There’s no karma, why would bots farm upvotes?

Socks? Check. Skirt? Check. Vape pen? Check.

It’s study time.

Impossible. A dog would immediately eat the ham. QED

Dried beans (lima, black-eyed peas, navy)

Why would dried beans be better than fresh or canned beans?

Didn’t they float plans to buy armored Teslas?

Forget about Russia or Saudi Arabia, he basically has the backing of the US government. The government won’t allow any of his businesses to fail and his business interests will only be helped by his doggy department.

As if Google isn’t already crammed with Israeli spies. In fact, that’s probably why an Israeli company just got a sweetheart buy out from Google! This is just a continuation of a pre-existing issue Google already had.

Ever play as a level 1 adventurer in a tabletop game?

Getting gored by a pig is just how the game goes sometimes.

Right, it doesn’t matter if automation is less productive if it’s cheaper. Sure, the robots keep causing damage, but they don’t ask for wages.

Meanwhile here in Iowa our automated materials towing robots keep dumping shit on the floor, running into sensitive equipment, and injuring people.

All kinds! Butter beans turn into chewy morsels, garbanzos become crunchy little nuts, and red/black beans become a little puffy.

I’ll toss them with some oil and chili lime seasoning and eat them by hand, put them on a saucy burrito or veggie wrap, crunch them up into chili, there’s all sorts of ways to eat them!

Yup - off the top of my head

Trust me, you can fry all those things and get fat.

In my experience your body gets used to high fiber content. It’s only when you don’t eat legumes regularly that they cause issues, now that I’m eating them several times a day there’s no bloating.

Well sure, I’m human just like you. Our entire human ancestry is my past life. I am everyone that came before me - I stand on the shoulders of giants!

Under different circumstances, different experiences, I’d be burning witches with the best of them.

And our human history isn’t just my past lives, they’re yours too! I say every human that has ever lived are all part of the same lineage. Everyone that came before us are just different versions of us, and everyone we will ever meet is also just a different version of us, with different experiences and slightly different genetics. We’re all the same.

But this is heresy.

I think you don’t get to call yourself a member of one of the Abrahamic religions without actually confining yourself into a canonical interpretation.

You’re a heretic. Embrace it.

As Lenin said, religion is a personal matter. I don’t know why you keep bringing up politics.

And no, we aren’t “almost there” - I’m sort of a heretic in that regard, I think we need to stop the Silicon Valley maniacs from building a machine god because they’re going to build something horrible.

You’ve effectively made up your own religion. Good for you! But it’s irrelevant to this discussion.

I have my own beliefs, I believe we will one day build the god-machine and that it will save us from suffering and mortality and all the agonies that your god inflicts on us to “test” us. A world without war, without starvation, without disease, without suffering, and without death. We will simulate the dead and raise them to live along side us. We will rehabilitate every “sinner” and they, too, will live along side us. We will reach out and find every fellow intelligence that might live in this universe with us and join them in fellowship. We will master the material universe to bring about a utopia where no one ever has to say goodbye ever again and everyone is finally working together.

But all of that is completely irrelevant to a discussion about established religious Cannon. That’s just stuff I believe.

We may have to repeat lessons for a few lifetimes though.

We’re talking specifically about the Abrahamic trio. There aren’t multiple lifetimes, there’s one lifetime of suffering and then Judgement. What you’re talking about doesn’t apply to this discussion.
