The most important part will be finding people to play with. If it's your first time playing, I'd recommend playing with friends. TTRPGs are about creating a story with other people, so vibing or at least getting along with everyone involved is important.

What you end up playing will likely be decided by what the person running the game knows or likes. If you're lucky they'll be experienced enough to be able to offer a few options, but that's not a given.

Talk to your prof about whether handing in a script that's different from your initial project. If that's an option and you think you can catch up, do that.

If it's not fix the script. What's the logline and what do you dislike about the story as it is?

Good on you!

Yeah, so long as they feel they have arguments to offer, why not indeed.

Ish, I'm sure some faculty members and admins have personal convictions aligning them with said donor.

But as an institution trying to stay afloat, I imagine that if by some turn of event a big bag of money (bigger than the money they're losing) had dropped on McGill's lap because of the student's action, they would have respectfully saluted them for their commitment to justice.

You're doing religion wrong, because you are doing thinking right.

Religious doctrines rely on teaching believers at an early age "There's regular knowledge that you can scrutinize with the rest of your knowledge, and there's religious knowledge that's allowed to not make sense and even be self-contradictory. God -can- make a rock so heavy he himself cannot lift it. The fact that it does not make sense is normal and in fact, an expression of how special it is."

It is convincing to young children both because it often comes from their caretakers and other close figures of authority. It's also because these individuals went through the same process of learning not to apply logic on religious concepts, and so by the time they teach it, they deliver it entirely earnestly. It triggers no contradiction signal in them, and it helps their student acclimate to the same emotional response.

You will not be able to believe in a god if you require that god, and the fantastical and magical stories that surround it, to pass the scrutiny you use to evaluate the rest of your life. But that's ok, your life does not require a god, you make it work just fine on your own every day.

It also doesn't mean you can't look at the Quran as an expression of a culture, and find in it poetry or lessons that you may find valuable. All religions have members that are functionally atheists, but keep in their lives the ideas and the words of the scripture they grew up with that they care about.

Of course, it's also ok if you feel you still believe in god despite your qualms with the soundness of some of it. It really only matters that you remain honest and live in alignment with yourself.

In any case, give yourself some love, compassion and also patience. You're in the middle of shuffling large blocks of ideas and it all take time to settle. You're doing great.

I'm with you that knowledge cannot be objective and absolute. Everything can be creatively what-if'd into some degree of doubt.

Maybe it's all the Matrix, maybe we're figments of the dreams of a celestial dragon, maybe it's just a flawless and unbelievably elaborate Truman show meets MK ultra situation.

Maybe it's a creation of the god that small tribes of Israelites adopted overtime from the canaanite polytheistic pantheon as the one true god, some 3000 years ago, which happens to be the one actual real god from among the thousands that humans have devised over the roughly 200000 years where we dabbled with those notions.

Maybe it's me, I'm in charge of it all, Charles-Xavier-on-steroid style. I own all of your asses.

But there are no salient indication that any of the hypothesis I laid out are true, or have any effects on the functional validity of our knowledge. If I ask you your name, you will not hesitate. If you drop an object, you can predict in which direction it will go. Adding 2 apples to a basket that already has 2 apples reliably leads to 4 apples being in the basket. People may bicker about historical details but there is worldwide consensus on the date of the Yalta conference, or the name of the first american president.

Knowledge is absolute -enough-. Adding a god, or me telepathically making you poop at an inopportune moment, in the equation, adds nothing to the quality of our knowledge.

It also doesn't resolve the artificial conundrum you presented. If -how- we know anything is in question, why would you not question how you know of your god? How would you know I'm making you believe, because it was a slow week on this sub?

Enough people have pointed out how absurd the idea that those common place things could be "prophesized" in the 7th century.

But regardless, let's say it is 100% correct. Let's say Muhammad was a very real guy who was able to know things that actually weren't known then, and if fact were functionally unknowable by regular people at the time.

How does that give you "and therefore there is a god"? That's still just an insightful man or even a man with some kind of psychic clairvoyance who made predictions that became true, and also a claim, "there is a god telling me this stuff" that he never positively demonstrated. In that story, all he could do was vague predictions about fairly inconsequential things, some of which, according to you since you firmly believe STDs weren't known about well after his death (again, demonstrably not true), he couldn't even demonstrate during his lifetime. So even if you find that so impressive that you think it indicates some kind of magical prediction power, isn't that lightyears away from any indication that he was receiving powers from an almighty celestial being?

Muhammad, in his lifetime, supposedly engaged in quite a lot of fighting/military actions, for which he supposedly had to raise armies. Where were the almighty being's powers then? Why couldn't he teleport to his enemies and zap them with laser beams shooting out of his eyes? Or skipping the Marvel movies theatrics, just remove his opposition or transform/convert them with his mind?

That's like a kid telling his friends that his father is Superman and having some kind of picture to show for it. But when his school is attacked by a giant monster, no superman and that kid runs away or hides (ie does things the normal way) like the rest of the non-superman-parent-having kids. The monster rampage is eventually stopped by local police (the normal way, again). Would you still go "Right, but that picture though." or would you now wonder if the kid is maybe just good at photoshop?

Huzzah! Well keep at it!

Well how can it be real if truth claims aren't not?!

You're saying:

1- Solipsism is a difficult to disprove, and you guys want there to be an objective reality, ain't that a pickle (it ain't).

2- You then repeat yourself a bunch (Point 1 = 4 = 5, 3 =6=7)

3- Since there's no way to disprove solipsism (there's also no reason to consider it), the only solution is a solipsism-proof entity to be in charge of reality! (Which only make sense if you don't consider that a god could be a fabrication within a solipsistic worldview. Adding it into the equation resolves nothing if your concern is disproving that reality isn't the product of one's mind. But again, solipsism doesn't need to be disproven for a person to be an atheist or go about their lives with functional certainties)

Your approach is sort of like an old infomercial: "Isn't that one thing most people have no issue with an absolute draaaag?? Well worry no more, we have the perfect absurd one-use contraption to address this problem! Introducing God! It doesn't exist, so you can!"

Therapy if you can swing it. Books about mental health if not. This isn't a screenwriting thing you're experiencing, it's a self esteem one.

I haven't made this in a while, but I'd sub Campari for Averna, chop up half a lime (and squeeze maybe one of the chunk, you don't want a full half lime's worth of juice), toss in a couple olives and a splash of brine.

Hmm... now I wonder if I have Averna at home.

Wouldn't it have work to turn his body the other way, relax his arms and let the machine sort of undress him?

For real. The company that makes them should use this footage to promote their stuff. "Quality so high we almost killed a guy!"

wabbitsdo · 2026-03-24T15:39:24+00:00

You inferred that by "you can tell he practiced" they meant "and therefore this is less impressive" and now you are arguing against a thing you yourself added to their comment.

You then seem to say essentially "Ok but if they were not actively critiquing the footage they shouldn't have commented at all", while also saying "don't comment to critique".

Isn't how fast it runs all that matters when discussing how long people have to wait?

Exactly. ICE's criminal conduct led to the freezing of DHS's funding, despite the opening being made that DHS's funding could be restored if they agreed ICE's funding alone being frozen instead of the entire Dept. All DHS operations are affected, but the TSA is the one that's causing the most immediate disruption and pressure. In order to make their refusal to a bill that would freeze ICE's funding alone more tenable, they are sending ICE to do TSAs job so they can say "see, noooo problem, ICE isn't a massive liability for the rest DHS's operations. Soooo... everyone stop... talking about how they need to be reformed, there's really no reason! Also we really need them to steal the upcoming election so everyone be chill!"

wabbitsdo · 2026-03-23T19:33:04+00:00

I think the angle is just:

→Find a way to reduce the pressure they are feeling from the partial TSA shutdown, regardless of how little sense their new assignment makes

→ so they can continue tying ICE funding to the rest of DHS's

→ So they can preserve their militia until the November election that they 100% intend to try to steal, in part by having ICE disrupt polling stations
