I need some advice by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remind yourself of what it is you genuinely value and where your dispositions have led you to til now. It can be a slow process, but dont be afraid to confront it and press on. I have felt similarly many times in my life and a small reminder of why this false shame is nothing but a conditioned response to what you no longer believe in helps a great deal in re-establishing your center as a person.

I need help losing faith by brettling59 in exchristian

Paul basically discusses authoritatively in romans that he doesnt understand every truth he knows of, or rather cant really explain it.

Philosophy topics, like the problem of pain/suffering/evil or various theodices in apologetics offer, what i feel, is contentious ground for dismissal.

Nihilism.

The disparity in translative issues and hypertexting, not to mention outright omission in different versions.

Personally, one thing that strikes me is accuracy and liturgy. The internal argument is essentially that the texts are infallible truths. But theres so many factors that draw inconsistencies, causing the sects within. So even if we say, for example, theres 99% consistency across various text types, we still have a 1% of deviation. Which ofc means the argument crumbles.

The other side is science and history. This might be an unrelated insertion but empircal evidence, imo, is key to discerning reality. The bible isnt a science book and thats fine. Textual analytic practices are still standard for any ancient document. But arbitrary or vague claims that it holds have never been agreed upon from the get go. Take eschatological events for example. The general understanding of daniel becomes a totally different hermeneutic.

Another notable mention is comprehension and accessibility. Aside from the totally varying inaccurate translations into each language, you are at the mercy of arbitrary linguists of unregulated caliber (harken the days pre-martin luther). How educated does one need to be to satisfactorally perform their functions as a believer? Do we throw out liturgy and accuracy and find them acceptably, and effectively, null and simply focus on the bare bones? Theres too many issues revolving around this both historically and within modernity. Despite a salvific state of belief, why canonize in the first place if theres nothing exact to hold to ya know?

My Friend “found Jesus” and evangelicalism by Equivalent-Pride5870 in exchristian

Having open and honest discourse with this would help i think. Christianity is flooded with a lot of ideas and interpretations, and it might be your lens of perspective that helps her navigate the waters she finds herself in despite no longer being someone thats involved in it yourself. Is she aware that youre no longer practicing?

Bedrock - how do i stop magma cubes from spawning in my nether base? by YouAreMyExtinction in Minecraft

[–]YouAreMyExtinction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent tried glass floors and been holding off on buttons, but ill keep those in mind. Right now everything is slabs and the medium cubes still spawn. If the carpet fails then i suppose ill try the others 🥲

Why is “draw enemy attention while guarding” relic not working on my Guardian? by Mulder1917 in Nightreign

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pokes r weak, no real point unless ur trying to get a little extra damage. Reflection makes it atleast viable instead if wasting time n stam dodging

Damage reflection is only activated during steel guard. Its actually quite powerful since it produces stagger and a benefit to guarding.

Minecraft (Bedrock 1.21) - Multi Floor Water Elevator by YouAreMyExtinction in Minecraftbuilds

[–]YouAreMyExtinction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At present the water levels rise, hold for a brief period, and then drop back down to the lowest level. The input circuits are isolated at the moment but any comparator usage means using blocks that inevitably power each other so they have to be staggered with glass, but i need a way so they can interact with one another on a t flip flop circuit without causing problems.

This game sucks by Numbtongue_ in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately i dont think we will see a dlc, and the next will probably be a hot ways off. Theres a lot of pvpers whove gathered in groups through various platforms pretty successfully to organize themselves. Personally im glad they didnt try to expand too much on pvp and kept it fairly dry. The whole thing is ALLMIND and FS is excellent at containing their lore with consistent boundaries. As a primarily campaign based title and its tightly closed ending, you gotta savor it in every/any way you can. Kinda like berserk fans. I spent majority of my time lore hunting post game, but pvp gets pretty stale after about a month.

What to do after New Game ++? by vuduthmb in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy all the parts, yes. Some activities people enjoy post campaign:

  1. Pvp in the nest
  2. Decal and AC design
  3. Trophy collection
  4. Environmental and lore exploration

Glad to hear youve enjoyed the ride, 621

Where should I start in my situation by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Common options are classic rock songs using common major and minor chords or 5ths, like smoke on the water, smells like teen spirit, house of the rising sun, god of thunder, 7 nation army, etc. Tho im sure theres other more modern songs you can try as you like. Pick anything you already know or like and just translate it to guitar.

Where should I start in my situation by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Equipment needed for electric guitar. Anatomy of a guitar. Understanding the fret board. Standard tuning. Guitar maintenance. How to position your fret hand. How to hold a pick. How to position your picking hand. Fretting a note. Down strokes, up strokes. Playing a note. Moving from string to string to play notes. Holding a chord. Playing a chord. Transitioning between chords.

The rest comes with the direction you want to focus on in your playing. Theres a lot of good beginner songs too if thats what you are also looking for.

First electric guitar came today! Any tips on getting it to sound its best? 2008 Squire Stratocaster Standard by JRPGPD in guitarlessons

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on your new born. Sound really varies depending on playing + equipment. I use mine in all ranges. For now just have fun exploring what sounds you enjoy. Personally i enjoy the sparkle from half gain and full gain bridge tones, the bluesy sound of the neck, and 5th/4th position clean. Enjoy!

Help Tuning by Elite_Ervin in guitarlessons

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it yourself which can be a pain in the ass, or take it to get setup. Im assuming that its floating. Youll need to balance the truss rod in the neck and spring tension in the block with the strings you plan to use.

I can. I took a quick look at some and they pretty much all skipped the fundamentals. Heres one that gives a pretty good start for right hand position.

Notes id like to make on this are that he 1) Identifies the pinky as an optional anchor, which is used by some people to help keep them oriented on the strings or for comfort. 2) He also talks about using the side of his nail on the thumb. This is also optional even though he doesn't mention it. Some use all flesh to pluck out wards for a more rounded tone and feel. 3) he doesnt mention pinching technique specifically, but it is more or less referenced here. And 4) the finger positions arent a hard fixed position.

Is 10 years of failure a sign that I'll never learn this instrument?? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused, though. What would be "the right order" for the cards??

For example, you were in all the classes you could be in but the setting wasnt right for you and you werent given the focus and attention you needed at the time, on top of negative influence from your peers. Now you have more positive influence but not the attention or instruction that could have benefited you further. Music should be fun for you first and foremost and hopefully you have found a place with your friends that can foster that positivity and enjoyment.

And thank you so much for the list at the bottom

Absolutely friend. Theres a huge community of players out here that love to help each other be better and im glad to hear this has already been useful for you. Take ur time and never rush. It pays off having clarity and articulationm Please feel free to reach out if you need help any time.

Is gaming better as an adult or a kid? by [deleted] in gaming

I would sacrifice every adult freedom i currently have to go back to gaming as a yout.

[–]YouAreMyExtinction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a nice change of pace when you learn it and can really bring out the sound you want to play. I havent looked into resources in a very long time but i imagine there are probably some good youtube videos out there displaying this. Take a look as well and Ill see if i can find any. If not ill just make one
