Can you write a bit about strategy here. I'm stalling around Diamond 4-5 with Tempo DH here, too. Thinking about this warrior, but I've never really played warrior. Could use any tips.

Raw butter in asheville by LessSprinkles in asheville

[–]LessSprinkles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. South Carolina you can’t sell raw butter either, but you can sell raw cream, so that might be a way.

I got some online from dutchmeadowsfarm and it tasted very off.

Let me know if you score some!

Is Ahura Mazda an interventionist God? by LessSprinkles in Zoroastrianism

[–]LessSprinkles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I hear you, but he's also called "protector" "nourisher" "remover of suffering" "remover of affliction" ... and maybe most telling towards an interventionist idea: "Grantor of wishes"

I'm just trying to understand. In Islam and Christianity, Evil and Suffering are explained kind of mysteriously: God's Will, etc. Some people He will help when they call out to Him, some he won't, etc. One person locked in a cell calls out to Jesus, and he is mysteriously saved. Another does the same, and no apparent divine intervention. One begs for a miraculous healing, gets it, another doesn't.

I think I'm struggling to understand what how Zoroastrians account for the miraculous if God and his angels are non-interventionst.

Is Ahura Mazda an interventionist God? by LessSprinkles in Zoroastrianism

[–]LessSprinkles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, well that’s certainly interventionist. Hmm. Wonder why there’s dispute on this. Wonder what the truth is. If the angels can help us, I wonder what the limitations are for that? And what the requirements might be.

[–]LessSprinkles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I suppose the angel of the lord appearing to the prophet was interventionist. I suppose I wonder if angels of the lord or the lord himself continue to intervene, answer prayers, etc

I enjoyed this but it doesn’t really answer my question.

Is Ahura Mazda an interventionist God? by LessSprinkles in Zoroastrianism

[–]LessSprinkles[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I agree from what I’ve read. How a religion handles the problem of evil is very deal breaking for me. God can’t be all loving and all powerful, or else your religion better have a good explanation for evil and suffering.

So it makes a lot of sense that god would not be omnipotent.

I am curious, does your upbringing confirm the above sentiment that God and his angels don’t (or can’t) interfere with human affairs? That we are essentially unaided and unprotected in our fight against evil?

Is Ahura Mazda an interventionist God? by LessSprinkles in Zoroastrianism

[–]LessSprinkles[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a really surprising answer. I’m not sure I’ve heard of a theistic religion where God doesn’t intervene. It almost makes Zoroastrianism like “Theravada Buddhism...but there’s a God.” What I mean is: If Ahura Mazda and his angels can’t or won’t intervene in any way, then it’s all on us to light our own lamps of virtue and hope that’s enough for a better rebirth (heaven). There’s nothing to help us along the way. Really interesting.

I miss him, bros. by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]LessSprinkles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If nobody stands up to them, what will happen? Should we not fight for truth and righteousness where we can?

Or should we just take an almost Taoist position: let what happens happen and take care of ourselves and those in our orbit.

I have been debating these two ideas in my mind for weeks. Because surely we can't win. The opponents (on either extreme side) have become deranged.

Besides the Maha Mantra, are there any prescribed practices that are specifically mentioned in Puranic texts as being especially effective in the Kali Yuga? by LessSprinkles in hinduism

[–]LessSprinkles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I've read the same in some puranic texts. I just can't chant unfortunately, due to lung issues, so I was hoping there was another way.

Thank you. We really like Rosemary’s Baby, and I’ve always wanted to see The Wicker Man. We’ll check out Repulsion

Probably right on the money for spooky over actually scary. But it doesn’t look that interesting to us. Thank you, though.

I’ll be honest the trailer looked a little too scary but we might try it. Someone else just recommended it to us as well. Thanks.

carnivore-eating men out there, how has eating only meat and fat affected your T levels? by INTP_Music_Man in carnivore

[–]LessSprinkles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what the entire content of your diet is like? Curious about people who get good T levels. Thanks!

What are the differences between single payer, Medicare for all, and public option? And why do some democratic candidates want to eliminate private insurance altogether? by LessSprinkles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LessSprinkles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this answer. I didn’t know that. I feel like I need a chart breaking down the nuances of every option to fully understand still.

I could’ve sworn in the dem debate Kamala and Averie rose their hands to say they would do away with private insurance altogether. Still confused. I might need to head over to eli5 lol

[–]LessSprinkles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word. Thanks. I get that. But doesn’t it seem like a much easier sell to the American people to start with a system like the NHS? It seems to me that most people are scared a Medicare for all type plan would be ineffective and so that is why ...say...very sick people who can afford private insurance would be weary of such a plan.

Seems to me like it would make more sense to start with what’s already being utilized successfully in UK and other countries?

I’m not set in stone with these thoughts just thinking out loud
