But isn’t the asteroid belt there a belt and not a planet because of Jupiter? That sounds more like a racket to me

90% of the time Euro badgers do that

- Comment on i will never understand scientific fraud 2 months ago:
you can then check the science
Me and what degree? Science is so far beyond what I can understand without spending years of my life studying a single topic that I, and generalizing to we, need to take things on faith as much as anyone in a church.
Actually it’s more on faith than in a church because anyone can pray and see what that results in.
- Comment on Anon isn't a fan of Judas 2 months ago:
Psychedelics are a shortcut to what intense meditation and prayer can achieve, so I see how you can come to that conclusion.
- Comment on Anon isn't a fan of Judas 2 months ago:
For one, it was part of the prophecy that’s referenced a few times in the New Testament.
For two, martyrs maker good PR. My favorite example is:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignatius_of_Antioch
Who near as I can tell arranged his own arrest and execution in Rome, and preached the entire way there to the crowds that came to see a Christian (novel in those days)
- Comment on Gearbox's first Risk of Rain 2 expansion gets hammered on Steam as developer admits the PC version 'is in a really bad place' 2 months ago:
Or even a decade ago. Dark Souls 2 had some enemies’ attack animations tied to frame rate, like the Alonne Knights. So they attacked incredibly fast on PC compared to console.
Weapon degradation was also tied to framerate :(

- Comment on Anon takes the pink pill 2 months ago:
My personal advice is: Making meditation a habit is the main hurdle. Set the bar of success so low you can trip over it, such as “I will meditate at least 3 minutes a day”.
And for more what you seem to be after, you can’t go wrong with the Gateway tapes. They’re some guided meditations, but that’s putting it lightly. This is a good place to start: r/gatewaytapes/wiki/start but I wouldn’t recommend browsing the subreddit unless you want your experience to be influenced by the sub’s communal lore.
(the link in the faq is to a store to buy the tapes, but the discord server on step 6 doesn’t have a link to the store iykwim)

US Government: “A substance that makes people more empathetic? This could destroy the American way of life!”

As an alternative to psychedelics, you can reach the same states through meditation. With modern techniques you won’t even need to sit under a tree for 49 days.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing 2 months ago:
I think what they’re going to do is to change the price based on how much they think you can afford.
Say “I got a bonus today” while your phone is listening? Guess eggs just went up 20%.

The only people claiming UFOs are disproven are feds or patsies.
Two eyewitness and a whistleblower testifying seeing nonhuman craft under oath to Congress: www.c-span.org/video/?529499-1/hearing-unidentifi…
If UFOs are so disproven, why is congress trying to declassify projects involving them?
I’m not saying believe me, I’m saying that if you take a serious honest look at the phenomenon it’s very plain that there’s something there

Because I don’t live in his state so I’m not allowed to.
He’s done great work convincing progressives that the best way to change the Democratic party is from the inside, and I hope it continues.
