  • Pascal’s wager is a defense of theism in general, not a specific flavor of theism. If you accept that there is a God, any God, then you can reason and argue about which way to worship her is correct.

    If you do not believe that God exists, however, then the particularities of which godhead you worship are irrelevant trivia.

    If God or Brahman or Kamisama exist, then they are aware of the imperfect worship flavors that they receive and have appropriate accommodations included, if they are worthy of worship at all. (Please note that Zeus is not included in this list, because that guy’s just a rapist bastard.)




  • Assuming you’re a US citzen:

    1. Identiy that the fault is how we fund healthcare, not “government meddling” or “bad researchers”.
    2. Pick a major political party.
    3. Register as a member and find out where your local meetings are.
    4. Make clear that the ONLY issue you care about is fixing healthcare.
    5. Volunteer, donate, or run if you can.
    6. Vote in every general, primary, or special election for whomever makes fixing healthcare a priority. Spoil if you must, but VOTE.
    7. Dont fall for lies.

    Fixing healthcare funding is itself broadly popular, but since its inherently unprofitable to care for sick, disabled, or elderly people all possible fixes are either “socialism” or “die quickly”

    Healthcare should be like roads or schools or calling the police, not like cars or contractors or hiring a lawyer.


  • For actual fast food - - that you can order in a drive-thru and not have to wait around for - - the best around here is honestly Wendy’s. They’re not anything id pay $20 each for, but their average burger is better than their just-as-fast competition.

    If by “fast” you really mean “without waitstaff”, they’re all great. 5 guys, smashburger, fuddruckers", and a dozen tiny chains all make burgers worth paying a premium for.

    About the only place NOT worth getting a burger at is anyplace with waitstaff. They just dont take them seriously enough to do a good job, and wind uo about as good as a slightly well-run McDonald’s.
