Excess ain’t rebellion.
You’re drinking what they’re selling.
Your self-destruction doesn’t hurt them.
Your chaos won’t convert them.
They’re so happy to rebuild it.
You’ll never really kill it.
Yeah, excess ain’t rebellion.
You’re drinking what they’re selling.
Excess ain’t rebellion.
You’re drinking,
You’re drinking,
You’re drinking what they’re selling.Spotify loves you for this. And the artists can’t perceive it.

- Comment on What's the deal the miracles jesus chose to do? 5 weeks ago:
When the original authors of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote their words in the original Greek, they were not imagining blindness to be a metaphor for clinical depression. Or even for feeling sad, if that is what you mean. Blindness is often used as a metaphor in the Bible, for example for ignorance, pride, deception, and unbelief. You can attempt to take it as a metaphor for the modern concept of depression (which of course they did not even possess) but to do so, you are clearly reading into the text.
I’m trying to understand if you are advocating doing that intentionally, but it’s not even clear if you’re aware and accept you’re doing that at all.

Yes. If you left Reddit because of the social climate, you haven’t accomplished anything.

I’m going to claim brain fart. I’m horrified to find I had thought that it was about, like, modern Israel. Dumb.
OTOH, it sounds like you are suggesting taking interpretations like that; reading things into the text and adopting the symbols for our own purposes. Blindness wasn’t a metaphor for depression. You have to insert that as a modern reader. The text doesn’t fully support it and you have to creatively interpret at times. I don’t think that’s very satisfying.

Yes, yes.

The point is that they are fucking miracles. It doesn’t matter whether they are “impressive” or “lame” when they prove that the natural laws of the Universe do not apply.

- Comment on How can open source projects get acquired by third parties? 1 month ago:
You’re talking about a service, not an open source text like source code. A service can’t be “open source” unless it lives on a computing block chain like Etherium or something, because actual human beings have to do things on private assets.

Why should a full-time employer be permitted to pay an employee less than it costs to merely survive? It’s like you WANT to live in a culture where humans are exploited and thrown away when they break.

It certainly sucked for those who did, but the majority didn’t have to worry about war.
It’s not like you knew; you were still fucking worried even if you were in the 9/10.

Tried hard to get through the first airing of Heroes. One episode, halfway through, we just looked at each other and turned off the TV. Turned out to be the second-last episode. Still feel good about that decision.
