Well, then don't. Obviously, the laughing emoji is not enough to convey sarcasm?

@thisintegrated Of course. Much love.

You have a very recent history. 1- I didn't ask you. 2- You didn't answer. 3- You ignored the context in which I was asking the question. 4- Your questions imply that you don't understand my question to begin with.

There are various reasons for the sacrifices, and they are not very consistent with one line of thinking among all civilizations. The most sense-making reason for me is insanity caused by fear. People justify doing all sorts of crazy things with crazy stories when they're afraid, and this seems especially the case with sacrifice rituals. It's like they project their fear outwards and try to fight it away in a way that they see fit, so they invent Gods and ghosts and all that out of fear of the unknown.

@thisintegrated Trolling is optional, you know?

That's not an answer to my question. If you don't know, say I don't know. I won't beat you over the head for that, but maybe for this

Why does spirituality exist?

Not only annoying, but also technically wrong.

That's just decades cultural upbringing expectations clashing with a new experience. What did you expect? Your psychological immune system is activated now, so just relax your ass, okay? You didn't do anything wrong. In fact, you gave the girl money so you helped her survive.

Return to the marketplace.

@Carl-Richard I don't know about that. But I know that descriptive naming is a convention in programming, it is recommended for writing a clean code. It is a best practice because it keeps the code easily readable and editable. Maybe in the future you want to disable the entire functionality, or maybe you will add similar titles, or something else, so the name remains a reference for where you should make the changes. Overall, I don't think there's anything personal about it, even though there might be. I don't know.

@Carl-Richard Again, the title is most likely related to the software, which means it probably has to be different from just Member. If you're disagreeing with the whole decision, then that's another thing.

@Carl-Richard Sarcasm aside, what do you suggest the label should be? Maybe Leo will consider your feedback and make changes.

It might be something related to the forum software that is hard to manage without using the label. Like there is also a Super Mod and a Member Plus. I think it's part of the functionality, not necessarily to demean or praise anyone.

I don't see it that way. For me, it sounds more like until you're mature enough to have a less biased/emotional discussion, then you should stay silent and watch other more mature people and learn from them. Of course, that assumes the other more mature people, which should represent Leo at least. At least that's my interpretation.

@Carl-Richard Why?

The opposite of authentic is not inauthentic, it's forced. Ironically, being evil can be good.

Just imagine: Member Asexual. LMAO!

I like this member apolitical title.

Interesting.

Lol. Ok.

I remember back in 2016-17 when the city was restored by Al-Assad forces and I went back home to check if it's still there lol. I was in the alley and I saw the soldiers breaking into houses and stealing everything of value that's in there. So, I got into the family's house and waited, and I was alone along with very few people in other nearby houses. When the turn came to our house, they started trying to break the main door, so I got up and told them to stop. They became vigilant, thinking that I was of the opposition or something. With an AK-47 to my head, they started questioning me. I was surprisingly very calm at the time, thanks to my Islamic beliefs and mantras, I felt safe despite of everything, I was ready to die. But there was an aura of innocence radiating from me that even those monsters could feel. Anyway, a few minutes later, they took my wallet and left the house alone and went away to complete with the rest of the houses. Funny thing is that I was carrying two phones and they didn't find any of them, one of them carried potentially sensitive videos that could be interpreted against me. I was lucky, I guess. But I basically protected 7 apartments from theft with a wallet that contained less than $10 at the time lol.

Even though biased and propagandized, it has some truth to it. Basically, the story is true, but the way it is framed is not. They portray the victims as innocent peaceful protesters, but that's very unlikely the case. At the very least, they could be part of the armed opposition's intelligence. But the report doesn't allow such a possibility, because Al-Assad is a war criminal and you should hate him because I told you so.
