I had a good laugh at "CyberStuck" and "hunk of junk"

The non-historicity of Jesus has never had traction in scholarship. Mythicism is rejected by virtually all mainstream scholars of antiquity, and has been considered a fringe theory for more than two centuries. Mythicism is criticized on numerous grounds such as for commonly being advocated by non-experts or poor scholarship, being ideologically driven, its reliance on arguments from silence, lacking positive evidence, the dismissal or distortion of sources, questionable or outdated methodologies, either no explanation or wild explanations of origins of Christian belief and early churches, and outdated comparisons with mythology. While rejected by mainstream scholarship, with the rise of the Internet the Christ myth theory has attracted more attention in popular culture, and some of its proponents are associated with atheist activism.

Anarchism is leftism, where is the contradiction? And I hope that most people in this community believe that nation states and their governments are not efficient to make the world a better place and on the contrary are one of the reasons billions of people suffer and die.

But it may be something to work towards to, isn't it? Or at least get rid of these societal taboos?

Where I live and grew up (Germany), there isn't that much of a taboo on nudity. I liked showering in my gym for example where there is only a shared (gendered) shower. Since starting my transition I wouldn't feel welcome in any gendered shared public shower however. I would really like to stop hiding my body but instead feel more included among cis people. One day I hope...

I still prefer going swimming naked (if there are not too many people around) because it avoids gendered swim wear. At most lakes in Germany you can find people going swimming naked or with swim wear. Just coexisting :)

That sounds really nice!! Unfortunately it is hard to find such a space where people who are non-binary or have bodies that don't fit into the gender binary can go to and feel welcome :'(

Maybe it's just generational trauma of our ancestors starving that is passed on...

 

I've never been into torrenting stuff but usually just do streaming via the usual sites (I usually use any site that fmhy recommends). However, I've noticed that most pirate streaming sites have much slower load rates and need a long time to buffer than commercial streaming sites. This often means that I cannot watch an episode in full but have to pause to buffer... As you can tell, I'm a total noob. What can I do to have a nicer experience streaming pirated content?

(And sure, that's probably why people get into torrenting. I already got a raspberry pi that I intent to use for this, but I couldn't find the energy to set it all up yet.)

Wow, this sounds so cool!!! I made a faux black tea the other day using Chamaenerion angustifolium (I fermented it a bit as well). But it didn't really come close to real tea for me. Maybe I'll add something fragrant like you did to enhance the flavor a bit :)

What a nice post, thanks for sharing :)

Haven't heard of the new jersey tea plant before (I'm European) but it sounds so cool! Do you use it for anything in particular? Like making tea?
