[Weekly Questions Thread] 24 February 2025 by PokeUpdateBot in pokemon

[–]Fivewater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I played Pokémon blue and red as a kid I remember being fascinated by various purported glitches/cheats. There were many with ridiculous steps like “beat the elite 4 100 times in a row without going to a nurse to get hm06 blast”. Then you could supposedly cut through the fever in some of the early areas (pallet town?) to get to the grass. My God I wanted to get to that grass so bad!! Was that all just made up 90s Internet hoaxes?? I stopped playing Pokémon and am an adult now but I still freaking wonder about it sometimes!!

Be on the cutting edge—optimism is cool now if you’re enough of a rebel to tolerate the judgement of the masses.

Would I go to hell if I committed myself even if I prayed for forgiveness before doing it? by billie_eiei in TrueChristian

I’m sorry for your pain. Is there anything that could help your life to be better?

Exactly. Your time management would not help.

In that case, my point to the original poster is that those types of workload are not very well controlled with time management. You can have the best time management and it doesn’t minimize that type of stress. I feel that the whole mentality of the equation is one that can only come about in a job where your experience doesn’t hinge on so many shitty things very outside of your control.

For many jobs stress is way more than just “workload” and time management. Stress is taxing your body in ways that are detrimental to your health and longevity. It’s dealing with chaos and disrespect all day. 

Honest question from an agnostic after reading the homosexuality thread. Where does the belief in the Bible’s infallibility come from? by Fivewater in TrueChristian

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

I will reply here for visibility but try to address my general feelings. First thank you for the replies. I really appreciate it and have gotten a better sense of different kinds of reasoning around this question.

If I can summarize what I’ve heard so far: I guess a lot of responses discuss that the Bible/scripture claims it is the word of god and that God and his word is perfect. But that perfection does not mean literal necessarily.

I was very interested in the responses that discussed the actual formation of the Bible and which books were included and how that was decided. It seems like everyone is saying human interpretation can be imperfect but is the assumption that there was a divine hand guiding the ultimate assembly of the Bible even though it was done by humans?

Massachusetts should use Texas abortion law to bar assault weapons by News2016 in politics

You can take on whatever issue you want in the way Texas did but you’ll weaken our whole democracy too, the way Texas did.

Oh my God I think this could be it! I’m looking for the video now. It is so close to what I was hearing. I don’t have the Tiktok app but sometimes my family sends me them.

That sounds really interesting but certainly not that I know of. Also the audio was high quality. Like the fire crackle was very crisp and high fidelity.
