- Comment on Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate? 2 weeks ago:
I got that impression from this part of your comment
that’s where the collection plate likely originates from.
The idea of donating in church or donating to a spiritual leader is waaaaaaaay older and recorded

Christian religions flow the teachings of Jesus who followed/was aware of/modified the teachings of Judaism, which already had centuries of tithing already established. Dude didn’t invent it.

Tithing is in the old testament. It’s from a long time before Señor Christ.
- Comment on Why does a community called no stupid questions allow comments that say the question is stupid? 2 weeks ago:
Have you ever heard the expression/joke:
There’s no stupid questions, except that one?
I take it that way. And mods can only work so fast, like others have said.
For what it’s worth, I think you had an interesting question in the other thread and the replies were overall either unhelpful, dumb in-and-of-themselves, or aggressive in the way that shows a person is just angry cause they can’t answer for their own beliefs in a good way and they know it

Given the community it was posted in, I assumed good faith. A quick Google of the terms used seemed to point to either someone taking theory too far or I was really missing something.

You can think all you want bud, but you’re not approaching the problem correctly. To get to that low level you gotta get more specific. Also, could just use Google
- Comment on Is the damsel in distress trope just independent? 5 weeks ago:
The answer is that people of any demographic are not homogeneous and will have different beliefs and values. Your question is too high level to go any deeper than that. The rest of the nonsense you’re couching it behind is useless. People are people. Sonder.
- Comment on Is the damsel in distress trope just independent? 5 weeks ago:
I think you’ve got that backwards. “People are different and think different things” is the constant and the rest of what’s you’re drilling into is an attempt to discover the pattern in it.
So let’s go Socratic: why are you asking this?
- Comment on Is the damsel in distress trope just independent? 5 weeks ago:
As a layman who had to look up half that bullshit, I think you’re coming across something much simpler that cant and shouldn’t be solved by one of your theorems: people are different and think different things. With beliefs, there are many truths.

What do you mean by “independent”?

1 petabit is 125000 gigabytes. The article is confusing bytes (B) with bits (b). Doesn’t bode well for accuracy.

Context matters. Always. One person can use a word and it will be not racist, another can use the same term and it will be racist. You should ask the person what they define as “civilized”. Their reasoning is your answer.

This is fucking awesome
- Comment on Ukraine trusted the West. Now everyone wants nukes. 7 months ago:
Grammatically, it doesn’t say that. An act of aggression or a nuclear blah blah is vague enough that you can read it with or without a comma
- Comment on Ukraine trusted the West. Now everyone wants nukes. 7 months ago:
That’s not badly written. Thats intentionally vague so one can justify a lot of different responses. That’s how these things work

Some sort of rule about verification may help your cause, and I hope it runs well for you

Without strong and trusted mods, this will be interesting…

It is definitely an awesome looking critter though

This isn’t true: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoatzin
… Since Archaeopteryx had three functional claws on each wing, some earlier systematists speculated that the hoatzin was descended from it, because nestling hoatzins have two functional claws on each wing. Modern researchers, however, hypothesize that the young hoatzin’s claws are of more recent origin… A similar trait is seen in turacos, whose nestlings use claws on their wings to climb in trees.
