Historically, it works.

If every country on earth had nukes and delivery methods on par with each other, we would never have to worry about nations being at war again.

Nothing would be left alive on the planet, but we would be at peace.

I'm still unconvinced of any God's existence, let alone the Abrahamic God.

But if I did, I'd believe with 100% certainty that this man is the antichrist.

I can't remember the website, but awhile back someone made a blog post that draws parallels between the Bible and real life to show that DT is the antichrist, and as someone who's read it cover to cover, it's creepy how much matches up directly, and how much more could fit a general aspect.

By general aspect I mean like how you could see someone 500-2,000 years ago describing an A-10 Warthog (with the stereotypical angry face painted on the side) as a screeching bird of prey with the head of a lion that spits fire and thunder from its mouth.

Enough fits. Even if you don't believe in an antichrist, the fact that so much lines up with the LITERAL worst possible being on earth should be alarming.

or grater

It still fits.

Everyone else gets the grater or meat grinder.

It's not a phaser, but...... I've thought about it today.

I collect them to pull the battery out of.

I've got a bunch of rc pieces I'll probably never need due to simply not needing all 20 cables or whatever in the pack. So all my leftover jst connectors go to "old" lithium batteries, and I use them as little power banks for my phone, and arduino stuff.

They typically don't last too long, and range between 200-1000mah, but it's something that isn't "taking up space in a landfill or being crushed and setting something on fire"

In theory I agree.

In practice, I can't exactly conduct controlled demolition on entire industries by myself and organizing in any meaningful way gets me alphabet squaded.

What we need us for everyone to get fed up with it at the exact same time and grab the pitchforks and guillotines.

Yes, that's why I have no arguments against the "no jobs" part.

ve never been to a rural area of the country, have you?

I've lived in them almost exclusively.

I once got in trouble because I asked my mom how she knows Christianity is the correct religion, as I had been getting fascinated by dead religions.

The conversation was roughly

MoM: because the Bible is inspired by god, and it's infallible.

Says who?

M: the people who wrote it.

The dozens of middle eastern men over hundreds of years? Most of whom never had contact with each other, and then many hundreds of years later a bunch of old white European dudes decided to put them in a specific order, and throw out a bunch of things they decided weren't needed?

M: they were all guided by God.

So the entire belief in this is backed up by the fact that it says it's telling the truth and we're just supposed to take it at its word? What if another book was written that said IT'S the only real one and that you have to murder 5 people every day or you go to hell? How do you know which one is actually true and which one you just happened to grow up with?

At this point I was grounded. And told I should read the Bible while grounded. Of course by then I had already read it cover to cover, and wondered why the church I went to was giving these things to children given some passages are pretty graphic or explicit.

Assuming you spend $10 on avocado toast every day, as well as $75 on eating out for every meal, $20 for Starbucks, and ALSO assuming you have $150 worth of monthly subscriptions:

It will take you 25 years to save one million dollars. That's assuming you never get sick, never lose a job, never need to buy a car or have major repairs, or basically any kind of surprise expense or setback that could wipe out savings.

To be the richest person on earth, you would need to save that money every year for over 6 MILLION YEARS
