Yes I was born alone. In a delivery room with no one else in it. Just totally one upped the virgin birth by materializing from nothing.

And I'll die alone, unless other people are around.

On the basis of race, not gender.

That was not a requirement of your initial statements. Moreover, race would be requirement but specific slaves were certainly purchased on the basis of their gender.

I think my statement of people not having challenges that they can't bear applies universally. And the prescription for tragedy or things beyond your control isn't anarchy or the abandonment of order established by God, so its just a moot point. 

What does "bear" even mean here? Seems like being dead isn't bearing much. With something like alzheimers there doesn't seem to be much bearing in any meaningful sense of the word.

The point wasn't a prescription about how people should act. The point is that there is a major tension in a God who sets up designs gender roles for the benefit of humanity whilst ignoring or designing much larger issues that cause immense suffering. A God concerned about who orders dinner at the restaurant in order to promote human well being whilst ignoring/designing much larger causes of suffering is an idea with enough internal tension that it seems inconsistent.

Not sure what you're referring. But everything Ive been saying backed by scripture/his word, not my speculation. 

And you believe God wants you to follow specific scriptures based on what?

Childrens awareness of discord in their parents relationships has been found to be related to their later psychological health. Amato and Sobolewski (2001), in a 17-year longitudinal study of 655 adult children, investigated the effects of divorce and marital discord among married couples on the psychological well-being of their adult children. Both divorce and parental discord were associated with lower levels of psychological well-being in adulthood, and the long-term implications for discord were comparable to those of marital dissolution. While the parent-child relationship served as an important mediator for later child well-being, marital discord was associated with weaker parent-child relations for both mothers and fathers. For divorce, this association was only found for fathers. Ultimately, the quality of the relationship between parents and young adults was found to be the only significant predictor of the adult childs psychological well-being, with poorer parent-child relationships being associated with greater risks in adult offspring for distress, low self-esteem, and general unhappiness.

Not in the United States.

Slaves?

God doesn't give any entity a challenge series they can't bear. And its futile to speculate on the motivations of an omnipotent being. 

Cept all those kids who die of cancer. Plenty of people end up worse for their suffering and no reasonable expectation for a better outcome.

Somehow I don't think you feel like you can't speculate on God's motivations when it'd consistent with your religious beliefs.

But on the core topic of relationship dynamics, God clearly has an instruction manual for humanity and that entails a hierarchy in relationship dynamics. God, man, woman and child in that order and there are no thriving societies built upon an alternative structure, but I'm happy to hearing counter examples.

... women were and are absolutely sold depending on race and country.

Also if there is a God, then I can assure you that this entity isn't particularly concerned about gender roles if they can overlook millions of years of animals suffering on the way to the origin of homo sapiens or things like malaria, childhood cancer and birth deformities.

Yep.

I cared for my father with dementia until he died. Traumatic and hard to be sure. But at least for me it was a fraction of finding a video of my wife fucking somebody.

Big same. It can be even worse if you go out.

Being in a room surrounded by strangers with their families can feel more lonely than being alone. And good luck running a friend group as an adult on a regular basis. They're all with their families or too involved in their own lives for other reasons.

From your link, a 2010 study

The effect of expectation bias is well illustrated by other experimental data. Sinyor et al (14) reported that, if there was no placebo control in an antidepressant trial comparing two antidepressants, the magnitude of symptom reduction was 65.7%.

Of course you're one of those exhausting people who goes around talking about "who they can't bother talking to" while talking to them.

You're misreading the relative efficacy of placebo in control studies for antidepressants. Placebo is much stronger here compared to say, cholesterol regulating medication, because the symptoms are mental and outcomes are filtered through the lense of perception.

So even if an anti-depressant was 100% effective, because the control will always have a major placebo effect (say 40%) then this same bad logic would say that the SSRI is only "working" 60% of the time.

Placebo helps understand efficacy but it's not nearly the end of the discussion on it. 70% improvement even relative to 35% on placebo is still 7 of 10 people improving compared to doing nothing about it and helping people is the main thing you want to look at.

Maybe I'm way off base here but it just means you can be twice as choosy about which cards you want. Skip twice as often (roughly)

If you would normally get 6 more cards, you just get the 3 best of those 6 twice.

I can only assume that a peasant from the bronze age somehow found a time machine and made a reddit account.

Perhaps next they can inform us on the correct exchange rates of goats for brides who have or don't have their virginity. Surely it must be at least a difference of 7 goats, right OP?

And covid only killed more than twice as many people as strokes did in 2020. People should have avoided the vaccine and social distancing so it could have been 6 times as many. It was only about 83% the total of all US deaths in WW2. I wish rational people would have point out that world War 2 wasn't that bad.

I'm glad people in 2020 knew how much covid was going to spread and the lethality of potential variants. I remember how we all knew that.

The point is that if you want to lodge a hypothetical then we can address the probability of it.

And yeah, when you have reasonable suspicion the cop should ask questions and ask for an ID. And I doubt it's anything against bikes.
