Democracy without the rest of Enlightenment Liberalism is just another kind of of tyranny.

But we’re not rid of them yet, so who was right?

For men. Women can theoretically (theologically?) live forever.

Before God limited the span of a man’s life (headcannon: via the prostate).

Skip all my classes for a semester and play TES: Oblivion instead. When I failed to graduate on time she was like “our life paths don’t line up” and was outta there.

I was going through some shit, and in retrospect, it may have been the shit I was going through and not the wasted semester, which was just a symptom, that was the problem. I continued that downward spiral until I spent a stint homeless.

The point of the passage isn’t that you don’t need food or clothes to live. The point is that worrying about the future is a distraction from the present, and that focusing on your temporal needs is a distraction from spiritual health. It’s a message about the pointlessness of selfishness and greed.

Also, elsewhere it’s stated that the span of a man’s life is much shorter than 300 years. After a certain time, the prostate puffs up and kills us. So trying to live to 300 is a futile distraction anyway.

I’ve love a federated online game. Hmm, maybe a MUD? Or some kind of sidescrolling platformer? Or a text adventure?

Shit, I bet I could code a federated text adventure based on ActivityPub. I’ve done crazier things on with Internet protocols.

I’d say the Nordics are somewhat economically left-wing.

They’re not socially progressive, no.
