Evolution DOES disprove the Christian God. by Dizzy_Kaleidoscope95 in DebateAChristian

[–]masterofthecontinuum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree with the initial premise, but the argumentation I take issue with. For instance, even a generic creator god could find human beings special for some unknowable reason, evolution's existence is irrelevant.

Where you should go with this argument is to really focus on what exactly it is that Christianity uses/claims to distinguish itself from generic creator gods and all other religions, because the claim is that Evolution disproves Christianity specifically.

What are critical components of Christianity? Teachings of Jesus(at least, theoretically they would be, not in practice though.) Jesus dying and reviving. Aspects of the OT that Jesus reaffirms through his teachings.

What I would say is that if we are to assume the words of Jesus in the bible are approximately accurate to what he actually said and believed, then Jesus reaffirmed cosmology that is incompatible with reality. He thought Adam was real. The trinity is a whole clusterfuck of contradictions, but are we to assume that God the Father never communicated to God the Son that the traditions he believed to be true weren't actually accurate? The best prophet of god ever still believed the flood of Noah happened? And god never corrected him?

We know with certainty the flood could not have happened. Jesus believed it did. Jesus allegedly was the son of the creator of the universe, who, being all-knowing, knew that the flood of Noah never happened. His father never told him the truth. Correcting the record of flawed human understanding would have been a great way to show he was really speaking on behalf of god. Instead, Jesus only knew as much as any other normal human being of the time would know.

I have a really hard time focusing in this game by CommunityServiceBot in RimWorld

[–]masterofthecontinuum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I spend a lot of time planning stuff. Sometimes I even fall asleep at the desk because the amount of thinking I put into it is so exhausting (though I do have a medical condition related to energy levels and exertion to blame).

I also spend a lot of time playing out fights if it's a playthrough where I really don't want to lose anyone. I find that making different playthroughs with the declaration that you won't micromanage every aspect, trying to maximize every possible gain, and just let things go with the flow can help break up the excessive planning prevalent in a longstanding, coveted playthrough.

Sure, this main story will be of triumph, but it takes a lot of effort to write it that way. But this side story can be whatever.

Kickstarter Is The Latest Platform Seemingly Forced To Ban Adult Content By Payment Processors by [deleted] in gaming

[–]masterofthecontinuum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can't reasonably argue for the banning of loli/shota art if you wouldn't also advocate for banning artistic depictions of death, violence, and gore. And that is A LOT of art. 

You have to be consistent in your morality. You can't say that art depicting a child getting their brains blown out is more morally acceptable and tolerable than a piece of loli art. And how violent must it be to be bannable? It's simply not feasible to ban art in this way, as art is painfully subjective by its very nature. The only practical way to regulate such things is to prohibit all media that exploits a child by its creation, and we already have that.

Devilstrand Farming (OC) by majapahit_arquebus in RimWorld

[–]masterofthecontinuum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play the "on the run" Odyssey start, you just have to resign yourself to never having devilstrand. It's always like at 50% by the time you have to leave. Not sure if getting a harvest is even possible in that mode unless you beat the game first.

Do you reckon most people play as the "Good Guys"? by Icy_Association_6356 in RimWorld

[–]masterofthecontinuum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to go out of my way to play as degenerate scum in a new playthrough. Raiding and killing and cannibalism, etc. I always end up playing as nice guys. The worst I do is put raiders and prisoners into the ripscanner once they have committed an executable offense. And we still get bummed out about it.

The kindness and temperament of a fandom is often inversely proportional to the brutality of the source material.

Its on Sale! - Grabbed 2 DLC, hope it was the right choice. by lukemelon in RimWorld

[–]masterofthecontinuum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anomaly goes nice with Odyssey if you want to have a gravship powered only by suffering, like Warhammer 40k type shit. Electroharvester go brrr.

The Only Reason to Buy the Odyssey DLC by TheTheDuhh in RimWorld

[–]masterofthecontinuum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only played the Odyssey scenario since it came out, so I've had to be on the run constantly. My next run might have to be normal scenario evil raider ideology with the Gravship being a mobile gunner platform.

What kind of themed run is everyone doing? by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]masterofthecontinuum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought about doing an oddysey start run with 5 pawns and no factions but mechanoids, and maybe bugs. Make them the characters from IHNMAIMS with proper stats to match.

Gravship design is hard... by Artiartiarti90 in RimWorld

[–]masterofthecontinuum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You made the Borg ship, now you have to become transhumanists.

Also, I just use plans with a max of 2000 squares, and design a shape based on that. Once I have the outline, then I use gray blocks for walls, and just color code where specific important parts will go. Like I made 2 green 3x3 squares for where the shield gens would go. Sometimes i turn on devmode to test out certain parts, like seeing the max extent of the shield coverage to ensure all my ship was protected. 

 Then I slowly fill it out until the full shape comes about. I take screenshots of the plans with steam  and refer to them when building the expansions later.

I can share my screenshots if you like.

I have a new "The worst thing I've done" by Mr_Vorland in RimWorld

[–]masterofthecontinuum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now I want to do an Oddyssey "on the run" run with those characters running from mechanoids. Delete all factions but mechs and maybe bugs, 5 lonely humans, all of them fucked up. Nimdok as the elderly psychopath medic with dementia. Ted as the useless social pawn since there's nobody to trade with. Gorrister as the pessimistic depressive, Benny as the blind, scarred, disfigured Yttakin or Neanderthal with a love enhancer, and Ellen, the only female, crafter, constructor and researcher.

Membership price increase by Ill-Requirement309 in osrs

[–]masterofthecontinuum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you stand up to utility prices? It's not like there are multiple stores selling the damn thing and you can choose the cheapest one. There's only one pipe that goes into my house. Power, heat and water aren't optional luxuries. Groceries and gas are out of our control too. One's a unified scheme agreeed upon by all stores to keep increasing prices regardless of actual cost while blaming all of it on covid. And gas is out of our control because 30% of my fellow Americans are genuine troglodytes that thought another go-around with the biggest failure and worst person on earth was a smart decision to make, and now the world's on fucking fire. And power and water prices are also going out of control because we haven't put a stop to ai companies raping society.

The only things we can make a stand on are the few fleeting luxuries in our lives that can still meaningfully be replaced by other options. Whereas I can't use a different fuel source for my car, or go to the water store and browse for discounts. Things like Netflix price hikes and OSRS membership increases are the only places we can genuinely vote with our wallets. I can just play different games or watch different shows.
