AnalogyAddict,

I can’t tell you how often I’ve had to say, “I picked my words very precisely.”

AnalogyAddict,

This is your take, from someone who defines themselves as militant? Lol.

It’s absolutely a religion. One of the definitions of religion is “a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance.” The examples you mention are much less narrowly defined. And if they started persecuting people who don’t join their specific method, then yes, they would be, too.

I mean, here you are proselytizing with poorly thought out memes. What’s more religious than that?

AnalogyAddict,

Milk is not typically fortified with B12. Plant based milk is more likely to be B12 fortified.

AnalogyAddict,

I think animals have a better grasp on death than we do.

I bought my first dog at 5 years old. He came with neuropathy in his hind legs that slowly progressed. I’d have to counterbalance him when he pooed so he wouldn’t sink down into it. He had to wear shoes so he wouldn’t wear his nails down to bleeding stumps. He was prescribed meds, but they only helped him with any pain.

One November it snowed early, and on our walk he went down twice. The second time I almost wasn’t able to get him up. I returned home, sobbing, and I told him that I didn’t know what to do. That if he stopped eating, I’d know it was time. (He was always a big eater.)

I brought him his breakfast, and he just looked at me like, “we had a deal,” and refused to eat.

I had to pick him up out of the car, and we petted him until he passed. I still feel guilty as if I should have been able to do more. But I’ll never forget the look in his eyes. He knew it was time, and he accepted it. His only concern was trying to help me be okay.

Intelligence might be largely a human thing. But we have a lot to learn about wisdom.

AnalogyAddict,

That’s not how any of this works. Did you never take reproductive anatomy?

AnalogyAddict,

In school. But I’m sure you could gather the essentials from the internet.

AnalogyAddict,

Let me put it this way, with an imperfect analogy. If you poison the water supply, it doesn’t matter how many people drink from it. They all die.

AnalogyAddict,

Tuna melts on hot dog buns are amazing, just so you know.

AnalogyAddict,

Wilbur was the pig. Babe is a different movie.

AnalogyAddict,

C

AnalogyAddict,

Or just lean forward and ski down the dunes.

AnalogyAddict,

Well, duh.

Here’s a thing: so are sports.

AnalogyAddict,

That’s a false comparison. You can’t lead anything without, to a point, manipulating people. You can manipulate them transparently and for their benefit, or you are manipulating them for your own. The people who lead and run sports leagues are definitely not doing it out of a sense of charity.

Plenty of churchgoers and even pastors are in it to serve people with no real personal benefit. The same can’t be said of professional sports players.

AnalogyAddict,

Sigh.

People use sources of power for their own benefit. I’m not arguing otherwise. What I’m saying is there’s a chance a churchgoer or a pastor is doing it for selfless reasons, where that is never the case for sports.

And your use of superlatives only displays your own ignorance. I’ve met people in power from several denominations, and many just want to help people. Plenty of denominations teach servant leadership. No doubt many people exploit religion. But at least religion generally tries to teach otherwise.

You really should expose yourself to more real people before just parroting what you hear from loudmouths on the internet. Confirmation bias is a powerful thing.

AnalogyAddict,

That’s cute that you think sports aren’t about manipulation.

Growing up in a single denomination is hardly a varied experience.

AnalogyAddict,

Same, but I do a clover and yarrow mix.

AnalogyAddict,

I read “troll in the woods” and spent a good 15 seconds looking for Bigfoot before I realized.

I’m jealous of people who get that kind of forest. Nice shot.

AnalogyAddict,

Definitely some boxer, especially with that energy.

AnalogyAddict, (edited )

That’s not even close to true. Different breeds are meant for different purposes. Humans haven’t been selectively bred for different purposes over thousands of lifetimes.

Knowing the DNA makeup of your dog can help you head off certain diseases, and get a better understanding of their emotional needs.

AnalogyAddict,

So it’s better than original Pixel Dungeon? I gave up on that.

AnalogyAddict,

Hey, my kids both have them. I put them up as the night sky when they were born, so all the constellations are more or less in the right place.

AnalogyAddict,

Throw pepperoni on there, and it’s mine, too.

AnalogyAddict,

Sweet babies have cranky mamas.

AnalogyAddict,

Because—and I’ll say this slowly for you—in this scenario, women are the victims.

Would you demand that the victim of a mugging do their part to stop the mugger from mugging?

AnalogyAddict,

Yes. That is why I said “in this scenario.” Apparently, I didn’t say it slowly enough.
