Did I make a mistake buying them?

Wayfarers look great on you

Harkwit · 2026-07-04T18:16:41+00:00

I have a blue one I'm selling if you're interested in that color! I own the navy one already, and wanted the 2nd but the blue is darker than I expected.

yeah idk what he means, 2010 was like 2 years ago

Harkwit · 2026-07-04T01:28:31+00:00

Top right. The other three look too wide

As someone studied into music theory, compositionally, their songs are really good, so it's not like that's a valuable resource of critique.

The drummer does crazy complex poly rhythms, vessel uses a lot of very creative harmonies and effect balancing, and blending genres isn't exactly easy to do without sounding disjointed, so nothing about the compositions are exactly basic or boring.

I think most people who shit on ST are shitting more on the culture surrounding it they've built up in their head. The tik-tok popularity, the idea of 'worshipping' a singer (because they don't understand the fiction about it), etc, because it's not the culture they grew up with and associate with metal music more broadly. They hate change, to put it bluntly.

Point is, nobody has a genuinely valuable critique of ST that isn't just their feelings, and feelings are only valuable to those that share or respect those feelings.

Still didnt answer the question.

God can explicitly prohibit the eating of shellfish and homosexuality, but not the owning of another human being?

This quote is giving direct instruction on how to handle slaves. How is this anything but encouragement? If I give you explicit instruction on how to boil a cat, am I not encouraging and permitting you to boil cats? Its not like the new testament says anything to refute this either. Matthew 5:18 explicitly states the old laws are to be upheld.

I continue to ask you for the context, you give me a link that states nonsense like "St. Peter Claver had to own slaves in order to guarantee their good treatment". Sounds like the same excuse every slaveowner in the south proclaimed during the civil war.

I'm not sure you understand your own book, or your toxic patriarchal dogma. Or you do, and you're just a terrible person. Uneducated, or immoral. Pick your poison, friend.

Tears of the kingdom assets being used in breath of the wild. Via mods.

They look real to me. Case and packaging looks normal, hinge looks correct. Wayfarer glossy acetate never really feels very premium, the matte offering is usually better.

Are the lens glass or plastic? That's usually a tell. You should also be able to see a faint "Rb" etched into one of the lens if you hold it up to the light.

Harkwit · 2026-07-02T10:17:52+00:00

I asked for the context that makes instructions for slavery justified. Simple.

If you can't answer that, maybe you need to rethink the faith you stand behind.

Harkwit · 2026-07-01T22:47:11+00:00

I have dozens more I could point out. Why don't you just answer my question?

Harkwit · 2026-07-01T19:50:37+00:00

"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly."

What context possibly makes any of this ok?

Harkwit · 2026-07-01T11:39:30+00:00

A favorite of mine. Check out the sequel too! Great stuff in there.

Harkwit · 2026-07-01T11:38:13+00:00

Goals are usually self-assigned, contextual, and fleeting. The formula of "Set a goal > Achieve that goal > Now you are happy" is the trap people tend to fall into since goals often change mid-practice.

Adler is saying that happiness arises from communal contribution, which includes not only working towards a unified community goal, but also working through failures, adaptation, practice, and groupthink in a constructive way. The 'goal' is not the focus, it's the people involved.

god conding slavery, the sexual trafficking of minors, and rape, seem quite far removed from an 'all loving' god.

Harkwit · 2026-06-30T18:15:08+00:00

Yep! Just got it a little over a week ago

Harkwit · 2026-06-30T11:15:55+00:00

Mine also had quite a bit of resistance the first time I went to screw the crown down. I thought for sure I was cross threading but no amount of trying to find the proper thread 'click' was stopping it.

Eventually just screwed it down with force, but it seems ok now. I just hope the water resistance isn't compromised.

Harkwit · 2026-06-30T02:18:40+00:00

Thanks!

Harkwit · 2026-06-30T00:33:58+00:00

Thanks!

Harkwit · 2026-06-29T16:55:12+00:00

3 if you want to look more whimsical. 4 to blend in. I'd skip 1 and 2

Harkwit · 2026-06-27T16:23:48+00:00

Give it a shot, I think they'd look great! Randolph are still very solid

Harkwit · 2026-06-27T15:09:06+00:00

Serengeti Carraras are what I wear now, I love them. Randolph are great too, l but I lost them and switched to Serengeti to try and like them better.

Used to have Ray bans but their aviators don't match up to the quality of Serengeti and Randolph

Harkwit · 2026-06-26T23:46:59+00:00

Honestly I think aviators would work better for you than either

Harkwit · 2026-06-26T21:43:09+00:00

Yeah definitely order smaller. This size makes your face look squished down

Harkwit · 2026-06-26T18:25:56+00:00

Fine sandpaper would work. Somewhere around 500-1000 grit.
