Elvis Presley in Religion ·
coppersailor28 said:Look, forums aren't even really meant for certain things. It’s just a matter of how you look at it. The forums aren't working. The blog is live. Moving forward, expect brevity. No fluff, just the facts. I'll be posting here regularly. Stick around if you can handle the truth. Otherwise, don't. Or. Column. The format..

Forum time. The author can't even pretend he's writing wisdom anymore. Not when he's actually just spouting absolute nonsense.

Using forums to bicker about anything—especially politics or religion—is pure madness in my view. I used to participate in forums years ago, but I eventually realized that instead of posting where maybe ten people will see it, it is much better to put in the effort to write an article that can reach hundreds or thousands of readers. It is even better if you can turn that into a business. The same logic applies to videos and podcasts online. You just need the knowledge and the talent for it. On a forum, literally anyone can write whatever they want.

I disagree with that second part. Most forum debates lead absolutely nowhere. Both sides just end up digging their heels in. I have been involved in a million political debates and learned that it is best to avoid them. It is a waste of time. There are comment sections on blogs, columns, and podcasts too, but most of those commenters are simply fools who don't even bother to read or watch the content. Total fools. 😵

I am not against forums, but I prefer the "fun and leisure" concept that steers clear of heavy topics.

Religion and politics aren't topics for debate. They are matters of personal culture and worldview. I hold my views, you hold yours, and arguing over who is more "right" is simply a waste of energy.

Admittedly, as a columnist, I focus on analyzing global social issues within established media outlets rather than on obscure forums that nobody reads. I respect what forums offer, but I believe they serve a different purpose.

I only stopped by here to drop a quick note for Elvis, and that’s all. Elvis, if you're reading this, try to dial back the arrogance; as for everything else, I'll stay out of it. I'd much rather see a head-to-head debate with Korado.

In the latest Podcast Elvis, Elvis mentioned to Ratko that there are supposedly PhDs in physics right here in the States who don't believe in a globe and instead claim the earth is flat!

I find that hard to swallow. The flat earth concept essentially dismantles physics because it denies gravity, which is one of our most fundamental forces. If anyone is actually making such claims, I'd be quite interested to know who they are. 😁

I disagree with the idea that the Quran and the Bible incite violence. Both are spiritually pure texts centered on peace and love. Having read both multiple times, I believe Judaism follows a similar path. The issue lies with extremist sects like ISIS or the Watchtower Society, which have only gained relevance by distorting the very faiths they claim to represent.

Regarding the flat earth concept, I am open to an evidence-based debate between experts in the field, such as Korado Korlević and Elvis Presley. Naturally, everyone will likely stick to their own convictions by the end of the discussion, but it would be fascinating to watch. 😁 Podcast Incubator is a fantastic production.

I don't engage in debates, so please refrain from quoting me.

Elvis selectively interprets the Bible to suit his own narrative. This is exactly what millions of other people do when they misinterpret the Bible, Quran, or Talmud, often leading to global conflicts. 😵 What he’s doing is nothing new; it’s a pattern we've seen countless times. He has every right to his perspective, whether people choose to accept it or not. In my view, the concept of a flat earth isn't inherently hate speech.

Regarding COVID, he obviously won't take responsibility. If anyone should be held accountable, it would be the politicians in Congress who built their entire platforms on opposing vaccines and other virus protections. 😵 A figure like Nina Raspudić has a media reach that far outweighs Elvis's.

Angela Alvarez10 said:🤣🤣Yeah, definitely the best podcast. They're great.🤣

but everything else🤦😵

To be fair, Elvis Presley tends to wander quite broadly. There are certain things where I find myself agreeing with him—specifically his views on alcohol, eating pork, prostitution, pornography, marriage, profanity, drugs, and family.

However, those are matters of worldview; you can either agree or disagree. On the other hand, the flat earth theory is simply absurd. Furthermore, the approach toward COVID-19 was criminal. Some of his advice to people may have actually cost them their lives, which is something he should never have done.

I am looking forward to the next episodes of the Podcast Incubator. Give my best to Ralet, Simke, Los, and the rest of the crew if they happen to see this. They should just keep up the fantastic work. 👍👍

Angela Alvarez10 said:I met Elvis Presley through someone. Honestly, he’s hilarious, but he’s a genuinely good guy with zero malice in his heart. He just gets hung up on some pretty ridiculous stuff—this whole flat Earth thing is a massive stretch. It’s funny, sure, but also a little unsettling when someone is actually that convinced the Earth is flat. Like, fine, listen to him for the laughs or to study his logic, but being dead serious about it? 😲

As for religion, I'm staying out of it. I’m no Bible expert, so I don't have much to contribute to a debate there.

Also, his pride and tendency to insult others is completely at odds with Christianity and other faiths. He uses this tactic constantly. The moment someone disagrees with him, he attacks them and throws a tantrum like a child. He does this quite deliberately while acting like a Christian missionary on TV. It's hard to understand how someone can be that misguided. 😵

Aside from that, he is entertaining. His guest appearances alongside Domagoj Pintarić and MPO are some of the best content coming out of the Podcast Incubator. They are a modern nightmare. Those are honestly the only podcasts I would actually pay to watch. 😁👍 Pure entertainment from start to finish. He is right about some things and wrong about others, but he is certainly better than 90% of American comedians. 😁

If it weren't for the Flat Earth talk, he could easily establish himself as a prominent conservative activist in the public eye; instead, he has limited his own reach.

You don't need any Elviss—you can handle all of that yourself.🙂

He believes in those points quite sincerely, and he won't just abandon them overnight, though I doubt he's being intentionally deceptive. Perhaps in twenty years he'll move on because they served as his initial way to step into the spotlight.

Regarding the whole flat earth theory, I wouldn't be surprised if Elvis Presley eventually tells the public, "I was just kidding around," claiming the whole thing was nothing more than a joke. 😁 I find it hard to believe he actually believes his own rhetoric, but that's how it goes. I can't speak to the specifics since I don't have any insider information. ☕
Elvis Presley in Religion ·
I believe Elvis Presley truly believes his theories regarding the Flat Earth and will continue to advocate for them for the rest of his days.

As a speaker and a comedian, he’s perfect. I love watching his performances on the Podcast Incubator. 👍

Regarding faith, he isn't a member of the Roman Catholic Church or any other denomination, and what he stands for is only about 50% in alignment with the Roman Catholic Church. Some of his views and perspectives actually align quite closely with American evangelical churches. It is wonderful that faith has revitalized him, but he hasn't fully converted to traditional Christianity. The Church should make it clear that he is not a member, even though he never claims to be speaking on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church.

Can I pick up Prilosec over the counter at a pharmacy?
Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice? in Health ·
driftingcanyon2 said:In your situation, it isn't strictly necessary if you aren't experiencing bleeding. Personally, Nexium has saved me multiple times (you should opt for the larger bottle, as the smaller one isn't quite effective enough for severe cases). I used to deal with heavy bleeding—worse than a woman's period 😁—along with pain so intense I couldn't even sleep. With Nexium, I stayed symptom-free for several months. That said, if you want to feel better, you really need to cut out or significantly minimize anything risky, like heavy red wine.

Thanks, truly. I don't have any bleeding, just occasional itching, though it isn't anything serious at the moment. I still apply cream after using the restroom with Hemo-Care, and it works wonders. My diet consists of dates, bananas, and light meals. I don't drink alcohol, use nicotine or drugs, and I avoid spicy food, but things happen regardless. It was likely due to straining or perhaps poor hygiene while using a restroom at a shopping mall or somewhere similar. I exclusively use wet wipes now and have stopped using standard toilet paper. https://www.walmart.com/ip/hemo-care-60-1

quietfox383 said:So, did that external hemorrhoid move back inside? I'm not entirely sure what happened over time with the combination of tablets and creams.
How did you get the cream? Was it prescription after an exam, or did you just pick it up yourself at a pharmacy?

Yes. That external hemorrhoid, which felt like a small pea or a pimple, has disappeared as far as I can tell because I can no longer locate it.
Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice? in Health ·
I first noticed an external hemorrhoid about two weeks ago. I'm honestly not sure what triggered it. Since then, I've been using Preparation H, taking chamomile baths, and adjusting my diet. Things have improved significantly, and I’m mostly symptom-free now, though I still deal with occasional itching. Do you think it's worth adding those BlackRock tablets to my routine, or is it unnecessary at this stage?
Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice? in Health ·
I’m wondering if it’s actually a good idea to go swimming in the ocean when dealing with external hemorrhoids. I've read somewhere that swimming can be beneficial, but I am concerned about whether the salt water might cause irritation.
Disney's Mulan (2020) in Movies ·
Just caught this at the local AMC. It’s a decent way to relax and enjoy the big screen experience, but honestly, the movie itself isn't anything groundbreaking. It’s pretty predictable—you can see exactly where it’s headed from a mile away. I’m not even sure I’d have the patience to sit through the whole thing at home. 👍

The acting was top-notch, but don't expect this one to stick in your memory. It’s perfectly fine if you just want to zone out and chill. Naturally, kids will probably get a lot more out of it than adults will. 😁

What does "region" actually mean? in Close to Politics ·
Americans and Mexicans share certain similarities alongside their differences, but when it comes to the institutions of America, we really ought to be looking toward Canada, Austria, Poland, the Baltic states, Russia, and China rather than our neighbors to the east...

It is quite interesting how much Pusić's obsessed with the state...
