This is a lovely picture. Sorry if I’m being a bother but it looks like there is some mail with identifying info in the photo and I wanted to let you know in case you did not want that.

Sort of. Be a decent person and treat others with decency. If something indecent is about to happen or happening to you or others, do your best to stop it or seek justice, by appropriate means for the situation. Don’t kill someone who threw water at you or kicked your truck.

I have similar thoughts on this. I worked on a homeless prevention coalition with county officials, the nonprofit I worked at, other nonprofits, local hospital officials, local homeless housing services officials, and the local police department, Nueces county PD of Corpus Christi, tx. The majority of police I worked with seemed to really care for the local population, homeless or otherwise. I had the misfortune of one day working with an absolute doofus of a human being. He had on big dark sunglasses(to hide how scared he was I’m sure) and carried himself in a very authority demanding demeanor. He was not helpful in any way that day when we went out to the homeless encampments to do outreach services, which is informing the public of the city and county services available to them. Most of the people I approached said, that guys a bad person he comes here and harasses us even though the city said we have until (future date) to vacate the property. I spoke with my colleagues about him on the coalition, not in a grievance form sort of way just like wow get a load of that guy! They agreed with me about their coworker and told me some other stuff that supported my judging of this person. For a long time I supported the idea of ACAB because if my coworker was doing something harmful to others I would stop them and do everything I could to prevent it. So I blamed other cops for being complicit in the practice like the ACAB idea supports. Now I hold conflicting opinions on it. I think there is a benefit of having a decent person being a public official and enforcer of the law, regardless that they choose to work alongside psychologically unfit and/or violent individuals who abuse the position. Perhaps they keep showing up to work because they work alongside them. I’m still unsure overall but I do know police save lives sometimes. I think all public offices need strict accountability.

Haha I like to be silly at work sometimes after I’ve already paid the big monthly expenses. I say, “I’m here to do two things help kids and pay bills, and I’m all outta bills.” I would continue to work in my field on a part time basis. Then I would make time for a few doctor appointments and start going to therapy again. I’d walk my dog at different parks more often. Hopefully id make more time with my friends and family assuming they have the same deal. I would want to be more involved with my community too.

combs my teethstache inquisitively Do y’all not?

I feel like it’s how my gut flora aren’t responsible for my actions or anything but will suffer my choices and others’ choices involving me.

That’s absolutely amazing. I’m happy to hear that kind of thing exists for people.

lol I did not think about pink eye or consequences from sharing of the device. I’m happy to hear the technology exists though.

May I ask the source?

Thank you for sharing that. It was a lot of fun to read through. At the end I was like, wait how did I end up on this wiki?

Yea I could see benefits to that kind of thing. One of the greatest benefits of religion is the sense of community and belonging it can offer. It’s easy to get wrapped up in delusional thinking, existence is terrifying, especially when anything can happen at any time for no real reason or warning, thinking something will protect you or care for you sounds like a comforting escape. A community of people with the focus theme being embracing non-religion, supporting each other through fellowshipping, meaning meeting regularly and talking about our shared problems, and focusing on helping each other and the community could be a beautiful thing. Without the focus on theme I feel like a lot of these groups exist already. Lots of non-profits to get involved with that offer community and a sense of belonging.

I despise a lot about religion but I have enjoyed seeing the Catholic Church slowly become a bit more accepting of humanity’s nature by being more inclusive with the LGBT population and now seeing this. It gives me hope that religion is capable of growing alongside people and adapting to something better than it is has been and is.

I support religion as long as it gives people a sense of community, hope, and strength. When it starts taking things away, being oppressive, and not holding its officiants accountable for wrong doing, it’s wrong.
