I’m straight, been married 32 years, and my wife hates astrology. There’s no dilemma.

2·12 days agoAlso, if they were billions of light years away and they looked at our planet from afar, they would see our planet billions of years ago. No reason to visit. What are the chances of a random visit?

4·12 days agoUFOs are most likely manmade, otherwise probably something other-dimensional like angels or demons. The distances in space are too vast for visitors, the idea breaks down in more than one way once you dig into it.

7·12 days agoI mean if it’s the fastest, why would it really be retired? It’d be like Michael Phelps retiring after his first gold medal.
I’m genx, same both wife and I worked extra jobs during COVID, never worked from home. My boomer parents lived 100x better than me even during their "poor"years. Now retired, they still make quadruple what I do. I make less than I did 25 years ago, and that’s not even making adjustments for inflation. I also have no savings, can’t save when you can’t afford to live. This economy is fucked. We also lived through all of those market upheavals and also the one in the '90s. It’s been straight downhill since the boomers gen.

Yeah this was my experience. People used the slur n***** knockin’ through all of my childhood 70s and early 80’s but as a young adult in the 90s it was doorbell ditching.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the most boring unpopular opinion?English
12·1 month agoChristians are a large group of people and at the same time a global minority. They can be at the same time a significant group and also looked down on by the majority.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the most boring unpopular opinion?English
12·1 month agoBiblically there was 2000 years between Jesus and Abraham, and another 2000 years between Abraham and Adam. Two thousand years after Jesus’ crucifixion is coming up within a handful of years. That’s six Biblical “days”, and God rested on the 7th day. There’s more to the timing people look to based on old prophecy but a lot of things line up for the next maybe fifty years. I’m no expert, but a lot of Christians believe this.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the most boring unpopular opinion?English
25·1 month agoChristianity has a large user base but is unpopular. Jesus is the living God and through him is the only way to the Father. He didn’t come just to forgive us and get us into heaven, but for the kingdom of God to break into every area of life here and now - health, peace, justice and more. We won’t see the fullness until his return but he already came out of the grave once and he said he is coming back. Biblical timelines say we should expect him relatively soon.
In what country is having insurance superior to having care? The care is always the goal.
I would change “health insurance” to “health care”. I have had better care when uninsured and negotiating prices in cash than when I had terrible health insurance I couldn’t afford to use and never got any care.
