58Mind Body Dualism
by Coded Logic ini've never found dualism - the idea that the mind and the brain are two different substances with the mind being "immaterial" or "non-material" - a valid manner in which to address consciousness or any mysteries relating to it.
to show the reasons why i think it's bad metaphysics i'll use analogous reasoning to make a case for my newly made up "mystic essence".. for hundreds of years scientists have studied plants and animals all across the world.
but they still can't explain where ecosystems come from.

Materialism claims that nothing exist except matter.
The idea that "nothing exists except matter" does not itself consist of matter.
Therefore materialism is self-refuting.Bertrand Russell and his paradox would be proud

Satanic Temple’s Seven Tenets - Makes 10 Commandments Sound Facile
by cofty inthe so-called 10 commandments are a post-biblical construct.... there is an elohist list at exodus 20 and a yahwist one at exodus 34 that contains such gems as "you shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk.".
any intelligent adult could create a more useful list of ethical precepts before the end of a coffee break.. it is interesting to compare the satanic temple's seven tenets.
i think you might agree that it makes yahweh's rules look like they were written by a bronze age power-hungry, misogynistic priest.

I switched to Win10 over Christmas and haven't had any issues. In fact, I rather like the new GUI; seems they kept the best elements of Win7 and 8.1. Microsoft's browser, Edge, still blows though
Since i use Gmail, Outlook and Office365 web mail, local email client issues are no thing. As mentioned, a local email client is almost unnecessary nowadays and more a risk for viruses than anything it would seem
I installed full version onto a new SSD so upgrade issues weren't a problem; I've got everything backed up to externals anyways. I usually take the thing apart for cleaning and reformat system drive once a year anyways. Just cos ima nerd, yo

The moderates need to be encouraged to keep speaking out.
Agreed. The best path to change is from the inside IMO.

VLC is the best media player app and will play just about everything. You can use it for streaming and can even multicast from it if you wish as it's got full network config options. Used to play a DVD and stream it to various PC and even over the web (with some amount of monkeying around) Not sure about the TV guide service though. But its open source and free
