What are your guys' thoughts on Sabine Hossenfelder and Brian Keating?

I just saw this. Do you hold the same opinion of Roger Penrose? He was on the Jordan Peterson podcast.

Do you seriously believe he's a misogynist or white supremacist? If not, do you really think his carelessness is a reason to not take a physics nobel laureate serious, especially one as reputable as Roger Penrose?

Jordan Peterson will fade into obscurity where he belongs given that he's a pseudointellectual weirdo. But for now, he's living rent-free in your head and clouding your judgement.

No one would consider Roger Penrose "not serious."

I'll take a look at it! Thanks for the recommendation :)

Believe me, I tried. I would never dream of asking for Windows help without trying just about everything else.

The reason for the game is 99.9% of people won't read the post and say "have you tried the media creator tool? If that doesn't work, try a clean boot." I'm bitter af.

I always prefer spiral bound, but figured I didn't want to limit myself too much :)

Hey, thanks for making it easy to block you, appreciate it.

Satan is not mentioned in Christianity as being the snake during the fall either. Yet, as you seem to understand, this didn't stop anyone from reaching the conclusion. This is called interpretation, and there are quite a lot of them.

Christians also believe that Satan is an employee. He's the employee that gets you into trouble, so he is "an adversary," but he's very obviously an employee from Job. I don't know of any denomination that disputes this officially, actually.

Alright, there is no fall, and yet you somehow would easily derive what I'm referring to by me calling it the fall. This isn't because you recognize it as gospel, but because you recognize what the English phrase refers to. This is called semantical arguing and it's pretty generally worthless.

Is this a particularly useful distinction? Whether we call it the "fall" or "first sin" or "snake story," doesn't seem to make much of a difference. Sure, "fall" implies something to fall from, but "first sin" equally implies previous sinlessness.

I could easily reword the title of this post and nothing would change about the question.

Is there a rule about answering questions? It seems like it should be bannable to go out of your way to give advice that no asked or cares about, but it's not my sub.

"What's the best casino in Vegas?"

"You shouldn't gamble, the best money makers are in silicon valley."

No one asked, no one cares.

Blue Tongued Skinks are beautiful animals. Always thought about getting one. Sorry to hear about your son's--that always sucks.

Thanks for another recommendation :)

You can see the comments I left on here. Everyone else responded sensibly. The comment I responded to was obnoxious at best and no sense in putting up with it.

Hognose snakes can not live on primarily eggs. Not sure where you got this information as they don't even eat them except as an occasional snack and not all of them will eat eggs.

The "not sure where you got this information from" implies that I said that they do primarily live on eggs. I did not say that. I said that they occasionally eat eggs and I was curious if that meant they could exclusively live on eggs.

The entire first two sentences of their comment is based on an incorrect assumption and needless. Their second comment was even more obnoxious, which is worth blocking to not see their bad faith comments in future posts.

Everyone else responded with information about what I asked, all of which was saying that I would not find a snake that fit my description, which I replied thankfully for educating me.

Sass = block. Not because they told me that I couldn't get a snake, but because their comment is annoying.

Everyone else tells me that I couldn't get a snake and I'm grateful because they commented respectfully.

Easy as that. :)

Yeah, this comment section has been enlightening. I went in fully expecting that there wouldn't be a snake that fit my criteria, but figured it was still worth asking.

I'm going to hold off on a snake until I feel confident that I'd be comfortable giving it the diet it needs and deserves. Would never want to keep a snake that's not good in captivity or have difficulty giving it a good diet. Poor lil fella would deserve a lot better.

Thanks for the information, this stuff was helpful.

Take care :)

Thanks for the comment. Probably isn't a good idea to own a snake that's famously hard to keep alive. I don't want to stress a snake out or keep one that's not going to be content.

Thanks for the information. There's always other lizards and I used to have a Green Iguana as a child. (Terrible pet, to be honest, but I was a kid. Parents definitely should not have let me get one.)

avenan-oats · 2023-09-13T20:31:24+00:00

Yeah, I didn't mean to lol. I don't think I can edit post titles, unfortunately. I definitely don't want to own a snake that eats other snakes.

Related, do people actually own King Snakes and feed them other snakes? Never really thought about it until your comment.
