It seems like you're equating being religious with everything except accepting theistic claims. You can have everything you've mentioned without religion. What OP is asking is why do people accept theistic claims despite there being little to no evidence for them?

I don't have to believe that the sun will rise every morning, but, I do still believe it will rise every morning

You believe it'll rise because you have more than thousands of instances of this happening at the same time every day. You didn't just decide to believe it, you believe it because you found good reasons to believe it.

Try deciding to believe you're a levitating purple dinosaur. I can't, can you?

Ignoring the inherit assumption that religion is de facto an issue or backwards

When it's overwhelmingly the cause of intolerance of LGBTQ rights and opposition of minorities, it arguably is.

The difference is we have evidence that celebrities exist

Hard disagree. Religion has a measurable impact on people voting against the rights of minorities, and it deserves every bit of scrutiny it has coming its way.

It's not like Bigfoot or flat earth. This shit is having serious consequences for others, physically and mentally.

Personally I don't see what the afterlife has to do with your purpose or sense of meaning in this life. For me, I figure my purpose is whatever I find fulfilling in life while hopefully helping others do the same. Anything that comes after that is a bonus.

I believe in a lot of human concepts, ...

We believe in those things because they're practices we can observe and measure. The real question is why do theists not have the same standard of evidence for theistic claims.

I also believe when I sit down that the chair below me really exists ...

Your trust (or "faith") in the chair existing and supporting your weight is because of your experience with chairs in the past. I don't think many people would say they have "absolute certainty" the chair exists and would hold them.

If you had a history of hallucinating you might have a higher standard of evidence, but it's still there to be tested. The problem with religion is it seems like you need a standard of "none at all" to accept theistic claims.

Finally, someone like Ayn Rand shows ...

"They do it too" doesn't really get us to an answer, just another "why" question. She believes her claims with little to no evidence, theists believe their claims with little to no evidence, but like...why?

They going to ban pork products and all shellfish too? Or are we cherry picking here...

Ooooh I thought the ratio in question was upvote to downvote lol. The part about mods went over my head.

Is that a blind kitty? Either way, dang, those pupils!

I don't get it

Sort of, but no. They're transparent because of the frame blending. Since moving objects/characters occupy different parts of the foreground across multiple frames, the background ends up getting blended into them. They call that "ghosting" because it effectively makes them transparent.

So they do lose opacity, but it's not like they're lowering an opacity value or anything.

Maybe we should call them NFAs, Non Fungible Assets. Since it's the same idea without the "Token" part.

I feel like it'd probably be better to group based on performance. I don't see why this wouldn't work for pretty much all 1v1/FFA/small-team sports/games.

It's an anti-seizure measure. Which makes sense for TV where kids might come across it by accident, but it doesn't make sense for streaming services where we could easily opt in/out of those versions.

Edit: This is what it looks like, compared to Blu-ray. They dim the whole screen and blend multiple frames together, which makes it hard to decipher what's going on and mutes the colors. (Another):

Expecting your stuff to remain private online is like leaving your belongings on the sidewalk and expecting nobody to touch them.

My story but with anime. Japan has some really annoying laws requiring their shows to be blurred and dimmed during fast-paced scenes and it absolutely butchers the height of good animations.

The Blu-ray releases don't have this issue, but guess what releases aren't available for purchase/streaming for English audiences. 🫠 I want to give them money so bad, but 🤷‍♀️

I'm a very big fan
