I simply need wide support. I made some websites for a client who receives many 1. older customers and 2. customers from all over the world. I was conscious of the possibility that these customers could have either ancient devices or some highly obscure foreign devices not reflected on caniuse.com.

I guess that most applies to the Prophets, who were warning a sinful nation of impending destruction, but it still seems like an oversimplistic view of the scriptures. Even in the Prophets, God's love and mercy are emphasized many times.
In the NRSV and ESV it says "a root of all kinds of evils".[0] That seems more accurate to me, because there are different roots of evil, including pride and lust. But if I understand what you're saying, it is true that money itself is not evil. In the early church, it was the glory of the rich to share their possessions with the poor. Rather, to my current understanding, it is evil to obsessively desire something beyond what God has given you, and that's not limited to just money. I wouldn't say that I'm a greedy person in terms of money (open to being wrong about that), but I've always felt unsatisfied wherever I was in life, and that led to all kinds of bad fruit. Anyway, thanks for the comment. :pray:
If possible, I would highly recommend going part-time. I wasn't close to burn-out, but my mental health and stress levels are much better since I made the switch. Worth it for that alone, even if it wasn't the best move for my career. In any case, I'd also recommend cutting down on unnecessary screentime and spending more time in real life - walking outside, talking to people, doing hobbies, and so on!
I had a very similar experience with insomnia. My whole life I couldn't fall asleep on time. At one point, having tried everything, I just stopped caring. If I didn't sleep much one night, then whatever, I've survived many sleep deprived days. So I totally stopped thinking about sleep. Then I just started getting sleepy around 10pm every night and falling asleep soon after. I think that insomnia is perhaps the most mental of all ailments. I also started reading by candlelight at night and that helped too.
This was realized by me after reading the sleep solution by Chris Winters, who also has a podcast that has the same theme.
Everyone has insomnia sometimes, it's abnormal to be able to sleep easily. Candlelight is bad for the air around you and for your eyes the flickering damages your eyes, although the higher CO2 might help with oxygen diffusion.
Didn't know that about flickering, interesting. Maintaining the candle properly by e.g. trimming the wick does help with a clean burn. Beeswax has almost no flicker and gives off light that's the most similar to sunlight, but it's quite expensive.
Refer to the refresh rate on your screen and make it even slower. There is a such thing as candle meditation, so the flickering not always regarded as bad. It'll definitely tire your eyes due to them fatiguing, Ikea makes LED candles if you're interested and anudril firmware flashlights have candle mode too.

Ha, i wish i could read in bed without falling asleep. One or two books did something to my brain where i could read them in bed, all the rest i have to fight sleep and re-read paragraphs after 20 mins max.
I had a similar thought. It seems like an attack on morality, implying that there is no true morality or God-given conscience, only fear of consequences.

Hard to judge from the wiki page, there are so little details, but this sounds fake and staged. I think there were less stunts back then so people were more trusting. At any rate, I get strong vibes of some kind of agenda here, and you're right that it's probably not a godly one.
The bounds of morality are a social construct. So, if you stage something that is purposefully meant to create an environment that seems to be outside of society, you will get behaviour that is not bound by regular social norms and morality. It is possible that saying this was the artist's goal, but who knows.
But yes, there is no true morality. How can there be? In nature, there is only survival. A lion is happy to find some prey thas has had a stroke of bad luck and gotten stuck or hurt so it can't easily fight back.
And the previous paragraph is not meant to say that the lion is evil. No, the lion simply is.
Nature is not a model of morality though. It's a pretty linear system that offers very few choices that don't lead to death. We constructed a society where there are many more choices other than death, and in doing so defined a moral system.
That's just nature. Unless you'd argue that bonobos have "defined a moral system" because they have "constructed a society" that is built on mutual cooperation, all humans have done is find increasingly abstract ways to cause harm to one another in order to work around the natural tendency towards cooperation.
What makes human morality special is not how we support each other but how we hurt each other. And this is a fairly recent achievement even in our own species' historical timescale.
Is there a point to your statement? The existence or non-existence of free will has no discernable effect on reality (see the "philosophical zombies" thought experiment).
Of course it was staged: it was performance art! It's not like she found herself wandering through the gallery and suddenly decided to subject herself to the whim of strangers. The event was planned ahead of time.
Or do you mean the reactions of the audience sound fake/staged? In either case, what gives you that idea?
Recently I got some anti mosquito candles. They didn't really work for the intended purpose, but they had the unexpected effect of making me sleepy in the evening. So I stopped using electronics and artificial lighting at night and use candles instead, and my sleep has greatly improved. Nothing else ever worked for my mild insomnia.
Thanks, good to know. I had two citronella candles next to me but I guess it wasn't enough for the mosquitoes. I haven't had a problem with soot, maybe it depends on the kind of candle, and I only blow them out outside.
