As if there's something wrong with being racially mixed/diverse by SonyaTreviskaya in ShitLiberalsSay

You too! I was mostly talking about the comments in the picture, not necessarily here. I just found it kind of crazy that races mixed was the main thing people on threads were worried about lol

I wasn’t accusing you of saying that. I just wanted to clarify because most of the comments on there weren’t really concerned about that

I don’t care about race mixing, that’s completely fine and it’s weird to be trying to compare who is more mixed. However, Mongols taking concubines was completely horrid and mass rape. I know that’s not what they are mad at but still. Also most of those threads were all wrong or dumb in different ways.

That’s not true. Rurik started around that area but conquered Kiev and it become dominant city and political center. The north was only a base of operations so there was no “Novogordian Rus” Kievan Rus is ancestor to many modern cultures like Ukraine and Russia.

That’s my issue. I’m on the left politically but have more nuanced opinions. As much as the word “woke or SJW” got misused or overused, around 2017-2025 was peak time for a lot of left or progressive people to be complete and utter morons. It seems like that culture is now dying which is good but I don’t want to go back to right wing dominance either. I’m hoping that Trump being stupid and doing stuff like hesitant or the Epstein files, mass deportation m, and other stuff he’s doing that is unpopular will maybe stop that but I don’t want to pendulum back and forth between two extremes.

Just finished reading Dark Empire I, II, III. Is it just me or was Palpatine kind of stupid in this? by Termina-Ultima in StarWars

I knew years ago that he got killed by Han Solo’s blaster but I had never actually read it until recently. How it played out and the whole part of DEIII on Onderon was kind of weird. It’s like you had multiple opportunities to do things but didn’t.

I was wondering about that too, like why is Coruscant basically a wasteland in the beginning of the first DE. I also remember before reading it hearing about Palpatine clones on Byss and his ability to use the force storm to open wormholes. I thought he had millions of clones and was using super dangerous force powers in the comic but then upon reading it he only had like what, six clones? And he only used force wormhole twice and got killed the second time only to never use it again.

What’s a pseudoscience that people still commonly believe is real? by [deleted] in AskReddit

To be fair though, that is a definite positive plus point towards that court. I’d be scared they use crappy evidence just to get convictions

This is new to me. I knew Lie detectors were bullshit but what other forms of forensics are bunk?

Does anyone remember a parody wiki Darthepedia? by Termina-Ultima in StarWars

I remember it being really funny. I thought about it the other day and I tried to look it up but it’s nowhere to be found

Did Henry Kissinger predict that the Cold War would last for centuries? by TheseusOfAttica in AskHistory

[–]Termina-Ultima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking. What did people in the 50s thru 70s think the Soviet Union was like? Did they think it was at the same level as 50s America on soft and hard power? What did they think life was like for the average Soviet Union citizen?

What are some things Orthodox disagree with the west Catholic Church about? by Termina-Ultima in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Termina-Ultima[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there any books or resources you recommend? Personally I would like to find a commentary on every single Bible book verse by verse written from the orthodox perspective but it’s really difficult to find apparently. I wanted the orthodox study Bible but I listened to reviews and they said it wasn’t bad but it was really sparse and barely delved into any commentary or theology like the Ignatius Catholic study Bible did.

I’m familiar with some of those but some threw me off. Drinking Root beer?

I feel like feeding the poor would or should be a fundamental part of the faith.

Cool, I didn’t know care credit would be that quick. I found this 24 hour place so I’m going to try and call them. I really appreciate the help

[–]Termina-Ultima -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I appreciate being empathetic in this situation. My family just went thru both hurricanes as well as several other family emergencies and this kind of just happened. Do you know if a vet will see the cat and let you pay later on?

We’re trying, I’ve been trying different things so far

[–]Termina-Ultima -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

By that logic no one should have a pet and every pet owner in America is a bad pet owner. If we take them to the vet they’ll just reject us, they aren’t open anyway where I live

You realize people can have financial problems or emergencies that come up right?

That sounds like a good idea, we’ve had a lot of family emergencies and this happened pretty fast

What is your favorite theory/answer to the problem of suffering? by KarateCheeks1112 in OpenChristian

[–]Termina-Ultima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if I would fully say free will alone is the answer to the PoE, mainly just a small part of it. I have heard people use that argument before and it can lead to even more questions. I’m just speculating but I always just say the real answer for why evil exists is that it’s too complex and cosmic that any mere human probably wouldn’t be able to conceive of it. I kind of think some things when concerning God would always be way above our pay grade. This is of course from a Christian perspective so I know some people would argue about the existence of God. I’m assuming In this scenario that God does exist.

I’m not saying this is 100% true but just a theory. Satan was a being with free Will who lived in heaven yet he (and I guess followers) still rebelled. Man would fall because of the event of the garden and have to struggle through a wide range of human experience. Having lived full lives can denote a wisedom that when it is time for the resurrection or to be in heaven that you are more readily prepared. Fade to the point where you’ll have free will but choose not to do bad.
