If reality is fake (generated by our brains), I would expect the "reality" we observe to be inconsistent
First you would need to prove that consistency means that something is not fake or that something is less likely to be fake. Dreams being "inconsistent and fake" does not mean that inconsistent means fake. In the same way, apple being green and red does not mean that green means red. What is exactly inconsistent about dreams? If it is because they change, then reality is inconsistent too since reality changes as reality was not observed before our life but now it is observed.
Further, fake does not equal to inconsistent. Something can be fake and consistent with itself. Our brains are capable of knowing both consistency and inconsistency. To say otherwise would mean to say our brains cannot know consistency and therefore cannot know if reality is consistent. It might as well be the case that reality is fake but designed by a higher being to seem consistent to our senses. Our senses which we use to confirm consistency are themselves inconsistent since they cannot confirm themselves. Therefore, we cannot confirm that reality is consistent since our senses are not consistent in sensing and cannot sense themselves.
Reality is only consistent if we wrongly assume that our senses are consistent, and even then it is only consistent during our life, not before. Therefore, it is not consistent before our life, since we did not observe it before our life began. We cannot know if reality is consistent or if it exists at all or if consistency equals to "not fake".
If something is real because it is consistent, then God is real because he is consistent. Spirits are real because they are consistent. Other realities are real simply because they are consistent.
If something is fake because it is inconsistent, then our senses are fake because they are inconsistent. They are inconsistent because they cannot sense themselves and cannot sense everything that exists. Therefore, our reality is fake too since reality is only learned about throught fake senses.
Further, even if reality was consistent, it could be just our brain or higher being producing something consistent. To say that it is unlikely is nothing but an assumption, since our brains are capable of producing and knowing both consistency and inconsistency. Higher beings would also be capable of that. Therefore, there is no reason to believe that consistent means not fake.

universe seems to have consistent laws
You did not prove that those consistent laws exist. We cant just assume that something we see is real because we see it, since that is circular reasoning. In the same way, our senses cannot be used to confirm our senses. I cannot say "I see that I see", and even if I could, then I would need to see that "I see that I see". It goes to infinity, really.

Quitting job you dislike and getting a job you like more is what makes workers happy. So yeah, if there are no job options, that doesnt mean worker is happy with his job. It just means he has no choice.
Created:
The churn is the indicator that the job was unsuitable
Yeah, I dont have a clue what you are talking about.
Suitable job for a worker = preferred job for a worker
Now explain to us how did they meassure that workers likely dont like their job, and how did they meassure that workers in blue states liked theirs.
Created:
likely take jobs that are unsuitable
And how did they determine which job is unsuitable for a person?
Sometimes due to government regulation or public pressure, you cannot even say that you hate your job because you have to pretend that men are women and if you say otherwise you get fired by every employer in your area.

@Greyparrot
Yes, in the job market they do. Its so much easier to work if you know you can quit at any time and find a new job easily. Its much less stress.
Of course, there is no alternative to giving worker a choice. If workers are not given a choice, they will not work better nor be more happier.

@Greyparrot
If the only job you can get is from a large corporation facilitated with fascist regulatory policies and corporate welfare, there are not many options.
If every job is equally bad, changing jobs doesnt lead to improvement. Also, if there are no other jobs available, you cant change jobs.
Created:
The article specifically says there are not more jobs in red states, just more people changing jobs.
More people changing jobs = more jobs available
Number of jobs =/= number of jobs available
If I quit one job for another, number of jobs stays the same as if I just had one job and didnt quit it.
However, what changes is that I moved to a job more suitable for me.
People changing jobs is something that is good for those people. They move to better jobs, plus the employers have to treat workers better or their workers will leave.
Workers not changing jobs is something to be more worried about.
Created:
So red states = more jobs available
If you dont change jobs, that means you are either happy with a job or you have no alternative.
When you have alternatives, its easier to find jobs suitable for you.

I havent added anything to the games section yet, so here it goes.
There are many types of games, such as clan wars games, shooter games, open world games, battle royale, role playing games, strategy games, card games...
Clan wars games are basically free to play, but they are always pay to win. You wont get anywhere in the game unless you pay money. Building gets slower and slower to the point where you cannot build anymore unless you pay money. They usually have fully automatic combat.
Shooter games are usually not pay to win. They are usually free to play. Shooter games encounter many other problems, however, such as massive amounts of cheaters and certain controllers being much better than the others. For example, keyboard and mouse beats smartphone's touch screen controls. Single-player shooter games often give player a story along with high graphic and variety of weapons.
Open world games are the games that have large map and large playing area. Players can move around freely and go anywhere they want, go to different cities, villages, areas. Open world games are usually more desired than non-open world games.
Battle royale games are often shooter games with an open world where you walk around the map gathering weapons and resources, driving cars, robots or other types of transport and fighting other players. They have massive amounts of cheaters, so they usually have bots added to ensure that players can still have fun shooting bots. The cheaters still win in the end, but after shooting some bots you still get progress in your rank. Battle royale became very popular because it offers players so much freedom in the online gaming.
Role-playing games are usually the types of games that have a story where you are a warrior, a mage, an archer, a vampire or something similar, where you can interact with imaginary characters in the game and complete the quests. While there are plenty of role-playing games, most of them have boring quests that ruin the fun of playing. Of course, role playing games today are adding high graphic along with exciting combat to lure players to play them.
Strategy games are usually battles of the minds, where you have to remember plenty of things to be able to win. Memory and calculation are the most important skills in these games. For example, every strategy game where you build objects has the best build order which player should know to increase the chances of winning.
Card games are games where you play using cards usually being drawn from deck. Now, most of card games are pay to win, since the best cards are usually not free. Card games are very popular for those who like the combination of deck building, luck in drawing and skill with using the cards.
My personal favorite are role-playing games, open world games and battle royale games. I do like the combination of open world, shooter and role playing.

There is no proof that I write or that I exist or that I think. You just assume it to be so.

There is no proof that I asked you to prove anything. That is just an assumption.
If assuming something makes it true, tben everything is true.

North Korean birth rates are 1.9
South Korean are 0.8
That means, in 100 years, South Korea shrinks by more than half.
Plus, North Korea always had faster growing population, its just that South started with much more population than the North.

Are you saying that the consent framework is flawed because people cannot consent to be born, which inevitably results in us placing other people in the position of imposed suffering that they never consented to, therefore making it logically impossible not to use other people's bodies without consent?

Trump is a serial liar
Well, duh, thats how democracy works. No one ever won the election by being honest.
If you want honest leaders, then you are supporting dictatorship since only when leader doesnt struggle for power is when he can be honest.
No one is promising to extend the war. They're promising to aid Ukraine
Sadly, the more aid you send to Ukraine, the longer the war will last. For example, if we didnt send any aid to Ukraine from the start, the war would be over by now.

I dont think the unification is possible unless South Korea gives up its government and accepts whatever government North Korea gives them.

For those of you who need divine translation:
God liked North Korea due to their high morality.
God despised South Korea due to their sexual perversion, porn, adultery, homosexuality and greed for money.
Thats why North Korea gets blessed and gets good leaders who improve the country.
Thats why South Korea gets low birth rates and corrupt leaders.

For those of you who think that North Korea is starving, you are being lied to.
North Korea is the second largest in the world producer of rabbit meat.
Every house in North Korea has rabbits. Rabbits eat grass. People eat rabbits. Simple, really.
Every house in North Korea is self-sufficient in food production.
Over 160,000 tons of rabbit meat produced every year. That is 160,000,000 kilograms.
Add to that chickens, fruits, vegetables, grains, cows, other cattle...ect.
Yeah, anyone who thinks that North Korea is starving needs a brain check.

Yeah, kinda awkward for them.
North Korea did tell the South multiple times that american values destroy everything they touch. The South was greedy for money and didnt listen.
May they enjoy the blessings of capitalism now, when their population will for the first time in history become smaller than North's population. Well, the North did always have faster growing population due to their family values, so this was expected.
What do you get when you betray your own values and culture in favor of brainless wealth accumulation and consumerism?

After it promised to never do so in exchange for billions of dollars worth of food from the US.
Lets see.
1 billion dollars.
1) Impose economic sanctions on North Korea
2) Force North Korea into starvation through sanctions
But you say North Korea is bad because it didnt stick to agreement and built nuclear weapons to protect itself lol
So the only other options North Korea had were:
1) not agree and then starve
2) agree and then get invaded
most Americans don't give one shit about what happens to North Korea
Yeah, tell that to Iraq. After invading 30 countries, one should simply hope he wont get invaded, or one could simply build nukes to protect himself.

On 26 June 1949, Kim Gu was assassinated by Ahn Doo-hee, who confessed that he assassinated Kim Gu by the order of Kim Chang-ryong. The assassin was described by the British historian Max Hastings as one of Rhee's "creatures".[28] It soon became apparent that Rhee was a dictator.[29] He allowed the internal security force (headed by his right-hand man, Kim Chang-ryong) to detain and torture suspected communists and North Korean agents. His government also oversaw several massacres, including the suppression of the Jeju uprising on Jeju island, of which South Korea's Truth Commission reported 14,373 victims, 86% at the hands of the security forces and 13.9% at the hands of communist rebels,[30] and the Mungyeong Massacre.
By early 1950, Rhee had about 30,000 alleged communists in his jails, and had about 300,000 suspected sympathizers enrolled in an official "re-education" movement called the Bodo League. When the Communist army attacked from the North in June, retreating South Korean forces executed the prisoners, along with several tens of thousands of Bodo League members.[2]

The December massacres were a series of politically motivated executions carried out by the South Korean government following the recapture of Pyongyang by communist forces in the Korean War. The killings took place in South Korea, but mainly in and around Seoul. It is believed the South Korean government executed thousands of people, however accurate estimates are difficult to come by. The Rhee regime received criticism from the international community and the executions damaged his image.

Please read the Bible completely. Try not to cherry pick quotes. I understand that you are an atheist trying to make Christianity look bad by committing out of context fallacy over and over again. I dont know why would you do that for such a long time. Maybe you were molested by a priest when you were young, so you are trying to get back at Christianity now. However, this will not make your traumas go away. Try to pray instead.

True. I love Jesus the most. I hate my family, so I have no problem with following that.
I accepted that only God is real, since I see him more clearly than I see anything else.

None, really. It is even better, morally, since no one can cause you pain since you dont exist and neither does your pain.
But is it just as reasonable to accept Bob the spherical camel and reject the Bible as it is to accept the Bible and reject Bob the spherical camel? Please answer this specific question.
Yes, just as it is equally reasonable to accept that you exist. So yes, if you are real, then so is God. If God is not real, then neither are you.
