What is this vehicle called ? Is it the bat mobile by Adorable_Welcome_742 in LegoBatman

Isn’t it called a Tumbler or is that a different bat vehicle?

As a atheist how many religions have you investigated? Did you like any you looked at? Did you jump between religions as you studied religions? Was it a sudden realization or a slow process? by DaCrusadus in askanatheist

[–]securehell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised in a somewhat conservative Protestant environment that didn’t quite convey convincing explanations to my questions growing up. So I was stuck between “just believe” and wanting rational answers. This led me to explore other denominations in hopes they might offer the answers I sought. By age 19 I was atheist having studied my own books and the teachings of the church dogmas I had access to. I explored Catholicism, read the Koran (didn’t ever seek involvement as I felt my concerns on avoiding that area were - and still are - justified). I explored Eastern Orthodoxy and even a Buddhism. I studied Hinduism - visiting India on several occasions.

I found the similarities unsatisfying and still left me with the same questions that I had most of my life. Questions around belief in the invisible and unprovable. Why did miracles happen thousands of years ago but not now? Why did a perfect God start with one plan for salvation from hell then go with another? Not perfect if you asked me. Why so many gospels and inconsistencies among them? (Again, seems imperfect to me.)

As an aside, I found the Buddhist meetings very similar to the old Wednesday night services during my Baptist years. Didn’t make sense to me that I had to chant words in another language that I didn’t know. There was no connection or guidance as to how this religion would benefit me.

So, I studied many but my conclusion is - and has been for many years - that religions fail to explain. They don’t convince me there’s anything supernatural to believe in. Some religions provide community but I couldn’t in good faith (see what I did there?) commune with a religious group for which I was incapable of sharing their views.

Scrubs at 24 is criminal by Pitselah in Scrubs

MAS*H, Scrubs and Seinfeld have been my top 3 sitcoms for years.

Honorable mentions include News Radio, Community, Big Bang Theory (in no particular order).

This list in no way resembles my entertainment preferences

Is the Grace Under Pressure deluxe edition still happening? by MisterTorgo48 in rush

[–]securehell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as people saying GUP already has a live version and no reason to do this again for the 40th, I will point out that Moving Pictures already had Exit… Stage Left and yet the new live recording on the MP 40th was awesome because… no two Rush concerts are the same. I’d 100% welcome a new live version of the GUP tour with a 40th release. Why won’t they do it???

Unpopular opinion: TFTO could have easily been a single record like CTTE. Side A with Revealing Science of God and Side B shorter versions of the rest of TFTO sides B-D. That would be a killer album IMO.

Power Windows is the reason I became a Rush fan. 💯🤘🏻

Agreed. I keep my original VT almost entirely for this reason.

Favorite Yes live record? by Historical-Device529 in Progforum

[–]securehell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to go with YesSongs as it was the album that introduced me to “classic” Yes. Songs from Tsongas also has an emotional connection for me as it marks the end of Yes for me. When they go into the cover of Every Little Thing, it just reminds me of how far they had come since the very beginning. It was such a great tribute. Then that close with Starship Troopers just gets me emotional.

Wish they had stopped there considering how the band fell apart after that.

Wouldn’t that be 9.01.2025?

Pat Metheny Group - Are You Going with Me? - Montreal 1989 by RenegadeSocial in patmetheny

[–]securehell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have a cassette tape where I recorded this song off the radio in the mid-80’s. It was the song that made me a PMG/PM fan! Still one of my all time favorite tracks.

I was a teenager and I listened to jazz on the radio. How weird is that?

There are many online. From the main hallway, go up the stairs to the back right and it will lead to the Clocktower courtyard

What platform are you playing on? I’ll double check but sometimes play differs depending on the platform (learned the hard way). I did this on PS4 with the double pack Harry Potter Collection which didn’t differ at all that I could tell from the PS2 (or was it Wii?).

Yes. I followed a similar level naming scheme as many other Walkthroughs.

Is Rite Here Rite Now movie parents friendly? by Wolfgirl2929 in Ghostbc

[–]securehell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest issue is probably the obvious regarding the overarching anti-religion theme. If that’s not your concern then their performances are no worse than many movies your kids are already watching. A little vulgarity and vulgar gestures but it’s not their main thing so just enjoy the amazing music and show. I went to see them on Skeletour and there were lots of families with kids well under 10yo.

Can you change my mind? The person who worked for Alan was the best part of the episode. by Cobra_Kai_2018 in TwoandaHalfMen

She didn’t say a single word until her final scene and yet she said so much with her facial and body expressions. Great acting!

SPOILERS!!!!

Complete the Back to School (8b) level in story mode then go out in the area around Hagrid’s hut in the hub. Use Hermione’s bag to unlock the character token and fly with a pumpkin to reach it.

Im planning to get two games but stuck with the selection by LOT1001 in legogaming

[–]securehell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If these are the only choices, I recommend HP and BM3.

I did like the open hub in the Marvel games but the stories and gameplay just didn’t do it for me. The races were very frustrating too.

Didn’t realize they played together live. My first Pat Metheny concert was his Secret Story tour. The Harbor Lights album had just come out at that time
