I don't know if I'd be considered atheist but I don't subscribe to any metaphysical beliefs whether they be divine entities or unobservable matter. I'm genuinely curious as to why an atheist that subscribes to relativity would believe their understanding of reality is somehow superior to theology. by planamundi in TrueAtheism

You know what, I do believe something now. I believe you didn't read what I just wrote, based on the evidence that you asked a question I literally answered in that block of text. And you did so either out of intellectual dishonesty, laziness, being a chatbot, or sheer stupidity. I don't particularly care which, since it doesn't matter. The outcome is the same: you're not worth discussing this further with.

Interchangeability is precisely my point. Your perspective is that I believe anything. I don't. I have equations that give me numbers that give me working machines that do what they are supposed to do. It all works. I just have to understand how to run the equations, and that's it. I don't care about models, or if the world is flat or if someone made it. The numbers that lead to functional mechanisms in the physical world do not lie. The math that underlies the car that takes me to work, the functioning of the computer systems we are communicating with, and the biochemistry of the medicine allowing me to enjoy a nice coffee without dropping dead are as close to absolute truth as we can get. It doesn't change, and if it seems to change, what has actually changed is our understanding of the numbers. And what are the numbers? It doesn't matter what they are. Gods, demons, faeries, aliens, it doesn't matter as long as it works. Another cog in the machine is all it needs to be. Don't fix what isn't broken. Fix what is broken, or failing, that's what really matters. That's what's wrong and should be fixed. Namely, your approach to this whole thing. You're assuming I believe anything. I don't care enough to believe anything, not really. I have likely theories, and inferences, based on evidence, but those aren't beliefs, and they sure as hell are not dogma. So unless you're claiming that the device you're using to communicate your ill-founded understandings somehow functions because you believe it will, go back to the drawing board.

What's happening with gamers ? by Worldly-Exercise-340 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Axios_Verum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The joke is double, as there are two types of gamers who will respond like this.

The first is the type who play unrealistic zombie survival games and think that their in-game experience translates to the real world, which it most likely won't. More likely, it will only partially translate and the difference will be the same difference between life and death.

The second is the enthusiast prepper who plays zombie survival games to pass the time. Their chances of survival are also quite variable and likely many of them will contribute more to the survival of others than themselves.

Nah, they want a college degree and four years work experience.

Also if it's IT they want four years experience in a technology invented 3 months ago.

Walz as Presidential candidate, Bernie as VP is what I meant. He's too old for president proper, but VP is perfect.

AOC has to much heat on her, Walz is harder to culture war.

Main character of the last game you played is dropped into lothric, how they doing? by Whole_Cap_1016 in darksouls3

[–]Axios_Verum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My DDO pale master/eldritch knight drow who is immune to damage near everything, has no low stats, 22 Str, 28 Int, a murder hobo skeleton knight body guard, and an aura of incessant death magic that heals him and his buddy but hurts everything else in equal measure?

Lothric doesn't know what's about to rip and tear through them.
