I really doubt music is a serious expense, it's basically just a shallow reskin of the main app. It's like complaining YouTube Kids is bundled with premium.

Thanks for the recommendation! Spent this evening playing it, and it's everything I was hoping Slay the Spire would be. Slay the Spire is still great, of course, but deckbuilding has always been my least favorite part of card games.

Lol, you have to be gullible to think the conservative politicians actually cares about balancing the budget. If we cut off Ukraine they'll just go back to their old excuses for screwing over poor people.

If the project is less than a thousand lines of code in a language with a garbage collector, it probably is. Most other problems don't require learning a DSL to handle them, and most other DSL's aren't nearly as terse.

Did you even try to find them? I'm on my phone and I still had no trouble locating them.

Nah, too vague, that describes all social media

Constitutional republics are just a type of democracy, and the US is already both. What distinction are you trying to draw?

Irrational, yes, but not fundamentally so. Without supernatural beliefs, they'd have to at least think that they care about empirical reality. Their beliefs would be falsifiable, whether they're willing to acknowledge it or not.

When you throw religion into the mix, though, you can't even guarantee that much. Were the beliefs of Heaven's Gate wrong? I'd like to think so. Can I prove that? Not in the slightest, because supernatural beliefs like their founders' "revelations" are fundamentally unfalsifiable. For all we know, there's still a chance they were right, and that all 8 billion of the rest of us are still under the thumb of the "Luciferians".

That fundamental inability to be reasoned with, which I would consider fundamentally irrationality, is unique to supernatural beliefs. Even if they don't take it nearly as far, it's still a concern I have with other religions. I'd like for people's moral ~~beliefs~~ judgements to at least be ostensibly possible to reason with.

EDIT: "belief" is a bit too nebulous on second thought.

It's especially difficult to argue against supernaturall beliefs. It means they don't even have to pretend to care about reality.
