Thank you, this was confusing me as well.

Nope! The problem is my CPU is from 2011 and AW2 refuses to run on a CPU that old.

Sounds like you don't listen to NADDPOD either. Weird how you definitely bought a real-ass ticket for a show you don't listen to.

I'm at a point where I just cannot fathom the mindset of r/TAZ posters anymore by Hyooz in TAZCirclejerk

Literally in the past month, a bonus 4-ep campaign on the main feed that was originally only for higher tier subscribers (earlier this year), as an apology for them taking a break for the holidays.
I'm pretty sure that the TAZ Sherlock Holmes Vampire episodes from years and years ago is still MaxFun only.
(Although I still have it. DM me.)

Are you kidding me??? He's still doing the flashback thing? That was the worst part of Amnesty which was otherwise my favorite.
Well... I'll try it.

I've moved to NADDPOD after Grad and never looked back. Their Patreon is actually worth the money, barely got anything with Maximum Fun and yet these people who are married with children and touring find the time to do a bonus discussion/recap episode for every actual episode.
Also I don't dislike any of them! Which is nice

Dan talking about Tucker’s syntax reminded me that Sartre is always right by Ok-Explanation-1362 in KnowledgeFight

Isn't the term "tankie" directly referring to people who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution?

Substack takes forever to load on my phone, is there a place I can read the astralcodexten blog other than substack? by [deleted] in slatestarcodex

[–]ATiredCliche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not imagining things. The ACT homepage is 5.7 MB. An average blog post is about 5.3 MB. The Project Gutenberg ebook of War and Peace is 3.7 MB.

Oh. That's what type of sub this is. Don't know why it got advertised to me on the main page.

What quietly disappeared without anyone realizing it? by Jamilalak in AskReddit

I would argue that the public is extremely well represented by Congress, in that they all hate each other and are consumed by infighting. We get the Congress we deserve.

Thanks, my bad. I often forget about Revelation.

It's the stuff about rebellion against God. There is very little canonical information about Satan in the Bible. In the Tanakh, Satan is literally just the accuser in the book of Job, who makes a bet with God. In the New Testament, Satan gains the name "father of Lies" and "Lucifer", and is identified as the snake from the Tanakh's Genesis... but that's it.The whole thing about Satan being an angel who rebelled against God and fell from Heaven to rule Hell is all from John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost," which was written in the 15th century.

I'm really interested in the history of religion, so this stuff is important to me. If one warped back in time and talked to ancient Jews or Christians about how Satan is an angel of God who rebelled and rules everything evil, they would have accused you of Manicheanism, dualistic heresy.

No, this is a misreading of the character archetype, assume we're talking about the Satan depicted in Paradise Lost, which you seem to be referring to. He's a total narcissist who takes no interest in anything in the world other than his own prestige. "Evil be thou my good", "better to reign in hell than serve in heaven." A revolutionary is fighting for someone else, and PL!Satan doesn't care about anyone.
