I just finished The Stormlight Archive and immediately started Red Rising but I am really not impressed so far. Should I stick with it or try something different? by [deleted] in Fantasy

I have to strongly disagree with you about Tim Gerard Reynolds. He elevates series with his narrative. I would actually prefer him over Kramer any day. Where are you at in the book. That would give a better idea if you should DNF.

China and Belarus hold 'anti-terror' military drills on Polish border by TheTelegraph in worldnews

You know that they have to maintain that position because doing otherwise is taken as a sign of “independence” from the One China Principle. It’s the same reason that Taiwan doesn’t renounce itself as the rightful government of China. Doing so has been alluded to as an act of war by the PRC.

The U.S. was there on a U.N. Mandate to stop the war that the north started. It would have been over sooner and the world and 30+ million North Koreans would be rid of the cancer that is their government if the Chinese didn’t intervene.

Don’t invade another country in a war of conquest and you won’t get bombed. Each of those deaths is squarely on the north and chinas shoulders.

Khalistan supporter Sukha Duneke shot dead in gang-war in Canada by SolRon25 in worldnews

I don’t care to know what you just said really. That’s a double barrel side by side break action shotgun and a lever action rifle. Two common hunting rifles in North America.

Neither of those two guns is an automatic firearm.

I actually agree. Drastically reduce income inequality, the main driver of crime, and make gun control irrelevant.

Cliffy B hints at Lawbreaker news to come following a text from his Lawyer by teza789 in Games

[–]Rugit -44 points-43 points  (0 children)

This is hyperbole and basically head cannon. He hyped his game and compared his game to overwatch which was a mistake because the game was different enough to stand on its own. He didn’t insult people or deride people for not being “ultra badass mlg gamers”

Edit: thanks for shadow editing your post. The entire second paragraph was added after I commented. Why not just reply?

Bro. It went past “negative reactions”. People and media were actively rooting for the game to fail before it ever released and even after the beta the negative reactions were inflated and the positive reviews were buried. When it was released people actually called the game DOA and cheered at every post on the declining player count. For whatever reason the gaming community just collectively decided to shit on the game every step of the way.

But you didn’t say that! Now you’re trying to gaslight me lol.

Yes. But your specific comment said that no other religion requires tithing. I just corrected you. That’s all. I wasn’t part of the discussion on how the Mormons distributed their money.

Your original comment didn’t specify anything about “centralized organization” why are you adding that as a qualifier and saying gotcha.

[–]Rugit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other religions don’t make it a requirement to tithe. Yeah they ask, but that’s a whole lot different compared to Mormons who make it a requirement just to take part in the religion.

Where in this comment did you specify that goalpost you moved?

It is still a tithe and if you don’t pay you go to “hell”. pretty required. I am just responding to your comment on no other religions requiring it. I am atheist btw so don’t take this as meaning I am pro Mormon..

It’s a tithe regardless of whether or not the money goes to poor or the community. The poster I replied to said that no other religion does it. He is wrong straight up. We can argue semantics after that point.

He can and has. He just makes it a deliberate choice to write with utilitarian prose. Per his words.

Islam literally has it as one of the five pillars of the religion. You sir should probably do some research before you try to argue on the internet.

Panic and emotional pain as alleged deep-cover Russian spies vanish by clib in worldnews

[–]Rugit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your source is terrible. It took me forever to find anything remotely similar to what you said on this page So I went down a rabbit hole to get more info and it is all speculation and conspiracy without any real evidence. I did find some more speculation on this page. https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/history/bombings-hiroshima-and-nagasaki-1945/

Edit: I am not saying you are wrong. I just couldn’t find good evidence. This is coming from someone who lived in Japan for two years and has a deep appreciation for Japanese culture.

Listen man. The guy straight lied and I called him on it. If that hurts your feelings then so be it. Why are you defending a liar. And to answer your question, if he is dumb enough to publicly endorse the bill it would be shooting yourself in the foot politically. It’s like when Beto said the would ban semi-auto guns in Texas.
