Two years is a masters, not a PhD. Still worth doing.

A PhD thesis is approximately equivalent to someone working full time on a specific subject for four years, if you include coursework and such into the time.

I think there are inside jokes that only the tabletop DnD people catch too.

Ok, that makes alot of sense. I’m like the person who watched the movie and think I know what the book is like (but really the book is much better).

That’s really social and positive.

In a way, you respect yourself by not sinking to their level.

DnD is kind of a cross between improv, telling stories, and a choose-your-own-adventure, from what I gather from my spouse who runs games for a living. Playing Baldurs Gate 3 was really eye opening and I think the game helps one understand the appeal of tabletop RPGs a bit better.

I’m sorry about that.

And keep trying until you find the right therapist/therapy that works for you. There is huge variation in quality and effectiveness.

Brainspotting has been lifechanging for me. Took me decades to find it though.

It was just a showerthought, but this platform turned it into an interesting discussion. How amazing.

I have read that it is important to create content for Lemmy, in order to feed it. This has been my first post, I think. Better to get it done than put it off. I am glad people have been able to discuss.

Yes, I think your comment captures my showerthought. It was an excercize in empathy. I do realize that the love for a sacred animal is significantly more profound than the way I feel about my dog. That being said, I do have respect and love for my dear canine companion, which causes an inhibition for eating him.

I too like cows. They make sense to me.

The eating-a-human thing is symbolic. I take it as a reminder to have respect for the sacrifice made by the animals that died to make the food we eat. They support our life and so a level of respect is called for.

People think of Jesus as an avatar, like god playing a computer game on earth. So in that sense Jesus is video game god.

I hate the whole hellfire thing. It seems very manipulative.

You are right, I’ll delete my comment. I didn’t realize that homeopathy meant those crazy people that use ridiculous dilutions. I heard that it’s improbable that even 1 molecule of ‘active’ ingredient is left over after they dilute and dilute.

I used to eat the communion wafer, so maybe that’s the source of my misunderstanding! Always cool to learn something new, thanks.

I think it boils down to “and ye harm none, do what ye will.”

He’s in the meat closet.

Considering we are eating a god right in front of them, they are remarkable civil about it all. I’m not a fan of religion either, as I’ve seen it bring out the worst in people. I wish there was more patience, understanding and empathy in the world.

What kind of vacuum did you upgrade to, if I may ask? I am in need of a good robot servant.

It’s perhaps stupider than that. The guy couldn’t take getting made fun of on Twitter, so he bought and killed it.
