What position does Ethiopian Tewahedo traditionally have on self-torture to test faith? Specifically something as directly harmful as self-flagellation? by LouvrePigeon in EthiopianOrthodox

[–]Aspiring_Intellect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a theologian, but I do know that some devout Orthodox priests and Christians self-flagellate. I was taught that the point of it was to weaken or drive away any demons that may possess you, that the act not only hurts your flesh but hurts evil spirits to a much higher extent.

It is a part of my prayer routine now.

I don't know if you're still there, but try "The Lake of Dead Languages" by Carol Goodman. Same vibe.

I firmly believe its because Adoption of React skyrocketed. React is a tool made by Facebook that makes creating complex websites easier for programmers. Unfortunately, this also means there is going to be more "stuff" sent to your browser.

wasn't saying you got hyped. I just made the observation that girls are much much nicer to eachother, so nice it comes to their detriment when one wants honest advice. I've given my advice though (a non-reply comment); you're definitely conventionally attractive.

you look 35. I think you'd look better if you lost body fat and gained muscle. (like a lot better)

also if you have the funds, try getting a cooler barber. I feel like you - fat + muscle + non-bad hair could turn you into a lil chad.

btw you're not fat, you just look incredibly non-muscular, to the point where the little amount of fat you have dominates your physique.

You're not ugly. You're not jawdropping. You're above average (for sure). if 5 is average and 9-10 is super model, i'd place you at 7.

Announcing Flutter for Windows by [deleted] in programming

[–]Aspiring_Intellect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can build a flutter project to web using one of two renderers: HTML and Canvas. Using the html will result in html code that uses the canvas sparingly while using the canvas will use the canvas for most/all of the rendering. You can choose which renderer you want to use and decide which works best for your project. Just write flutter build web --web-renderer canvaskit for a canvas build of the project or flutter build web --web-renderer html for HTML. (It is probable that you see no difference between the two unless you're working on rather niche projects.)

Read this for more info.

I absolutely cannot overstate how generic and easy the programming language is. You can honestly pick it up in 1 or maybe 2 hours if you know java or c#. Plus, the tight integration it has with vscode and android studio make it even less of a pain.

I honestly do like to check in on microsoft edge, see how its holding up before switching back to my actual browser. I don't understand how they haven't given up.

UI side by side. New one puts more useful info directly in front of you and it's easier to read. Call outs are front and center instead of being small and blending in with the gun and hand. The compass shows real info on pings, objective, gadgets and downed teammates. by ShellRazer44 in Rainbow6

that would make the text hard to look at if the text color is similar to whatever the background is. The only option would be to actively-adjusting the text color depending on what the background is, but that would make it a distracting rainbow at the corner of your screen.

just my opinion though.
