- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
That may be a righteous conviction, but it doesn’t make the document “history” by virtue of no one knowing the events of prehistoric times of, say, Genesis. For instance, would you consider the Iliad or the Odyssey to be history? They have vast historical and cultural importance, but the stories as read do not provide a factual history of events as we understand them.
I’m just trying to convey why people people disagree with you and what position you are hopefully trying to take is they contain historic importance but do not themselves contain a “history” any more than other religious texts or even an X-men comic may.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
If I’m understanding your position, I think a better way to word your answer may have been “as an historic text to provide context for religious beliefs”. “History” comes with the implication that it is truthful to events in the past, not that it was just “written before right now, even if it’s fiction”.

- Comment on "Valve must stop making excuses": Steam under fire for "significant price disparity for PC games," causing regional pricing that's "often 20% to 30% higher than the dollar equivalent" 3 months ago:
Right. The increase is from ~$69, so it’s +~45% more expensive. If it was a decrease from the $101 it would be ~31% cheaper.

Yeah I was curious where the 30% was originating when it looks like 45%

I have not forgotten. I mentioned it was the family’s ability to use that money, not the individual! You are right that it doesn’t change the conclusion though.

Yeah good shout. I gave up after I realized. Thanks!

His investments and stocks do provide income (although not a salary). Regardless, my earlier statement still stands.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 8 months ago:
That’s all well and makes sense to me, but the person I was questioning stated that $350k+/year is not rich. All of those boxes you mentioned could be ticked way lower than that, and this is nearly 10x the median salary of the UK. That roughly means this family has the ability to spend 8x the median individual and still save/invest 2x their salary per year.

What does this mean? By this metric, the wealthiest person in the world is not considered rich. Elon Musk both works and has an income.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 8 months ago:
By what metric? Where would you define rich?

I’m not advocating for it, but it could be just locally run and therefore unable to share anything?
