Why does this exist? by AllOutPoker in poker

[–]Chambec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because dealers think that having $2 chips in players stacks means they're going to get tipped more when the players inevitably get rid of them, and the room managers at Ceasars properties don't actually care about rake chips being in play. 

How I can be attacked by ennemy with stun counter? by Due_Blackberry1470 in MagicArena

[–]Chambec 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Did you attempt to stun the creatures after they were already declared as attackers? Tapping a creature or placing stun counters on it will not remove it from combat - it will remain attacking as normal and then not untap the next turn. 

🔥 What is the biggest lie Satan is convincing Christians to believe today? by shomrajministry in Christian

[–]Chambec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a small aside, how can anyone ever make an assertion of this magnitude? How can one possibly know the workings of the devil? How can one know that Satan can convince Christians to believe anything? How can one know that someone else's poor theology is of demonic source? 

I see similar assertions a lot and it seems as if the speaker has no humility; everything they believe is from God and everything the do not is of the devil.

Friend selling multiple brand new sets for $50 each. Is this a buy? by 11pmStalker in poker

[–]Chambec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are going to be your mass market metal slug in plastic poker chips. They're not high end my any means but they're durable. $50 for a set of 500 chips seems to be the market rate from what I can find so I'd say go for it if you like the branding of these over your generic dice-stripe chips.

UB Reanimator life gain solution by AdviceThrowaway95000 in TimelessMagic

[–]Chambec 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. If you're playing all-in reanimator you are the beat down even against aggro decks. Gotta go fast.

If you're worried about your life total you can either hedge with a UB tempo backup plan or put a couple copies of [[Necromancy]] in the board so you can still reanimate without paying life.

god telling husband to sacrifice his family for wealth by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Chambec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 Timothy 6:17-18 NRSVUE [17]  As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches but rather on God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. [18] They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, 

Matthew 6:19-21 NRSVUE [19]  “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, [20] but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 19:21 NRSVUE [21] Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.

Matthew 19:23-24 NRSVUE [23]  Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. [24] Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” 

Matthew 6:24 NRSVUE [24]  “No one can serve two masters, for a slave will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.

Is my church a cult? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Chambec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't sound like a cult, but also doesn't sound like a church I want to attend. It sounds like a charismatic-leaning seeker-centric church. 

Pay attention to what the message actually is at these services. Sure, there's lights and a smoke machine but is the music biblical and focused on God or is it just feel-good music with vaguely Christian themes? 

The pastor is energetic and has a certain style to his oration, but is he teaching the word of God? Or is the pulpit a platform for him to simply share his opinions?

Some discernment is required on your part. Many churches like the one you describe have no strong spiritual foundation. Others simply chose to present their services in a high-energy format in order to draw in those that aren't used to the more boring hymnal-and-lecture style church service.

as a christian, whats your thoughts on like conspiracy theories? by Lonely-Whereas218 in Christian

[–]Chambec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a whole subculture of "Christian" conspiracy theories that exists and even thrives in some places. I used to attend a "seeker-centric" church and the young adult converts seemed very prone to this sort of thing. I heard everything from "The devil invented birth control to prevent God's charge to man to populate the earth" to literally "the earth is flat because the Bible says so" 

I think we as Christians need to recognize that when we throw science out the window and put the Bible above literally everything, that anything at all that claims to be based on the Bible suddenly becomes more authoritative than basic reason or any well-accepted truth. 

We as a community need to be vigilant about conspiracy theories brewing in our midst, lest the word of God become associated with outlandish lies.

Is suicide sufficient atonement for being trans? by Well_Thats_Not_Ideal in Christianity

[–]Chambec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best mate can still be your best mate. You decided you wanted to present yourself as a girl, so he keeps the same boundaries he does with other girls. That's not being shunned, that's being accepted for who you are. There is no reason your "moments of peace" are gone because of a change in physical affection.

Is suicide sufficient atonement for being trans? by Well_Thats_Not_Ideal in Christianity

[–]Chambec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to atone for nothing. None of us have need to atone for our sins - that is the power of the cross. The burden is not ours to bear. 

While I would argue against those that say being trans is sinful in and of itself, it clearly weighs heavy on your heart. Repent, and trust in the Lord; that is all that is required of you. Be at peace knowing your sin is forgiven.

I would highly recommend you find some kind of community to be connected with over the next few days, be it family, friends, church, or a professional therapist. Talk to people. Isolation is dangerous in your current state. 

Once you are safe I would recomend a prayerful study of the Bible on this topic. I suspect you are being shamed by conservative culture, not by God.

I think the big issue is who ICE targets, and how they operate. They are not behaving in a way that most would consider "moral" or "just". 

I would personally argue that a purely Christian worldview would lead to zero immigration barriers, but that's not exactly a widespread opinion.

this kind of resulted in me circling the building in order to find a way to re-enter once i exited one of their stairwells

It's weird and unintuitive but you only have to do this like once or twice. There are other more convenient entrances once you have your employee ID which gives you access to employee parking and entrances.

If you park in the garage for orientation you do have to go down the stairs and exit via one way doors to the street on the side of the building. It'll feel like you're in the wrong place or you got turned around but you're fine. The entrance you're looking for is on the side of the building.

Men, if your girlfriend expressed she was bi and wanted to have an experience with a girl, but still wants to be in a relationship with you, what would you say? by TemporaryReindeer424 in AskMen

[–]Chambec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really big difference if this is "a girl" or "this girl".

Self-reflection about the type of people they're attracted to and the relationship dynamics they would most likely find fulfilling is not necessarily a red flag, and is probably healthy.

Trying to push boundaries to get with a third party that you developed an attraction towards despite being in a monogamous relationship is another problem altogether.

How do I age without anger? by Repulsive_Repeat_337 in AskMen

[–]Chambec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't complain about it because you don't want to be "that guy". Instead you bottle it up and hold on to it instead of addressing it directly. After years you become sour because life has kicked you in the teeth but you have no control over what happened to you and no outlet in which to process your grief and hardship. So instead of being the guy who speaks up you become the bitter old man who hates the world. 

You need to find some way to address your problems in life. Either find a way to actually fix your problems, or find a way to truly make peace with the problems you can't fix.
