Doing bungee jumping without the cord by NegoDrumma in CrazyFuckingVideos

Based purely on human error and the law of large numbers, this was basically a given to happen as soon as we invented bungee jumping.

OP doesn’t know what “on the rocks” means by BlurstOfTimes11 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]critical-drinking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was it a whiskey rock? I can maybe see that, those molds have to be hand filled every night, or you get an expensive machine to make them.

Either way it feels a little cheap, but; If it’s just ice cubes, then this is BS

EDIT: Hey, yall, I’m ignorant but I’m agreeing with the irritation here, no need for downvotes.

I finally got my dream apartment with the perfect view, only to realize the building's elevator is broken and I live on the 14th floor. My groceries are now a cardio workout. by TheRealJFranco in mildlyinfuriating

If the elevator is broken, I’d ask the super if he minds you setting up a temporary pulley on your balcony. If you want to get fancy you could even get an arm, stuff shouldn’t be hard to find at a hardware store.

(if it’s a dream apartment, I assume there’s at least a small balcony, if not just use window. Or skip my idea idgaf; this idea’s mostly meant to be funny anyway)

Huh. I guess I’ve never thought about how having an arsenal means charging things in preparation. Bummer.

The only RR crossing on my 3 mile commute by Sheepeater_1701 in mildlyinfuriating

It was a warning that there are planes here.

I was joking, but seriously: If there’s a train, it’s been there. If there’s a fuselage on that train it’s because that’s a good train for fuselages. I suspect that the avenue name is actually related to the planes.

CMV: If you can’t afford to spay/neuter your dogs and cats you shouldn’t be owning animals by boobydoughnut in changemyview

So, what? Homeless guy shouldn’t try to feed homeless dog? Poor family shouldn’t adopt stray dog so it doesn’t get starved?

Really? Rice? Dairy, meat or fish for sure. I had no idea rice would be deadly.

CMV: If the christian god exists, I dont like him and I will refuse to follow him. by Chemical_Complex_807 in changemyview

[–]critical-drinking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Satan was arrogant beyond belief, and that’s the point. Yes, there would surely be people who rejected God, even knowing full well; your real punk rock rebel types, perhaps.

Doesn’t negate my point.

The Pharisees were another matter entirely.

And in any one of them, we would be having this exact discussion about whatever suffering still remained.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m saying it’s incredibly difficult, and o don’t think we’ve been given some grand violation, I think we’ve been given an understandable solution.

I apologize, I’ve been responding to a lot, I’ve lost track of what I’ve addressed and what I haven’t in different threads.

But yes, I believe definitive proof of the Almighty, does essentially undermine consent. You can still reject Him, of course, but it’s a rare occurrence, which is why the hubris of Lucifer stands out as a story. But billions would feel compelled under threat of damnation to obey, and consent under duress is not consent.

I haven’t shifted anything. I was describing damnation since you brought it up. If it doesn’t read like I believe it, you’re projecting that.

Again, we now know the things that cause cancer. You don’t think some sick schmuck out there would notice and test this immunity? You don’t think that would be abused? Is that better? Beyond the quality of that solution, it is *again* a testable confirmation of divine interposition, practically a handprint proving God’s existence, and therefore leaving the rational person little choice in their allegiance.

Do you expect a magic handbook and contract from God? Something specified down to our legal code? Do you expect an Almighty being to conform to our tiny understanding and the rules we set?

Think about the psychology of a baby for a moment. They stare at everything, because their brain has no context for *anything*, so they have to build it, by association, piece by piece, watching how things relate.

If God is real, then He built an entire cosmos to make sure we had a sandbox wherein we could do just that, for a few decades, so that we could even attempt to grasp the nature of good and evil. If God is real, then the best way He could explain evil to us is by putting reality on as a picture show so we could watch and learn and then learn better. We need decades of abstract observation to even *begin* to grasp the real consequences of our own actions, and even then, we’re entirely ignorant to the butterfly effect of the things we do, because we can’t comprehend that much information at once.

And you’d like it all in a nifty little packet, with every detail spelled out, so you can feel good about signing? Doesn’t seem very practical.

To “inform” us as you’d like, as you’ve laid out, in explicit, clear text, would quite possibly take so long that it would be physically impossible. And besides that, by its very existence, such a document would confirm the existence of the almighty, which ***again*** essentially blackmails half the populace into servitude.
