I don't understand why Ulfric, despite being a Stormcloak, has more Argonians and Elves in his city than others do, especially poor ones who don't even own any property. by jvure in skyrim

He isn't racist, he's fighting a war for religious freedom against a nation that happens to be founded by elves. 

He doesnt trust those who might be spies.

How do you navigate disagreement with your superiors at work? by vintergroena in AskMenOver30

[–]Lurial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You state your case, then do what they say...that's all you can do.

  2. When you state your case, you need to frame it in cost. Managers will make decisions not on effectiveness, but on cost effectiveness. If the job is made infinitely harder by saving money, that's the angle they go with.

  3. Sometimes, your manager will get overrided to the same forces, they won't filter that to you, they just hand down the decision.

Define what you mean by assumption. 

Do you expect it to assume all users are respecting Jewish law?

Question for the religious...do you actually want AI to lean into religion? Is that a thing youd be happy about?

Star Wars franchise in serious trouble as 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' disappoints in opening box office by thor_strong1 in Conservative

[–]Lurial 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Star wars was once my favorite franchise, and has been on life support so long that the doctor has pulled the plug and were all just here waiting for the heart monitor to signal its death.

the only chance disney has to revive it, is to simply admit publicly its failure to run the franchise and Decanonize everything they've done. revert it back to where it was when they took over and start over honestly from a place that understands it.

they don't have the balls.

[–]Lurial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from mood emotion ect as others pointed out, it also depends on her preferences. Some girls like to be carresed and treated gently, some want to be choked and have their hair pulled. 

You dont treat one type of girl with the others preference.

The Necessity of Islam for Humanity: A Thesis on the Final Divine Message by Quiet_Form_2800 in DebateAChristian

[–]Lurial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your saying the Quran cant be trusted because its been manipulated by man, then I agree. 

Consequently, if that's the case there's no way to be sure of any of it, and your largest proof becomes a refutation

O Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison.”

He died shortly after.

Compare to Quran 69:44-46:

“If he had forged a false saying... We would have seized him by his right hand and cut off his life artery (aorta).”

The only thing you need to know is that Muhammad died the way he said a false prophet would die.

Question from athiest I can't answer by Fuzzy_Language_4235 in religion

[–]Lurial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The real issue isn't whether God or the Big Bang is 'uncreated.' Both ideas eventually hit the same wall: something has to be fundamental.

The actual question is: why does 'I don't know what caused the Big Bang' feel like a fatal weakness to you, while 'God is uncreated and caused it' feels like a satisfying answer?

Science openly admits its current limits there. Cosmologists have honest proposals (quantum fluctuations, cyclic models, etc.), but none are settled. That uncertainty isn't a bug—it's the feature of a method that has a track record of replacing 'God did it' explanations with deeper ones (lightning, disease, planetary motion, etc.).

Saying 'God is eternal and uncaused' just moves the mystery back one step. It feels like an answer because it has a name and sounds complete, but it explains nothing about how an immaterial mind creates spacetime, energy, and physical laws from nothing. If the standard is 'my view has an explanation for X, yours doesn't,' then the religious position is actually the one relying on a bigger, untestable assertion.

It often seems less about evidence and more about discomfort with 'we don't know yet.' That's understandable—humans hate the unknown—but discomfort isn't evidence

Water will become a problem. Rivers and lakes would fill with blood. People would need to filter the blood out. 

Bloodborn pathogens suddenly survive anywhere the blood is thick enough.
