  • Many have told me about “their god” and I take their word for it.

    Resultantly I believe in all of “their gods”.

    I’m following so far

    And I drew a conclusion about that guy.

    What do you mean “that guy”. I thought we just established these are multiple guys?

    I think “god” is a piece of shit unworthy of praise and we should seek to destroy and erase it.

    What do you mean “it”? Don’t you mean “them”?

    I hate god and have no respect for god-fearing people and no tolerance for their “beliefs”

    Why are you talking about a singular God here? It reads like you’re blaming Yahweh for Zeus’ sexual behaviour and you’re blaming Hanuman for the Great Flood.

    These aren’t the same character. Each “God” claim needs to be evaluated separately.

    For example why do you hate Persephene so much? Why is she a piece of shit. You claim to believe in her right Your reasons shouldn’t include examples from the Bible.

    Which supernatural make-believe system (read: religion ) is tolerant of my supernatural make-believe system?

    You might find company among the Satanic Temple or other Satanists.

    You said “Buddhism” was ruled out but you didn’t actually clarify so until you present your reasoning I’d say Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Jainism all lacking God’s are partially compatible.

    I mean to be fair there’s not going to be a great answer because this isn’t a real question but a gotcha. And I say that as an atheist.

    You obviously don’t actually believe in all the gods, your earlier language shows you haven’t thought enough about what that means and force them all into the same one God.

    The Hittites believed in “all the gods” and absorbed every new God of neighbors they conquered. But they truly believed in these gods, not as a gotcha question but they really believed in the power of these entities.

    Regardless of personal moral views on their behavior, outwardly taunting that being seems silly in light of genuine faith.




  • But times change and the cost of free tier users surpasses that of paying users. Should the company continue providing the same level of service for free tier users?

    “Times changing” here seems to be the central trick to the argument.

    What’s interesting about enshittification is that as the company gets more and more profitable there seems to be more and more excuses as to why these free features are so costly.

    It’s very easy for a company to put out a statement that times are changing and that the free tier is unaffordable. Is that always true? Who’s to say?

    I’m sure sometimes it is true but the doubt is why arguments like this will never go away.

    Also, what other term than entitlement would you use for somebody gets something for free, is not promised that it will stay free forever, the free offering is cancelled or limited, and the user starts complaining?

    What other term than incompetent would you use for a company that puts out a free product, attracts a bunch of free users, abruptly cuts access for those features and puts it behind a paywall, and then acts surprised when those same users complain about it.

    If you want to make a business move go ahead, it’s your right, but accept the complaints from your user base you predictably pissed off.
