Yes! I’m talking and making perfect sense, then it slowly dawns on me that what I’m talking about was actually what I was just dreaming and not reality. Even though I know what happened, it leaves me confused as all hell.

I remember when rec.arts.disney split. There was the voting process whether to split as well as a vote to how it would split, if I remember correctly. I hadn’t thought about that in years.

Alt was the free for all. I learned a lot on alt.atheism, including how threads devolve into chaos and when to walk away.

Thanks fubo, I feel super old now.

There’s not a specific name for it in the way you’re thinking. If you’re looking at object A, then object B is next. One could say that object C is “the one after that,” but it’s also just as common to say third. Anything larger than two (for this one and next) gets unwieldy and English just uses the number. It wouldn’t be the next 100th, simply the 100th. Spoken aloud, the “one” is dropped and it’s said as “the hundredth.” Usually, that is. You wouldn’t be incorrect in adding “the” because English likes to make up its own rules.

RAGE. In the middle of a busy road. So they wanted the poor baby dead but were too fucking cowardly to do it themselves. I hate people. Have your pets spayed or neutered, folks.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m ecstatic that you saved him. I just hate irresponsible pet owners and people who are that callous towards the life of an innocent creature.

I understand what you’re saying. Thanks for answering.

I agree with you that if the OP had used the word happiness instead of spiritual there wouldn’t be any confusion.

Perhaps it comes from the difference in whether one believes in a soul or not? I’m not sure. Honest question, not trying to fight or argue, could you clarify for me what you’re taking issue with?

Do you mean “spiritual” as actually feeling a connection with the rest of all life, or understanding that each person is a tiny speck in an incomprehensibly vast universe, or imagining a connection with a personal deity, or imagining a connection with the dominant deity of the area, or feeling a peaceful satisfaction of connecting with yourself?

Religious people are likely to experience a different interpretation of the word spiritual than non-religious people. The use of the word spiritual at all will likely turn off a large part of the audience.

There is no spiritual world, so all spiritual experiences are occurring only in one’s mind. Whether they’re troublesome or not can depend on whether the observer agrees with the delusion or not. If a person’s delusion aligns with the dominant religion of the area, then chances are good that most of the observers will not consider the delusions to be problematic.

Oh gods, my fluffy dumbass does this, too. Not getting attention? He’ll walk over to the Lego and just raise a paw. Not enough? Swipe and knock a minifig flying. If that doesn’t work he just jumps onto the art table and sends pens everywhere.

Even when carrying him around like a baby (are there any gingers who actually enjoy being carried or held like a normal cat?) if he thinks my attention isn’t sufficiently on him he’ll reach one paw up and tap me on the nose for boops. See if I ever teach him anything else.
