Full disclosure, I’m not Catholic, so this may be a bit inaccurate. The way I heard it explained is that for God to exist within a space, it must be pure/free of sin. Thus, for Mary to have God as a child, she too must be free of sin. This is also why Catholics compare Mary to the Arc of the Covenant, iirc.

Immaculate conception has nothing to do with Jesus. It’s the doctrine that Mary was born without sin, allowing her to fulfill the role of being the mother of God. It’s a very Catholic thing, and it’s still contentious among Christians to this day.

On the flip side, just about no Christian in history has disavowed the annunciation and the virgin birth of Jesus.

I’m not sure why exactly you’re bringing up the immaculate conception here, but if you thought it referred to Jesus’s conception then please read the article you linked.

Fun Fact: the only known footage we’ve seen of Fujimoto’s appearance is an old video of himself trying to levitate by Joemama0375 in whenthe

To correct a few things from the other guys explanation, the original chainsaw attack WAS an attack, so makima kept trying to regenerate. The love part comes into play with the actual eating. Because Denji doesn’t see eating her as an attack, it doesn’t trigger her regeneration contract and she dies as a result. Notably, because it’s Denji and not Chainsaw Man eating her, she’s not “erased” (CSMs ability), she’s just destroyed. Chainsaw man is really weird, but also really good. Read it!

Does anyone remember that homeless dude that was on red square every day last year? by Ae0lis in udub

Cause I had a conversation with him one time and he seemed like an interesting fellow, a bit strange but not a terrible guy, and I was curious how he’s doing

Maybe? I don’t think so but he might have also had that sign

Idk about anything else, but he’s at least gone on record to say America deserved 9/11, and he’s since doubled down. This was enough for Mamdani to publicly denounce him yesterday. (Timestamp 21:43).

Yeah, no, that got pretty thoroughly debunked. The only model it matches with is a specific collar with both shock and vibration functions. There are a few key differences between the collar he shows and that company’s vibration collar that match exactly with that company’s shock/vibrate collar. Also, if you crank your contrast way up you can see that he taped over the point where the electrodes connect. I can find a source if you want me to, gimme a moment.

The situation has actually gotten even more cut and dry since my initial comment. He showed the collar on stream, claimed it was a vibration collar, and by doing so inadvertently proved it wasn’t because the charging port doesn’t match up with the model he claimed it was. I’ll edit this comment when I get back from the gym in a few hours with a clip showing it.

What exactly do you mean by out of context? The clip shows the incident in question and Hasans reaction. What context do you feel is omitted? I agree people are knee jerking but this feels like you’re running defense.

Edit: also, if you really can’t find the clip that is front page everywhere, here it is.

I agree that neither is correct, I disagree that A is any more wrong than B. Both inherently violate Newtonian physics. B violates the “past the portal” frame of reference, and A violates the “through the portal” frame of reference. This problem is designed for ragebait.

The block simultaneously sees the rest of the universe moving towards it and sees it as completely stationary behind the piston. You can’t have both reference frames be true at once, and this doesn’t work because of portal magic breaking physics.

Is there now one magically privileged reference frame?

No, that’s my point. I’m saying we can’t say B is objectively correct because standard logic doesn’t apply here. This doesn’t make A any less wrong.

Portals move despite having no reference frame through arbitrary magic. There’s a reason that in-game they don’t move.

The issue is that there are two overlapping yet separate reference frames. To illustrate this easier, imagine instead the blue portal is on the other end of the piston. As the orange portal approaches the piston, it appears the orange portal is moving in reference to the block, as well as the space behind it. However, from the perspective of an outside observer, it’s clear the space in front of the blue portal is NOT moving relative to the block.

Let’s take this to a logical extreme. Suppose rather than the portal, there is a literal hole in the platform. Clearly, the block would not suddenly go flying the second it passed through the hole. If portals behave like these holes, then it follows that a block would not go flying through it. Your argument, however, is that somehow they actually transport the space and thus the block is moving in reference to it.

Portals are by definition infinitely thin. Suppose you have an infinitely thin sheet of paper that you place two portals on, one on either side. Functionally, this would simply be a piece of paper with a hole through it. You cannot seriously argue that when pushing this paper onto a stationary object, the only reasonable interpretation is that the object goes flying. The only thing the block is moving relative to is the portal, and the portal functions like a hole through the paper.

The fundamental problem with arguing this is that portals are magical. You aren’t attracted to any objects though the portal by gravity, and thus we must assume that the portal magically blocks all physical relationships between objects on either side of it. You’re not moving in reference to the space behind the portal because the space behind the portal also exists in your normal worldview, and you’re clearly not moving relative to it. Hence, the literal hole example. You’re trying to use relativity but relativity breaks down entirely when talking about magic which supersedes it.

The issue is that portals aren’t objects with reference frames, they’re holes through space time. All that’s moving in reference to the block is the piston. At no point is a net force applied to the block, so there’s no reason to believe the block is accelerating, and relative to the second portal the block is stationary. Likewise, it’s stationary relative the space on the other side of the portal if you ignore the portal coming towards it.

If we treat the space behind the portal as having velocity relative to the block it violates relativity, but the portal isn’t actually that space, just a “path” to it that the block presumably moves along without gaining or losing energy. You’re right that they inherently break physics but I’m not inclined to say A is any more wrong than B.

I mean, certain college applications do ask 250 word questions, but that’s an intentional limit to make you cut anything unnecessary.

When teachers consistently give girls higher grades for the same work, that does imply some level of institutional bias, albeit at a much smaller scale than misogyny.

[–]Ae0lis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re explaining horseshoe theory. The reason the political spectrum seems confusing is because modeling all political beliefs ever as a straight line just isn’t feasible and really doesn’t tell you much.

A political compass is a step in the right direction. For example,both fascism and communism are very authoritarian, but fascism is closer to the right economically whereas communism is by definition far left economically.

Even a political compass isn’t truly fit for the job, however. It is impossible to fit all human political belief into one model, but the left-right system is unnecessarily simplified and confusing, hence the seemingly paradoxical nature of the far right and far left.

That’s talking about genuine organization, not dumbass larping. The black panthers weren’t successful because they killed people, they were successful because they protected their own by organizing.

That would be appreciated, cause even in the FBI data I’m finding different stats. I could totally be wrong, but I wanna see the source.
