Ah yes. Current governments expect us to:
- Save for our retirement
- Help our parents in their retirement
- Have kids
- Spend a lot to stimulate (local) economy
- Purchase our own house
- Bail out failed banks and tech companies

Bonus points for doing your own healthcare insurance negotiations.

All Saints in Raleigh is the church that Jared (Heliocentric) did an Atheist Church Audit on last year. He had a great experience there. He kept calling it "exceptional" in his review of the service from an atheist's perspective.

Relatedly, I'd be happy to apply for this job. I certainly have the skillset the job requires. But I'm not a Catholic, nor am I ever going to be. Your loss, Diocese of Richmond!

Sometimes I think about how for much of history everyone was medicated on booze, nicotine, cocaine, hasish, opiates, amphetamines, etc., and now we're all expected to just be out here raw-dogging life
