Religion is an old form of it is what is, hope, direction, tradition, and community.

Can’t explain a thing or understand it God’s will or only God knows. Can’t do anything to help a person because they are in surgery pray or talk to God to wish for good outcomes.

Don’t feel loved or know what to do or wanted. God loves you, will show you the way, and wants you.

Most traditions and communities in the west were founded on a religion so you have hundreds of people to connect with at a church and maybe millions world wide that will help. Those raised on books of wisdom or what is right and wrong still tend to keep the values even after they move away from the religion but realize they can have values without divine beings

Lastly control. Just like businesses it is easier to control people under a religion so if you can get people indebted, traditionalized, and ostracized otherwise. You can control people easily. Lots of people don’t know what to do and why trust another human being but if a human being says wisely God said this it is easier to accept and gain a direction

Maybe true but water is essentially free around here apartment doesn’t charge we have plenty of water. 30 min showers are minimum for me

Terminal inputs seems like coding. Back in the day you can mess with everything by coding. Having to spend time on forums and searching Google to fix problems that are Terminal inputs only is not something people want to do and what people are passionate about a thing or it is their hobby do.

Most people use what is in front of them, works, and what they are use too. I don’t have time to fix the wifi issue on my 10 year old linux laptop I just plugged it in. Other option is to reinstall windows every 6 months

That is the cool thing you can retire at 55 and then do more of what you want maybe take a part time role or just find a new job or hobby. Then with the excess income you are so secure you can just fly to Paris if you want or go spend time with your kids for a month without worrying about bills or having the pressure of work.

I prefer my desktop. But I can game 6 hours of not more of my work day since my job is to make sure the Internet works and stare at an email. So 99% of my gaming is on my laptop

How many Israelis support idf or Israel? Hamas and Hezbollah flags are the equivalent to Israeli flags since they are terrorists organizations and governments. Usa supports only one of the terrorists though…I would argue Hamas are rebel fighters. Rebels use terrorism against regimes and occupying forces that kill locals in this case genocide and colonize Palestinians.

Idk hezbollahs deal not informed enough

My man is on another dishwasher rant. This is the short vid

Your comments are very concerning and aggressive to strangers on the internet. Then you overshare and very defensive.

Not sure if you are working on it but the internet may not be for you if you have to trauma dump on everyone.

You sound super passive aggressive about a kid not wanting an ancient console with terrible games. Then you expect them to be happy with a gift he didn’t want.

The stuff about your mom and being in the military makes it seem like you need to go to a therapist even more. Especially if your son’s dad messed with you and you are going through a harassment campaign online which would be weird if they found you on lemmy

Your problems shouldn’t be dumped on your son. This is coming from a son of a single mom who constantly trauma dumped on by his mother.

Get help.

What is the left to you? Does a major party that wins election advocates and brings bills for this platform on a national united scale?

Most Americans can’t afford a $400 emergency and live pay check to paycheck. Car breaks down, emergency medical expenses, emergency house breaks down could all cost over $400. You need a Credit card for that back up that you could eventually pay back by probably sacrificing something else. Need a car need a credit score or you pay $3-10,000 more in interest same with buying a home. Want to rent need a credit check. Want to get a job at a bank, military contractor, some government positions, and other secure jobs. They want to make sure you don’t have bad credit or can’t be taken advantage of . Which no credit is often considered bad credit.
