I think you’re operating on a different understanding of the words ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ here. Do you believe that Tuesday comes after Monday? Do you believe the Earth orbits the Sun, or that puppies are cute? Belief in something does not require faith, faith is a specific kind of belief. This is the kind of belief I have when talking about God.

I do not need evidence to disprove the existence of God, much the same way that I do not need the same for Dragons, or Magic, or the Flat Earth. I am not claiming these things do not exist, I am simply not going to believe they do until there is some evidence of their existence. I would suspect you do not think that I am religious in my lack of belief in dragons.

I also do not “believe” in science. That is a misunderstanding of science, which is simply a methodology. One cannot believe in it any more than they can math. It just is.

Do you live in an uber-HCOL area? I ordered Jets the other day and it was not nearly this expensive… I just priced out a delivery for your order and it came to $34.07 w/ taxes and fees, less tip. Even opted for the bone-in wings.

Pretty sure it’s been going on a while, but unless you’ve changed jobs in the last two years it’s unlikely you feel these effects. Employers dont give raises in line with inflation but they’re sure paying new employees a lot more than they used to.

Atheists do not have theological beliefs, atheism is characterized by a lack of religious faith. If one is lacking in faith then they cannot still have faith, that is an incoherent position.

Lots of writers and other crew have agents. It’s not clear from the article if that’s what’s being referred to though.

Your citation says social democracy is a leftist ideology, that encompasses a significant number of American liberals no? I don’t really think anyone would say Bernie is right-leaning, for example?

New to this depth of phone administration, where are you entering this command? Is there a developer CLI I should be looking for or is this done with a third party app or something?

This doesn’t address your question directly OP, but something I’ve been doing here (as a sad former redditor of over a decade) is to relentlessly upvote anything I like or that contributes to communities I’m subscribed to. I was more of a lurker on reddit but I think if we can push more niche communities and posts into the “everything” feed this problem will hopefully resolve itself eventually through organic growth.
