- Comment on Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images) 4 weeks ago:
I’d say option 3. Personally, I don’t care if random websites get my IP among a list of hundreds of others, and if someone wants to keep their IP hidden from strangers, they should be using a VPN before browsing the net anyways. It’d also be nice not to have to open another instance when I come to a post with a broken image that I want to see, but that’s not hugely important to me.
If it were an instance specifically for privacy enthusiasts, that’d be a different story, but this is a general-purpose instance, and option 3 seems to be what’s best for both general users and the server itself.

I read “3cm” as “Jam” somehow and was very confused. For a bit, I thought the raisins were holes to inject the jam into to make a jam-filled cookie.
- Comment on I always get them confused. 1 month ago:
I don’t know who writes it, and I wouldn’t exactly call it a masterpiece (though to be fair, I am reading translations,) but it is a fun premise. I started reading it because it’s one of the few sources of official Hatsune Miku lore (though ultimately everything is canon,) but the stories focus more on the human characters, with the vocaloids mostly just being there to support. Still, the stories can be compelling.
At this point, half the reason I’m still reading is for the human characters, and the other half is to find details on the premise, such as how it works with thermodynamics, whether the cafe world has an economy, how biological the vocaloids are (do they need to eat?), and how long it’s going to be before anyone finds out that their bestie/sibling/trainer/etc has their own virtual world too (they don’t do a great job of keeping it secret, but they also don’t do a great job of investigating.)

Context made me think it was going to be a pelican trying to eat a baby. But no, that was a fun watch.
- Comment on If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine? 1 month ago:
Yes. The power to do literally anything would allow one to do this.
- Comment on I always get them confused. 1 month ago:
I’ve been reading stories from the Hatsune Miku rhythm game app, that almost straddles the line between urban fantasy and unexplained sci-fi. The premise is that instances of the vocaloids live in personalized virtual worlds for different (small) groups of humans. The humans can teleport to these worlds by playing a special song on their phone, or the vocaloids can project themselves as holograms from the humans’ phones. It’s almost sci-fi because it mostly works within constraints of technology. For example, you get booted out of the virtual world if your phone runs out of battery, and if your phone gets shorted out, it can prevent the vocaloids from projecting themselves until the phone is repaired (though if the phone still works otherwise, they can voice chat.) Also the special song can be transferred to different machines and still works. But then what makes it more fantasy is that the song and worlds are created from the humans’ feelings (and if they lose the song, a new copy will appear for them,) and it works without internet connection (if one member of a group is stranded and another isn’t, they could have a vocaloid relay a message.) And then just recently I read a chapter where some characters were able to access their virtual world through their dreams, without needing the song file in the first place. For me, that’s what completely tipped the scale into urban fantasy.

Well, if you have a bad comment that’s going to get heavily downvoted, it’s funny to see that not even you upvoted yourself. Like “yeah, even I think my opinion here stinks.”

- Comment on Veggitale facts 2 months ago:
Exodus 20:2-17? Deuteronomy 5:6-21? They’re exactly what Sunday School told me they were (and what I’ve found through reading the Bible on my own,) and there are exactly 10. Is there supposed to be some kind of gotcha there? “You shall not murder” is written there plain as day. What are you trying to say?
Are you trying to draw attention to the fact that God’s judgment is fearsome? Because that’s a thing, God is both fearsome and forgiving. His wrath is justified because His judgment is unerring, while we shouldn’t pass judgment because we are flawed. His forgiveness is offered because He doesn’t want to see us go to Hell, while many do anyways because they don’t accept it.
I guess a lot of people try to sugercoat the Bible and downplay God’s judgment because it’s not fun to tell people hard truths, but that’s not a fair portrayal, and it can lead to crises of faith when people have an image of a super chill pacifist God and then read about things like Noah’s ark.

Slavery: Not condoned, not condemned, just regulated. See here for details. But that’s a fair argument to make.
Incest: Only condoned in the early generations of humanity when it was necessary, directly condemned afterwards. I guess I can see how you’d be confused if you heard about it secondhand, but any familiarity with the cases in question ought to show this. Incest in and of itself (discounting other problems like rape and pedophilia it tends to coincide with) is a problem primarily because it leads to a higher incidence of genetic defects, and there were no genetic defects in the first batch of humans as God created them perfectly.
Murder: Obviously against the ten commandments. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Is it the death penalty? Are you trying to gish gallop me? I don’t mind answering your points, but I’d appreciate it if you be more specific so I don’t have to guess what you’re referring to in order to address it.
Divine right: In the strictest sense, that God gives authorities their right to rule, sure, but they’re not above accountability like divine right typically says. The Bible says to follow the laws of men only where they do not conflict with the laws of God.
Genocide: That’s a tricky one, where the Israelites were to wipe out the Canaanites. I don’t have a good answer for it. What I do know is that God’s judgment is righteous, and that this one case is not justification for genocides at human convenience (though non-Christians might interpret it that way, including but not limited to a certain state. I’m not defending them.)
Also, just so we’re clear, incest is gross, but it’s not fascist.
- Comment on Veggitale facts 2 months ago:
Well, if you wanna call the religion evil, you do you I guess, but at least be accurate about it. The Bible doesn’t condone fascism (in fact, much of the point of the New Testament is that laws are not the way to save people,) so using christofascist as a term to refer to Christianity in general is diluting the definition of fascism. If you wanna use that term to refer to the people who use Christian branding as an excuse to push fascist laws, that’s fine, just don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.
- Comment on Veggitale facts 2 months ago:
Are we using christofascist as a way to call Christianity fascist now, or did I miss some fascist messaging in VeggieTales?

Speaking of, did you know that there’s a Chrome extension that turns random links into rickrolls?
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rickroll-extension/ljkcmgibdnmdjdfpbggohpophnkiajfmOr, if you’re a firefox user, maybe:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rickrollifyI haven’t tried either of them, but I think the concept is neat. I’m a fan of doing a little self-pranking now and then.
