I hadn’t heard of most of those examples besides burnt/burned, but I do know of learned/learnt, which hasn’t been mentioned.

Moist filament leads to bubbly prints :)

I use empty cardboard boxes and shoe boxes to store my coin collection, and one to use to dry out my spools of filament.

You think pictures of children is porn? If that’s the case, you maybe the one with the problem. There is nothing sexual in the image you linked.

No single source. I like how Verity collates the facts and the spins from multiple sources across the web.

No, you would physiologically age at the same fast-forwarded time rate. Essentially, for you, less time would pass at the same time that more time passes for the outside world.

The light takes the same amount of time to get there from an external point of view. It’s more like time slows down for you the faster you go, which from an external perspective would look like you moving and acting slower than normal. So in the time it would take light to travel 1 light year, it always takes one year. However, you would be slowed down so much that it would appear to you that much less time had passed, maybe only a few days. If you travel at the speed of light you slow down so much that no time passes for you at all at that speed. So you instantly arrive, from your point of view. However, from the point of view of an external observer, it still took one year.

Essentially, it slows down the amount of time you experience, but the amount of time that actually passes externally doesn’t change. If you go to the moon, it will take only 1 second at light speed, so you wouldn’t really notice whether it felt instant or to take a second. However, if you go somewhere further like Proxima Centauri, which is 4 light years away, you will arrive back on Earth at least 8 years later (there and back). If you go at light speed, it would appear to be instant, suddenly you’re at Proxima Centauri 4 years later, suddenly you’re back at Earth 8 years later. If you go just below light speed, you’ll see the world outside go past like it’s being fast forwarded, and when you return, 8 years will have been compressed into something that seems much shorter to you.

“Aside from the viable political ideologies, what are some viable political ideologies?”

Making this a TLC to promote visibility, though I wasn’t the one to discover it:

⚝ U+269d “Outlined White Star”

I think it works great, in reference to the rainbow star thing!

BMI doesn’t factor in muscle mass, so that’s one thing to keep in mind.

It depends on how you define angel.

Lol, the US is bad. So are many other western countries. That doesn’t make Russia good, or even less bad.

That must depend on location, here in the UK it’s only ever pronounced a-rub (u is the the oo in foot)

Did you edit your comment to say you were a Christian or did I just miss that? If so, I apologise, your conception of God is quite likely similar to most Christians! I do fail to see how the argument for a transcendent being predicates the Christian God specifically, though, no offense intended.

If so, your definition of ‘God’ is so far removed from what most people take God to mean as to just invite linguistic debates over debates over the thing itself.

Not before they add polls.

As a trans person, I have various mental illnesses. None of them is ‘being trans’, but it’s likely some of them are related, particularly gender dysphoria. In regards to your actual question, I’m so glad you’re evaluating your beliefs! Everyone should deconstruct and know why they believe the things that they do - and if there’s no good reason, to stop believing them - regularly. It’s the sign of a curious and humble mind.

Hasn’t failed yet (yes I know that’s the survivorship bias fallacy)

We already have it, they’re called nuclear bombs, and MAD.

It’s easy enough to become one, as it is any cult member, if you want to. Just approach a member of the cult, ask to join, and give them your life savings. But why would you want to?
