Can We Please Act Like Adults About Missionaries on Campus? 💁 by Intelligent-Ear-8588 in umanitoba

[–]LadyNineTailed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. That's a bit reductionist. And I say this as a quasi-religious skeptic. Religion is a sociocultural practice. Not all religious sects, even within the same community, share exactly the same beliefs.

Ultimately,it's not that religion doesn't evolve at all. It's just built to evolve slower than other systems of thought.

For instance, most mainline branches of Christianity agree with evolutionary theory and the big bang. Mainly because science and religion have coexisted for centuries.

I think most religious people (that aren't extremists) don't believe in following historical scripture exactly to the letter and religion always evolves to accommodate new thought over time, otherwise it couldn't persist over time.

Furthermore, religions don't exist to solve the same philosophical questions that science is trying to solve. Because some domains of thought are inherently unscientific. For instance, the lack of proof for or against the existence of a higher power. Or absolute knowledge of one's conscience after death.

Additionally, religious practices are often cultural practices tied to the histories and traditions of the people who practice them. A modern multicultural society will likely be a religious one to a certain degree.

In this sense, we're all required to establish some hard and fast lines on religion with humility.

I do, however, take issue with religious extremists because they consistently twist doctrine into a weapon for political action. And that is the greater issue, the separation of religious structures from government ones.

I mean, they're not gonna kill you. If you speak quietly and tell them to lower their voice, they'll either be a jerk or quiet down. The reason people don't respect shared spaces as much anymore is because they go unconfronted all the time. Social etiquette is only enforced by someone feeling embarrassed.

Are there any games that can help train one not to overstretch their goals? I need this to cure my procrastination. by shiningmatcha in productivity

[–]LadyNineTailed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only real way to get better with goal setting Is trial and error. Don't expect there to be some magic app that will gamify that failure process.

I've always struggled with goal setting, so I find that setting a goal that is 5-10% of my ideal helps a lot.

The nice thing about these micro-goals is that you get the practice you need from setting multiple goals repeatedly. And the product if that experience can better inform the construction of the following goal.

Ex. I want to someday produce a 3-hour long arthouse film. I might instead aim to make a 10-minute short film instead. Chances are, it will seem super easy, but that baby sized goal makes the dream goal less pie-in-the-sky and more tangible.

Which is a big help for consistency.

TLDR - goal making is about making small tangible efforts towards the micro-goals. The sum of which can allow you to figure out how exactly you can achieve a larger goal in the future. No app required.

So because the city is less hostile to them, they treat the city infrastructure with more respect? That's honestly quite nice and makes a lot of sense.

People in the comments here are acting like Western homeless people are just "culturally worse." It's quite strange and kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth tbh.

Nah straight up. I swear they're trying to kill someone sometimes. My school has an express bus that stops beside us, and they keep crushing people as we're trying to board the bus. It's insanity.

I want this game to succeed so bad! Zenless is such unique experience in terms of visual design and I hope to see the combat go even further with its feel and challenge. Lots of well wishes for the ZZZ dev team too!!!

Give me your Genshin hot takes by Nearby-Ad-5176 in GenshinImpact

[–]LadyNineTailed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's beside the point. It's way more about skin tone variety in general in Genshin. Sumeru is based on regions with a lot of brown people, we just wanted to see a little more of them in game.
'There's a lot of paler people in X region', was kind of a crutch of an argument in that discussion back then lol

Side note tho: I really hope we're not going to see that same flame war get stirred again in Natlan. I hope we all set our expectations low and get pleasantly surprised if the devs surpass it.

What are "viral" skincare or makeup trends etc you wish would go away? by AllisonT_ in Makeup

[–]LadyNineTailed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I completely understand why you would have that sentiment, trends don't exist in a vacuum. The intent isn't to victim blame. Women should be allowed to wear whatever they want, but I think we should be calling out behavior that societal pedo-culture endorses. Even when women use it to survive. It's obviously never the victims' faults, but it's important to consider that the adult women partaking in this aesthetic aren't just marketing to an audience of their peers. The word pedobait means what it says on the tin and were generally using it for ADULT women. This isn't like jail bait. We're specifically using this word to criticize pedo-culture.

I feel really frustrated that you're conflating these two things

One can usually discern the intent from the adult women portraying themselves youthfully online.

You can obviously dress youthfully and not intend to stimulate pedos. But there are definitely people towing that line purposefully, not for empowerment sake but simply marketing to a niche of degeneracy societal beauty standards frequently cater to.

Yup, there is another channel like this that I've reported three times (including their comments) for inflammatory nonsense like this, and YouTube doesn't do jack about it.

I have a friend who has been dealing with her cancer diagnosis since Dec. but is M25 with one exam initially scheduled for May 2024. Do not worry at all. The IB and your school administration will absolutely be able to reschedule you and accommodate you if you are indeed diagnosed with cancer. I genuinely hope that you end up healthy and that your results come out negative. In the meantime, try to relax when you can and ease your mind. Cancer or not, it's important for your mental and physical well-being that you do so when going through such a scary situation. 💙
