Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Christianity needs an update. Since weed is legal they should add it to sacrament. I mean, after some munchies and wine I'm always down for a joint.42·21 days agothe whole point is to follow the laws of a book
No. The whole point is a relationship with God. The reason we read the Bible is to learn more about God. The Bible isn’t an instruction manual, it’s a biography of God and his people.
No rolls barred on YouTube did a video on hard mode pictionary. You could use some of those ideas.
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many languages can you say Please and Thank You in?8·22 days agoTwo languages. English and Maori.
Thank you in Maori is “kia ora” (key-ah or-ah, but mostly said more like k-your-ah). Literally translates to “be well”, kia meaning be, ora meaning life/wellness.
Please in Maori is a bit less clear. There is the word “koa” (I don’t know how to phonetically write it, but all the letters are pronounced the same as above), but that’s a concept that came with pakeha (European settlers). Before that, it was more about the tone of the request.
Edit: actually I do know more, but English and Maori are the two main languages I know any of.
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•With great power comes great responsibility, but small accountability.22·22 days agoProbably “with great power comes no accountability, and therefore great responsibility”. It’s the lack of accountability that means responsibility is needed.

While I can see where they’re coming from. I’m sure they want you to just be safe.
That said, it’s a terrible idea. How will anyone know how many people hate the current government, if no one speaks up about it. Sure, it can be risky, and the governments most worth speaking up against are usually the ones where it’s the most dangerous, but they’re usually the ones that more people hate.
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•where is it legal to sell kids that you have?1·1 month agoRewind time the child’s age + 9 ish months, then head to a sperm bank

There’s also the “0.25 × 4” thing. ε is set to 0.25, and φ is set to 4. No nuance, no thought about how the economy actually works. Just make it so they can pretend they’re thinking about it how demand will change.
Ah yes, because the eastern front never happened
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The rise of far-right political support among the rich is partly a diversion, so that people start getting more upset at the far right than at being exploited by the rich42·1 month agoA. Opposing far right policy is opposing rich people. They’re choosing policy that let’s them exploit more people with less consequences.
B. You can be upset at multiple things at once. There’s good reason to be against the general “right wing voter” mentality as well as wealth inequality.
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I'm a straight guy who wants to be cute, not handsome. Can I still be attractive despite choosing to be unmanly?22·1 month agoI see no issue here. A man can absolutely be ‘cute’ without being any less of a man. Masculinity isn’t about rugged looks, strength, dominance, or any of that shit. It’s about self confidence (not arrogance, just being comfortable being yourself) and giving to others, both of which you seem to do well.
Honestly, I’m surprised you haven’t found a partner to match you yet.
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why would an all loving god create hell?1·2 months agoA lot of people today can barely learn one language. You’re suggesting that an entire religion’s followers learn Ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, all 3 in dialects that are 2000 years old at the latest. I’m pretty sure God will accept whatever language people happen to read the Bible in.
That said, you do get so much more depth out of the Bible when you look at the original language. From Eve being made from Adam’s side, not just a rib, to King James hiding that God will protect you from the tyrant. I’d love to dive into the original language more, but I’m far from a linguist.
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why would an all loving god create hell?2·2 months agoI can’t say for sure what religion you’re talking about, so I don’t know much of the religious context for this definition of heaven and hell. My issue with this definition is emotions are so much more complex than “happy is good, sad is bad”. A lot of people who have dealt with depression (including myself) will tell you that it’s far worse to feel nothing at all. I’d much rather feel the sorrow or hate, and have help from God to work through those feelings.
I find the Christian (specifically protestant Arminian, and yes that is my religion) answer to this question much better. Basically, hell is the other option to heaven. Heaven is where God is fully present, so there must be somewhere else for those who reject God to go. That place must be fully apart from God, otherwise he would not be honoring their decision, and so he would not be all loving.
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Self-driving autonomous vehicles are probably okay when all other vehicles on the road are also self-driving. It's the mix of Human and Non-human drivers that throws everything off.1·2 months agoAgreed. You go furniture shopping, you can’t really carry a couch back home in the tube. Cars won’t be entirely replaced, but they wouldn’t be needed in most of their current use cases
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Self-driving autonomous vehicles are probably okay when all other vehicles on the road are also self-driving. It's the mix of Human and Non-human drivers that throws everything off.71·2 months agoYes, autonomous vehicles will probably be better drivers than the a stage human when the technology is more mature. As far as I know, in an idealized futuristic city any cars would be autonomous. The issue is that they’re all cars, and so have some inherent problems with efficiency and safety that can’t be fixed by self driving.
The real solution to unsafe roads is trains. Worried about pedestrians? Put the trains underground or up high, where pedestrians aren’t. Crashes? You rarely have two trains in the same place at the same time. Drunk/reckless/otherwise stupid drivers? Trains have much more well trained and vetted drivers. And that’s not talking about all the efficiency side that trains are really good at.
I would honestly love to see something like Paul’s letters, but addressed to the modern American church. Paul didn’t mess around when the churches were acting up.
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People who say water doesn't help after eating piment are just wrong8·2 months agoSo what you’re saying is, the best solution to spicy is vodka
A. Off is an autoantonym. You can turn a light off, meaning deactivate it, or you can set a bomb off, meaning activate it.
B. The worst one: inflammable == flammable.
In normal chess, time doesn’t really exist in the normal way that a dimension works. Using one or more time dimensions in a game means you need to be able to control some movement along that axis. In normal chess, every piece moves one “space” (for lack of a better word) forward in time with each move.
If you want to actually see time dimensions being used in a game, try playing 5d chess with multiverse time travel
