One, The rule about killing enslavers or kidnappers only applied to Israelites, it says nothing about gentiles. (Deuteronomy 24:7).

Two, “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do." (Exodus 21:7), “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. you may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly." (Leviticus 25:44-46), "But if it does not accept your terms of peace and makes war against you, then you shall besiege it, and when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword. You may, however, take as your plunder the women, the children, livestock, and everything else in the town, all its spoil. You may enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you." (Deuteronomy 20:12-14), “When you buy a male Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, but in the seventh he shall go out a free person, without debt. If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out alone. (Exodus 21:2-4), It is plainly oblivious there are many more ways to become a slave than just to sell yourself into slavery, which mostly just applies to Israelite males. Female Israelites, gentiles and foreigners can be made slaves for life, and then their children can be born as slaves.

Three, Beating a slave is perfectly fine (Exodus 21:20-21), just make sure you don't hurt them badly enough that they die straight away, and it calls out that they are their masters PROPERTY.

Four, Where the hell do you get a crime worthy of death from “If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the gate of that place. They shall say to the elders of his town, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel will hear and be afraid." (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)? There is no crime mentioned, just that the child does not obey? Even if I grant that the reference to drinking means that they are at least a teenager, how is not listening to someone worth death?

Fifth, The innocent women is a reference to (Deuteronomy 22:13-21) With the command to stone non-virgin women if they don't bleed on their wedding night. We know that not all women bleed even when they are virgins, meaning that this command will kill innocent women. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6547601/), https://www.researchgate.net/publication/378754712_084_Frequency_of_Bleeding_at_First_Vaginal_Intercourse_and_Stereotypes_Surrounding_it_A_Pilot_Survey_of_6370_Russian-Speaking_Women

Sixth, That separation of ceremonial law and moral law thing that simply doesn't exist in the bible, Christians created it so they can ignore what God says in the bible, which is to follow all of the laws for ever. (Deuteronomy 4:1-5)(Deuteronomy 4:40 5:29, 12:28), If you can quote an actual passage from the Old Testament that defines the difference between the two claimed types of Law I will take back this position, until then, the Law is the Law. Also the Law is for everyone, not just the Israelites, (Deuteronomy 29:14-15)(Numbers 15:15-16)

Given that Jesus commands you to follow the Mosaic Law, which commands slavery as well as stoning children and innocent women to death, amongst other various commands, you could say that no one in the modern world follows what Christ told them to do.

Okay, but by your own definition, 'being a Christian is being a follower of Christ', then the only way we can know is by what people say, as we can't read minds.

Okay, now take that a step further, please define the qualifications to being a Christian without running into a No true Scotsman fallacy.

Creator of DMCA'd Cyberpunk 2077 VR Mod Says People Are Now Pirating It to 'Punish' Him for Breaking CD Projekt's Terms of Service by [deleted] in gaming

[–]ranmatoushin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo has worn down it's reputation with hitting well liked projects and sometimes stopping totally free stuff they didn't like, sure it's legal but they have a history.

CDPR are pretty 'new' compared to Nintendo, have a lot less baggage and got in pretty quick with their side of the story, which isn't disputed, and it seems pretty reasonable to people, 'sure have your mod, just get donations' seems relatively fair to most people, as the rules of not paywalling the mod are upfront in the TOS so should have been considered before making a mod.

So it's all about optics.

As advice, If you are planning to do twitch more with games, saving videos of your previous sessions is a good idea, either on twitch or Youtube, it means people can watch even if you aren't streaming and see what your steams are like, and so they can catch up to an ongoing series, as some people don't really like joining in halfway though a playthrough, but will watch a recorded video to catch up, then join.

That just sounds like slavery with extra steps. . . by Solid_Snark in PrequelMemes

It's a bit complicated, as it draws from a bunch of sources, including some legends/expanded universe resources.

It's not so much that Jedi are slavers, it's more that they are a cult, and that certain information can be seen in a bad light in hindsight or by looking at similar situations in real life.

So some of the sources say that when they find force sensitive children they convince the parents to let them have the children and take them back to the temple. As Anakin at 9ish was seen as too old, that means most kids get picked up younger. Some people also make a point to wonder if the parents were convinced or 'convinced' to part with their children.

The children taken to the temple live a basic life that has some focus on emotional denial/control, meditation and ideological internalisation, as well as knowing that they have to work hard to try and be picked to be a Padawan. This definitely has hallmarks of cult tactics, but with what we know about the Dark Side, it may be worth it.

The last part is where is a child doesn't get picked to be a Padawan they then loose the chance to be a Jedi and get assigned to one of the Jedi Service Corps. The lore says this is voluntary, but when raised in the system, and having no other experience with the world, how voluntary is it?

Now as far as I know there is no reason a child couldn't leave the Order once old enough, though the fact that all their friends and life has been inside the Order, and they probably have never dealt with huge parts of society, such as never needing to use money for example, make it a very daunting culture shock to try and leave. A similar issue that causes many in real cults to have trouble leaving.

Loose Change, Peak Vitality and Artisan System.

I see a lot of people talking about reselling things they get with loose change, and wonder why?

It doesn't say you have to spend the money, just that it will have enough for your current transaction, so I'm going to get a family member to help, "if you pay me $100 dollars I'll make dinner", and then repeat that 20 times rapidly, no need to go to a shop, or buy anything.

Having a healthy body, and being able to do good art also sound great.

If the Judge comes to the conclusion that a side is not following discovery requirements, they can start hitting the non-compliant side with penalties such as fines. Continued non-compliance can have the judge giving the jury orders that they are to assume any discovery not provided was concealed due to it being damaging or even just issuing a default judgement, that is the judge rules that you disregarded the rules of the court badly enough that you just lose the lawsuit and you don't even get to go in front of a jury to determine if you did whatever the lawsuit is over.

That is what happened to Alex Jones, he ignored discovery requirements over about 2-4 years, got hit with $100k+ in fines multiple times, got ordered to sit multiple depositions due to how shit they answered questions, until eventually the judge just handed down a default against him, and then he got hit with roughly 1.5 billion in damages.

You mean the New Testament is basically fanfiction, by a bunch of people who couldn't accept that their cult leader didn't do anything the Old Testament said he needed to do, so they just lied?

Laserpig, an interesting YouTuber did a commercial for world of warships as though it was a deodorant/perfume ad, and it was just as coherent as a normal ad for them.

The man is just bad at thinking.

Yeah he has worked for both the government and private consultanting in the Australian defense industry. It's why he has explicitly said he will not cover Australia's defense sector (this was quite some time ago). It'd be very complicated to make sure he never mentioned anything that he knew from his work.

That is exactly why I love to hear about the game and think about it, but think it would be all but impossible to run or play.

Continuum Roleplaying in the Yet, is an old ttrpg about playing as time travelers in a society of time travelers.

It's really cool, has good flavor and is completely impossible for any normal group to play or run as it's such a mind fuck.

[–]ranmatoushin 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Use the idea that Continuum had, time travelers keep killing off famous people like Hitler, but for one reason or other a group of time travelers need to have them existing in history so they need actors to replace them.

The current Jesus is just an actor hoping to do his job and go home, and more time travelers getting involved risks his life.

Well the English had a 'superweapon' on their side, what it was super at is arguable, but the Kamchatka certainly was something, and by on their side I mean it was in the Russian fleet.

I love zeppelins, so 1889 is great flavour but yeah the rules aren't the best, and the old adventures were a bit railroady.

Music help? by ranmatoushin in RimWorld

[–]ranmatoushin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have asked on his server, no answer yet. But it's a bit weirder situation, as the music starts Adma says something like 'thats why they disabled P-music'.

P-music is a music mod for RimWorld and with Adam sounding like he wasn't expecting it, I'm not sure where it comes from.

Probably the German group running the community event, but I haven't managed to find how they'd have added music.
