Mine were too, zero cavities at 37 years old with mediocre tooth care, I didn’t even floss. Then I moved somewhere they don’t fluoridate the water and I also went vegan. No fluoride + low calcium = 3 cavities in less than 3 years. Needless to say I now floss, brush with a fluoridated toothpaste, and take calcium supplements.

Give this guy a wood block!

I call it the numbing hour. It’s only scheduled as a half hour but it always runs for nearly an hour. I never speak for more than two minutes, I just stand there as my motivation to do literally anything for the rest of the day burns down to zero. Sometimes I wake up 110% motivated with a list of stuff I can’t wait to get done, fortunately the numbing hour is first thing everyday ensuring that I am always fully neutralized.

Seek out and meet a christian anarchist. Those folks are badass and will change your idea of christianity’s potential (I’m agnostic).

Core spirituality vs institutional religious baggage

I actually take a critical eye to the word “work” itself and think that it’s too encompassing a term. In our society it’s a blanket word that covers all labor. From punitive, fruitless toil all the way up to invigorating, actualizing applications of trained skill. Lots of what we call “work” are actually things we could want for ourselves in a utopia and would miss without, while IRL we’re currently on the crest of an economic trend in which the majority of society are trapped in ultimately meaningless and forgettable toil under wage coercion. Literally just being kept occupied and oppressed.

Put very simply I think you can slice our current idea of what work is into two halves, work that removes happiness from ourselves and society and work that adds happiness to ourselves and society. As utopians I think a society that contains only the latter is a reasonable prize to keep our eyes on.

You could literally describe early christianity as the spiritual arm of a revolutionary front.

Yup, but Lemmy is a federated service so if that fact makes you uncomfortable or something you can always spin up a liberal instance with corporations and classism.

Heaven was literally [re]invented to be a description of utopia specifically so that toiling workers wouldn’t get distracted trying to create it on Earth.

“oooh heaven is a place on earth” take that shit literally, fam

I’ve always pronounced it “In-jen-iks”. I blame Jurassic Park and it’s fictional biotech company InGen, but it does kinda also sound like “eugenics”. But I dunno man, if you want everyone to pronounce your software a specific way maybe spell it in a manner where the pronunciation is more obvious? Just a thought.
