Oh yeah, gotta keep it dolphin-with-a-brazilian smooth. The trick is to skip the shaving, waxing and Nair style stuff. Just use a Zippo and burn the hairs off. Baby smooth in no time.

It's less "everyone gets in" and more that finite crimes do not deserve infinite punishment. Universalists tend to believe that we will, with few if any exceptions, all be reunified with God. Immortal souls being punished endlessly is less than a loving concept, when any sins/crimes they committed were by nature not infinite or endless themselves. Advaita vedanta has a similar concept, as well as other branches of Hinduism such as kashmiri shaivism. Lots of religions have a concept of universal salvation or reconciliation.

Hello fellow universalist!

That's assuming that for right now. What if it went on for another billion years or so. What of all the humans descendants?

So I'm what one might call a basic user. Mainly browser based tasks. I can use the terminal, but I don't have really much of anything memorized. Imagine giving a desktop running Fedora to your great aunt, not that one, the other one, who's constantly smoking and sexually harasses the busboys when they come to clean away the ashtrays. That one. That's my level of Linux proficiency.

Are any of these things I might be able to do? I would genuinely love to help, but I use FOSS for philosophical reasons, not because I understand the techy stuff. If it's doable at my level (or an achievable level), I'm eager.

Okay, after reading the comments I have determined that this is a magic pocket dimension, not a sci-fi pocket dimension. That's important. Sci-fi pocket dimension gas too many restrictions, but OP has been kind enough to gift us a magic pocket dimension. If I pop in on a flight, I don't fall to my death when I leave.

So, I set it up as a space for living in tight quarters. Like an RV, I guess. I make sure it has some exercise equipment, and I give it to my mom to use. She's disabled, and can't move a lot under normal conditions, and for reasons I won't go into, also can't do aqua therapy anymore. Low g exercise could help her, and we could slowly increase the gravity. Eventually, she could be healthy enough for surgeries that could get her to a better standard of life.

Book cheap flights, cruises, et cetera. Teleport into the room, and back out at the end. Travel the world. If possible, teleport my mom in whenever somewhere is not wheelchair accessible, and then back out once we've passed that point.

Make money to support the travel lifestyle by being a magician, or smuggler. Whenever possible use the pocket dimension to help people escape bad situations. Teleport in someone while in my car, drive to safety, teleport out. They're coming out relative to the vehicle, not the vehicle's position. Excellent for helping refugees, domestic violence victims, et cetera.

Joke's on you. I've been slowly building up an immunity to iocaine powder for years.

Y'know the Latin name of that creature is Fuckaroundicus Findoutinus.

There's an excellent video by technology connections in which he mentions this. Turns out, sort of not true. That said, in the modern day, that 100% is gonna be the case, IMHO. Porn flows like wine anymore, and people aren't going to want to adopt some weird pornless tech.

My parents (and grandparents) sold antiques, traveled and did the flea market circuit. That brown bowl with the mushrooms, was it this one?

We sold a ton of those.

If 50s makes you a failure at 53 years old, then I'd be terribly embarrassed if you found out my number in my 30s. Or even in my mid 20s. >,< Which is to say don't feel like a failure. Your body count doesn't make you.

But that said, as a gay man, men in their 40s and 50s are incredible in bed as well. They know exactly what works that little Twinky boys in their 20s haven't even begun to explore yet.

I'm not a power user or anything, and don't understand most of the things in computing. I'm a basic user with mostly basic needs. But the only thing that ever gets me back on windows is when my college requires a program specific to a class. Linux is just freaking better, even at the very basic, mostly doing browser based shit level.

It's 4 in the morning and I'm sick, got them albuterol inhaler shakes, and "soggy bones" made me laugh so hard I went into a coughing fit.

Lmao. Thank you.

... Please do not throw away Nana's crockery. Some of that shit is valuable.

Also, use a wet wipe and turn the net curtains into tights you can wear while he rails he. Nana's generation was frugal, she will approve.

Excuse me, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord, Big Ass Bug?

I desperately need this shirt

I've had a stressful couple of weeks, and got a B on a paper.

I drove 1.5 hours away today to go to a local fastfood chain to get my favorite burger today. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

A prostrate exam is a good thing… as long as the doctor puts both hands on your shoulders in the middle of it.

Ftfy

Words to live by, OP, "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds"

Fascism, a far right wing ideology, is often described as "capitalism in decline," and is what happens when capitalism desperately clings to any hope of maintaining itself, normally by calling itself back to some mythologized, fictional version of a perceived golden age.

Its also worth noting that we use the terms left and right to described to describe relative position within the overton window (the narrow stretch of "acceptable" politics within a given society) of our current politics, as in, biden is left Bush is right, et cetera, but in a larger view of the political spectrum both the democrats and republicans are right wing parties. There isn't an objective defintion of who is left/right, but for a lot of people, the dividing line is capitalism itself. If you support capitalism, you're right wing, if you're a socialist, communist, or anarchist, you're a left winger. If, by some miracle, capitalism were to die out tomorrow and every country was some flavor of socialist the dividing line would change to some new metric, and x would be left while y would right. It's a short hand expression not a hard and fast rule.
