I'm not religious but I want to make an argument that happens to support Christianity, because, admittedly, what they say is valid. Within the context of Christianity, belief is a choice, and anyone can choose to believe.

Let's use the good old Santa argument: "Can you make yourself believe in Santa after being presented with overwhelming evidence to the contrary? No. Therefore belief is not a choice." My counter argument: you can freely at any time *assume* that Santa is real and assume all that applies as a result of Santa being real. In other words, you can choose to play along. This is very core to how we conduct scientific experiments. For example, you can leave out milk and cookies

Most articles about ED mention general forgetfulness: losing keys, wallet, phone, and being unable to locate items, because of connection between ED and memory. But I haven't seen people discuss this symptom here. I suspect having ED and I don't forget items, but I do struggle severely with recalling and staying aware of things I have to do.

What is the problem with people immigrating to one's country? Is it hurting someone? Why do countries put up obstacles to make immigration difficult? Isn't more people generally better for GDP?

IIRC they started using a different sweetener somewhere around 2020, along with a bottle redesign. The new flavor caused by the sweetener made it intolerable for me, it feels too sweet.

They have a flavor option called "Original" and I'm curious if it's the one without that sweetener. Also, perhaps the formula changed for the better since 2020 in all other flavors, does anyone know?

I have a friend who considers me his best friend. I do not feel the same way, I don't really care about other people that much. We go the gym together, where I'm trying to keep him motivated on his goal to losing weight. I, on the other hand, need to gain weight, but walk alone with him on a treadmill anyway.

So he is getting a treadmill to do cardio at home, and is inviting me to go there with him instead, twice a week, where his wife would feed me dinner, and I wouldn't have to walk along with him.

I feel greatly discomforted about this idea. I don't want to go to his house and hang out there and be fed. Not sure why exactly, perhaps I feel like I have no control over my time this way or

You will likely disagree with my statement, so please let me offer a hypothetical:

Tony Stark is interested in building a servant robot, named Alex. The robot can choose to obey or disobey its creator based on what it thinks about him. The plan is to let Alex come to its own conclusion that Tony Stark is a good man and can be trusted.

Before he builds the robot, Stark tests it in a simulation program. His program can predict everything that will occur in the next 5 hours with 100% certainty, and shows that no matter what, once built, Alex not only disobeys his creator, but runs away and kills two pedestrians - a mother and child. Stark decides it is the price he is willing to pay. He build

In other words, the concept of the soul being transported to heaven or hell immediately upon death. Where is it revealed in the Bible? I don't have the greatest knowledge of the word but from my limited understanding both heaven and hell are established at the end of times, with the dead awaiting the resurrection. Prior to the resurrection the dead are simply that - dead.

In aware of one possible instance in Luke: the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. However, it is a parable, no?

Banking, taxes, insurance, sometimes shopping... why exactly don't you connect those to aliases? If we assume SimpleLogin is as reliable as ProtonMail at delivering mail to your inbox, shouldn't it be totally fine to alias everything? How do you decide that something is too important for SimpleLogin?

So it turns out I can log in under any of the 15 aliases I create. This is different from SimpleLogin and AnonAddy aliases, where a leak wouldn't reveal the destination inbox.

If it doesn't offer extra security, what else can I do with ProtonMail aliases?

I have been a fan of Google products for many years before privacy concerns entered my mind. Especially recently, Google has become astoundingly good at pushing its ecosystem down my throat - all of their services integrate into each other blissfully, and going against the grain is very uncomfortable.

With so much of my personal data being harvested (essentially everything), how come have I not noticed significant improvement in targeted advertising? A lot of ads I see don't even match my very basic demographics, like where I live, my gender, my marital status. I also encounter all the same advertising that other people talk and meme about, such as those terrible mafia ads. The best targeti

It doesn't make sense to store TOTP secret for unlocking the vault in that vault, since you can't retrieve it if locked out. Being able to regain access upon losing all physical possessions seems... important. So how do you manage it?

There are thousands of privacy tools out there, but they are not built into an ecosystem like Google, Microsoft, or Apple. The only service that comes close to this is Proton, which is not yet broad enough to be a single solution to online privacy. What's in the way? People spend so much effort and time to attain and maintain even the base level of anti-corporate privacy that I can't imagine money being an issue. I would easily pay $100-200 each month if it meant that every single thing I did digitally was automatically as private as possible without me having to get involved into the workings of it all.

How can we expect people to want online privacy if the experience of maintaining su

When people talk about secure email practices they often bring up AnonAddy, Protonmail, using multiple email accounts depending on activity, hosting your own domain address, etc. Such strategies are common among people who care deeply about privacy, confidentiality, and anonymity. It makes sense to me. I want to know if any of this is useful if I only care about security.

My goal: to prevent others from authorizing on my behalf anywhere online.

My current situation:

• I have one email account that handles everything. It is linked to my bank accounts, social media accounts, medical and government services, videogame profiles, I use it to communicate with friends and family, I use it when
