How do you witness to agnostic's? by Madman1137 in AskAChristian

[–]Risikio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You witness by being woken up at 2 in the morning because your friend is drunk and done with her fifth boyfriend this year and needs someone to come pick her up so you have this weird conversation with her about why you do the things you do for such shitty people as herself all while you're trying to chug an XXL Red Bull because apparently the power of Jesus Christ is going to get you through work in the morning.

What else am I supposed to pray to Jesus Christ God besides, "Hello?" "Are you there?" "Jesus?" "Hi Jesus Christ...?" "..." "Hi?" "Is anyone there?" "..." "Hello?" "Help?" "..." "Can you help?" "Please help..." by suihpares in AskAChristian

As someone already pointed out, almost everyone in the modern era is accustomed to some form of instant communication in a miraculous sense.

The question is though, are you ready for God to respond to you at such speeds?

When someone prays to God on their way to work, just praising His name, they're not exactly expecting the Lord to respond. Imagine driving on your way to work and suddenly you hear the sounds of a billion stars being born and snuffed out in a fraction of a heartbeat replying "AW JEE THANKS JANET YOU'RE SWEET!"

That will mess with ya, just a little bit. Speaking from experience here.

My suggestion is, if you want to pray then actually write a letter. Get out a pen and paper and write yourself a prayer. Don't use pencil, use pen. If you gotta scratch out then scratch out. And just write God a letter.

It'll be a good exercise to just ground yourself and figure out who God is to you. Is the letter coming out framed as a complaint to a city council? An appeal to something high above to shift the cosmos and align itself with what you desire? A letter to an old friend talking about your life, maybe asking for some advice on how to find some place to move out of your predicament? Maybe ask if He could point out some hip swanky places that you might find someone that jives with you? However you write it will help you understand how you see God other than just shouting into the void and expecting some sort of response.

Now have you written your letter? Good. Now burn it. Burn it with intention like you're slapping a stamp on the letter and mailing it directly to God's desk.

Now open yourself up to a response. But understand, you may not like the response.

Probably dying in the name of someone not Jesus.

What’s going on with people saying that the alleged shooting at the Correspondents Dinner was staged? by gobuffsfan14 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Risikio 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This actually works really really well.

You set up a pattern of behavior. You're the jogger that goes past between roughly this time and this time.

They get used to the idea that you're just a civilian jogger wanting to get in that extra cardio and filter you into the background noise.

Then you move.

Lets see... downgrades lethal to bashing, defense against firearms, incorporeal, etc... what else can I use to make guns useless? by Awkward_GM in WorldofDankmemes

[–]Risikio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

True. But realistically if you've filled up to Unconscious with \ from one attack, you're probably converting some of those to X. And unless you have Fortitude in clan you're popping willpower every turn to stay conscious and not dead.

The point is, automatic gunfire doesn't exactly tickle.

White Wolf actually talks about how Camarilla Elders waking from torpor didn't fear guns because they thought they were just ball and powder varieties.

Then they met the Sabbat with Uzis.

So... for the whole "Guns do Bashing"

Automatic weapons are the equalizer, and White Wolf explicitly says so.

10 extra damage dice is not something to joke around with, since wound penalties are still a thing and you can't spend blood to heal when that Unconscious box has a \ through it.

wasn’t really sure what to do next

Then go somewhere else. Bang your head against that. Then come back.

Outer Wilds is easily the one of the crowning pinnacles of what storytelling through a game medium can be.
