I agree completely. I’m honestly a little annoyed by some of the antitheists in this thread. They should know that historically societies become less religious after quality of life and progressive outlooks develop, not before. So the way you “defeat religion”, if that’s even possible, is by raising living standards and fighting for equality. There are Christians who do more to end Christianity than most atheists.

Also using FOSS as an analogy for religion is hilarious to me for some reason. It works though.

Im talking about people I know personally. People who know I’m an atheist and are more likely to consider my point of view if I added scriptures. That’s all

Rhetorical purposes. Religious people are more likely to listen to their god than listen to an atheist.

I was raised conservative Christian and I lost my faith in university. You’re 100% right but I sometimes feel a strong urge to “convert” back but only practice the cool parts. Like I’d one-up christians and quote Jesus’ most socialist verses at them. Maybe start a Facebook page about how the NT has been corrupted in this modern day, conspiracy-theorist style, but the hidden message is just Marxism.

I feel like somebody out there has embodied that, and I’d like to give them space to reclaim the word Christian for themself at least.

“Unless you only care about closing tickets, that is.”

Perfect. I’ll use it for tests at work then.

This is completely tangential but I think juniors will always be capable of things that LLMs aren’t. There’s a human component to software that I don’t think can be replaced without human experience. The entire purpose of software is for humans to use it. So since the LLM has never experienced using software while being a human, there will always be a divide. Therefore, juniors will be capable of things that LLMs aren’t.

Idk, I might be missing a counterpoint, but it makes sense to me.

What about word of mouth? If I want to find a good place to eat, I find asking a local “hey what’s the best restaurant around here?” to yield way better results than ads.

I feel sorry for Americans. The best of the 2 viable parties is a party keen on supplying a genocide, and somehow if you vote 3rd party you’re more responsible than said genocide suppliers, even worse republicans, and non-voters. That’s wild.

The uncomfortable reality is that you aren’t gonna solve your country’s problems in the voting booths. Good luck to you, genuinely.

Yes, but they also enforced a carbon tax on provinces that removed their own program.

There’s also Carney scrapping the capital gains tax increase on cap gains over 250k.

I don’t deny they’ve always been a right wing party, but they seem to be moving further right - that’s my only point.

Liberals when conservatives do conservative shit: “this is awful”(rightly so)

Liberals when liberals do conservative shit: “this is fine”(it’s not)

Everything points to a right-wing pivot for the liberals and the voters seem just fine with that.
