I can't believe this is the first thing I read after getting my hands on an ancient Kindle (I am too poor to have physical books rn and it's easy to get free books on there)

Expect something soon

If you're in need of books, gutenberg.org has a bunch of free public domain eBooks! (Mostly older stuff I reckon, given how long it takes for stuff to become public domain).

I love Gutenberg.org, I have a long list of books I am planning on grabbing from there :')) Thanks Stranger

Agnostic streamer goes to church for the first time in years due to Kirk's death. Thought you may appreciate a hopeful message

Sometimes I feel a lil scared of it heaven because Im afraid that even with infinate time and opportunity, I would find a way to squander it and sleep through it. Infinate possibility, infinity ways to dissapoint myself

I think that won't be a concern anymore when death is done away with. The only reason we can "waste time" is because it's limited, and its very passing as a consequence on us. When death is done away with, that whole dynamic will be no more. For now, we gotta continue to run the race 'til we reach the finish.

Do you mind if I send a video about the peace of God? It's an interview and I thought it could help

I could never do "enough" to be "worthy" of the grace that God has shown me. While I strive to live virtuously out of gratitude for that grace, I can also take peace in the fact that Christ makes up for where I might lack as The Holy Spirit refines me to be more like Him. You are already accepted by God. The question is, can you accept yourself?

Thank you all. I was having a moment last night. I'll check out that video and see if I can't do one of these things that has waited literal years for me to accomplish.

Also, been noting this everwhere else I've sent it, but I am. recognizing. the style that which makes me happy. not exactly easy to read. Which is fine! I'm working on adding a more accessible version though, possibly just a text file but then would people read that..? Idk.

Interesting insights...Some general comments: Governments and businesses are simply groups of people. What is the spirit that drives them, both individually and collectively? Laws matter little when motives are corrupted by selfishness.

Objectifying another stems from a lack of empathy, an indifference to one's impact upon them. It is rationalized through pride, seeing oneself as "greater" than another. It thrives off of comparison and competition, rather than dignity and voluntary cooperation.

Consent can only be given when communication is open and honest, when decisions are well-informed and made without force or manipulation. Likewise, people can only come to mutual agreements when there is genuine trust that everyone is going to do what they have agreed upon together.

@Sage, I see, and I agree. That's going to play a part in how I think this *could* be fixed but of course.... I don't have much faith in it being fixed. My focus was just to give significant doubt to Denmark's copyright law as being a band-aid for this issue.

Also, yeah, governments are just groups of people but we know the government is full of pedophiles. Like just straight up, I really believe the government is full of pedophiles and they would -love- to have copyright over our daughters. Maybe I'm strawmanning the problem a bit (with a slippery slope to boot) but just based on horrifying things that have been revealed to us... I just don't believe elsewise.

And for businesses, I mean like the Big businesses, Google, Meta or whatever the heck; things that make money off of People instead of directly recieving money from people.
