Do people say "so", "ess-oh" or "dot-ess-oh"? The title "a .so" is clunky to the "ess-oh" gang.

Continued issues here. It appears to only be the Search service from my experience.

I hope they go with Taler, personally. Privacy of cash but the required traceability for merchants.

I personally would have liked colours support like Glow has. At least the ability to theme it so we can add colours if we want. Nice tool, though.

I'm certainly not denying them their right to express their thoughts; I'm not sure where you've got that notion from.
Are you suggesting I should not have the right to express my thoughts about their thoughts?

I find the repeated comments of how much parenting 'sucks' and how much childbearing 'sucks' to be distasteful.
It has been the single most incredible experience I've had (5 times over).
I feel like, primarily, the reason why our society isn't having children is because of a growing selfishness and entitlement; which happens to be the very thing that Rome was suffering from when their society was collapsing too.
No, I'm not rich and I'm not old. But I was brought up in a family that cherished loved ones and family. Love was agape, not eros.

The article opening sounds like a bar joke.
Also, I think this point is salient:
> He pointed to the risk of selection bias: those who volunteer are likely to be “spiritually hungering for a mystical experience,”...
I would go further and suppose that any Christian elder or leader who volunteered to do this had already demonstrated their unsuitability to speak on the matter of psychedelics and God.

What a mathive achievement!

This conception unduly desecrates the dignity of any leaders who genuinely converted and falls into the category of a "hot take" by my estimation.

A classic. It was such a joke back in the SA/Slashdot days. I feel like we've come a long way...into the pit...since then.

I've been using Conduit for quite a while now and have found it to be very good.
For ages though it has been missing support for spaces, but support has just landed in the development builds and it is great. I've already updated my service and it has worked as expected.

I love that this is a discussion here. How profitable! There are very few questions that are of greater importance than the one you have alluded to.
I'm a Christian and, oddly, don't suffer from the same existential dread as most admit any more, but I used to be consumed by it.
The simplest way I could say it is this: once you are shown what is behind the curtain and you place your trust in the one who's running the show then dread gives way to overwhelming peace. That's what happened for me and I guarantee that anyone who seeks the same true God will find the same peace.
Easy to dismiss, I know, but I guarantee it's true. Odd, eh?
Part of dealing with your existential dread is accepting the fact that you're right to be afraid, but not for the reasons you first think. This will be a bridge too far for some, but a discerning reading of this could be the catalyst some need: https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/edwards_jonathan/Sermon...

What's wrong with slavery? We're no further away from outright slavery than we were in the 1800's.
The idea of mechanical equality, where all are masters, is absurdism.

I've got Minetest on my machines. Another good one along these lines is Veloren. It's a Rust voxel game along the lines of minecraft and Dwarf Fortress.
