I'm a atheist, raised catholic.
I agree religion is a bullshit method of control. But — Repenting isn't so easy, it's not only saying you're sorry for everything. You've gotta repent so hard you feel it in your soul, like it's gotta be physically and spiritually painful. You have to make God Himself believe you. And you have to be willing to accept any just punishment in return.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like all the communities moderated by that dev have been removed:
No problem.
It's too bad because it's perfectly fine for instances, and I suppose apps, to cater their experience. Beehaw was open about their intentions from the beginning and as far as I know, no one gives them shit.
The lack of clear guidelines on who or what gets banned and the near obfuscation of what was being banned made this so much more than it had to be.
Try using more of the banned words, like ACAB and Perchance.
Or try asking directly. The dev posted a ~~tantrum~~ explanation here: https://lemmy.today/post/57096701
It's totally our fault. Our forest and wildfire management is shit.
Just one of the bullshit things we did:
Canada has a policy where lumber companies have to plant enough trees to replace, factoring in natural death, all the trees they log. However, some species of tree are worth more money than others. So they cut down diverse forests to plant one, maybe two species: pine and spruce.
Thing is, there are pine beetles and there are spruce beetles that kill the trees by burrowing holes through the bark. They suddenly had a whole lot more of their favorite trees so there were suddenly a whole lot more beetles. Big sections of forests died at once with the beetles then so overpopulated they spread to healthier, more diverse sections of the forest to kill the pine and spruce there, too.
You can guess what happens to a forest full of dead wood.
In LeakedBB’s early days, it had sections for other types of “leaked” content such as computer programmes and eBooks. But within months, the forum’s discussions were almost exclusively about pornographic images and videos that members claimed had been leaked – implying that it was non-consensual, hacked or stolen content.
Not only that, but they actively encouraged non-con nudes and leaked footage.
That's a good one, too. 'Bite-sized tasks' is now part of my lexicon.
Exactly, it tricks you into believing in yourself. Just don't tell the others, let them find out for themselves.
The best tip I ever learned was the twenty minute rule.
It's daunting to think about carrying a task to completion, but very easy to commit twenty minutes to dishes, cleaning the bathroom, gardening, drawing, whatever. You can get a lot done in an hour by working at different things twenty minutes at a time.
If only. Kinder Surprise toys used to be good, they needed actual instructions to put together. Sometimes they were weapons, intentionally or not. Now you get a Kinder egg and open it up to find just some guy. Not building, no exploration, no pain, just a little plastic guy. This is what's wrong with this generation.
