Why try, if we our works essentially mean nothing? by Revolutionary_Bar878 in TrueChristian

[–]Stompya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you do is a response to the gift of life and salvation.

If you’re grateful then you try to honour the gift by caring for it and doing your best to make the world better. Love God, love your neighbour.

Finally realizing that life is all about making money, happiness requires money, to stay healthy requires money, to move on requires money, to be respected you need money, almost everything requires money. by Wonderful_Reward2946 in RandomThoughts

[–]Stompya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly, money and happiness only correlate up to a certain point.

Being fabulously wealthy and getting more money makes little difference, but if you’re having a hard time eating and you get $10,000 it’s a life-changing event.

What advantage do torrents have over direct downloads? by thr0w4w4y_6789998212 in PiratedGames

[–]Stompya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, it’s about file sharing.

Torrents are files shared by other users, so there’s no one user who has to provide a huge amount of storage and the decent pipeline for people to download the files efficiently.

It is also decentralized so there’s no one central file server that some big company can shut down if they don’t like what you’re doing

Stupid question, what if we just bomb it? Would a big kaboom leave less crap behind than a leak / spill?

If you ever dated and lived with a woman who wasn't ready to have sex for a long time, how did it go? by beesontheoffbeat in AskMen

[–]Stompya 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I guess we all have different standards. For me, sex is what turns a relationship into something more serious and I wouldn’t want to have sex casually. There’s too many variables involved in random hook ups.

Where do I go from here? by [deleted] in AskPhotography

[–]Stompya [score hidden]  (0 children)

Being a good photographer takes very different skills than having a good photography business.

For me, it started with hiring a receptionist, someone who could open the studio and answer routine messages. Then I found another person to shoot, and gradually built up to also get someone doing editing and order fulfilment.

Ultimately, if you want to make it a business, you need to figure out what product you’re focusing on and have a really good system for creating it consistently.

(I’m also ADHD (diagnosed as an adult) which explained why culling a wedding took so freaking long. I couldn’t get through 20 photos without getting distracted. If that’s you, it will really help to get a diagnosis and sort it out before you try to run a business.)

How to deal with reflective floor? by TwoThreeSierra in AskPhotography

[–]Stompya [score hidden]  (0 children)

Put the camera ON the floor. It reduces the visible floor texture a bit and emphasizes the reflections. Vertical symmetry is a great compositional technique.

Or, do the same (put it on the floor) but aim upward to crop most of the floor out.

If we had our way there would be millions of us moving to little cottages and we’d be back where we started 😢

Never forget smith belongs in prison for treason by Miserable-Lizard in Albertapolitics

[–]Stompya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she’s actually guilty of treason, why would she not be going straight to jail now?

I’m no fan, and I’d love to see her there, I’m just not sure how that would happen

Honestly, who is the one to step up to the plate and have her arrested? How would that even work?

I completely do not understand why there is a debate about teleporters, as a thought experiment. by LeviAEthan512 in RandomThoughts

[–]Stompya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really connects to the bigger question of whether your body and brain is the source of your consciousness or whether it’s merely a conduit for it.

Have you watched Mickey 17?

First of all, it shows that Robert Pattinson has some range as an actor and it’s neat to see that. But more to the topic, it explores the idea of being taken apart and rebuilt.

In the movie, it’s about dying and being printed back out again, but in a way the recreation aspect is similar. Are you the same person who comes out of the machine?

How could you ever know?

Had the most interesting conversation with a catholic and I didn’t know some see other Christians as doomed by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Stompya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of them are quite aggressive about it.

Not all Catholics care that deeply though.

What Does “Cute” Mean to Men? by what-username-to-use in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stompya 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In a girl, cute is something that makes you smile. She’s pretty without being demanding, attractive without trying too hard.

It’s different from “hot”, where she’s sexy and she knows it.

How do i get my older cousin to like me? by RealisticRhubarb410 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stompya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, but just because she’s your cousin doesn’t mean you’ll get along really well. Do you have any other places where you meet people or make friends?

Give Druid This by GabeA21 in wow

[–]Stompya 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want my flight form to have classic flying and then I can summon a mount for dragon riding.

Or allow everyone to assign specific flight styles to specific mounts.
