It’s very rare that you find anyone on Lemmy/Reddit that actually takes more that eight seconds to critically think about the significance of “religion,” and not just immediately monkey brain into “religion is for idiots.” Alas, I hoped that this particular group think would’ve stayed behind.

A belief is not a religion, and a religion is not a belief. Any one person can be varying degrees of “religious,” and any one person can hold varying levels of belief in a higher power.

I don’t have much else to add because your comment was pretty well thought-out.

Think of your closest friend or family member. Do you “believe in” them?

Ah, but you thought about it for more than a quarter of a second. That’s not allowed.

How should I change my polite behavior to be more accommodating?

My parents raised me to always say “yes sir” and “no ma’am”, and I automatically say it to service workers and just about anyone with whom I’m not close that I interact with. I noticed recently that I had misgendered a cashier when saying something like “no thank you, ma’am” based on their appearing AFAB, but...

If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be?

They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they are, rather than can do, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons. You can take them out at any time in the story’s plot, but for all other people consuming the media, it will be shown that the...

I just want to point out that English’s future tense does exist, but it’s just non-distinct in many cases because, well, as you’ve said, English is fucked.

“We’re eating steak.”

You need context to determine whether this statement is talking about the present or the future. So much of the language is implied contextually that you can just drop off words and assume the listener will understand.

“What are we eating?” vs. “What are we eating tonight?”

It’s so funny because whereas a lot of other languages have rules with defined exceptions here and there, speaking English is more of a theoretical approach.

It feels like English just happened one day and we’re all trying to figure out why.

Yeah, it’s definitely convenient in most cases, I would say. Though it can also be inconvenient when messaging, because sometimes said need to add context can read very unnaturally in an otherwise grammatically correct sentence.

Ever since middle school, my “bless you” interaction has always been:

  • "Bless you."
  • Them: “Thank you.”
  • “You’re welcome.”

And whenever I sneeze, it’s “bless me, thank me, I’m welcome.”

Thank you for attending my TEDtalk.

No, I mean I say the entire thing to myself. “Bless me, thank me, I’m welcome.”

Middle school me started doing it and I’ve put in no effort to stop.

Interesting. I mean, if it’s practical for the usage of your computer, then I would say it counts. What kind of information do you have displayed for your server? Just metadata, or logs?

Edit: posted before I could see your edit. But yeah, definitely checks out. I think I would get so distracted by that, but at most I really only need to be paying close attention to changes in three places at a time, at which point I’ve got to do some window-focus-fu with PowerToys. Cool answer!
