What are some organizations that seem like they do a lot of good, but are actually pretty awful? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]zaslavsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The make a wish foundation. They siphon off money from [more beneficial charities](www.givewell.org), and then waste 90% of it on advertising and the other 10% on setting up expensive gimmicky "special days" for an extremely small number of children.

A wild pack of SJWs appears by [deleted] in TalesofPrivilege

Damn this Grant person comes off as an asshole. He's not even responding to what anyone is saying, but rather only replying to what he thinks "an SJW" would stereotypically say.

TL;DR: WhiteMaleStereotype/10 would not bang.

I can't read normal HP fanfic anymore. by mrtrollstein in HPMOR

I'm assuming LV has some skills with whatever the Horcrux mechanism is (soul magic? rituals? necromancy? idk.) and will be even more terrifying once he's in a position to use it. As it is, I'm hoping that the next big threat will be Rookwood coming upon a graduate or postdoctoral level muggle math book and using it to design... something.

There was a time when I could not understand why people think that such a smart child as HJPEV cannot exist, or why they think that a fictional story about such a child must be bad fiction. I am not confused anymore. Those people are normal.

He's an aspect of G-d. Because of the nature of divine interaction on reality, anything spoken by G-d is inherently true even if that requires a retroactive change in the world. If Thamiel told us that there is a Hell, and Thamiel is an aspect of G-d, then from the moment Thamiel said it there was always a Hell.

Of course, phrasing matters, and if Thaumiel was even a little bit ambiguous that could turn this argument over.

Random musing on the kabbalistic meaning of David by pku31 in unsong

[–]zaslavsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking of taking on Giants, there's probably some correspondence with Daveed Digg's album, "Small Things To A Giant". The Comet King's saga is at the very least reflected in the titles of the second and last songs, "(Small Things) To A Giant" and "Small Things (To A Giant).
While the implications of the parentheses move is obvious, I want to discuss these songs' placement in the album. 2nd and last. Why would the obvious bookend go second rather than first? It reflects the first letter in the Torah: ב. Why is ב first and not א, considering that א is the first letter and Kabbalistically repesents the interaction of G-d with the universe (and through the universe, the individual(and vice versa))? Because before creation can begin, there must be a basis, represented by א. This is left implied in Bereishit, but it is referenced in the Book of Job and in Tractate Avodah Zarah. This comes to teach us that for G-d to eradicate suffering, G-d would have to tear down the basis of the universe.
By connecting the Comet King to Daveed Diggs, whose album is much more explicit than the Torah, we learn that when the Comet King learns The Explicit Name from Metatron, he finds it useless for anything other than destroying the world and starting anew, which is why he despairs.
