It a description of what happened.

You are right, faith is always needed.

Don't fall into a fallacy: just because "no deity or supernatural abilities need to apply" doesn't mean that a deity or supernatural abilities haven't applied.

The only honest positions we can take are: I believe / I don't believe.

Re:How to Stay Sane in a World That Rewards Insanity on Thursday November 20, 2025 @05:03AM (#45991003)
Jesus is not fictional.

I get why people say that. Most of us grew up hearing casual claims that he never existed, or that the whole thing is a myth. But the evidence for his historical existence is solid. You do not need to believe in the miracles to accept that a real person named Jesus lived, taught, and was executed.

And if the story were invented, the mind that created those teachings would be just as remarkable as the man himself. Reading the accounts directly is what convinced me. I started from a skeptical place and changed my mind only after going through it.

PS: If you think my first four points make sense, it's possible the fifth one does too, maybe it just hasn't clicked for you yet.

Personally, I really like Luke because of how clearly it is structured.

Social media + recommendation algorithms = echo chambers.

If humanity's mind used to be like a wall covered in colors with long, soft gradients between them, today it looks like a wall painted in vertical color stripes with almost no gradient at all.

I agree with the author's diagnosis but I handle sanity differently. Instead of learning to live inside the noise, what works for me is:

1. Stop consuming feeds and short-form media. No ig, twitter, youtube, etc. When I want content, I choose long-form, meaningful things (or dumb, depending on the mood). Often the best option is to stay in silence, be bored, or take a walk around the neighbourhood.

2. Do not consume news. Do not check the market. Just follow the boring investment plan you already decided when you were calm.

3. Be kind to the people around you. Love your family: wife, children, parents.

Extra, stronger steps that are more personal:

4. Use the phone only to communicate with family. When you get home, keep it in a box.

5. Read the Bible. Even if you do not believe, Jesus is the most impressive human I've ever learned about. When I started reading it I was agnostic.

You are thinking like a manager, but this (as with most of the good things in life) has been built by doers, artisans, and engineers (developers).

This is a problem interesting enough, with huge potential benefits for humanity if it manages to improve anything, which it did.

small bugs happen everywhere all the time

not enough that I cannot use the phone without restarting the app

but enough to piss me off when I remember the phone costs 1.5k

Re:macOS Doesn't Work Anymore on Thursday April 18, 2024 @03:57AM (#40073970)
+1

- inconsistent

- basic functionalities are hidden under nested menus or keyboard shortcuts

- other functionalities are hidden on unrelated apps (scan documents is on notes app)

- spotify cannot playlists download on the background (triggers too many individual downloads, they claim it is to safe battery, I bet apple music has no issues with this)

- notification center: broken UI constantly

- wanna go back? good look: swipe right, or out of reach top-left corner small arrow button

- hard to click small buttons as icons, I have to click everything 2-3 times until I get it right

- no button to ignore incoming calls...

- dynamic island UI broken if you dare to turn the phone horizontally

- files app crashes constantly

- many more issues my brain has forgotten..

Re:macOS Doesn't Work Anymore on Thursday April 18, 2024 @03:10AM (#40073722)
It's very annoying the amount of bugs and issues I encounter on my macbook and the official apple apps that come with it.

Same for iPhone 14 and 15 (me and wife), most bugged phones I've ever used, notification center is constantly broken on both, UI is inconsistent everywhere, super weird decisions like the calculator doesn't have history or to scan a doc I have to use the notes app (wtf)

most expensive and worst software experience I've ever used
