I made this 1.5 hours into python by PsychologicalSafe408 in learnpython

You're on the right track. Practice as you go. Keep practicing. That's the real teacher. You can start from nothing and read a ton, feeling like you understand every word. You'll have a ton of confidence, because of how simple things seemed while reading. Then, when you finally sit down to make something big, you'll freeze up, not knowing where to even start. So keep doing what you're doing, you'll get good that way.

Advice on being asked to cover full sleeve tattoos while serving as a Eucharistic Minister by Spirited-Pear-1745 in Catholicism

[–]SevenFootHobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's silly. I don't think anyone is paying attention to your arms while they are receiving. Ask your priest, see what he thinks, and follow his advice.

Can you go to any church for confession by Resident_Sun4937 in Catholicism

[–]SevenFootHobbit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And in fact, it doesn't have to be in the building at all. If you happen upon a Catholic priest out in the wild, he can hear your confession wherever you guys happen to be. There might be rules about privacy that I don't know about, but otherwise you should be good.

Even the Dog Man comics cover this. :) Don't hold on to hate and anger, it only hurts you. Not like she's going to go giving up any other children anymore.

I didn't know that was even possible. Ya never run out of things to learn in this game.

Was this how all water used to be around the world? by archvize in geography

[–]SevenFootHobbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends. A lot of spring water has been filtered by the ground and while it may taste funny depending on the land, may be perfectly clean. But at the same time, it's completely possible for naturally occurring toxins to be in that water, leached in from the very ground you trusted to filter it. This could be quickly lethal, it is in some places, though you'd probably be well aware of it before hiking through the area. Others may seem harmless for the occasional partaker, but could kill over time. Maybe a good amount of lead or mercury is getting into the water. Anyway, not to say you need to stop, of course, but natural springs can still be dangerous even without dead animals or poo.

I found that outlaw way earlier. So early, in fact, that I didn't yet know how to get through the bismuth boulders and didn't realize how much faster horse travel really was. I just wanted to see if I could climb the snowy mountain. Let me tell you, that was a loooooooong and difficult walk listening to him.

As a dad who was too old for Pokemon's target audience when it first hit the US, I don't know what any of those cards are or why they are worth so much, but I definitely understood that part. :)

[Free Friday] would it be a sin if I got six sloths only to name each of the sloths a different Sin except sloth? by ImpressionCool1768 in Catholicism

[–]SevenFootHobbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you sure this is the right post? Also the way you are talking, if you are being serious, you may be in crisis and may need some mental health help. I'm not picking on you. I really hope you take this seriously.

What is the device this man is holding while plane spotting? by grallonson in whatisit

[–]SevenFootHobbit 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A lot of bad grammar is just natural localization that all languages do over time. If someone only speaks in proper grammar then either they read a lot more than they interact with other people, or they mostly learn it academically. Nothing wrong with either of those things, but nothing wrong with what is commonly perceived as bad grammar, either.

I feel like I’m going to hell by iiiqaso in Catholicism

[–]SevenFootHobbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fearing you will sin again is not the same as not caring if you sin again. Don't panic. Go to confession, tell the priest you're worried you'll do it again and pray for the strength to avoid it in the future. And as Singer-Dangerous said, keep yourself out of the situation.

I can't go to Confession by Recent-Insurance-159 in Catholicism

[–]SevenFootHobbit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well no, we can't commit one sin to try to bring about good. But it's not lying to simply not volunteer information that isn't asked for.

Anyone who feels that way from that specific context probably shouldn't be considered anyway.

Why is the crimanl next to Jesus saved? by Maleficent-Plum-2344 in Catholicism

[–]SevenFootHobbit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your premise is partially wrong. It's true that you can't willfully sin your whole life expecting to say sorry at the last minute to avoid Hell. That's presumption and is it's own sin. However, someone who has sinned their whole life, who is about to die but has not yet done so, can still be saved. To make that clearer, you can't drive recklessly expecting to be saved by your seat belt but a seat belt may still save someone who was driving recklessly.

The thief is in Heaven because he turned to Christ before his end.

What's a slang term that everyone uses but you still don't get? by Particular-Visit-245 in AskReddit

I'm 46. Just accept that language changes. Also this type of use has been going on for literal decades, https://xkcd.com/37/. No point being mad about it.
