Me before reading the article: It's got to be dates. Excel thinks everything is a date.

What are your thoughts on the concept of having faith in a Higher Power but choosing to distance oneself from established religious doctrines?
Anyone else think it’s cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?
Religion does not have a monopoly on morality, despite what many preach. Be kind, and believe what you want.

We also don't need yet another self-obsessed septuagenarian calling shots that will have ramifications long after they're dead. Especially one who owes their wealth and influence to fucking coal.

Moms for Liberty and the ‘parental rights’ agenda flopped in 2023
Reply in thread
They're already learning this.
I am in a solidly blue district. 4 out of the 7 school board candidates, ALL of the non-incumbents, were running on some sort of "family values" or "parents' rights" platform. A couple of them were within a few hundred votes of taking a seat last year. This year, their statements to media were highly scrubbed because they knew to tread carefully and avoid the dog whistles. And this week, one of them unseated an incumbent (and the only POC in the group). I'm glad the trend is going in the right direction nationally. But I wouldn't call for a victory lap just yet.

I never would have guessed that Musk is a billion times worse than Lex Luthor, but the math is right there. Terrible.

Im sure that there are other lifeforms in some other system just not the flying sorcerer type.
Ugh, I hope you're right. Flying aliens would be bad enough. But if the bastards can muticlass and use magic as well... we'd be doomed.
