When Charlie Kirk died my attitude was "I'm glad he's stopped doing what he was doing, but I'm sad that it took him dying for that to happen". My attitude with Trump will likely be similar.

Our photographer is a family friend of mine, and he did the photography for another friend's wedding a year before ours, so we knew he was good.

Assuming both use on board combustion engines, yes. But a train connected to a majority green energy power grid is probably more carbon efficient than most boats.

I'd say it's more accurate to say the abuse of religion/abusive religion uses the abuse of anxiety. Yes, abusive religious organizations exist, and they all use anxiety about some cosmic punishment to excuse and enforce their abuse. I absolutely agree with you on their existence and how terrible they are.

I don't think that's universal and inherent to religion. There are religious groups that are simply good sources of community with either no focus on any cosmic punishment, or that don't agree that any "cosmic punishment" exists.

He choked a man to death when he was on a different ship. Pretty sure crushing nuts isn't beyond his abilities

By Bayer, the same company that invented the first artificial fertilizer and aspirin, as well as the gasses used in both WW1 and the holocaust. They can't decide between making some of the best inventions of their time or some of the worst.

the reason they're kicked out is so that they don't eat from the immortality tree

I said that having eaten from the tree of good and evil put them in a state that humans were not designed to be in, so by kicking them out God is basically saying "it's better for them to die than it is for them to live forever like this"

If you're not looking for a genuine answer from a Christian, skip this.

First thing: the translation of "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil" isn't really that good of a translation. It's closer to "the right to define good and evil. That means that eating the fruit is basically saying "fuck you, God. Imma do my own thing". That's not how God designed humans to live, and is incompatible to living alongside someone as powerful as God, which is why God told them not to eat it.

But why create that tree in the first place? Essentially, choice. When you're in the supermarket and you see 50 different flavors, but everything is from the same brand, do you really have any choice? Same thing with God. Unless you have the option of rejecting God, choosing to him means nothing.

 

When you're looking at someone you really love, your pupils dilate, letting more light into your eyes. That means the world is literally brighter to you.

 

I had this thought after remembering one time that my DT (digital technologies) teacher at high school suggested that some of the class could try join a hacking competition. Nothing ever came of it, but I thought it was interesting at the time.

What's really interesting is seeing the choices I made, and asking "what if I did the other thing". Just off the top of my head, I could be still at uni doing research on maths or physics, I could be working on designing new robots for who knows what, or branching off even earlier, I could have been a doctor like my parents.

I'm only 24, so it seems like I might be a bit young for this kind of thinking, but there's still a lot of things I could have done differently.

 

My general assumption for the lowest I can expect a person to behave is basically always looking for their own absolute gain, and any attitude towards other people comes secondary to that. So while a person living by this standard wouldn't donate to charity without some other motive, they would have basically the same answer to something like the trolley problem as anyone else.

Am I wrong thinking of this as a "minimum reasonable behavior", or is there something people actually gain from the suffering of other people?

This question was born out of seeing how people are being treated by the US government at the moment, but I'm asking about more than just that. People like abusive partners/family, hostile cops, or just bullies in general.

 

What does someone have to do that means no amount of remorse or effort to fix things will get you to forgive them? I don't mean forgive and forget to the point where they can hurt you again. If someone repeatedly steals from you, forgiveness doesn't mean putting them in a position where they can steal again.

I'm asking this purely out of curiosity. I'm just wondering what the attitude in my corner of the internet is.

 

There's a mod I want to make, but I've never made a mod for any game before. What resources are there for starting out?

I know programming well enough so that's not a barrier, this is more about mod structure and testing

 
 

The most versatile of foods, creating chips, hash browns, and vodka, among other things. Which option is the best one?

IMO some good hot chips (fries for you incorrect Americans)

 

What movie do you want made? If you got a pitch meeting with a producer and a guaranteed green light, what would you say?
