  • yes. agreed. also, ugh. i’ll guarantee you whoever downvoted your post is some fucking theist.

    but yes. 100% agreed. and once people realize this, it comes with the understanding that there is no objectively true answer. to each their own.

    BUT, here’s where we get into the freewill part of giving individual meaning to life - if you decide that your meaning is to extract your own pleasure at the misfortune of others, then i am going to decide to end your life. AND… when enough people join together to stop those that would create suffering for others, that’s when humanity is on its way to my version of a glorious moral union. a moral union not based on some book of ancient goat herders but on a democratic agreement about what we want the world to be like.





  • did you know that, in the valley of the kings, you can see a clear evolution from simple petroglyphs to the later hieroglyphs? on the cliffs there you can literally see where they started as simple tribes drawing pictures of animals, and in that same valley, those little symbols go on to become the hieroglyphs that would adorn the royal tombs of the greatest civilization in the world (at that time).






  • my wife just went to help her estranged mother come home from the nursing home the hospital had put her in after her surgery. she said they tried to get her to sign her entire life away to united healthcare before releasing her, and probably would have if she hadn’t been there to stop it.

    they wanted to milk her for everything they could, racking up massive medical bills by keeping her there, and then have her sign her life and possessions over to UHC to recoup expenses. when my wife took her home they said it was against medical advice, which allows them to deny coverage for the bills she incurred.

    fucking vultures. free luigi.
