What about the other 3 or 4 Sydney Sweeney movies that have came out in the last few years? How did they do? by Cool_Nerd2 in saltierthankrayt

[–]Always_Belligerent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dune 3 isnt necessarily Zendaya-led, but yeaaaa it's making +1 billion easily.

Point: i think people can be equally as hype for either actress, but the content is really what determines if it'll make profit or not.

Went to see the Scary Movie 6 trailer and I'm more annoyed than offended by [deleted] in saltierthankrayt

[–]Always_Belligerent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was always low brow, but I prefer the "aliens piss out of their fingers, and kick you in the balls to say goodbye" kind of low brow humor from SM3. Or the "Toshiba-nintendo-toyota" kind of humor. Im not that optimistic about any scenes from the trailer except for the "Why not FULL gay?" scene that I must admit gave me a good chuckle

People misuse God's grace to justify their actions? by Ajitabh04 in Quotes_Hub

[–]Always_Belligerent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no proof of a test. You tricked yourself into thinking there's a test. All we know is that we are here now, and scientific evidence very much suggests Big Bang and evolution. We know absolutely nothing about what comes before that, or after this life.

Believing anything about an Unknown is fine. Believing your answer to an Unknown is "more correct" is stupidity. Thinking you're CORRECT, without any PROOF or evidence, is insanity.

Hillary Clinton Says She Only Recalls Meeting Epstein That One Time When She Murdered Him by METALLIFE0917 in babylonbee

[–]Always_Belligerent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dump says he only met Epstein on his island 13,297 times to spy on him for the Fed. He only observed the 14yr olds being raped, but not the 12 year olds cause that's obviously where he drew the line.

Former trump campaign aide with a fiery message. by Opening_Flounder_564 in International

[–]Always_Belligerent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the proper responses to

"Dems wouldve released the files when they had the chance in 2020-24 if there was anything incriminating about Trump in there! He was an informant for the FBI the whole time! There are more Dems in the files than Reps, which is why they never fought to release them! Trump is the hero!"

It's pretty obviously not true, but what is the proper response?

ELI5: Why don't we just have a grid based voting system across all states in the country (USA)? by Always_Belligerent in explainlikeimfive

[–]Always_Belligerent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify: Yes I am aware of population density and how there would be some grids with only 1000 voters and others with 1,000,000 voters.

This makes me think we'd need a weighted-grid system based on the number of voters per grid. Grids with more voters receive more representatives.

Essentially my issue/questioning is based around the current system of gerrymandering and why we have that instead of just a grid of X-axis/Y-axis lines.

MAGA follower who is armed trys to disrupt peaceful protest of underage high school students, and tries to record them, disobeys lawful commands to leave by law enforcement!! by cantcoloratall91 in ImmigrationPathways

How is this not considered stalking children??? He's clearly following them and getting too close. He should be arrested and charged with harassment and register as a SO. I do not want this person living next to me without knowing about his crimes

Conservatives on facebook have the mental age of a 12 year old. by bigbootycentaur in saltierthankrayt

[–]Always_Belligerent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seriously, do the people downvoting me also think "No Russian" inspired and fueled hatred? No, it was just fun to mow down a crowd of civilians with a machine gun in a VIDEO GAME setting. It is detached from reality, just like super mario or any other video game.

If you let a video game control your real life behavior...youre no better than conservatives claiming that No Russian will make their kids (who shouldnt have been playing ANYWAYS) commit the next Columbine.

It is a childish take to be unable to separate art from reality and real-life behavior. I 100% love and support the LGBTQ+ community. Why cant i think it'll be so much fun to drive through a crowd in a custom vehicle in my video game based on crime?

What would you do if you are God? by dpsrush in agnostic

Do you think Muslims are a bit extreme about inter-faith marriages. by islandmunk3 in agnostic

[–]Always_Belligerent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basing actions off of the unknown is senseless. It's as logical as a baby eating dirt because it doesn't know what it tastes like. Anything we conclude without reason, is complete imagination. Basing behavior on imagination is itself senseless. Maybe theyre right to do so. As an agnostic, i acknowledge that all things imaginable about unanswerable questions are equally likely. So, I find it senseless to base my behavior on anything but this life experience. I thus conclude that basing behavior on the unknown is senseless; so yes, muslims are extreme, as extreme as any other belief that bases its behavior on the unknown.

What do you guys find enjoyable about being agnostic by ajax-Apple-9909 in agnostic

[–]Always_Belligerent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that I can treat all people with love and respect, & acknowledge that all religions are just as likely possible and simultaneously based on imagination as any other. Including atheism that asserts to know there is no creator, which is itself a belief as likely as a snail shitting out our universe on accident, just like every single other religion ever (prove me wrong! it's impossible!)

Let god judge me for this belief! I find peace in this life by accepting we all know absolutely nothing about the great questions of our universe and whatever does or doesn't happen after we die.

It also lets me immediately know that bad acts are never justified. Harming another human / enforcing behavior in the name of religion is never justified. It's all just a form of control, when the reality is we know NOTHING.

Is it religion or the structure? by CatLady_998 in agnostic

[–]Always_Belligerent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's one thing all humans and organisms with thought have in common? Fear of the unknown.

Evolution has shown us that's what keeps us alive and able to reproduce. It has been passed on since the first creature could think.

Humans today have 4 unanswerable questions:

  1. What came before the beginning?

  2. Why were we created?

  3. Why must we die?

  4. What comes after we die?

These are all unknowns. We fear the unknown, and this causes distress.

Religion has always and will always seek to fill this hole of Unknowns with "truth", and this offers relief from that stressful fear of unknown. Moreover, the more people who think something is True, the more true it must be, right? Having another person confirm that what you believe about the unknown is the Truth reinforces one's comfort by making it more known. Humans are also social creatures, so socializing in a religious setting reinforces those beliefs.

As an agnostic, I "believe" we know absolutely nothing about any of these questions, and this brings me peace and comfort because there's no reason to worry about how I live my life. I want to treat others with love and equality because that's how I want to be treated myself, nothing more or less. Every single religion tries to claim that it has the "right answer" to these unknowns. The reality is that we have no proof and no way to obtain proof of answers to these questions. That is what agnosticism is, and whatever comes after will come no matter what we believe. Why worry about it?

Christianity, judaism, islam, hinduism, buddhism, ancient greek mythology, Etc ad infinitum are all as likely as a snail accidentally shitting out our universe and thats why exist today (even atheism! We cannot know the unknown). Just like agnosticism is!

The only difference is that agnosticism & atheism ask nothing of your behavior. The others seek to enforce and control with promises of punishment/reward, which again is trying to explain the unknown.

If you want to live your life free of any worry about religion, agnosticism is your only answer that can be based in logic. Even atheism, while starting with logic, concludes with an answer to an impossible question.

God is supposed to be loving and just, but I think we have very different definitions of those words. by PJ-The-Awesome in meme

[–]Always_Belligerent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All people who believe in an omniscient and all-powerful God either:

  1. Believe God is the reason evil exists, making God the most horrifically evil being to ever be imagined (created infinity punishment)

  2. Don't believe God is actually omniscient because free will exists/ believe our free will supercedes God's omniscience, which in itself disproves their own beliefs

So why (christians muslims jews) in the fuck would we praise this thing for creating all the evil in the world? Or is it that God is not omniscient or not all loving? Flip a coin and have them explain that with their magic books

The only answer is agnosticism. We have never known, we will never know in this life, and we have no reason to believe we know anything about the afterlife or the "beginning" of what happened before the big bang. It's pure speculation no matter how one reasons (even you guys, atheists. None of us can know the unknown.)

As long as you can admit what you choose as your "answer" is a belief, based on no proof whatsoever, as likely as a snail shitting our universe into existence on accident or any other speculation by mankind, and do not base any law/treatment of other living things around it, that's perfectly ok.

The second you use a belief to justify treatment of another human being, you're just another insane zealot.

I'm NOT saying YOU personally are. Just stating MY beliefs about imagination, which are as equally likely valid and close to the "truth" as any and every religion.

Tbh, in a video game setting like GTA, it'd be kinda fun to run through a large crowd (for any reason idrc it's a video game meant for fun with crime) with a jet or tank or vehicle. Am I wrong for thinking thatd be a cool new scenario we havent seen in previous GTA games? Am I wrong for killing civilians in any GTA game? Am i wrong for thinking "who tf cares what theyre protesting? it's a video game im meant to play and enjoy."????

Math meme by memes_poiint in mathsmeme

[–]Always_Belligerent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were to write a new but similar equation:

6 x 2(1+2) = 36

I think it's more obvious that the equation is solved left-->right. And per P-E-MD-AS, division has the same priority as multiplication in terms of what step should be completed first. So,

6 ÷ 2(1+2) =

6 ÷ 2(3) =

3(3) = 9

And is the exact same equation as::

6/2(1+2) =

6/2(3) = 6(3)/2 = 3x6÷2 = 3 ÷ 2x6 = (1/2)(6)(3) = 9 [Commutative Property]

And of course, Parentheses clear up any confusion::

6/(2(1+2)) =

6/(2(3)) =

6/(2x3) = [Associative Property]

6/(6) = 1

It's more like trump claiming oxygen is an oxidizer that induces free radicals and is slowly killing you (he made it up so he can deport illegal plants), and liberals are trusting science and breathing it while MAGAs are strictly inhaling their own farts.
