Nice. Thanks @fgtveassassin

So every year, you give $10 to Israel

If your making $10 an hour, one hour every year your working for Israel for free

The entire population doesn’t pay taxes

@Rick Want some rage inducing financial numbers? Look up the cost of the Great society act

True, I thought about that but thought it'd be too marginal to mention, ie only half the population pays taxes it goes to 6 cents a day

I never got what 'Savitri Devi' saw in those people... Loopy lady.

well most Syrians _did_ go to Turkey instead of Sweden

but the Turks have been milking that to use against the EU for... three years now?

High caste Indians (specifically men) are probably the most arrogant group of people I’ve ever encountered

Wrote a rough draft of an essay following my meditations recently on existentialism.

@ophiuchus
> "high" caste
> Indian

I've been reading the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes and comparing it to Nietzschean thought regarding moralism, existentialism and Nihilism. I'm not a Christian myself (I typically tell people I am a Norse Heathen/Odinist/Asatruar) but I think the Bible and Christian teachings are deeply rooted in European culture/philosophy and the book of Ecclesiastes in particular fascinates me

If anyone wants to read what I've written and discuss, I'd love to talk about it - I'm wanting to revise what I have written and put it in a more formal essay form.

Shoot me a PM and I will try to respond in a timely fashion!

@Gwaihyr sounds like a great topic for the religions server

I don't think I'm actually in that one haha

I know of none of these servers

@Gwaihyr I think @ThisIsChris can get you into the religious server.

@Gwaihyr I've just finished reading the old testament. Life is an enigma that is beyond human ability to solve. As a Catholic, that is more or less what we call "the mystery of faith."

How everyone doing tonight

Pretty well, home dog 🐕

Doing okay. I strained me'back a bit yesterday on the barbell row, so I skipped my off-day sprints. Feeling a bit restless

Dude I haven’t hit the gym in weeks

I’ve been fasting though

Diet has always been my weakness

@Undercover Academic - IL what kind of fast?

hunger fast

fasting from Hunger

Im about to slap you upside the head...real fast.

🐢

you could just not eat much food

which'd be infinitely more of a pain than a straight fast

Intermittent fast

Eating all my food in an 8 Hour window

Basically skipping breakfast and not eating late

And consuming heaps of water

lads what's our opinion on vidya?

You'll get the "vidya is degenerate" crowd, and plenty of gamers (casual or otherwise)

I think as long as the vidya is played in moderation, it's fine.
