, book, or anything else that you’ve read or studied, you’re supposed to pay for.

All those harps and shit must be driving him nuts.

I didn’t know smuggling tarantulas was so dangerous

Guarantee not all of them made it. And I kept feeder insects for my lizard. A whiff of dead bugs made me gag every time.

Bugs, yo. They don’t exactly smell like cake.

You’re right. I’m not relying on this shit. It’s a tool. Fucking up the gui is fine, but making any changes I don’t research to my simulator core could fuck up my whole project. It’s a tool that likes to cater to you, and you have to work around that - really, not too different from how much pressure you put on a grinder. You gotta learn how to work it. And, you’re sentiment is correct. My lack of programming experience is a big hurdle I have to account for and make safeguards against. It would be a huge help if I started from the basics. But, I mean, I also can’t rub two sticks together to heat my home. Doesn’t mean I can’t use this tool to produce reliable results.
