I’ll just throw this into the mix: the so-called “wisdom of crowds”. I’m not sure if it really applies to juries. But I think the idea that a group of people will be smarter and less biased (or their biases will cancel each other out) is a common notion. It also dilutes the feeling of individual responsibility to some degree.
Didn’t Nestle want to do this with water?
Became an atheist and quit going to church. After decades of being very involved in church. My experience wasn’t nearly as difficult or traumatic as it is for many who go through this. But it still sucked. I pissed off some friends and family members. And some folks I really liked froze me out, which is not fun. Atheist friends were supportive, which was a big help.
They should give lite.cnn.com a try.
One possibility:
I posted this in a different thread a while back. Here are some primary news sources:
But did you know, that when it snows, my eyes become large and the light that you shine can’t be seen?
Sorry, couldn’t resist. I like him, too.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Sorry to hear this.
An internet forum like Lemmy is not the best place for medical advice. Most diseases can vary significantly from person to person. Lupus comes in multiple forms. The musician Seal has a form of lupus, and he’s 61. Autoimmune disorders are very complicated, because the immune system is very complicated.
Your doctor should be able to give you guidance and “what to expect” type information. If there is a patient portal or email you can use, be proactive and reach out to your doctor with your questions. If you’re in the USA, patients very much have to actively navigate this stuff, and advocate for themselves. Your doctor might give you a pamphlet or booklet. Read it.
Let us know if you ever find a good solution. Stuff in my pants pockets annoys me, too.
One of my friends wears a lightweight (mostly mesh) cargo vest thing that looks good on him. But he’s one of those assholes who looks good in anything. I would look like a doofus wearing it. Anyway, it has multiple pockets on the front.
Primary news sources. Here are some others.
The Demiurge. Not that I like the Demiurge itself. But explaining the human condition as being a product of bad design appeals to me. I don’t believe the myth and I’m not religious. But as far as myths go, that one is my fave.
A lot of people made fun of those theories and sarcastically pretended to believe in them. Maybe that’s what you remember. Our human memories are not very reliable.
Maybe not exactly what you asked for, but I think these two might be close contenders:
I’d like to say something noble like warn Amelia Earhart, or hookup Adolph with some Bob Ross videos. But if I’m being honest, I would probably be selfish. I would tell past me to not fuck up quite a few things that past me royally fucked up.
Fun bit of trivia. In some Christian churches, regular attendees have a nickname for the folks who only show up on Christmas and Easter. They call them the “Hollies and the Lilies”.
20 years ago I would have said invest regularly in an index fund.
Today I think you should learn all you can about DIY water filtration and growing edible mushrooms in caves.
Probably a good idea. I keep a book nearby with the intention of less phone time, but it’s not working.
I like sesame sticks and nuts (but allergies can be an issue). Also wasabi peas.
