The point is most of it is not board relevant and my removing it from my view does not fix the fact that it's pushing down useful posts for other people.

And the number of upvotes being roughly synchronized between all the .wins, minus the organic interaction they may garner (and upvotes seem applied to all of them at the same time) is mighty suspect and it feels like gaslighting that no one else sees it. Neo might have been spazzing but he had a point

It is spam, most of these are not conspiracy material at all and those that are just barely touch on them.

The user posting them also posts on many .wins at the same time including conspiracy where the mod told them to include a submission statement, they said they would but never did and continued to spam the board with the same posts.

Whether you enjoy AI generated songs or not, it is nevertheless spam

I don't think anyone is as annoyed as you tbh, and so much more than they want to talk about actual conspiracies? I don't know. But hey maybe this isn't a board for conspiracies anymore maybe it's just political news and content creators promoting themselves now

Are you like a Jehovah's Witness or something? My understanding of Job's curse was he cursed the day he was born, to say it was the fact he had a birthday is maybe technically correct but framing it that way seems engineered to a certain conclusion, since the only reason he'd be cursing that he had a birthday is because he wished he weren't burn.

I don't even celebrate my own birthday (though others in my life will force me to) but I find it strange that the Bible contains explicit prohibitions around things like wearing mixed fabrics, rules about circumcision, and all kinds of super specific things, but requires reading between the lines to figure out that God condemns birthdays

But who determines consistency? Therein lies even more wiggle room when consistency with pre-established Scripture is not a requirement for the teaching of a Pope to be infallible.

If a man has proven himself to misrepresent the faith, what authority is given to him?

Vet them, make them sign some kind of contract, only send certain passages to certain people, use an alias (if you were planning to do that when it releases)

I don't know specifically what you're concerned about with a breach of trust but surely there's a solution to it.

Very much a loophole. The Pope was very clear that it was a moral duty to receive the vaccine, it may not have been written into doctrine but he was very clear. So he's not really special? Aside from a very specific instance of issuing doctrine he's just some guy with opinions?

As far as I know the only people ever censured or excommunicated are those who would possibly weaken the Church were they still allowed to associate with it in some way (e.g. high ranking members going to other churches or speaking up directly against the Vatican) so using the fact they didn't censure a huge portion of the members (an action that would hurt the Church by drastically reducing membership) isn't really material

This reply displays a lack of emotional regulation and inability to engage without it being against a strawman, which again, combined with your admitted history, makes a better case for not using marijuana than the content of the post itself

So your claim is that weed makes people liberal? CA, Colorado, and NY were deep blue before the drug's legalization. Yet somehow you're claiming anyone disagreeing with you would take the stance that weed makes people into republicans?

You may not realize it, but your post has made a compelling argument against marijuana usage just not in the way you intended

Just like any substance, such as alcohol or tobacco, the use of marijuana can be beneficial when done by a person with discipline, intelligence, and self-awareness. It can very easily make you into a zombie who is happy accomplishing nothing, but it can have physical health benefits and be a boon to creativity when used correctly.

Based on what I've observed in this world, there is no reason to ever expect the masses to act responsibly without the threat of immediate force. Unless you want to create a police state where all actions are monitored (which has desirable results in some ways but imo the ends don't justify the means and it would probably be in the hands of the malicious anyway), marijuana should be legal and welfare should be depleted. Then, nature will do it's thing to people who self select out of the gene pool

I don't believe the official Magisterial document is required for a teaching to be infallible but understand your point that he was not necessarily making a declaration. Regardless, what you're saying is the head of the faith, when he is directing the faithful, should be ignored when you disagree with him (e.g. when he says it's our moral duty to receive the vaccine)?

Isn't the Church teaching that the Pope is infallible when it comes to issues of morality? So when the Pope says it is the right thing to take in immigrants or our moral duty to get vaccinated then the Church teaching is...?

It's so obvious if you pay a modicum of attention.

But even people who "get it" don't seem to get it. Look at how people constantly say there's a "deep state", and talk about how Joe Biden can't even walk straight, and then turn around and blame Biden for everything going on. It's like most people don't have the capacity to understand basic abstract concepts

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

But what I can't figure out is, what would be the true Christianity? Because there are so many problems with the RCC, but how could God allow heresy to be the word most of the world has heard? It makes me think it's all fake, but in my heart I don't believe that's true. Very difficult to untangle

Some of the best people in cybersecurity are former hackers (or current white hats) who didn't have formal training so they're not necessarily looking to hire "dullards". I do agree with the rest of the assessment

Maybe you'll find this post interesting https://communities.win/c/conspiracy/p/1994fUkKw8/here-are-10-new-christ-the-king-/c The user is told to submit a statement of conspiracy and subsequently apologizes, saying it will be done in the future, but it's never done on the future posts. And yet for an extremely dead board (even compared to here) the posts pull about the same numbers
