[03:04:24] ski/rizon Laudanum Domine ?

[03:04:50] ski/rizon ("Laudanum" was alcohol mixed with weed or something, i think ?)

[03:05:25] ski/rizon ah, opium, not weed

[03:06:00] ski/rizon <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laudanum> "Laudanum is a tincture of opium containing approximately 10% powdered opium by weight (the equivalent of 1% morphine). Laudanum is prepared by dissolving extracts from the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) in alcohol (ethanol)."

[03:10:18] ski/rizon prayer can be thought of as focused intent, attention. you want to try to improve in some particular ways. you pray (you could think of it as "speaking to your subconscious"), reminding yourself of your intent or goal. if you pray for someone else, that can be seen as reminding yourself that you care for them, and possibly in some cases giving your subconscious an impetus to notice a possib

[03:10:24] ski/rizon to some issue they're having, later

[03:10:46] ski/rizon prayer can be seen as emotionally oriented meditation, while meditation/contemplation, unqualified, is more mentally oriented

[03:12:49] ski/rizon praying to a higher power can be seen as reminding yourself that you're not the main goal of everything (right proportions/perspective), that there are things outside of you that are useful to aim at. like peace in family, local community, &c.

[03:14:32] ski/rizon (of course, if you're only praying about getting stuff, selfishly, that probably doesn't make much sense. if you're praying to be of use in your community, that could help as direction for your subconscious to be more aware of what's happening, noticing things, possibly coming up with solutions for how to do things more smoothly, for the better of both yourself and your community)

[03:15:54] ski/rizon ComputerTech : .. it's just that, most religious people, don't really tend to explicate it in these terms (perhaps many would find it unnatural to talk about things from this kind of standpoint). but still, one can suspect that this is part of the reason why, evolutionary speaking, religion has arisen, and continues to be a powerful force

[03:16:36] ski/rizon (but obviously there's also a lot of corruption, ideas/memes, and people, trying to hijack this machinery, this innate impulse towards religion, for their own ends)

[03:18:35] ski/rizon protestants often tend to be more about the literal interpretation

[03:18:47] ski/rizon while catholics have tradition, the church fathers, &c.

[03:18:54] ski/rizon (and orthodox, as well)

[03:19:48] ski/rizon unfortunately, a lot of atheists can also be as literal-minded, as protestants

[03:20:25] ski/rizon (there's "strong agnosticism", "we can't know". and "weak agnosticism", "we don't know, at least at the current time (perhaps never)")

[03:21:35] ski/rizon irish666 : "are you saved ?" .. "do you even know what 'saved' means ?"

[03:24:38] ski/rizon PCOS :/

[03:25:33] ski/rizon yea :(

[03:28:00] ski/rizon .u parson

[03:29:11] ski/rizon above 70

[03:30:37] ski/rizon he's irish

[03:34:21] ski/rizon ComputerTech : how about whilst biking ?

[03:35:31] ski/rizon "BAC" ?

[03:36:21] ski/rizon ComputerTech : limit is higher in NI ?

[03:36:52] ski/rizon are NIers more drunk, in general ?

[03:37:00] ski/rizon or can they tolerate alcohol more ?

[03:37:08] ski/rizon mhm

[03:37:52] ski/rizon sehr teuer

[03:39:39] ski/rizon on UK mainland, too ?

[03:41:02] ski/rizon hm, there's those sonic weapons that some police have now, too

[03:42:52] ski/rizon (now i'm wondering what the "-yer" in "lawyer" stands for / comes from)

[03:43:29] ski/rizon died ?

[03:43:54] ski/rizon (i guess there's "barrister" and "solicitor" as well)

[03:44:42] ski/rizon oh

[03:45:48] ski/rizon and it was not supposed to be demolished, just the demolishing didn't go as planned ?

[03:46:37] ski/rizon yea, i heard that they taking out shop classes in education, in many places, has caused people who service mechanical things to age with not much replacement

[03:46:49] ski/rizon except apparently in the netherlands, and italy, and some other places

[03:47:29] ski/rizon (people who are not that good at math or writing, but who're good with their hands, thinking concretely spatially, can invent things)

[03:48:00] ski/rizon (Temple Grandin)

[03:48:14] ski/rizon ComputerTech : hm, i see

[03:48:15] ski/rizon :(

[03:49:08] ski/rizon luvly jubly

[03:49:59] ski/rizon (learned it from "Lemmings", old computer game)

[03:54:34] ski/rizon jacket, i hope

[03:56:07] ski/rizon be cause

[03:56:52] ski/rizon ComputerTech : as opposed to protestants and catholics ?

[03:57:30] ski/rizon hm, "Cause Harm" is a D&D spell, iirc

[03:57:57] ski/rizon fomorian ?

[03:58:14] ski/rizon oh
