Watching Squid Game I’ve never watched it before. Why is it called squid game and is it reality tv or just acting?
I lost my parents in an accident years ago the commercials on TV and all the family oriented things just make me hurt.
I have a trust fund that I gained access to at 21. I’d give it all away for one minute with my parents
Like I wish I could be in a coma from thanksgiving until new years day
public buildings with many restrooms are the best cleaning crews just pull the trash bags out and discard them in one big receptacle they wheel around there are usually several new ones under the ones they toss out.
I dislike discord people are fake and mean.
I’m here because I have no family so I typically dislike all the holiday family oriented stuff. It just reminds me I’m alone.
actually most public bathrooms will use the trash receptacle to store new bags, like if you remove the bag that’s in there they store empty ones under it so they don’t have to tote a bunch of empty trash bags along when they pull the full ones out.
the quality of the bags is usually poor, but if they’re free who cares

Facts are objective propositions that you think should be useful to others, independent of you as an observer. For example, "I like chocolate ice cream" is a fact. "Chocolate ice cream is good" is my subjective opinion.
There are three basic meanings of 'true', as it applies to statements:
Normative. "All bachelors are unmarried." Definitions are social constructs, to the degree that they are used to communicate. They are true because you say they are true.
Scientifically useful. Scientific models that are demonstrably reliable can be useful. Your decision to rely on any particular scientific model is a value judgement. We rely on each other to develop scientific models, along with judgments of reliability. In that sense, science is social.
Mathematically/Logically proven. Unlike scientific propositions, mathematical propositions can potentially be proven true; i.e., free of contradiction in their contexts. The contexts and axioms of mathematics are contrived, and thus, can be social constructs, but the proofs themselves are not.
I think it is confusing and unfortunate that we use the same word to have such different potential meanings.
Maybe I should have called this thread Opinion lol
Well, a soul, in religion and philosophy, the immaterial aspect or essence of a human being, that which confers individuality and humanity, often considered to be synonymous with the mind or the self.
Animals are dichotomous beings. This means that they do have bodies and a particular kind of soul, which gives them consciousness, but they do not have free will. The knowledge of free will gives man the knowledge of what is good and what is evil.
Animals, however, do not have this. Instead, animals do actions based on their “animal instinct” and the “circle of life” where there is a predator and a prey.
However if I’m wrong, and animals do have souls I’d love to come back as one of my cats. They have the easiest best life you can imagine.

I began to ask each time: What's the worst that could happen to me if I tell this truth?
Unlike women in other countries, our breaking silence is unlikely to have us jailed, "disappeared" or run off the road at night. My speaking out will irritate some people, probably get me called bitchy or hypersensitive and disrupt some sensitive peoples serenity. And then maybe my speaking truth will permit other women to speak truth, until laws are changed and lives are saved and the world is altered forever.
Next time you’re wondering should I tell the truth, ask: What's the worst that will happen? Then push yourself a little further than you dare. Once you start to speak truth, people might insult and yell at you. They will interrupt you, put you down and suggest it's personal. But the world won't end.

Trust your gut.
Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast.
The wisest man is the silent one. I Examine actions. I Judge by them.

Trust your gut.
So far in my life my gut has always been 100% correct in retrospect I’ve regretted ignoring red flags.
Reincarnation exists because the soul is eternal.
But we can’t return as insects or animals because they don’t have souls.
