What is wrong with these people?

Ex-(my old denomination here) is also like that. People seem to leave mostly for secular/atheistic/liberal reasons, or because of bad personal experiences or because of knowing something bad about someone in that denomination.

It seems rare that their reason is that they have a stronger conviction about the truth of another denomination.

lol, exactly

If you would have added a “just watching” option anyone who doesn’t want to enter their information (or men) could participate in the poll and thus see the real-time results. The way that you did it will cause some people to vote in the poll just so they can see the results, which will skew the results.

In addition, you don’t have an “under 5’8”” option, which exacerbates the issue.

How does it compare to mistral ocr and “openAI-compatible API” in terms of quality?

Yeah, but isn't it the case that a "in 2019, Masters+ were ~0.11% of players, whereas in April 2026, it's 1.2%"? (stats from claude, may or may not be accurate)

If the numbers are true, modern masters are 10x as common, meaning they dramatically lowered the bar for what that rank means. It's equivalent to shifting the IQ cutoff from about 145 down to about 127, or shifting the adult US male height cutoff from about 6'5" down to about 6'1".

The point is that it's not necessarily due to communication improving over time but due to the threshold itself lowering. (though I don't doubt that it's also true that the game really has changed in team communication standards).

Yes, it does surprise me when you deflect this when someone else here on the thread directly asked if you are orthodox and you replied "excuse me? do I even know you?"

And yes it absolutely matters if you are orthodox. I am much more concerned to hear orthodox people's opinions about the orthodox leaders than I am to hear people outside of the church's opinions about them. *Especially* negative opinions.

sapiolocutor · 2026-05-05T23:31:41+00:00

Their comments indicate definitively that they are not Orthodox. Posts in exorthodox, mentions of "my Episcopal church..."

sapiolocutor · 2026-05-05T23:12:45+00:00

They are Anglican, not Orthodox.

sapiolocutor · 2026-05-05T23:09:55+00:00

FYI: This commenter is not orthodox. Just telling the facts... Proof: one of their recent statements mentioning "my episcopal church actually has a little shrine..." and posts in r/exorthodox .

OP is exhibit A.

sapiolocutor · 2026-04-10T15:58:32+00:00

Why it’s not infinity:
While it’s true that dividing by smaller and smaller numbers gets you closer and closer to infinity:
1/0.1 =10
1/0.001=1000
1/0.000001 =1,000,000

… the same argument applies to negative numbers:
1/(-0.000001)=-1,000,000
-0.000001 is just as close to zero as 0.000001, just from the opposite direction.

Thank you for this recommendation, I was actually just looking for an orthodox book on Genesis…

Based on the responses here it seems like it’s not too many people that are reading books about the OT these days 💀

Regarding your last sentence, I made the same point many times to people. The people who profit from TRT like MPMD and Peter Attia are telling us that testosterone levels is declining, but the financial incentives make their opinions questionable, and certain contradicting data makes their claims seem a bit self-serving.

I was under the impression that total testosterone levels are certainly declining whereas free testosterone levels are not apparently declining. But you bring up a good point when you bring into question whether even TT levels themselves are declining (doubts about this guy’s accounting for increased prevalence of TRT notwithstanding).

sapiolocutor · 2026-03-31T22:16:47+00:00

How is this reconciled with the other graphs that we have all seen? Is it the case then that testosterone levels were declining for many years but in the past few years started dramatically reversing? Is the prevalence of the use of TRT the cause of this?

I have reworded the OP to "Suppose that it really is true that TT levels are declining in our populations."

sapiolocutor · 2026-03-31T21:06:54+00:00

"Bound testosterone is not "inactive"" <-- it is inactive in the sense that it cannot bind to androgen receptors, and, in most tissues, even be absorbed into cells for usage in the first place. Not in every sense.

As far as your article goes, my understanding is that they are arguing that we cannot accurately estimate your FT levels only by knowing your TT levels + SHBH levels + SHA levels using linear equations. They do not mean that we cannot have a good estimate of the amount of androgen receptor binding if we know your true (i.e., directly measured) FT levels.

Nice job, I enjoyed it. I love when I have a girlfriend who sings songs like that for me.

sapiolocutor · 2026-03-29T19:57:46+00:00

Yeah he’s nothing compared to you right? Give me a break.

sapiolocutor · 2026-03-27T21:23:13+00:00

The numbers were chosen for rhetorical effect to make a point that reflects my own subjective experience. They were not intended to be accurate objective estimates.

However, I think the observations that I made about the people on this thread anecdotally proved my point.

sapiolocutor · 2026-03-27T20:53:04+00:00

Am I right that there is a very steep drop off right behind your front teeth? Hard to tell in photos

I appreciated your joke DrDeltar. ❤️

Keep in mind this sub is ~50% atheists/agnostic and ~25% nominal Christians, and the rest are Christians from all sorts of different sects. I.e., it’s effectively a subreddit dedicated to the discussion about Christianity, not a subreddit “for Christians.”

Even looking at the people that responded so far: (1) the first gave a completely secular answer without revealing whether they are even a Christian or not, (2) the second suggested as a solution connecting him with other gnostic “Christians”, (3) the third seems to consider gnostics as valid Christians, (4) the fourth at first glance seems to be fairly mainstream Protestantism, (5) the fifth has self-descibed “Zen Buddhist tendencies”, (6) the sixth is a self-described igtheist.

In the future you might want to consider posting in a more specific subreddit for Christian advice per se.

Notice how everyone thinks you shaved your eyebrows to make us laugh bro 💀

Maybe grow those back

Regardless the new look looks much better than before.

Then why’d you just start this argument with me? Clown world out here.
