Ah, yes another example of the exceptional moral fiber of the religious. The higher standard that the religious hold themselves and their leaders to that makes all of us atheists look bad…
Oh wait that’s never the case. They use their vile faith as a shield from the consequences of their own abhorrent actions. Seriously, can someone differentiate faith and infectious disease for me?
RuneScape 3 (RS3) wasn’t broken when Old School RuneScape (OSRS) was first announced or brought online either. It’s not doing well now, possibly to the point it’d be fair to call it broken, but that’s more of a slow decline over years that didn’t happen to OSRS.
A big part of why OSRS was created was because a lot of people didn’t like the ‘revolutionary’ changes made to RS3 and didn’t like the direction the game was going in. A big part of why it’s still around and now more popular than RS3 is because it’s treated differently by Jagex and its community.
Eh, the same could probably be said of RuneScape but they tried revolutionizing the game and it alienated enough people that as a reaction they started a second game using old code from years before the update that split the community.
Now there’s RuneScape 3 and Old School RuneScape… and Old School has the larger community.
How the hell does anyone reach adulthood and not know their sun sign?!
By simply never caring about this particular superstition when religious and that not changing when abandoning superstition entirely. I don’t care to know what my sign is. It’d be a five second google search but it’s not worth five seconds to me.
Attacked by “demons” in his bed, in a way that looks like animal scratches while his large dogs were in the bed. Yeah, I don’t buy even Cucker Tarlson would be that dumb. Yet more grifting from the professional.
I’ve yet to find any such thing and those that have been presented to me tend to be in the ‘we have insufficient information’ category for why it can’t be clearly determined what happened. People love to wedge the supernatural into those crevices in spite of still not being a good fit.
Seconding custard_swallower. Strict naturalism. I see no reason to believe in any supernatural claim of any kind.
Relatively recently I had a new hypothesis for some of the feelings people attribute to hauntings; bad vibes. I know someone who smokes indoors in their home. Before I had purged supernatural beliefs of all kinds from my worldview I thought there was some kind of curse or haunting wrong with the place. No, it’s the ill effects of third-hand smoke.
Belief in non-theistic supernatural phenomena appears to be a crutch for theistic supernatural belief; it gives a convenient explanation for something so that you don’t exercise your rational faculties to find the real reason and then have the kind of experience that can contribute to unraveling god-beliefs.
Supernatural phenomina could mean that psychics aren’t shysters, that some magicians are defying physics, or ghosts are real. Doesn’t necessarily have to mean there’s a god somewhere. I don’t believe in any of those things but that’s how I read this question.
They’re very consistent about this. It’s logically impossible for them to care less about the plight of the people. They’ve likely never cared to begin with or had conditioning over time to cease caring. No, their only concern is the continued profitability of their donors. No matter how many people that kills.
E-cigs and legal weed could be competitors to legal cigarettes. You know the abhorrent fucking things so bad they’ve “banned” them from advertising but would you look at that, they’re allowed to air PSAs about how bad they are… and make them so “incompetently” that they serve as advertisements for their vile product.
They never have and never will care about us. So, why the fuck do we tolerate them?
These people weather intentionally or not are just advocates for Human suffering. The more this goes on and the more blatant it becomes the less inclined I am to believe that they’re useful idiots, rather that they are willing accomplices.
On so many levels everything about our society needs to be burnt out. No one should tolerate our openly sadistic society.
Yeah,
I’ve taken to saying that we don’t live in a great country, nor a good one, or even an acceptable one. No, what we have is one that should be put out of our collective misery.
Just did some quick checking… it looks like the War on Terror as a whole averages well below the automotive catastrophe annually if we’re looking at even the broad anti-terrorism coalition.
Fuck decorum. I give negative damns about it given the extensive history of it being used as a shield to protect the facilitation of what amounts to mass murder. If dark skinned foreigners did ten percent the damage cars do we’d have used some of the nuclear arsenal but because it’s fucking profitable innocent people die every day and little, if anything, is done about its root causes.
Of course, the fictitious despot of the Abrahamic faiths would have a fond opinion of the real would-be despot of America.
Same, was rather upset when I had to roll with the shitty starting ship for longer because of the nanite charge on the other expedition ships.
Okay, so you’ve got one criteria: Socialized Medicine, care to list out the rest of them for how you determine if something is socialism?
Oct 1, 1949. Communist Party of China establishes the People’s Republic of China.
Then there’s the question of ‘Is China still socialist?’ which depends on what qualifies as socialist.
Magic doesn’t work… and people flip out when someone tries to use things that would.
Yeah, I’ve got a cockpit. The glass is tinted so I can’t see in from outside but it’s pretty plain to see that it’s tinted glass, not an absence of texture.
And dramatically reducing crash survival rates.
