  • I live in Poland and in big cities that’s not an issue but in cities other than Warsaw and Kraków you still need to check when the bus will depart. For rural areas reliability is an issue. If for some reason the bus won’t come than the next one is in two hours.

    Trains are good enough but often delayed. Mostly 5 to 15 min but there is always the odd one out with 24h that is always talked about at parties.

    Trams, trolleybuses, metro and cycling paths are good enough. There are bicycle rental networks that work in a pinch.










  • I think short event or campaign with push for donations with a pop up that you actually can dismiss. An ad like banner. The biggest problem would be community organization as Lemmy isn’t only decentralized horizontally but also vertically. Different front ends, different apps different instances. Most of them wouldn’t want to implement an ad that wouldn’t benefit them directly. They also have costs with running their piece of lemmy. So some cut for them should be included.

    I think a dedicated trustworthy person should be responsible for organizing this campaign as developer time is best spent elsewhere.





  • I don’t think strangers on the internet will provide you with answers. You will need to put in the work yourself to get an answer.

    Questions for you: Are you your environment? Are you your hands? Are you your thoughts? Are you your emotions? Are you your subconscious? Are you your memories?
    Are you the experience that you experience? Or are you the part that experiences?
    Can you see that part? Does that part changes over time?

    I would recommend reading philosophy books and ponder about this stuff.

    Unicorns are undetectable

    Then you are changing the nature of unicorns. Usually in books they are made of physical stuff and interact with physical stuff. But if they can’t do that then they would be made of the same stuff that souls and angels are made. And then you are changing question from “Does this weird animal exist?” to “Does higher mode of existence that we can’t detect exist”

    Every god has the same claims

    I think you are confusing gods with religions. There are 20 major religions. There are of course monotheistic and polytheistic religions. We could split my claim to two basic components. One ‘humans have a undetectable soul or spiritual element to them’. And two ‘The Christianity is correct religion’

    The prevalent existence of spirituality in Ethnic Tribes is an argument for spiritual element in humans. I will assume that we are in agreement on that point. If you want You can come up with an argument against this.

    I don’t think that Christianity is definitely correct. I didn’t put the work to have that strong of an opinion on the topic. It definitely helped that I was born in the culture that already had Christianity ingrained in it’s roots. It also gave me personally some benefit to my mental well being. I think that it is neat that in some christian circles it is encouraged to question your own beliefs and trying to get to the truth.

    Pascal’s wager was nice at that time for its simplicity, but when counterarguments come up, it became messy and complicated. It is still worth a mention as a historical milestone in philosophy.
