We’re all having a midlife crisis leave us be

A lot of people genuinely believe that permanent disability isn't a thing that happens to good people who work hard and make responsible choices. A lot of people genuinely think that we get the life we work for and deserve. And this is definitely part of the explanation for why ableism is so prevalent

Needles to say, this is a very christian mentally

This is very much NOT a Christian mentality, this is closely related to the heresy of "prosperity gospel".

There's literally an entire book in old testament dedicated to calling this idea bullshit

‘how would other people describe you’ why would i know this

Whatever you probably believe about the psychology of cops, I believe about the psychology of prosecutors. I don't think anyone who chooses to become one is a psychologically healthy person. I don't think defense and prosecution should be separate specializations like they are e.g. in Poland, I think prosecutors should be chosen by sortition and rotated often, to avoid getting stuck in the mindset.

In light of recent developments on xitter, I now double down on this proposition, also for the psychological health of attorneys. Turns you one can get too into defending murderrapists.

suggest movies for a normie movie night

The Man in the Iron Mask(1998)

I think The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) is more fun for everyone.

Clue (1985) is super cozy and funny

Hidalgo

Evil bong

Fantastic Mr Fox

I looked it up, and while the argument regarding Disney Plus is definitely stupid, Disney did not kill her, they just rented space to the independently-owned and -operated restaurant that did.

oh boy! something in my mailbox from the IRA? I wonder what it could be!

I think it's silly when people try to frame "in many religions the question of If All That is *real* is actually not very important and the question of 'belief in god' is a very protestant thing" as evidence of those other religions being like. cooler. Only american protestants care if The Divine is literally real and does things?? and this is supposed to make me respect the other religions *more*? I can understand being careful wrt polytheism or non-lord-of-creation type gods, and yeah being religious/spiritual ≠ believing in a specific god or gods, but "we have a bunch of personal and social restrictions and norms and rituals based on some shit that may or not be real idk, what i care about is enforcing rules and norms" is not a position I can respect easily...
