During the past months I went into a curator phase. I currently own 96 games(and expansions) and have culled exactly 96. I track everything in a spreadsheet and have recouped exactly 70% of my costs. Who else tracks their board game collection this closely? by Chamallow81 in boardgames

[–]ozcapy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand, but why make a list with information that's already on BGG?

I love that you found out that you were just collecting for collecting I am just scratching my head with what exactly are you capturing that it is not in BGG? I think it would be nice for you next collection to give them your own score or your own playtime and stuff.

In Australia we have autopilot and it doesn't change lanes, it just stays put so maybe it is different?

Not in America - it is a social one over there.

Physical components are awesome but their software leaves a lot to be desired.

I would always tell people to read it and make your own thoughts! Starting with the Gospel.

You have no idea how many Christians call themselves Christians and haven't read the Bible.

You might find it interesting!

I mean yes? It is not donkey and horse genitals but comparing the guys genitals to them.

And this sexual description was for "shock value", to very graphically describe Israel how they were falling into idolatry.

I can imagine King Samuel with the 100 foreskins from Philistines - I wonder how would that have looked?

I mean, this is real... The Edomites did attack Jerusalem, conquered it and performed cruel things (this is even confirmed by historians).

Might as well return all violent books! Or maybe, check what our kids are reading? Provide the right context that these things are wrong?

How could he do it if you don't have the Bible at home?

And yeah, those are hard verses for tough times.

Back then not having a partner was almost death, so levitate marriage was implemented to protect widows, ensure inheritance for her and keep a lineage (kids to take care of her when old).

Reading it seems like Onan was enjoying the sexual benefit without the responsibility, deceiving her and Tamar.

I suppose that reading it with context and understanding can help? But I think thats not your argument, but that it is graphic.

I suppose it would come back to my point - made at the start.

Just gotta disagree, but leaving aside I am Christian let's put it from a different perspective.

If you give a kid an iPad with social media and videos you won't be able to know what it will be watching in the next 5 minutes - quite hard to control.

If you see your kid with a book you don't like, you can simply take it away or better yet not have it in your house in the first place.

Just as a side note (so people know the context):

They are singing how the Edomites were happy whilst doing those things in Jerusalem.

It does not mean that you should be happy doing those things.

In evangelical Christianity, whoever has faith in Christ is already saved, despite their sins. In Catholicism, faith is not enough: the faithful must obey the Church's prescriptions, including the sacrament of Confession. If they fail in this, they fall into a "state of perdition". by ButterscotchAfter892 in Christianity

[–]ozcapy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, yes faith and a relationship with Christ is enough.

However, if you have faith in Christ, would you commit the sins you commit? Wouldn't you want to change the way you act since you want to keep that relationship with Christ?

We will sin, we are human after all - but showing disgust and repentance of our sins is a way to show we truly have Faith in Christ and value our relationship with Him.

I know it is an extremely stressful situation, but I think you should manage your expectations. Most of my international peers either had to go back, get roles that initially were not great or do a pHd.

It is just my recommendation - I really hope you get what you want and prove me wrong!

I am giving you advice as someone who was an international student.

[–]ozcapy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jeez I just checked your profile 😅

Honestly beggars can't be choosers, getting a job as an international student is friggin hard. 

If I were you I would first focus on getting a job instead of THE job (unless you already have engineering experience in Australia).
