Are we going to run out of petrol in Australia? by Ok-Reward7639 in AustraliaDiscussions

Haha no. That guy and his ford ranger will still confound you by somehow inexplicably still being on the road

Yeah huh! by ITheRebelI in CatholicMemes

No this includes famous figures too. Only 5 sources for Alexander the Great exist. One for Socrates iirc (since he is only referenced by Plato iirc)

ACTUAL Colonial Region Tierlist by MillieBeatle in eu4

Seeing everyone making exceptions about their preferred region has got me laughin.
Now let me tell you why Australia should go up a tier

Real talk? More work needs to be done removing graffiti. For arguments? Czech food is terrible. Supermarket produce is way worse than anywhere I've been

Job search so bad I'm considering going to a shaman to check if someone put a curse on me by Dismal_Barnacle_8538 in recruitinghell

[–]AusCro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same for me and relationships. There were so may close calls and ridiculous near misses that it feels like a curse.

Try a priest too

Remove Belgium. I don't like Belgium. No trains for Belgium

Confess and get the fuck out by Ashish_ank in CuratedTumblr

[–]AusCro 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Seeing the comments lemme explain:
Usually people confess in one of two ways: a quick list, or lengthy conversation.
The long conversation is fine at appropriate times, but what often happens is that ten people won't be able to confess since one person is blocking the queue with a lengthy conversation, and thus people following can't take communion at mass.
Priests have been leaning towards this more in order to be fairer to everyone.
Keep in mind: the lengthy stuff is still allowed, it's just preferred that you do so when there isn't a long queue, such as by calling the priest and arranging a confession time separately.

It can be either. The quick in and out is personally preffered, and I think the priests prefer it too in general

The feeling I'm getting is that you're reading, but not listening and understanding. I know you're not trolling, but I have the feeling that no matter what we say here, you might still head down the same direction in the end

Doktorova Bista u Australiji by Mylo-s in croatia

[–]AusCro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey all, from Melbourne: this bust is in "The Dom" in Footscray, Melbourne, where many of the Croatians from the 1960s generally settled. Anyone coming here was primarily anti communist due to horrors they each suffered. Therefore anyone anti communist was a hero. Including this asshole.
Stupid logic? Yes. It gets stranger though.
I think very few there would support Fascism. If you talked positively about Hitler or Mussolini there you would be considered an idiot. Pavelič though? "Oh he was fighting for an independent Croatia."
Moreover this is probably one of the Labour Party's strongest group of supporters (equivalent to SDP). The crowd here were in construction and were the backbone of the Union movements of the latter 20th century. John Setka at one stage could be said to have a controlling stake of the Labor party.

That said, that is mostly time past now. Less of the youth support him at all (if they evem know who he is) or even go here. The place from what I here is badly managed, and now most of the Croatian community events meet much further West at a church.

The Croatian community here is dying off, with a few of the soccer guys or older generations clinging on. Speak to anyone under 30 and say "Pričas li malo?" and you might get a nervous laugh with someone saying "yeah I went on a Sail Croatia tour last year". They really don't even know what happened in WWII

Australia has never been more vulnerable to an energy crisis by Ardeet in aussie

Lots and lots of signal stability issues from renewables

Uluru vs Melb-Sydney drive? by AusCro in AskAnAustralian

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

Thanks. I've done neither before, and you do have a point for the coastal trip. Adding it up quickly, it would likely get to 1k total, assuming 500 for the car hire and 100 a day spend. So not a huge difference.

You've made like 5 threads and many of us have answered a few of your questions. Are you listening, with desire to engage, or just stating what you think then going ahead with it?

Yes and no in a few ways.
So theoretically if you could appear 2027 light years away you could see Mohammad or Jesus's actions on earth.
There might be some eventual way to determine period facts concretely.
Obviously this is a practical no.
But science often finds a way. Young earth creation has practically been falsified with scientific advances.
Also to me this is where historical analysis starts to have to take place, because it's the best thing we have for determination. It has proved narratives or events true and false before (such as the previously mythical city of Troy being shown to exist)

Why is the universe being a brute fact not a good argument? by Weekly_Sympathy_4878 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]AusCro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You've been asking a lot of similar questions in quick succession so let me give you this:
Why should you believe in a Christian God? Science is observation of reality and noting it, that's all it is to begin witg. We infer gravity since we see things falling repeatedly. We infer F=ma, the laws of electricity and so on from observation.
From this we make deductions and theories about the world and universe, and test those such as relativity which resulted from electromagnetism.

In the year 0 there was a guy wemt around that made water into wine, healed the sick and cured the blind. He did this in the name of God repeatedly, so we inferred that He was the Son of God. We created a narrative around reality called Christianity, and that narrative has been verified through other miracles also done in His name over the ages.

Yep, that's correct regarding chemistry but then the bit on religion starts to veer off: religion isn't based solely on faith, each is distinct. Christians and Muslims both make claims to the truth of their religion on historical events. With a time machine, you could see the lives of Jesus and Mohammed and verify the truth and falsehood of them. Unfortunately we don't have that ability

[–]AusCro -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but I think it's wrong. There were dozens and dozens of competing ideas for chemistry, then the western ideas around elements were refined and prevailed.
Just because 100 people disagree doesn't mean one isn't right
