Ah yhea seeing these all over Toronto. I ain’t against it (though not for it either). But I do know that nearby OCAD is a supposedly very pro Marxist art school with the resources to mass produce flyers and stickers. So this is is probably just someone’s homework.
- Comment on Does one's autism affect their religious beliefs? Why or why not? 7 months ago:
Agreed, I’m new too the community but I am sure if OP asked this in autism@lemmy.world it would be just fine. Folks there are very kind.
In my family we’d joke Star Trek was closer to our religion then any other nonsense. We’d at least have a ritual around gathering as a family to watch it. I’m the only diagnosed one but I assume my family is thick with Nerodivergency. Also I’m not even that into trek.
When I was about 6 my older brother told me Santa didn’t exist and I was like “yhea that makes sense”. He also mentioned God didn’t exist and again and I reponded “well of course not”. At some point in my life the existence of Santa was more believable then the idea of God.
Growing up I was exposed to so many differnt cultures, differnt Gods. I think they are all valid, it is important to be secular within reason. Honestly, I’ve been a part of enough nerdy Fandoms over the years to see the parallels. I’d no more insult the Christian God then I whould Picard.
More to the question though it may have to donwith the whole sense of community and belonging thing.
From my understanding churches are a pretty vulnerable experience, there’s signing (potentally loud singinging), confessing of sins, forced friendliness, and positive expressions, and higtened emotions. It seems incredibly socially draining. If I had to do that unto school I’d have had a considerably more breakdowns as a kid.

I am sorry and you’re welcome 😆

I was thinking about Dungeon Keeper recently. I was really hoping since 2 Point revived Theme Hospital the may do the same for this other Bullfrog classic.
I have not heard of this FX thing. I may have to try it out. I always felt there was a lot more potential to this game that was never recognized. Maybe this will do a better job of it.
Has anyone done anything with Populous?

It also forbids stagnation, it can built a bigger and better holiday

We can have these without the commercialism can’t we? Homemade decorations and costumes have more value and the act of making them with your family provides the time to talk about what these traditions are about.

Now what happens to a religion that is, for the most part, now separated from capitalism?

I wouldn’t be shocked at protest over Walmart not selling 20foot glitter crusted crucifixes or whatever. But I think most know the difference between defiance of religious values and non-compliance. I’m for up north though so there’s a little less zeal.
Also shooting up a Walmart probably ain’t the best move. Folks there are likley armed to the teeth and itching to shoot back.

I’d call that the shock period. But imagine that would be temporary and less bad then we think.
Eventually I’d hope for less stores that only open for the holiday season and only hire for the rush. Things could just spread out more and we’d all be less dependent in revenue created from one event. We could focus our buying power on useful things and less cheap plastic crap bought to appease old rituals.
All very optimistic and unrealistic thoughts though

It pretty subjective I don’t know much about Thanksgiving as a Canadian we have we have a differnt one then the US. I never understood what ours was even about other then turkey. So if it’s religious then I honestly had no clue.
As many others have pointed out. If we strip all meaning of these events and just make the entirely commercial then it doesn’t much matter if they where intended as religious events or not.
With that in mind I wonder if separating the events from capitalism might actually empower them…

No worries. It was shocking relivent for a wrong post.

Also the complete lack of context to why I’d ask the question. I could be a writer, this could be some nefarious data scheme, or im just dumb and curious. Doesn’t really matter.
Really I’d just been watching somthing like Defunctland and hearing about cool ideas that failed because they where not profitable enough.
I wondered what if that happened to religion. What might that look like. How many people whould it take to stop giving a crap about Christmas for companies to just be like “yhea lets just not do that anymore”. And without Christmas would the rate of those engaged in Christianity just fall slowly? Whould that be all it takes?
Probably not. But figured I’ll get some alternative perspective.

I mean that’s possible but whould they even need to? If one company had a “Christmas sale” and other had a “boxing week blowout” will folks even care, or will they just go to what place has the better deals?

Thanksgiving and black Friday are not religious so they’d stay I imagine.

Didn’t he order all of his unfinished works destroyed (by a streamroller) specifically so people whould never read it?. Seems a bit disrespectful to dig up his work.

Thank you, I had to bug the support line a bit to figure it out, but they agreed I needed to use this guide and helped me out. My inbox is now a little safer thanks to your advice.
- Comment on How do email scammers spoof my email? 9 months ago:
I see. I think this is that case. It was in the spam folder. So it sounds like the new mail service is doing all it can here.
I’d also gotten a few fake Amazon fliers form like “vapedemon69.com” which somehow didn’t get marked as spam so I’ve been concerned that the junk prevention may really suck. But at least it seems to be marking the spoofed ones as ok.

No Ls also nothing in my sent box and it was marked as spam so rhe mail service knew somthing was up with it.

Well crap
I pretty much only have my domain for my email adress. It’s also a back up plan should my career take another nose dive and I need a portfolio. Gsuite was good for all that.
I’m not quite in the loop with best options for that kinda thing. And I been using the email for contract work for over a decade now. So I don’t want to give that up. Would cloudflare be good for that as well?
