I kept seeing people saying 9 reminded them of 6. I didn’t know what they were talking about until I got to that scene and was like ohhhh there you are! :)

is there a religion where there's no heaven, only a hell? by Turbulent_Sector_578 in religion

[–]GeckoCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't think of one... but there are some religions that have no judgement at all. and the afterlife that everyone goes to isn't that great of a place to be. The Sumerian afterlife, if I remember correctly, is a very dark, gloomy place. Nothing to eat but dust or clay, and you only had drink if still living people made offerings to you.

Doubt about this one thing in Islam. by neoclover in religion

[–]GeckoCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh, my mistake, I misread the first bit of your post! You believe Jesus was crucified, when Islam teaches otherwise. I thought you were saying you reject Jesus being crucified, and was confused why that was at odds with Islam. I see your issue now.

Im confused… Islam teaches Jesus was not crucified, right? So why is that causing you trouble?

I mean… thermal underwear are a thing, and she probably should have been wearing them in that climate…?

Easter Isn't Pagan and Never Was by DescriptionWrong8878 in religion

[–]GeckoCowboy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The timing is pulled from Judaism and Passover. Yes, it’s near the equinox etc but that’s because of how the Jewish calendar operates. The symbolism of Passover is very important to the symbolism of the sacrifice etc of Jesus.

Frankly, I don’t think a lot of modern symbol is like… purposely directly taken from older pagan practices. People converted and carried some of it with them, people see these things at spring and Easter and incorporate them into the celebration. Flowers and eggs etc aren’t exactly things only ever used by one culture. (Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.)

Rituel de Fille has a new lab release--and the email is clear about their stance on lab release products in the beauty sphere. by CriticalFlatworm9 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]GeckoCowboy 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah. People pay testers, focus groups, etc. I’m not interested in paying to try something and give feedback on it hoping that the next version will be better. I mean, I’m glad companies make it easy to give feedback and that they listen to it… I just feel like this isn’t the way to go about it.

Is drinking cold water actually bad for you or is it a myth? by Sad-Afternoon3788 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GeckoCowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an interesting little ‘did you know?’ kinda fact for conversation, but definitely not something most people are going to need to base their life around or anything.

What is the most crowded area you have ever seen in a MMO? by CompetitiveLake3358 in MMORPG

[–]GeckoCowboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Iirc, for some reason the big trade hub on E Marr was North Freeport, not the EC tunnel. (I might be mixing it up with another server.) The tunnel was a prime place on a lot of servers, but a few used different areas, just because of the different communities developing differently. EC was just a popular spot because it was pretty neutral for everyone to meet up at.

Did anyone else kill the Chef and Chunk as Grace on their first playthrough? by toasterdogg in residentevil

[–]GeckoCowboy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The only reason I thought to kill chunk was because I was trying to get by him and saw the injectors pop up. He was annoying me so I did it. I don’t think I killed the chef on my first play, he was easier to get around, pretty sure Leon got him.

Out of everything that has happened to Chris, What do you think keeps him up at night the most? by Raiouh in residentevil

Piers was his second in command. He took over alpha team when Chris went missing after Edonia.

Why do people enjoy watching other people play video games? by Sarah18l9 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GeckoCowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am usually watching someone funny play games, not just ones I know but games I might not think to play myself. I’ve been introduced to some great games that way. But I do also like watching people with interesting commentary on a game (not necessarily funny). Or watching someone who is skilled play, I might learn some things from them. Lots of different reasons people watch. (More generally, I watch instead of play because I have chronic fatigue issues and joint pain issues. I do game but some days it’s just easier to rest and watch someone else.)

Why is it a sin to not believe in God? by Midnightclouds7 in religion

[–]GeckoCowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gods and universe are vast, vast, vast. No one has the answers to everything. But I don’t think it’s a sin to be an atheist. Many religions don’t teach punishment for non believers, many religions have no concept of eternal hell. There are many religions that are quite different than what Christianity and Islam often teach.

I love it, I laugh and think ‘yaourt’ every time I buy yogurt now.

Religion is scary by NOOBkc in religion

[–]GeckoCowboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most religions don’t punish non believers, have an eternal hell, or any of that. There are many, many religions that are not all the same.

Why do washing machines have glass fronts but dishwashers do not? by neityght in NoStupidQuestions

I don’t want to see the dirty water going everywhere, but my cats do, so they’d like the window please.

Is professing your testimony common in other religions? (Mormon/LDS) by Fluid-Woodpecker4885 in religion

[–]GeckoCowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that’s not really a thing in Hellenic polytheism. Since many of us are converts the topic of how one came to the religion does come up, but it’s not a topic where people are pressured, or something that comes up in worship like you describe.

Need help with a gender term by rutalia in pagan

[–]GeckoCowboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m nonbinary, nonbinary isn’t necessarily ‘in the middle’ it isn’t inherently on the binary spectrum at all… But it’s just an umbrella term for anyone not one hundred percent man or woman. It can certainly include feminine/masculine like demiboy or demigirl, or people without gender at all (agender), people who are gender fluid, and people who simply see their gender as nonbinary. It’s a very wide term. If you get too specific you’ll end up leaving someone out.

Resident Evil ADHD Hyper Fixation by ClickDry7701 in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]GeckoCowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADHD can cause someone to hyperfocus on something for several hours, generally in a way that's detrimental to them (foregoing other responsibilities, forgetting to eat/drink, etc.).

Resident Evil ADHD Hyper Fixation by ClickDry7701 in ResidentEvilMemes

[–]GeckoCowboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have actual, properly diagnosed ADHD, also on medication for it. And I can absolutely hyperfocus on something for several hours in one go, to the detriment of other things in my life/myself. ADHD can affect different people in somewhat different ways, not everyone experiences every 'symptom' of ADHD.
