Topic | Yea or Nay: Nose Rings on women |
AloneIBreak 01/31/22 8:54:18 PM #31 | The bull rings are sort of comical, but not attractive. Not that anyone should care what I think, but Ive never seen one and thought it was an improvement over the persons natural appearance. Rings/studs are good sometimes, bad others. I dont feel strongly about them. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist. Libertarian socialist. |

Topic | The Rock is joining the dark side. Wants to go on Joe Rogan |
AloneIBreak 01/31/22 8:45:14 PM #43 | Joe Rogan, the Rock says this: you sit there and you act like youre just asking questions, but the Rock knows as sure as he knows that Kurt Angle takes viagra that you, Joe Rogan, are just another jabroni with a microphone. And the Rock says you can take that microphone, that very microphone you record your little podcast with, shine it up real nice you dont need to talk into it turn it sideways, and stick it up your candy ass! Id mark the fuck it if he did it in full Rock character while wearing a $500 shirt. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist. Libertarian socialist. |

Topic | Do you use a prepaid cell plan? |
AloneIBreak 01/30/22 5:33:32 PM #1 | I'm thinking of switching because they're pretty cheap. I currently have a regular T-Mobile account, but I sort of want to try an AT&T or a Verizon network because T-Mobile's 5G is fucking worse than their LTE. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist.

Topic | That's a good reason to get YouTube Premium. |
AloneIBreak 01/30/22 10:42:43 AM #12 | Error1355 posted... YouTube Premium is great. I'm grandfathered in on the YouTube Premium + YouTube Music combo thing for $10. Same, its amazing. I pay like $8 because Im grandfathered in from the Play Music beta. YouTube music is okay but sort of frustrating. Very often I look up albums and they just dont show up at all, and its not even anything uncommon. Like just now if I search Pantera they dont show up under Artists. I have to search a song and then find a place to click on the band name to go their page. And then when I get there, there isnt an albums tab at all, but there are playlists and music videos. So fucking stupid. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist. Libertarian socialist. |

Topic | Does anyone read here? |
AloneIBreak 01/29/22 1:33:06 PM #10 | My Kindle died, but I had one for a while and enjoyed it. I'll replace it eventually but I'm not in a hurry. There are conveniences to it, like the ability to quickly look up what a word means and highlight important passages. But for me, a lot of the books I like to read I can get cheaper on eBay by buying used, so I usually do that. I keep a lot of ebooks on my phone though because I hate not having something with me to read. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist. Libertarian socialist. |

Topic | Woke up today thinking about the concept of hell and I'm scared |
AloneIBreak 01/26/22 4:41:10 PM #30 | One way to rid yourself of this insidious dogma is to consider whether or not its really likely for an afterlife to exist in the first place. People often assume that if God exists, there must also be an afterlife. I think this is a mistake. Why should humans live forever just because there is a God? Any notion of God should be informed by an understanding of modern science, which cant prove but provides quality evidence that suggests an afterlife is very unlikely. Futhermore, the idea of hell isnt intrinsic to the idea of God in the first place. This belief is due to the influence of the religions with which we are familiar, most commonly those that are prominent in our geographic vicinity. Thats not a good reason to take them any more seriously than other religions, which posit all sorts of things about what an afterlife would entail. Theres no good reason to believe that a bunch of Bronze Age farmers had any insight into the mind of God. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist. Libertarian socialist. |

Topic | Arguing with a hypocritical Christian you know.... |
AloneIBreak 01/25/22 6:40:23 PM #15 | Theres nothing inherently virtuous about being godly in the first place, so I really think a change of thinking on your part is probably necessary to overcome this conflict with your more devout friends. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist.

AloneIBreak 01/24/22 4:35:46 PM #12 | Alpha218 posted... People argue that aim assist is overturned in Apex Legends. Whether theyre right or just salty that they died is another thing Love listening to mouse and keyboard players bitch about aim assist, as though they dont have any tangible advantages over controller players. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist.

Topic | Republicans favored over democrats at Historic level. |
AloneIBreak 01/23/22 4:51:11 PM #78 | Hop103 posted... This attitude of yours is part of why your side are losing voters in droves. The democrats of today are nothing like the democrats of the 1990's and 2000's. The current party is just angry, vengeful, and in the case of the far left, bloodthirsty; there's no balance and very little sanity to be found. Youre conflating the loud, angry progressives with the mainstream democrats. Even still, I think theres far more balance and sanity amongst the progressives than their angry conservative counterparts. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist. Libertarian socialist. |
