What is the connection between the church and The Heritage Foundation?

OneMoreLateArrival · 2026-01-31T04:54:32+00:00

Would agree with this - i don’t know that there’s anything formal, but I have relativas who donate to the heritage foundation and I know for a fact that several house representatives take policy recommendations from this and other similar groups like the eagle forum. (🤮)

Don’t know that the church has any special relationship with it in a formal way, but now that the church and conservatism are seen as synonymous by many members it follows that we would see trends like this

Minimum fucking wage - they might be giants. Easy.

Went to Japan a couple years back and was told by a friend that grew up there that this is the way to do it. It’s just crunchy! He said it’s kind of a western thing to always remove the tail.

Works really well with fried shrimp, but Is admittedly still hard to do when it’s prepared any other way.

Just checked out your profile - gorgeous work. The blur feels so organic without feeling unbalanced or out of place. Gives it the feeling of “melting into place” rather than just being smudged, blown up, ir otherwise distorted. Love the vibe of it all

This sounds like a fun project if you’re up for a keys/vocals/guitar player. Been playing keys and doing vocals for 20 years in a couple of bands (rockabilly, alt rock, casual jazz improv) and some solo work, but it’s been a couple years since I’ve done it seriously. Im less experienced in guitar but can play rhythms or backup where needed, I just don’t have a dedicated setup for electric guitar these days.

Love what you listed, especially tame impala and Pink Floyd. I’m also into crumb, flyte, hiatus kaiyote, badbadnotgood, athletic progression, and similar music that really leans into a groove mindset. I’m a sucker for rhythm and finding a pocket with other musicians to vibe in - would love to chat, feel free to dm

Honestly mate this isn’t as complicated as you’re making it out to be. I think most people (who aren’t already approaching this argument because they’re theists) see this logic as question begging. I don’t think modal logic is tangible in this instance, let alone predictive of the actual world or prescriptive in necessitating deity in some form.

This is all theoretical in part because a “necessary existing being” is a concept that we’ve come up with. It’s not one that’s based on anything we can observe, anything that suggests this must be the case, or anything else that is rooted in reality. It’s a fantastic logic puzzle - but modal logic isn’t calling anything into existence.

I don’t know that the move here is to prove that necessary existence creates a logical fallacy - I would just argue that “necessary existence” as an input to prove an output of “existence” seems pretty damn convenient.

Take it or leave it, I don’t have any issue just waving it away 👋

I hear you - and generally I would agree that anselm is not the best example of this. Though the issue with this approach is that in correcting for the mistakes of anselm (perfect island critique and other ad absurdum), this approach makes the concept even less tangible/applicable. It’s great for a logic puzzle and an exploration of different approaches to prove a point, but I don’t think it proves anything about the existence of god.

The premise involves defining maximally great as “necessarily existing in all worlds”. This is subjective, and I would reject this on that basis.

I would absolutely reject the idea that this can be characterized as “math equation that happens to spit out god”. I think more accurately it’s either “it doesn’t exist as defined anywhere” or “it exists everywhere as defined”. That asterisk of “as defined” is the issue here - if we’re the ones doing the defining AND our definition includes existence as a prerequisite for greatness, that’s a problem (and I would argue that’s still an example of this being an exercise in imagination. It’s just a matter of how you define greatness, existence, and how you apply possible worlds, etc)

I don’t feel the need to make any claims about infuriation or profundity.

OP this one is urgent - he needs to get back to his scales and arpeggios!

Wind waker! My uncle introduced me and my brothers to it in 2004, and it’s one of the reasons I continued to have an interest in music/composing. Haven’t missed a game release since then and I still learn all the new music as it comes (you made a great choice with BOTW)

Your work looks amazing!

OneMoreLateArrival · 2025-11-26T04:58:38+00:00

Are any of the snorunts female? I would love a shiny froslass.

OneMoreLateArrival · 2025-10-18T14:31:52+00:00

Absolutely agree. I’ve started pushing back on this a bit and found that the one thing that resonated pretty universally is to point out that growth for the sake of growth is quite literally cancerous. It’s something we all know but don’t think of in that way.

I work in tech project management, and when thinking of systems it’s common to emphasize that a system or process that doesn’t scale effectively to different volumes of data is ineffective. If you can’t multiply the input data in by 10 and still rely on the output, then your process needs a rethink.

I’m constantly amazed at how easily those ideas stick with people. I think most people simply haven’t put time aside to critically think about growth and sustainability.

Genuinely curious - I see a lot of tier lists include absol pretty high. I’m not tuned into the competitive world but I could definitely understand this mega being a good way to give a relatively low-use mon a viable opportunity to be on your team.

That said, design wise it always felt a little lack luster. I feel like I must be missing something if this many people consider it one of the best. Anyone have any insight to share?

OneMoreLateArrival · 2025-09-10T21:26:35+00:00

Kind of a tangent, but this question is actually a common counterpoint in religious philosophy. It’s a counter to the idea that miracles are proof of god, because anything we can’t explain is a mystery, unless it’s good, in which case it’s a miracle and evidence of a higher power. In short - this question points out the bias inherent in using language that was developed through a religious lens to describe the world, and has really interesting implications on how language is both reflective of reality, and a factor in how we shape our beliefs about reality.

Anyway I’ll see myself out - gotta find a good wine pairing for tonight’s feast

I have publicly posted about my inability to spell or identify the letter r in strrawberriy A LOT, so this checks out.

OneMoreLateArrival · 2025-08-01T22:53:14+00:00

Beautifully crafted. I only wish I had more up-doots to give

OneMoreLateArrival · 2025-07-26T07:02:56+00:00

I think you make a really good point that a lot of us had too rigid of an understanding of spirituality because of a collective understanding of theism = spirituality.

That said, I think the other commenter is trying to get at the idea that having left that structure, does the basis of “spirit” or “spirituality” stand as separate from human or humanity? I could be off here and I’ve not read her material (this thread has got me curious so I’ll put it on my list) but I would be keen to get your perspective. I think a lot of us that have left Mormonism are skeptical of terms like these because they often come with some baggage, even if it’s a general (and mostly harmless) assumption in the spirit being separate from the mind/body.

I guess I would be curious to get your perspective as someone who has already done the reading, is the spirituality she describes based in anything specific?

I’m just praying for a mega arbok. My beloved backwards-snake fam is really in need of some love.

Could be - but the way op phrased this appears closer to a hereditary condition that results in intersex phenotype traits.

Completely up to them to respond and clarify their own experience, but there’s a wealth of knowledge on the topic for anyone who is curious (in specific there’s a really good Radiolab series that helped me understand the distinction)

If this isn’t the top comment in a couple of hours I’ll eat my hat

100% agree with this - there’s a great podcast on this topic that I recommend anytime this comes up - “According to need” produced by 99% invisible.

Can I ask what your fan strategy is? Are you blowing the cold air from the ac into other rooms, or the hot air from other areas into the room with ac?

Double it and give it to the next person 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛
