The point is that All Hallows Eve is a Christian holiday, and that it isn’t comparable to Halloween in any way, because the “let’s dress up in costumes and eat way too much candy while watching scary movies” holiday and the “let’s go to the cemetery to put candles on Grandpa’s grave and honor our ancestors” holiday play very, very different roles. And guess what? Observing one doesn’t mean you have to completely discard the other.

1. I wouldn’t exactly describe that as “fun” or something that cheers me up.
2. not everyone is Christian

Also fictional spaceships tend to have a whole crew instead of 1-5 people.

A touch screen interface in a car is a TERRIBLE idea. Yeah a passenger could do it but only if there is a passenger in the car in the first place.

Yeah I kinda figured out it’d have been that.

It’s still forcing people to wear something they don’t want.

Yep. They also seem to completely ignore neurodiverse people; I don’t know what I’d have done if my school had uniforms.

Halloween is fun and I’m glad it has arrived here. The commercalisation of it is another subject for another post, but the concept of kids dressing up and asking for candy is great. Besides, with the nights getting longer and the days ending way earlier than they should, an Autumn holiday is very nice.

Creepy houses are exactly where you should go on Halloween. Damn kids only caring about candy and not the spirit of the holiday!

The value rarely is in the jewelry, but rather in the jewels themselves. So, if you had stolen, for example, a gold ring with a big diamond, you’d take out the diamond and either sell it as-is, or chop it into smaller diamonds and sell them, and probably have the gold smelted back into raw material again. From what I know, it apparently is common for gems (especially very valuable ones) to be given as gifts or traded and fitted into new settings, like rings, necklaces, crowns etc. over the course of centuries, not just stay in the same piece forever.

What I think is most likely in this case, is that some rich asshole wanted to have them for their private collection and hired someone to steal them.

Furthermore, privacy has profound mental health implications. People that cannot get privacy develop mental disorders like paranoia, anxiety, self-doubt, and all sorts of other problems.

Exactly. More people need to learn how devastating a Panopticon-esque society would be for mental health, let alone all the other issues.

Fuck no. Privacy should be a human right. This also would have massive opportunities for discrimination, blackmail, and just plain humiliation, making the cons a million times bigger than the pros.

Do you sleep on your back? AFAIK sleep paralysis is more common for back sleepers.

Op said free, also hosting your own server isn’t something everyone has the knowledge, time, and resources to do.

Who is “they”?

So, does that mean that you have no issue with a religious person who does not use their religion to excuse hate or violence?

I wonder if, for a very short second there, he thought “oh shit maybe guns aren’t such a good thing”

Because sugar isn’t unhealthy in the first place, you’ll die without any sugar.
