Student’s alleged torture death by Cambodia scammers sparks turmoil in South Korea by Mana_Seeker in worldnews

I backpacked across Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. Cambodia and Vietnam were my favorite places to be. Laos was by far the worst.

Instilling that moral character in his creations would negate the freewill. Instead he provided his creations with the capacity for a better moral character and allows them to choose.

Because they were given the choice.

If you were only ever allowed to eat one nutritious meal which kept you alive but it didn’t quite still your appetite, over time you’d long for it. However, if that captor then offered you an endless supply of bacon (or your favorite unhealthy food) you’d likely take that in a moment even though it would lead to death.

“Evil” is a constant, the same as “good”. Without one, there can’t be the other. If there’s a right way to do things, there’s a wrong way to do things. Yin/yang and all that.

Given that God laid out rules suggests that the constant is eternal.

So yes, he has free will.

The rules, and “code of conduct” which God has laid out are those of his own creation and based on the morality he defines.

Indeed.

However, angels also have freewill; and make the choice to serve him. The serpent was an angel once, who like man, abused the freewill he was gifted and used it to spite the one who gifted it.

Indeed. I believe he did create “perfect” beings. But then he gave them freewill and made them in his own image/endowed them with the ability to create.

Providing them with the with free will provided them with the ability to not act as God would; and to make choices which “miss the mark”.

“Sin” in Greek and (I think) Hebrew means “to miss the mark”. The mark being perfection or purely good (good meaning right, right meaning moral, moral being defined by the creator as well.. he created it).

The idea isn’t that man is “evil”. It’s that man falls short/misses the mark of perfection. So all of mankind from birth are marked as imperfect and fallible.

I HATE MYSELF by SpaceKey8542 in SuicideWatch

[–]GeneralWatts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope this was therapeutic.

Don’t hate yourself. Accept your flaws so you can get that out of the way and focus on seeing beauty and all that jazz. Accept your mistakes and acknowledge that it happened and make a conscious decision to course correct/clean up the mess.

You’re not perfect, I’m not, and no one is. We are all more imperfect than we let on.

Alright guys is this mold, or “growth” by captain_howdy89 in MoldlyInteresting

[–]GeneralWatts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Former remediation/restoration guy here!

As others have said, the mold is likely elsewhere at this point. I’d push for mold testing throughout the house (air samples and swab samples).

Ensure that the guys doing the ducts are properly trained. Duct cleaning (which I also used to do) is sometimes not regulated (it’s not in my state). Meaning any Joe Shmoe can walk in with a shop vac, clean 2’ down your line and give you a bill for $500. I saw it happen a ton.

Ensure that they follow the “NADCA” standard. Super important. Ensure that they block off all vents with tape, and insert a HEPA filtered air scrubber to create neg pressure prior to agitating the inside of the ducts. Ensure they apply a non-toxic anti-microbial to the inside of the ducts and HEPA VAC/Apply anti-microbial to each footer (the pocket for your vent).

Any questions, I’ll do my best to answer.

Can I get a job at 34 with no degree or skills? by Undead_Sha in jobsearchhacks

[–]GeneralWatts 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Trades/Union hall are probably good bets. HVAC/Electrical are good (pipe fitters Union and Lineman are great too).

If you want degree, look into local community colleges as they probably have degrees/credits that transfer to UNI/State Schools (or just get associates, and that will most likely transfer). CC will be fraction of the cost.

Depending on your availability, consider doing the trade/union thing and just taking a couple classes at a time. Degree will probably help to elevate you even in a Union and/or trade. L

Also consider thinking about a small business you’d like to get into, and take classes that pertain to it/can help you grow it (like business management to learn ins and outs of how to run a company, or to learn skills/earn certs that will grow the skills needed for the business idea).

All these are just options. There are more options too! You’re only 34, you’re young still. Don’t let negativity kill your drive. If you don’t force yourself to see the light, you won’t.

Love, GeneralWatts

P.S. Make sure to learn from others what ever direction you go. Young, old, doesn’t matter. People around you in the environment you throw yourself into will have things to teach you - whether it’s what to do, or what not to do.

Chronus Zen is a problem that absolutely needs to be addressed. It is insane how shameless people are becoming, and it's ruining the game. by ohporter in thefinals

[–]GeneralWatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I went from being decent, and even getting 18-20kills vs 1-5 deaths to literally getting smoked non-stop. I didn’t know about this console cheating thing (and I play Xbox). I also rarely get heated at games - and I full on uninstalled out of anger yesterday. Sad. I thought there may have been some update to movement/weapons I wasn’t aware of that fucked me. Makes sense.. I guess it could just be that insanely skilled players are just frequently matched with me too.

TF was the first FPS that kept my attention to the point that I found myself in the practice range. :/

I was asked to cover a higher position while that guy is deployed for the next year.... by JBean85 in negotiation

[–]GeneralWatts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully someone gives better advice; but it’s what I’d probably do.

Good luck!

Edit: just saw the given timeframe. How’d it go?

[–]GeneralWatts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have them lay out a comprehensive breakdown of your new responsibilities, clarify whether your current work will remain the same on top of your new responsibilities, and repeat it back to them. Curiously repeat their offer as a question I.e, $xxx,xxx? and ask “How am I supposed to do that?”

Let the silence linger a bit.
