    I’ve teleported twice in my life. However since I’m a functioning adult these days, allow me to condense the relevant finding of those experiences for you:

    Don’t mix drugs and alcohol.

    The longer I’m an adult the more terrifying it is to realize how many people there are in positions of power over people who are either complete morons or straight up mentally ill.

    Can you be a racist and a Christian at the same time?

    How does that work…

        I just mean that Christianity says that all humans are equal in front of God, right? And then you also have massive racism that doesnt come from the Bible, right?

          Oh boy, have you read the bible? Cause there is a ton of racism in there, both old and New Testament, even if you take the Bible and Christianity at face value, it’s a religion based on “us vs them” mentality, and racist at its core. Remember this religion was founded at a time of external invasion, increased immigration and “globalization” in the ancient world, it had racist dog whistles all over

            No, havent read any of it. Never wanted to… Im not the kind of guy who follows organized religion. But I do think there is a higher meaning to our lives here. Cant prove it, but I dont need to. :) Just a personal feeling.

              I think that’s just human hubris. Why are we here for a reason? Why are we important, we aren’t. It’s just something humans tell themselves to feel not so small. Religion is just humans ways yo comfort themselves over things they don’t understand

                I think we are very important, and I dont feel small. I think the view that we are small and unimportant comes from science. Its all they keep saying when they talk about space. How insignificant humans are.

                You are just having the same opinion, because it comes from there.

                  Well because that “view” is factually real and undeniable and can be checked and proven.

                  The idea that we are important is based on nothing, not a thing.

    I’ve teleported too, a few times in the past - it can be a bit confusing, like blam you’re suddenly somewhere else. Then I’ve recalled the heinous quantities of booze and drugs I’ve consumed that day and kinda shrugged.

    CNN previously reported that Phillips, who serves as associate administrator for the Office of Response and Recovery at FEMA, described in a podcast last year multiple episodes in which he said he was suddenly teleported miles away — including once to a Waffle House roughly 50 miles from where he had been.

    I hope that Waffle House was open, per the Waffle House Index.
