FWIW this happens a lot on Sync too

You want lemmy to turn into Reddit and have a super power mod max perma ban you because you didn't follow rule 54038 of the side bar, but actually it was because the mod didn't like you and was having a bad day ?

Been there, and I hear ya

What? The current events are an attempt on someone's life with the goal of saving what semblance of democracy we have left.

Did y'all seriously miss the memo? It's pretty obvious what he meant if you haven't been under a rock for the last 24hrs.

I'm down

Reminds me of the people who taught their bird to say "mom beats me! oOoOoOoOo"

Idk, man. If I were in that position, I feel like I'd be sick to my stomach when I got old enough to understand that I was asking for a parent to sacrifice their freedom for a night of entertainment.

Tradesies? 👉👈🥺

Thanks for the mid-day existential crisis

Why are you showing me a circle

Einstein believed in "Spinoza's god", which is essentially just nature and the laws that govern the universe. It's not the same as believing in an anthropomorphic God and putting faith in scripture.

This is one of those reasons I always call myself an agnostic instead of atheist.

Those aren't mutually exclusive terms. "Agnostic" answers whether you know a god exists, and "atheist" answers whether you believe a god exists.

I don't know of any gods, and I don't believe any exist, so I'm an agnostic atheist.

That's right. Then after the Israelites were freed, Moses, claiming to be speaking for God, gave them permission to take slaves of their own from the nations around them. Before that, they were told how merciless they could be when bludgeoning those slaves.

The Bible portrays this as moral behavior, and the excuses you've given me aren't convincing. I don't think there is any excuse for it, but I'm all ears if you want to give it a shot.

The most reliable way to lose faith isn't through science, it's reading their holy text.

In general, nothing about science ever shakes a theist's faith, and I doubt it ever will. Reason being: the moment science breaks new ground, religion retreats further back into the unknown. As long as there is an unknown, theists will have something to take shelter from.

##Old Testament

#####Exodus 21:20-21 (NIV):

"And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money."

##New Testament

#####Ephesians 6:5 (NIV):

"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ"

#####1 Timothy 6:1 (NIV):

"All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered. Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves."

Violent silence coming from @MuntedCrocodile@lemm.ee lmao

When I joined in MoP it was still peer-to-peer by default

After finishing these two fights (I'm at the Nameless Puppet now🫠), however, I kind of feel like I've robbed myself of a "worthy" victory because it was soo much easier with the summons than without them.

There is no "right way to play," just what you find most satisfying. There's merit to both this and playing without summons.

If you don't have the patience to pull off a more satisfying victory you can always go back and beat them solo later.

I'm a very big fan.

If you're interested in videogames at all, playing some multiplayer games could help. TV/books are great too, but I think chatting online would give you a realistic dialogue to learn from, and having a common goal with the other players should give you plenty of opportunities to contribute to the dialogue.

And as a bonus, you'll probably learn lots of creative insults haha
