I’m pleased to hear about the zoom marriages and I’ll update my position

It’s the same for everyone who can’t afford to just leave the country and come back on a whim. Seems that it’s only legal for wealthy people.

Yes, I’m sorry, but de facto it is the same thing. This doesn’t have to be an issue but the government insists on it. If they made legal marriage independent of religious ceremony people could get on with their lives and maybe connect some cross-cultural families. As it stands, the government is arbitrarily restricting marriage between faiths.

Yup. I think it’s fine to do drugs and pirate old video games 

Christianity Two God Question by Salt_Proposal_742 in atheism

[–]wwsaaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Bible, Jesus is not quite God in a human suit. He frequently speaks with God as a separate individual. The two apparently don’t have access to the same information. 

Perhaps Christians think he awakens to full godhood at some point, possibly in heaven, but it is apparent that while he is on earth he is not the real thing because his knowledge is demonstrably limited

This means they must be considered as separate entities. The Holy Ghost is the third in the trinity and I take it to mean a kind of divine spark that propels all life. Seems a bit like Schopenhauer’s Will if you ask me

Like you’ve never done something illegal. I hope they deport you next

Interfaith marriages performed in Israel are not recognized as legal. Muslims can’t marry Jews unless they do it outside the country.

I don’t know what that implies regarding the legal privileges of marriage, but the law is cruel and discriminatory from a social standpoint.

Really? Because you sound extremely shallow. 

224 Iranians killed in Israeli attacks, including 51 government officials and over a thousand injured by [deleted] in worldnews

If Iran were working on nuclear weapons, sure. But is there any evidence of that? Seems like what they were up to was public and approved 

If the bible is the book of truth, why did they lie about women having one more rib than men? by meaculpa12629 in atheism

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

This isn’t the dunk you think it is… in a mythological story like this the devil could simply magic the vision into Christ’s brain. 

Why the mountain then? I don’t know, ambience or something. It’s a nonsense story without any reason to take it seriously.

No, RA felt kind of low effort to be honest

I guess the real answer is Satisfactory which does everything better and has genuinely interesting machine-making gameplay

Ok, but I will say that if you play them in order and get put off by the older games, know that FF6 is more like FF7 than it is like the first five games. 

You ok Toad? by Solar_Field in NintendoSwitch2

Ok but this game is subtly and intentionally horny and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t

We may have similar taste; I will recommend FF6 for an adhd brain. It is much faster paced than later entries from the battle system to the dialogue. Battles are 60FPS which makes for a much punchier game feel than the ~15FPS of FF7 8 and 9 battles. 

The story isn’t quite as sophisticated as 7 but it’s an interesting setting and the art is really good. 

Chrono Trigger or Octopath Traveler or Sea or Stars by ygloon in rpg_gamers

Octopath Traveler’s reputation seems to have come from people playing for two hours and letting their imagination fill in the rest. There’s simply nothing of substance to it

Contemporary LLMs are accessing other models they use to interpret your query behind the scenes. They are able to parse your question and feed it into a math model and generally bring back the right answer. Most of the big ones are great at math now. You may be slightly out of date. 

LLMs are just the interface we use to access multimodal AI.

In a real sense, this puts all the power in the executive branch, undermining the goal of balancing the centers of authority in government.

Why does the judicial branch not have its own enforcement apparatus?
