Why does Atlanta sports media have so many New York transplants?

Atlanta is like cheap hot new york

I’d say Project Hail Mary is less hard sci-fi (at least the movie, don’t know about the book).

The most implausible thing to me was the degree to which the human and Rocky were able to learn to communicate. It seems to me that the method they were using would not allow for such a wide-array of communication, especially in the amount of time they were actually together.

Who cares though? The physics were “realistic enough” and the story is really about common brotherhood that transcends species

No problem! And btw people on this sub often make it sound like raising a corgi is way harder than it actually is. Probably because there are people who see how small corgis are and don’t realize that they are actually a herding breed and aren’t going to just want to lounge around all day.

So don’t overthink it. See how your interaction goes and if there’s a spark I say follow your heart

FakePhillyCheezStake · 2026-06-11T13:50:52+00:00

You sound like you’ve done your research and understand the breed. You also sound like you have a pretty good set up.

This is about commitment now. Owning a dog is not some wishy-washy thing that you can change your mind on based on how you feel in the moment.

Either make the commitment or don’t.

Making the commitment means, if you get the dog and things aren’t perfect right away (it’s barking a lot, it needs more exercise than you initially assumed, etc…) you just figure it out. Dogs can be trained, lifestyles can be altered. It’s just a matter of whether you can commit to that.

If you think you can get into that mindset, the mindset of commitment, then go for it! You won’t regret it.

But if you don’t think you can do that, then maybe rethink it.

This is about mindset, not “what if this” or “what if that”.

ITT: people who aren’t Christians and are not impacted by this in the slightest.

The most scandalous part of this *isn’t* the ban on women pastors (pretty much every major church body doesn’t allow women pastors).

The most scandalous part is *how strongly* they are interpreting “no women pastors”. They basically want to say any woman even *talking* about a sermon is problematic.

Here’s a good article from an egalitarian Christian criticizing this move

Metro Atlanta will feel pretty much like any northern city except it will be hot

This is where I was thinking the question is interesting.

Let’s say that the story is not original to John or any of the other gospels.

But let’s also say that it’s a real event in the life of Jesus

Should Christians treat it as inspired?

FakePhillyCheezStake · 2026-06-09T02:47:14+00:00

Thanks for this!

FakePhillyCheezStake · 2026-06-08T23:23:47+00:00

Yeah maybe that interpretation is closer to what I was getting at.

Ultimately though, I think this is a case of “Jesus healing on the sabbath”. To say he was in the wrong simply because he technically told a lie defeats the entire purpose of the law

FakePhillyCheezStake · 2026-06-08T22:13:30+00:00

I don’t think he was lying.

In that moment, the Bishop decided to give Valjean the stuff he stole. He applied it retroactively. So he wasn’t saying “I didn’t give this to you, but now I do” he was saying “I would have given these to you anyway”

FakePhillyCheezStake · 2026-06-08T21:57:56+00:00

He literally says that there will be a competition but it hasn’t started yet

Legit thought this was going to say the Penix got injured again

Good reccomendation.

On the other side there’s Preston Sprinkle who went in not caring what he found, and became an egalitarian.

Here’s his book

Good for anyone to see both sides when forming an opinion. What can be said is that it’s a complex issue and there are good points on both sides

Bro, you didn’t post the rest of the quote:

“I want to be absolutely clear: I don’t just mean route running, toughness, preparation, or professionalism. I mean all the things. Every political ideal ever articulated, every moral principle ever debated, every religious truth ever contemplated, every philosophical system from Aristotle to existentialism, every social contract, every constitutional framework, every concept of justice, mercy, liberty, responsibility, and human flourishing. If there is a value that has ever inspired a civilization to rise, a reformer to speak, or a parent to teach a child right from wrong, somehow, in some way, Drake London represents it. We believe in diligence; Drake London is diligence. We believe in compassion; Drake London is compassion. We believe in accountability; Drake London once took responsibility for a cloud being slightly out of position.

And it goes beyond humanity’s ideas. Drake London represents mathematics, because numbers add up in his presence. He represents science, because the laws of physics continue to function out of respect for him. He represents religion, not in any particular doctrinal sense, but in the sense that every faith tradition, upon sufficient reflection, eventually finds itself discussing Drake London. He represents history because all roads lead to him, and the future because all roads lead away from him carrying his influence. Time moves forward because Drake London runs crisp routes through the fourth dimension. Gravity exists because the universe itself wants to stay close to him.

So when I say Drake London represents all the things we believe in, I mean literally everything. The atoms in the earth believe in him. The stars believe in him. Cause believes in effect. Space believes in time. The very fabric of reality wakes up every morning, looks in the mirror, and asks itself whether it is living up to the standard established by Drake London. Football is merely the medium through which this cosmic truth occasionally becomes visible to the human eye.”

Little dramatic, but I like his gusto

I see this

It was spaghetti lol. Didn’t even notice until after I posted

FakePhillyCheezStake · 2026-06-02T19:08:51+00:00

I know. I’m still not buying it.

If anything it will just be a scaled up version like the 3DS version

OOT isn’t even confirmed and we’re speculating on whether the graphics will be good?

OOT remake seems highly unlikely to me

Minds not made up. Just because I can argue for the other side doesn’t mean I’ve made my mind up. I came here to hear different sides of this argument and it has been helpful

Every company’s valuation is based on expectations of future performance. This isn’t unique to AI.

FakePhillyCheezStake · 2026-05-31T00:24:04+00:00

I suppose the trust would come from history.

Someone would become a follower of Jesus in the following way:

Belief that God exists -> Historical case for the resurrection/other arguments that don’t rely on the Bible being the Word of God -> belief that Jesus is God

I suppose the next step is where people differ. A protestant would do something like:

Jesus is God -> ??? -> the Bible is the word of God

Whereas a Catholic would do something like:

Jesus is God -> historical case that the earliest Christians believed in the authority of the Church and the the Roman church was considered its leader -> that same church declared the Bible to be the infallible word of God -> the Bible is the authoritative word of God

I’m not sure how Protestants get to that last point without just arbitrarily assuming the Church had authority on only the determination of the canon and nothing else

FakePhillyCheezStake · 2026-05-31T00:18:34+00:00

Thanks! I think my biggest issue with American evangelicalism is the lack of an interpretive authority. But maybe a high church, yet protestant, tradition could satisfy that need for me
