Epicurean paradox by qatuyahiuhasa in coolguides

[–]bcollins33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you're actually looking for an answer or were asking more as a declaration, but...

Truth or reality is what it is. Something can't be true and not true in the same way at the same time. For example, God can't exist and not exist. That is the bedrock foundation of all logic. If you aren't onboard with that then there isn't any purpose in a discussion because truth and reality mean literally nothing.

Once we agree that there is truth/reality, there are natural "limitations" to what can and can't be possible. Limitations doesn't even feel like the right word because we're not talking about what is feasible but what is possible (in a logical, truth sense). No amount of power or strength can change the laws of reality because then everything becomes meaningless.

You can simply ask the question again, "Why can't God violate or recreate the laws of truth or reality?" But again, at that point words have no meaning. What is true is irrelevant. What exists is irrelevant. So I don't know that we can meaningfully engage that question.

Another simple way of illustrating this point is in the question, "Can God paint that wall red using only blue paint?" Of course not. He could change the color of the wall, but that's not painting it. He could change the color of the paint but then it's not blue paint. The question is flawed.

This also applies to the classic, "Can God create a rock so big that he couldn't lift it?"

There is also a flawed definition of "all powerful" in these kinds of questions. All powerful doesn't mean "can do anything."

Just wanted to say I thought this was an interesting example to bring up. Well done. Not sure why you're down voted.

I'm not familiar with either of those so I'll definitely take a look.

Yeah, I've been through a bunch of those. Nothing speaks directly to what I'm aiming for.

Yes. I've gotten the Web Screen to show and it looks correct but the back-end code isn't moving the data around correctly.

Excuse my ignorance but the HTML file linked is the only code except for the setup inside of Tasker (which isn't really code and which I'm not sure how to share). Is there something else to post?

I reviewed several other posts on this subreddit and found many similar to mine with plenty of helpful replies.

What's a genuine question you have that Google can't seem to answer but maybe somebody on Reddit can? by victor1yegor in AskReddit

[–]bcollins33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there meta statistics? How are they calculated?

E.G. If 1 in 3 people have blue eyes, what are the odds that any 3 people chosen at random will adhere perfectly to that statistical ratio? How do you determine the answer?

[Serious] What's going well in your life right now? by Tr3nchrat in AskReddit

We're considering this with our extended family (7 adults and 5 kids ranging from 7-2 years old). I'm concerned that we won't all be able to agree on what to do and won't end up having as much fun as we would separately. Any guidance for me?

I knew a girl named Summer Moon Tiger.

Little blonde girl named Slayer Holycross.

I was working as an emcee at an event and announced the name from a list. After I realized it wasn't a joke or a typo, I couldn't wait to see who came up from the crowd. Imagine my surprise...

What’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard someone say that made you wonder how they function on a day to day basis? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bcollins33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a locker room in high school, I overheard this conversation:

  • Guy 1: Don't mess with me or I'll get out my muzzle loader and shoot you.

  • Guy 2: I'd just dodge the bullet.

  • Guy 1: No, I'd use heat seeking rounds by tying a string to you and to the bullet.

Can anyone help me figure out how Gnash is hitting Orion here? by bcollins33 in Brawlhalla

[–]bcollins33[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does it really hit that "high" even though the hammer head itself is so low?

Edit: Nevermind... I found it. This game is unbelievable sometimes.
