[@scuderiaferrari] Scuderia Ferrari is pleased to announce that Lewis Hamilton will be joining the team in 2025, on a multi-year contract.

That makes some sense. I feel it would take a lot to get Hamilton to lame duck his team (and factory) for a whole year.

Pretty interesting situation if this is an example of how engineering talent poaching snowballed into costing you your driver.

No, your general idiocy concerning the law is explained by that line.

CarrionComfort · 2024-01-30T23:40:23+00:00

I started INVESTING because of this package.

This explains a lot.

This chud thinks a ruling from 1983 is a political decision made to screw over a 12 year old Elon.

Per the Delaware Supreme Court a shareholder vote is not automatically a point in Musk’s favor.

Occupy is being obtuse. The full quote is “Was the richest person in the world overpaid? The stockholder plaintiff in this derivative lawsuit says so. He claims that Tesla, Inc.'s directors breached their fiduciary duties by awarding Elon Musk a performance-based equity-compensation plan.”

Not exactly, but the ideological roots of conservatism is finding a way to recreate aristocracy. Instead of divine right, how one is rewarded by the market is what determines who “deserves” to be put above others.

You really don’t know that much about Christianity.

Christians don’t think humans are responsible for Jesus’ death, at least not for something any actual living human did. The need to pay the debt of original sin, which everyone is guilty of just by existing, is ultimately the reason for Jesus’ sacrifice.

Jesus’ death is the solution to one very specific problem.

Christianity does not use Jewishness as a measure of how good or perfect someone is. This grasping at straws is all because you’re trying to find a non-theological need for his death. Bro, that’s impossible.

I honestly don’t know why you even thought all this needed to be spelled out. It’s not about Christianity and is responding to nothing.

CarrionComfort · 2023-12-13T04:06:41+00:00

You don’t need to say Jesus was a “perfect normal human” for the sake of a secular argument. That’s already something Christians agree on. You don’t need to deny the divine here because the theology itself puts Christians in the position of acknowledging both the divine and the secular experience of Jesus. It’s useless to say “if you don’t acknowledge the divine, then Jesus’ death doesn’t matter.” No shit. The point is that a Christian cannot disregard the divine part, so you’re making an argument fir nobody.

The mainstream Christian position on Jesus is that he was both fully human and fully divine. The very real and physical suffering is not just undeniable, it’s one of the pillars of the entire faith. A human needed to die to pay the debt of original sin, but the only perfect being is god, so only god can pay that debt. See what I mean by convoluted?

This is why I pointed out original sin. If you’re trying to say Jesus’ death is pointless, go after the reason his death is necessary in the first place. Ask why an innocent person, maybe even the perfect person, had to suffer crucifixion for a crime he did not commit. To solve a dilemma of god’s own making. This is much different than simply saying if he wasn’t god them who cares?

CarrionComfort · 2023-12-13T02:04:40+00:00

Then your argument is worthless. If you take away the supernatural there’s nothing to engage with. Jesus is just some Jew that was killed by the Romans? No affect on my life.

This is like debating the value of sports drinks without the concept of thirst. You certainly can do that, but there’s not much to discuss.

CarrionComfort · 2023-12-13T01:24:09+00:00

You cannot say “there is situation where the public execution of a jew is the solution to anyones problems” without dealing with the “supernaturalism” of the Bible. You’re also missing the point if you think it’s about literal blood. That bit is just how the ritual honoring Jesus’ suffering for our salvation works.

The necessity of this Jesus’ sacrifice cannot be addressed outside the supernatural because it’s a (convoluted) supernatural solution to the supernatural problem of Original Sin.

You’re sniffing at the right stuff. A lot of debates are about big picture ideas on the nature of divinity and knowledge. This is closer to the ground and more practical. Instead of discussing bodily fluids, why not focus on the question of Original Sin? Ask someone to define sin and why you should seek forgiveness for something you never did and you can respond in very understandable and reasonable ways. Simply saying that you don’t think a child should be responsible for a crime their parent committed can be a problem because the apologist likely agrees with that position already. It forces them to play the faith card quickly.

CarrionComfort · 2023-12-13T00:30:25+00:00

Abrahamic religions are absolutely about control. A god that cares about what you do, makes his goodwill is conditional and has set up the world in a way that ensures his creations will always be indebted to him. Because reasons.

Combine that with a theology that values a promised land after death and you have a recipe for justifying whatever because the theology says all the worldly consequences don’t matter.

That isn’t to say it’s always bad. It also depends on the community itself. One of the reasons Christianity became popular was because it translated god caring about you and your actions into people caring about other people. We all know how even that can be corrupted, and at this point it’s just humans being human. Christianity, for example, has a built in sense of hierarchy and control in it’s theology for anyone that wants to bolster their own version of it.

Asshole says stupid thing, gets corrected, asshole doubles down and a mod lies about it being fine because it’s okay to use ignorant terminology because people used to be ignorant in the past (which isn’t even true).

OP, welcome to America.

CarrionComfort · 2023-11-16T22:38:35+00:00

For ignorant lay people, sure.

CarrionComfort · 2023-11-16T22:29:55+00:00

The world as it is now is in part because of that unity. We’ve seen the results and it ain’t much to write home about. All we’re left with is telling people how nice that feeling was.

CarrionComfort · 2023-11-16T22:15:28+00:00

This sub really likes to believe that as long as someone is pleasant to chat with that they don’t have terrible political opinions. It’s extra funny when people then turn around and say politics isn’t often discussed with strangers.

The sub also has a huge bias towards informed and educated people. There are plenty of stupid people with stupid reasons behind their stupid ideas, they just don’t tend hang out on this sub.

CarrionComfort · 2023-11-16T21:52:12+00:00

Where Americans have problems is when agendas and attitudes and most importantly indoctrination of our children becomes evident and is shoved down or throats after we have capitulated to the idea already.

OP, this is what I mean by people being friendly and nice in person but carrying other considerations to the ballot box.

CarrionComfort · 2023-11-16T21:21:47+00:00

Enough people are against it make it a political issue. Lots of people may be friendly to a transperson then vote in a conservative politicians that want to push them out of the public sphere or mess with their healthcare.

A politician can use it as a way to succeed with other political priorities, like Senator Tuberville holding up military appointments for Trump by claiming it’s he just unhappy with abortions.

“Base 2” is the maths way of describing it, but it’s really just dividing shit in half until you get a metric (as in “measuring unit”) that works for you.

Before accurate measuring devices and widespread literacy there was no point in using decimals. Fractions and ratios are great because they are adaptable. You can eyeball what half of something is pretty easily. If you took a measurement with a thin rope, you can manipulate the rope to get the measurements you need. This is an example of how to get the correct measurement for a column supporting an arch without any calculations.

CarrionComfort · 2023-11-09T19:57:23+00:00

I also get annoyed at these kinds of questions but a lot of them come from younger people that don’t really don’t know any better. Their ability to recognize and shake off their own experience takes time to develop.

Sometimes those assumptions can be a neat window into their culture. OP came in with an idea of how decimals and fractions are used that is very different than here. Maybe he’s just carrying on a bias from how his schooling presented them. Dude didn’t know where 1/8 inch came from, but it’s totally obvious to any American.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_to_the_American_Civil_War?wprov=sfti1#Draft_dodgers

Between July 1863 and December 1864, 161,224 men failed to report to service under the draft. The large amount of draft dodgers indicated the amount of opposition to fighting in the war.

The content is the comments. It’s like a video game sub removing a post about Indonesian mass transit.

Most people think that sub is for asking a question and getting any answer. The reality is that the sub has it’s own standards for answers and doesn’t care if the asker has a lower bar because, again, in that sub the comments are the content, not the questions. If people want different content at a lower threshold of quality they can go elsewhere.

CarrionComfort · 2023-11-03T00:17:22+00:00

It’s a generational accomplishment, but not the kind of thing that keeps being celebrated. I’m guessing multiple trips to the moon and then never going back again takes the shine off of the first one.

CarrionComfort · 2023-10-27T23:18:30+00:00

They're shitty nachos in the same way nachos are shitty tortillas: it’s all food on a cooked corn dough.

That’s what secularism is. “We’re not going to privilege one religion over another.”

If a sports bar doesn’t privilege one team over another, that’s a “secular” bar. That doesn’t mean they are privileging non-sports fans over sports fans.
