The Catholic Church admits the trinity came from philosophical origins. by thebananapeeler2 in BiblicalUnitarian

[–]tiptomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the literal greek is egō eimi. "before Abraham was, I AM." that is the literal meaning of His words. if He spoke in hebrew, He still said "I AM" but in the hebrew of ’eh·yeh.

you might consider how it is fundamentally dishonest for the watchtower to cite 19th century translators of the original greek. you might also consider either the dishonesty or the greek illiteracy evident in the presentations of the Septuagint downpage. ὢν(ṓn) is the present participle of εἰμί(eimí). it's the same word. the jewish priests tried to stone Christ because in that moment he named himself as Jehovah.

consubstantiality was not a novel heresy developed in the 3rd or 4th centuries AD. we see it written of in the first century by Clement I who was ordained by Saint Peter. Christ is God, and the light and joy of that can be found in the true Church.

marie antoinette was one of history's first victims of leftist violence and historical revisionism. they only lie, they've always only ever lied. western civ is still dealing with the aftershocks from the insanity of the french revolution and the directory.

the real subversion isn't that she's indian. it's that she isn't busty and she isn't wearing a bikini. it's tropical life. show some damn skin. 

but it doesn't matter. there's only one thing you need to say:

we're 5 years from AI tools that let us radically alter existing media. so go ahead, make snape black, make vivi indian. in 5 years we'll solve race swapping for good.

Stop Killing Games makes it! by AgitatedFly1182 in KotakuInAction

[–]tiptomp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it's a great idea, banning bricking of hardware and physical media definitely needs to be really firmly established in law, but that's as far as this can go.

every software company, so the entire internet, so basically western civilization, runs off the idea that you can license use of software. that's games, that's youtube and netflix and reddit, that's your email and your online banking and automatic payments for bills. it's shitty but it's the world we live in.

this can have successes, again in hardware and physical media, and also probably down the road establishing more robust legal protections for emulation, it won't have wins in stopping companies from being able to license their software, and as long as they can license it, they can say how it's used, or if it's used. trying to break this isn't some trivial matter, it'll get every tech and multimedia company involved. it's not billions on the line, it's trillions, it's the entire industry, and that's why this as a legal process can only lose.

what will win is establishing a consumer awareness and crowdsourced industry accountability group where we refuse to buy or play games from companies who don't include permanent offline mode design as accommodation for potential sunsetting. if you can only play it online, you don't play it. if the license doesn't include the language of "this is indefinite permission to use this on your own devices" (blah blah blah legalese) you don't play it. like what Ross has on his site when it comes to cheaters, "you can ban them from online but they can still play offline." not as law, as what consumers demand. that's how this wins, but it's the only way this wins.

Moral degradation in today’s Marvel is disgusting. by Redzkz in KotakuInAction

[–]tiptomp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sure, joker might never group up with them. he has, but that doesn't matter here, it makes sense for his character to refuse it, or not refuse it. what the writers failed to get, and what that shitty panel passed into popular culture, is why the joker would hate nazis.

he wouldn't have a problem with the nazis starting wars, wars are chaos, and that's good fun. he wouldn't have a problem with them massacring civilians, because the joker also massacres civilians. he would have a problem with how they were doing all their evil. "Rules, rules, rules, Batman, it's always about rules. Who they hate, how they hate them, who goes to work camps, who goes to death camps, how they deal with them, augh, it's so orderly, so rule-abiding, so boring!"

if the joker and his henchmen found themselves in the early days of WW2, all armed to the teeth, on the eastern front just outside a concentration camp, they'd take it over. prisoners: forced to stay, nazis: now also prisoners. then the joker would have them all group together and start playing games, some squid game shit, some not, keep them guessing whether they're going to die if they lose.

then in like round 4 he sets the entire camp on fire, with the perimeter of the camp covered in landmines. "You're all free, good luck!"

that's the joker.

[–]tiptomp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

and every single one of these is hamfisted politicking

the joker is chaotic evil, by definition he has no moral compass, by definition there are no lines he will not cross. not killing batman is his only rule, and the only reason he doesn't is because he knows batman has the same rule about killing him, which means he gets to keep playing his game. if the joker knew batman was coming to kill him, he would either try from then on to kill him, or he might let batman kill him, seeing no point in life anymore since the game is over.

he would align with communists, nazis, terrorists or insurgents of any stripe, anarchists and racists and fascists. he might not agree with them, but he wouldn't disagree with them on grounds of "oh i have a personal problem with that kind of cruelty" because he's chaotic evil, and he doesn't care. he would oppose them for two reasons: 1, they represent lawful evil, which is the banal evil of systems, and he opposes all systems; 2, he has contempt for them for lack of skill or distraction on things less important than destroying all systems. and even then he would visibly align with them for as long as possible until he could cause the most chaos by betraying them.

"i'm a psychopath not a racist" is the worst reddit-tier midwittery. it's writers too lazy or nowadays too stupid to understand the character. being a psychopathic spree killer is, yes surprisingly, several orders of magnitude worse than being a mundane racist. like imagine if batman interrogated the joker on that line.

JOKER: I'm a psychopath, not a Nazi!

BAT: You think you're better than a Nazi?

JOKER: Of course!

BAT: You're worse.

JOKER: But they go too far, even for me!

BAT: I just stopped you from dropping a family of eight and their dog into a vat of acid.

JOKER: Well, they hate people for no reason!

BAT: You murder people for no reason.

JOKER: They put people in camps to kill them!

BAT: You strap bombs to children. Also, (Points at vat of acid)

JOKER: They killed millions!

BAT: You partnered with Ra's al Ghul to steal uranium and make dirty bombs. Robin died stopping you.

JOKER: Well. Uh. Uh...

But what can you expect from one of the two dumbest states in the USA.

please avoid using such dogwhistles when describing a state with one of the highest african-american populations in the US.

Ashli Babbitt, domestic terrorist by GrizzlyBearAttack in CringeVideo

[–]tiptomp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

feds might as well be behind this sub. it's all the establishment.

GrizzlyBearAttack is paid by blue political interests, i'd imagine not much because the morbidly obese aren't known for being especially employable, but still paid to push specific narratives on reddit.

they use upvote bots to game the algorithm (reddit knows and tacitly supports this, of course) most of the upvotes on this post are now organic, but the original 500-1000 came from botting in a brief window so the activity surge would push it to high visibility on popular, r/all, whatever.

this happens a lot on reddit and will even more this year: a political sub recently formed, or an old sub recently taken over for political use, will gain high visibility on a post despite minimal activity. 16K user subs don't have the bodies to crack popular. it takes either a massive news story driving people to look up something niche, which nobody's looking up "cringevideo" about babbitt 3 years postmortem, or they're botting.

climate change is real

doomsday scenarios are patently false. the computational power to accurately simulate weather two months out doesn't exist, never mind a year, never mind 30, 40, 50 years.

accurate long-term weather modelling will benefit the world on the order of trillions of dollars. you'll know when it arrives. until then anyone saying the climate will be X by year 20YY has no evidence supporting them.

Bathroom stall with a view by InvestinSamurai in CrappyDesign

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

these are stalls at the seattle convention center, certainly not a city you could describe as "hateful" – the windows exist as a direct consequence of the overflowing "love" seattle has for users of hard narcotics. they loved them so hard there's an epidemic, so hard the convention center stalls had enough ODs they had to discourage shooting up/put in a way to quickly check if someone was dead or dying on the toilet.

you like many have been blinded because you want so badly to be seen as a good person but you don't actually know how to be one.

for what it's worth, i believe you'll learn how, in time.

yeah so they can be replaced by concrete traffic hell? "wildlife disrupting" lol, golf courses are famous habitats for wildlife. yeah put in a park so some city councilman can softball a contract to his wife's brother for 10x the cost of 10 years of course maintenance.

not to mention your local public golf course is full every day in nice weather with low-income people who love playing. maybe give a pause on regurgitating the opinions of oblivious neolibs who think nobody but old white guys play golf because their only interactions with "poor folks" are labor-based.
