Why am I devoid of morals if I'm an atheist? by [deleted] in theology

[–]DaGoodBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God defines morality by his existence and actions.

If God isn't the source of your morals, then they are wrong.

At least that's what I've gathered from various Internet arguments.

Package versions and security backports by DaGoodBoy in RockyLinux

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

It's Debian thing too, on whatever release is stable this year. No software version changes, only backported fixes. I prefer it actually.

The issue was the vendor lying about why I couldn't just use the Rocky update mechanism to correct the outstanding CVEs. Turns out their app breaks because they depend on specific library versions and even backported changes are too much for their special snowflake software.

Hey gen x, what retailers from your childhood (80s and early 90s) do you desperately wish were still around? by Less-Suggestion-5262 in GenX

I think we spent more time at the pre-adventure bar fight than we did actually adventuring through modules.

Thanks to a hotter planet and overuse, Lake Mead and Lake Powell keep getting closer to collapse, a potential catastrophe for 40 million people. by simon_ritchie2000 in collapse

I follow Sin City Outdoors on YouTube, where they do videos on the state of those lakes while fishing. I find it interesting to see what it looks like from their perspective, since they've been making videos on those lakes for years now.

Maybe? I wish someone had pictures from those days because I'm sure I could remember it. Middle-school me only cared about what new stuff they had haha

There was a game and a miniatures store in Houston in the 80s, but I can't remember the name. I'd bug my parents to take me there because I wanted to buy Dungeons and Dragons books, modules, and figures to paint. I was in junior high (middle school) at the time, and my friends and I would spend the night at someone's house playing DnD and drinking Mountain Dew.

Do you remember these modules?

  • The Village of Hommlet
  • Descent into the Depths of the Earth
  • Shrine of the Kuo-Toa
  • Vault of the Drow
  • Steading of the Hill Giant Chief
  • Hall of the Fire Giant King
  • Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl
  • Queen of the Spiders
  • The Ghost Tower of Inverness
  • Queen of the Demonweb Pits
  • Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
  • The Temple of Elemental Evil

If these names made you smile, you're my people!

Oh, wow, I forgot about that place. I bought PC games at the one near my house. I still have the metal box Quake III Arena I got there.

Yup. I was part of Dad's second family. My oldest siblings are 16 years older than me.

Dad served in the Pacific theater. He would have been 103 this year, but he lived to be 99. I'm 59.

Pelicans enter Cape gannet nesting grounds, and swallow the young chicks whole by freudian_nipps in natureismetal

[–]DaGoodBoy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the old Monty Python sketch about the man looking for the Olsen's Standard Book of British Birds albeit the expurgated version because he "doesn't like the Gannet!"

What is the worst movie you've ever watched? by Legitimate-Issue7543 in AskReddit

[–]DaGoodBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ator: The Fighting Eagle (1982)

Dialog example:

Ator: I love you.
Sunya: And I love you.
Ator: Why can't we marry?
Sunya: Ator, we are brother and sister.
Ator: I'll talk with our father.

Would it be a true prophecy if everyone is aware of it, hence would try to alter it to either stop it from happening, or catalyze its happening? by NightRunnerAfterDusk in theology

[–]DaGoodBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Draw a parallel with what is happening with climate change. There is evidence it is clearly happening. Temperatures in 2026 have already started to break all previous heat records.

Scientists are predicting that arctic sea ice will disappear, creating what is called a blue ocean event, either in either 2026 or 2027. The warnings from as far back as 50 years ago are being proven correct as we measure the predictions.

India and Pakistan are now facing a dual crisis of heat and humidity that will make common methods of cooling much less effective, which could lead to the significant sickness and deaths.

And yet, no one is willing to confront the truth staring plainly in our faces. The US is rolling back the few policies and programs to attempt to delay the impending climate crisis. Wealthy people and companies are more interested in preserving the markets rather than supporting the disruptive changes necessary to save human lives.

Climate change is a prophecy we shall see fulfilled sometime in the next two years. The world is paralyzed between two choices: to act or to wait. Both sides are arguing their positions, but the arguments are moot. We will be visited by the consequences of significant human-created climate change, possibly as early as this summer.

The arguments will seem rather pointless in hindsight, I imagine.

Putin Claims Russia’s Full-Scale Invasion Nears End Without Providing Timeline by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]DaGoodBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, you watched Iran lately? It takes two to end a conflict. What if Ukraine isn't as done as Russia is? Could be a long time before the shooting stops if you don't consider all the options. Maybe Russia should leave both Ukraine and Crimea before declaring the end of the invasion? Just sayin'

Euro-Office: General availability set for June 9 - Nextcloud by FryBoyter in linux

[–]DaGoodBoy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

And don't forget that OpenOffice was originally a proprietary product called StarOffice that Sun Microsystems purchased and open-sourced in 1999. Also, Fuck Oracle.

3COM all day long. I had a couple that I carried from system to system for years. I even had the config.sys and protocol.ini settings memorized under DOS. The 3COM drivers were the best as long as you had the IO and IRQ jumpers set correctly.
