This is one of those areas where I wish I could say “I told you so” but there’s nobody to really say it to. Recently, I put up a video on the channel that I knew would be unpopular with certain segments of the atheist community. I knew that at least some people would just freak out and, sadly, I wasn’t remotely mistaken.
Sorry, if you can’t think about things and just have to react, then you are exercising cult-like thinking. That is not something that you should be proud of. Continue reading If You Only React, Not Think, You’re in a Cult
Back again with another political claim by the progressives which sounds good on paper, but we know that they don’t really mean it. Experience has taught us never to trust politicians and that is especially true here. If they really wanted what they say they want, they’d try to get ALL money taken out of it, not only the other side’s. So let’s get into it. 
There was a recent call over on The Line from a woman named Angel in Ireland and while the call wandered around a lot, there were two points that I wanted to touch on. First, she asked if every religion in the world became “extremely progressive” overnight, would Matt and Jimmy still fight against them, and secondly, when talking about skepticism, she kept insisting that she was open-minded, as if they were the same thing.
It’s not hard to see if you just bother to look, but on YouTube especially, there are people on both sides of the social divide that assert that the other side sucks, just because the other side doesn’t agree with their own unsupported assertions. They’re right, everyone else is wrong, so there!
I keep running into this and I’ve been rolling my eyes so hard that I’m surprised they haven’t rolled right out of my head. I just keep seeing it in a lot of atheist videos I watch, where the atheist will criticize the religious for doing a thing, then turn right around and do that exact same thing with their own political beliefs.
I think I’ve just given up again. I’ve been in a centrist political group for a couple of weeks and I think I’m going to leave before my brain just implodes. You cannot have intelligent conversations with people because most people are just too stupid to live.
So I play No Man’s Sky a lot. Great game with a really rough beginning and now, it’s one of the best open world sci-fi games around. They’ve been doing some expedition replays for the month of December and while finishing one up this morning, shit started to hit the fan because someone named one of the common rocks in the game “Trump/Carlson 2024”.
