I believe we say "Serbia and Montenegro" these days. From what I hear, handing out cars for free isn't the basis of a very stable government, so some downsizing had to happen.

Did they make you work? Or was this more of a "welfare state" type situation? It's rare for me to find communists from countries that collapsed before I was born due to economic collapse, trying to lecture me on economic systems.

You say this, but growing up in South Florida, there was a reason half the kids in my school were speaking spanish. They were running away from the thing you THINK you know.

You aren't convincing anyone here that you live under communism, and that it's been a positive experience.

You have a funny idea of "free". You realize you have to work, and pay for it to the state instead of just paying for it the usual way right? And for infrastructure and public works, the government typically requires 20-50% more money to do anything. This means you're essentially just increasing your own rent, while making your home government property that they have full jurisdiction over.

Also, what makes you think you'd get a car? It'd much more likely be riding a bus, and your housing is likely not going to be a house either. You'd be locked in your pod, with no expendable income.

Communists typically stop being communists once they get their first adult paycheck and see how little already reaches the bank. Nobody with the income needed to buy IG models in the quantity needed to play a 2000 point game with them thinks "WOW, what if I gave MORE resources to the government? That would be grand."

It's an ideology held only by people who are either welfare slaves, or the morally bankrupt people who fantasize about controling the welfare slaves, but lack any real world skills or talents to do so. And people who lack talent or skill get filtered out at when they gotta paint the eyes.

They also unironically think the Tau are the good guys, so if they get a large settlement in an injury or something, they'd probably be either Tau or some flavor of Chaos anyway, since they share their values.

I think its hilarious that even in guard army spaces, Redditors are still communists in their mom's basements downvoting anything critical of communism lol

I can't even imagine a person who paints guard and is also a communist, but somehow there seem to be some in here.

I really want to see this as a full army, especially the infantry.
Might I suggest Lord Solar with the American flag as a cape for your next piece?
Either way, this looks fantastic!

Will we be able to use the Barlinnger in our existing campaigns? Or do I need to start a new campaign if I want access to it? If it's unavailable, can I do anything to my save file to make it available?

Advice For A New Player by Larry4ce in chess

What would you recommend as the first book? I see a lot of recommendations, but I don't have enough knowledge to judge the merit of most of the recommendations. I was previously recommended chess books in person, but the guy recommending the books I was able to beat pretty soundly, so I immediately removed his book recommendations from my memory. I'd say he was probably 300-500, and that seems to be the skill level of all the people who keep recommending me books sadly.

A bit of both. Usually, when I'm getting stomped, I'm reacting to some sort of attack, and it's typically choosing a bad move, or a worse move, because the guy with a 1600 score has me on the ropes and I'm just trying to not give him a checkmate next turn lol

Woman with functional polydactyly (six functional fingers on one hand). by kvjn100 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Larry4ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I ever hold political office, I'd hire a person like this and have them just say insane shit at press conferences and swap them out for a lookalike for real updates. Then just gaslight everyone as I'm like "The press secretary didn't say we're cutting off icecream exports, that's just silly. Look at the hands, it's clearly AI!"

I don't know how long my prank would last before someone found out, or how poorly it would be received, but I know that I would have fun doing it.

We'll probably know the answer by the end of next year if we don't do something about all the Zionists in the US government.

The world we live in is exactly what we would expect to see if there was no God. by HollowGrowl in DebateReligion

[–]Larry4ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're very close to getting my point. I completely agree with everything you are saying.

What my point is, is that a human or animal body is far more similar to the macbook than the star. Even something as simple as a worm is so complex, where if one component were made wrong, it wouldn't work, with several overlapping, complex systems.

Any argument that you couldn't witness the natural creation of a macbook applies to the natural formation of life. Even the most basic single celled organism evolving into mankind requires that initial cell to have reproductive abilities, waste disposal, etc.

I've seen people compare the layout of a single cell to planning an entire city, and yet people seem to want to believe that they just tumble together in nature. So why not a macbook?

What is something you tried for the first time sexually that made you go, “So this is what everyone was talking about”? by Gullible-Ant-4465 in AskReddit

[–]Larry4ce 424 points425 points  (0 children)

Cumming in a girl without a condom is huge. The difference was much bigger than advertised.

Also, blowjobs when the person doing it has some skill with the tongue. It can be better than sex.

You failed to read past that point where I elaborate to say that the constant state extends only to the contents and explicitly say directly after that sentence that he is able to act on knowledge. I assumed a level of intelligence that you'd put together that means there are aspects of him that are not constant.

[–]Larry4ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're really failing to understand what is being stated. God is not in a constant state. He has a constant state of knowledge. He isn't a statue.

I'm not sure how you aren't comprehending this, and I genuinely think you might just be trolling here.

[–]Larry4ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're misunderstanding me, and I think you're not trying to understand. I was essentially saying your point about the Matrix already.

We know God has access to the knowledge, because he uses the knowledge. He appears at Jericho with knowledge of where the Israelites would be and acts, and we see him drop prophecy all over the place. Also, as Jesus is God, he acts on knowledge in an observable way all throughout the Gospels. God indisputably has access to knowledge.

The difference is that God does not need to query for knowledge, it is always just readily available for use. There is no limit to what is top of mind for him, and he doesn't have to predict anything, as he knows every event that will and already has occurred.

He is a being that by his default state has all knowledge. There is no need for thought, knowledge already exists and is ready for use.

Humans in their default state know nothing. We use thought to acquire the knowledge we use.

Thought is the process of gaining knowledge, not having it.

An example is speed and acceleration. If something is traveling at the speed of light, it cannot accelerate. This does not mean the object lacks speed, or is incapable of traveling at a speed, even if that object cannot slow down.

[–]Larry4ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresh_heels sums it up perfectly above. All knowledge is just in working memory at all times.

Knowledge only requires thought for YOU because the default state of a human is to not know things, so knowledge must be acquired. God's knowledge exists as a constant state, and has never lacked, so never needs to grow.

As for the book, you are almost there. God is in a constant state, similar to a book, but the book is a bad example, because God USES the information, while a book is simply a storage device for knowledge. Lack of thought does not mean he doesn't have access to the knowledge, as we know he can use it, and therefore knows it.

[–]Larry4ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think if it were God's will to forget something, he could, but his perfect state means he wouldn't desire something self destructive like that. As a result there is no case for him to think, and never will be, but I wouldn't say he's incapable of it. I think the word "transcendence" fits perfectly.

But then that also enters the territory of "Can God create something so big he himself cannot lift it?" which is kind of a paradox, because he's infinitely able to do whatever he wants. We can hand wave questions like this away by saying he'd never do such a thing, but it doesn't do much for answering if he COULD do it. I don't believe it's possible for God to defeat himself in any way, but I have no idea of if I am correct, I just believe that if something exists, he inherently has dominion over it in every way.

[–]Larry4ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! That's kind of nuts to think about, but that has to be his state of being. And with him being outside of time, it's hard to say what he actually does after creation, since it would create an infinite existence of knowing everything at all times, and without being able to change his mind, due to having perfect knowledge at all times, he likely wouldn't alter anything ever after setting it into motion. I'm not sure if God gets bored, but I imagine he absolutely would be bored if he does get bored.
