The comment was on this video which is really good. It touches on this concept with the differentiation of “explicit” vs “passive” atheism.

“Is atheism a religion” is an interesting question because it frames what may be a non-religious worldview in the context of religion. Kind of like how “is not collecting things a hobby” could potentially be framing minimalism (or just simply not collecting stuff) in the context of collections.

I feel like this can apply to the “is atheism a religion” conundrum too. Do atheists follow a religion wherein the believe there is no god? Or do atheists not even entertain this unless forced to, because their fundamental worldview doesn’t even include the question of deities?

Minimalism is not “the act of not collecting stamps (or other things)”, i think of it more as a different fundamental frame of mind. But stamp collectors will often see things through a lens that contextualizes everything relative to the collecting of stamps (or not.)

I think they assume we just write about it

This makes me wonder… is a timelapse capturing the progression of a 3D print technically a representation of 4D printing???

This it totally true and important to remember!

I was mostly talking about the “lacks critical thinking, thrives on fear mongering, easily duped into controversies without much evidence” aspect of it. THAT ratio is a lot closer between the two sides. Not equal! But much closer than 900/1.

Dark Souls 2 did try this, but in a totally sucky way. Adaptability as a stat was awful.

You just insulted half my family! I’ve been meaning to do that, but I keep biting my tongue 😜

I will say though, we got a lot of nutters here on the left too. This description fits both ends of the seesaw.

Wait, I thought he was a chimer god… so what are Almalexia and Sotha Sil up to these days?

OpenOffice is fantastic, too!

I appreciate that, little red squirrel, but… that’s not holly. And I need a lot more than that, like I’m talking a couple boughs.

That’ll go nicely in the wreath, though. Just don’t eat the berries! They’re made of plastic.
