As in, are they talking about things that didn't happen? Have they suddenly become violent or incredibly irritable? Two people I know now have had sudden breaks in reality this year. One of my friends has had two friends experience the same also this year. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid...

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. lol

Title: Murder Suspect Calls Cops Over Cold McDonald's Fries, Gets Arrested Author: Law&Crime Network https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bSdesspko8 Wait for it...

Not sure what you're trying to say here. As to the link though, it is an interesting read, but consider a couple things. When it comes to news and compiled reports, we are not dealing with evaluating one person or another. We dealing with evaluating the trustworthiness of GROUPS of people. It...

https://thefactual.com/blog/biased-factual-reliable-new-sources You all may find this interesting. They apparently did a huge study here rating a bunch of news agencies on left/center/right bias, factual reliability, and professional tone. Unfortunately, when it comes to the factual reliability...

Yeah, but the usual repair is to find another cog to replace it with. Also, such a creator would very, very probably be so beyond making mistakes that nothing would need to be addressed for the machine to reach its final desired state.

I don't know about caring, but I think it is at least safe to say that if a creator did exist, they are at least neutral towards us. Who knows. It could even be that we're all cogs in an unbelievably massive universal machine running for some purpose entirely unknown to us.

Is that really what's going on though? Humanity on Earth has to suffer some extremely brutal things. There's an interesting LDS scripture as well where God just flat out says we're the worst world of them all. Well, there's a dark perspective. Don't think I agree with it, but it's interesting...

This is one of those times I was talking about where the LDS religion has a surprisingly good answer. Free agency. There must be an opposite in all things. Maybe the actual creator feels like, for better and worse, lies, even from spiritual entities, must simply be a part of life just as truth...

You actually put up with that for a while? That would infuriate me very quickly.

There's an awful lot of assumptions in there. We're assuming for starters that the true creator would care whether someone falsely claimed they were the creator or not. Perhaps the true creator is very hands-off with the universe and just lets it run itself. It also assumes that a creator that...

Tell me about it. I just randomly found another surprisingly good mainstream porn forum. lol https://vipergirls.to Keep in mind, at the top of the first four categories, those are not sub-forums, those are ads. But yeah. A vB 4.x forum with surprisingly light rules. Maybe too light for a porn...

I have no idea anymore. Both the LDS and regular Christian origin story of humanity are now in question. Could easily be a lie told by an entity to increase their standing with people on this planet. "Oh, see, I/our group created you~ We have kinship! You should fight for me." It is just...

That is correct. I do not. (Wow, it seems so weird to say that now after all these years.) I DO definitely think there is at least one powerful entity behind it, but I am no longer assured of their reliability/truthfulness. With that said, I do still have smaller lingering beliefs from the LDS...

Well, I don't really deserve any congratulations here as I was metaphorically shoved into this system of belief on multiple fronts. Yeah, it's basically the antithesis of benevolent spiritualism, and there's a lot of words for it. Spiritual independence, spiritual defensiveness, or spiritual...

This is a somewhat redundant topic after my last topic, so if you already read that, you can just skip this one if you want. This topic is much more for me to precisely nail down exactly what I believe at least nowadays until further notice. As far as I know, there isn't really an official term...

Sorta, kinda, yeah. But in this specific case here, I don't think it's too relevant due to a multitude of factors. Not really an option for me I'm afraid. If I didn't have a smartphone, I'd have to haul around a bulky laptop. Which... I actually wouldn't be too against if it was the right...

No, it's not. This is Fantasia illustrated in crayon. Actually, that's giving it too much credit...

Bruh, what is this? lol

A good point. I suppose I'm much more leaning towards what our purpose is as opposed to what our origins are. For a very long time, I thought that purpose was clear and set in steel. Nowadays though? Who knows. I sure don't. There are so many spirits and entities screwing around in this world...

In Red vs. Blue, this question gets asked of Church two times; the first time in Season 1, Episode 1, and the second and final time in the Season 5 finale. He's had a different answer each time, but I now have my own little answer to this question... You know, I have over 20 years of religious...

And Hong Kong isn't technically a part of China. Now with that said, there's been a LOT of interference from China for sure, but I don't think Pine64 was ever involved with any of that. The crackdowns involved freedom of speech and removing dissidents. Now again, I guess it is very slightly but...

Supposed to be healthier I think.

The thing is though, the target demographic of the PinePhone Pro is major computer nerds, so if there was some firmware tomfoolery going on, I imagine it would have been picked up already. In any case, the two companies you cite have nothing to do with Pine64.

@Vendor-Lazarus brought up a point in chat a little bit ago that kinda started a train of worry. Specifically, Pine64, the company that makes the PinePhone Pro, is based out in Hong Kong. It's a non-profit company that is privately owned by TL Lim that contracts out employees from Syabas Tech...
