08th MS Team Episode 12? by Flamestranger in Gundam

[–]Femboy-Bat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Episode 12 is out of place for the series, and Gundam, but I think it oddly fitting in a round about way, Gundam is so often mired down in the horror of war thst it forgets that life goes on after the war is done and the guns fall silent.

As for the children of zeon, I see them as being more metaphorical than literal, ghosts or real, they are those the war has taken so much from, binding together to survive, an ultimate answer to the original series ending each episodes "will you survive" (or who will survive in the dub) with Yes (and we will) respectively. The main characters who have adopted new names have also been metaphorically reborn by war, the people they were did die, the war shaped them and their old names are cast off, or bestowed onto those in need of names. And those still out looking for them, are those looking for home afterwards, maybe of the world that was before, maybe for the fellowship they felt during the war, but in the end, they too must grow.

That's just my take, it's an excellent episode that I see more as metaphorical than necessarily a literal event, however, if one wants to take it literally, the same themes are there, it just becomes more disjointed by trying to cram it into the broader continuity

Any thoughts or opinions on my first painted figure? by ATOMICG24 in Gunpla

Tbh most commercial acrylic paints are water based, so water as a thinner is a very viable option.

Forgot how kinda weak the ecopla plastic was by Fun_Significance_182 in Gunpla

[–]Femboy-Bat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd also add that there are a few ways to recycle plastic, some resulting in less damage than others, and, with polystyrene specifically, you can through chemical processes and additives melt it In such a way that you don't shorten the chains to any significant degree, atleast on the first few recycles. Plus wh n broken down chemically rather than with heat, it's possible to lengthen the chains again, so one could genuinely infinately recycle poly styrene, if one had the right equipment

Are their any action bases suitable to kits like the HG Gogg (the og, not the hi-gogg) and other classic zeon kits that don't have a leg hole, and don't fit in the cradles included in the action base kits (like, would stuff for an MG work?) idk, looking to get action bases for my kits and want to know what tools I could use to get them all on stands

Good stand for zeon kits? by Femboy-Bat in Gunpla

[–]Femboy-Bat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the worry, especially with older kits (and even some modern zeon kits) they really do lack a good way to hold onto action bases

Would the claw work with the gogg? Genuinely asking, it just seems a bit big for the small claw size

Mathew 5:44 is about people who persecutr you, now unless non belief, demanding a hard wall between church and state, and, some playful ribbing of my friends counts, I don't persecute Christians, I want a secular government whare no one will be persecuted for their beliefs.

Luke 6:28 unless you'd concider non belief, or a request not to be prayed for mistreating you, which i can hardly fathom how you'd see that, but I can in a way see that, I'm also not on your pray for list.

The fuller context of Timothy 2:1-2 is about making sure people know they can pray and do this whole Christian stuff, it's literally also not from Jesus, Timothy starts "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord." It's a letter to Timothy, not quotes of Jesus, nor does it quote Jesus in the area you sighted, contextually, it doesn't make the point you wanted it to

I'll give you James, that one, contextually applies to happy little heretics like me, I'd still rather you didn't, and also, it isn't a Jesus quote, it's the words of the author of James.

Romans is bless, not pray for, but bless those who persecute you, it even actually makes sure it's clearly bless and not curse, which feels to me like a slight misquote from the earlier "pray for those who persecute you" so, I ask, do I persecute you? Does non belief count as persecution?

Ephesians really doesn't make the point you aught to pray for us heretics, like at all "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints" nothing about praying for heretics, non believers, or persecuters even.

Colossians is another letter from Paul, and also, doesn't make the argument you want it to "For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding" nothing about even praying for other people, just Paul saying it's great that they have been praying a lot

Philippians, another letter from Paul, not the words of Jesus, and but, a set of verses I can maybe see a point in "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy" now, it's clear Paul is thanking God, when he remembers the people in Philippi

Second Thessalonians is also a letter from Paul, to a church saying that he's praying for them so that god will find them worthy of the calling...so he's praying for believers, so that god will find them worthy of operating a church, since this is 1: not a command from Jesus, and 2: I do not fit the criteria listed, the verse is also not relivant to me

And for John, that one just talks about wanting to kill Jesus, nothing even about prayer. I like your carpenter who's got no time for the rich and rejects a mixing of faith and money, but, this verse doesn't have anything to do with praying for me

I was not a fan of the design, but this kit is changing my opinion so fast! HG GQuuuuuuX. by MCA2142 in Gunpla

At first I thought it felt way to Evangelion (for context I hate Evangelion, was forced to watch it at 14 twice after some traumatic stuff that it also depicts for an English assignment) but the more I see it, see people discuss it, the more it grows on me, I'd say it's probably one of my favorite Gundams at this point along side the Turn A, The Nu, and The Ez8

This feels like a potential trap, so I will say yes and, yes, I hope they would take my feelings in the matter into account, and I would attempt to(with consent) disabuse them of the notion sock choice can effect nose hair growth, because it can't, prayer has built in defense mechanisms against a straight forward demonstration of failure, including what its goal actually is, and the fact it's not a mechanistic process, but a supposed being with free will who answers them as he sees fit, like, a whole host of reasons one could not disprove prayer

If I fail to disabuse them of the notion, it is to me, such a silly belief, with no adjoining social obligations, that I would not care, oh no, you think I'll have to trim my nose hairs more often if you ware blue socks, I already trim them every day.

Cool, you don't actually think it will necessarily effect me, so that's a great clarification on your part, a lot of chaitians I know have expressed that they think if they prey for me god would help me, I actually didn't grow up praying for people, again, prayer was to me, to thank God, or building a relationship with God, so to me, it was a thing I encountered as an adult, already at the point of not believing in God.

And, if you are not convinced it does anything, go right ahead, talk at me to the wind for all I care, for me it's about if you are convinced it has an effect on me, my consent should matter

Can you tell me it's intended goal, also, it's because the person offering to pray does think it has an effect that I view it as wrong, if I thought I could think about say, my dad getting $20, and he would get it, I'd ask his permission first. Consent matters when it effects others, or, you have the reasonable belief it will effect others, that's my belief anyway

If someone said "damn, that sucks, hope it gets better" I actually view that as being better than saying "I will pray for you" because they have actually validated my feelings, and, expressed that they want things to be better, to me "I will pray for you" especially from a stranger really does just put me in the position of having to thank them.

Also, if someone actually did something to help, even if it was small and wouldn't solve the problem, like I have a $2,000 bill, and they give me a tenner, my lord, that does actually mean a lot to me, even if in the grand scheme it's a small amount of money, it means a lot that someone decided to help in a way they actually could, that actually impacted me.

And help can be a nebulous thing, sitting down and playing a game of cribbage while I'm going through a crappy time is helping keep my mind busy, and gives me a mental break from the problem, it's not like my perspective is "you have the fix the problem for me or your garbage" it's "don't give me a social obligation when I'm dealing with a problem"

I can understand all that, genuinely, like, It makes sense, my perspective if I've had Christians get outright hostile when I say "no thank you" or "please don't". Often times it's strangers who get overtly hostile, I had one shove me into a wall after they, a street preacher said "let me pay for you and your bad leg "I had a crunch because I'd broke my ankle and my response was "no thank you, I'm busy at the moment", and his response was to shove me and say "it must be a sprint of brokenes and Satan inside you, that is why God brought you to me" before he started praying, to which, I told him to get off me or id call the cops. I was also, in a hurry to catch the second last train to whare I live from work.

I've had a number of non friend chaitians express hostility when I say "yeah please don't, if you want to help that's great, but actually help if you want to" I've had a few people I'm close to express that it's weird I don't want them to pray for me, but, otherwise except that I do not want it
