I understand why human connection would feel so important when it's scarce like that. have you been able to find any groups to join that have filled that need?

Would you be willing to share why you feel so drawn to Soto Zen?

Do you actually believe that all religion is abusive?

[-] whitemonster@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

Wow, this is so interesting. I feel like the fact that the Communist Party “stamps out” all types of religion is simply a testament to how important it is for humans to share with eachother something higher than our mortal plane. Would you be willing to share more about your experience with your grandparents, and how the culture has now switched to a vast majority practicing no religion at all?

What type of community were you a part of before you chose to walk away?

[-] whitemonster@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

What about your worldview was incompatible with religion? Secondarily, do you think there is any religion that might be compatible with your worldview?

[-] whitemonster@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

Do you think that religion as a whole is unproductive/useless? Maybe even borderline harmful?

[-] whitemonster@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

That’s Awesome! How long have you believed in God and how did he meet you?

[-] whitemonster@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

Wow! That's so interesting! Have you ever thought about what would need to happen to confirm or deny that what you believe is the “right” religion?

I know this is meant to be a casual conversation and this topic can get deep fast, but I’d love to hear everyone's elevator pitch for their religion or lack thereof. peace and love<3

This is interesting to me. When I originally asked the question, I was mostly thinking about people in relationships and why they wouldn’t want to make that legal commitment. tbh I think not wanting to be in a relationship at all is probably the best reason to not get married. forgive me if im overstepping, but have you always wanted to be single?

I just saw someone else post asking why someone would want to get married, so I'm curious to see the opposite. Within the U.S., you can pretty much marry whoever you want as long as they are of age, and many legal benefits come with that. I personally know a couple who have been together for 20 years, and we live in a state that doesn’t recognize common-law marriage, so they are now considering it. Are there other situations where it simply makes sense to not get married?

Hello all! I’m very casually becoming interested in photography, and my camera is a Kodak PIXPRO. I really enjoy the kind of grainy, vintage look that a digital camera has to offer, and I want to enhance that vibe through editing, but I have no clue where to start. Can someone recommend me a free photo editing application thats compaitable with Mac? thank yall in advance for your sage advice<3

I genuinely enjoyed reading this. I’ve been in a similar headspace and have felt an increasing desire to go back to a simpler way to use tech. are there any other ways in your life you are trying to resist AI?
