- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 7 hours ago:
You are not supposed to lie, which would be pretty stupid if they are interested and going to find out anyway.
If it is someone interested in you, it is flirting and could vary widely from wanting to know an accurate description to being similar to something else as a humorous comparison. One joke I've heard is built like a tuna can because it is girth but not long. Not a literal comparison of course, but it gets the idea across.

Not.
An atheist who believes in god is like a vegan who regularly and knowingly eats bacon, they are using the wrong labels. Those both have narrow and clear definitions, unlike religion where there are a ton of things that vary between local practices and traditions that can be used to say that they aren't really X religion.
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 day ago:
What you are doing is saying they are not really Christians because they do or don't do X and that is exactly what the fallacy is.
Are priests who molest children not real Christians?
- Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians" 1 day ago:
Also Jews refused to become Christians and Christianity wants to convert people.
The most entertaining part for me is that Jesus was a Jew, so Christians hating Jews as a group means they hate Jesus.

If we can examine and understand the 'supernatural' then it just becomes knowledge and natural, or at least our perspective of it does.
The easiest example is natural phenomenon like flooding, volcanoes, storms, fire, and tons of other things were or are seen as supernatural and had beliefs and religions built around them. Some were considered supernatural, or to have supernatural causes.
Did our understanding of them make them not supernatural or were they natural the entire time and we just didn't understand them yet?
'Supernatural' is not a real thing. It is human speculation about why and how natural things happen. There are no gods as described by any belief system, just things we don't know or understand yet.

Oh look, you had AI vomit out your incorrect position for you.
The "no true scotsman" fallacy is about changing your argument into a non-falsifiable tautology.
That is what you do when you say "They aren't real Christians because they do X." It is the poster child of the no true Scotsman fallacy.

Person B is an idiot who doesn't understand words because atheist is
To be a Christian someone just needs to identify as a Christian. They don't actually have to do anything specific with that self identification that aligns with the Bible or any particular denomination's practices. That is because belief and faith and religion have a massive spectrum of beliefs and practices wrapped up into one. A large number of people who attend religious ceremonies don't even believe in the deities or take things literally, they are there for the community.

I want people available for assistance, sure, because automation needs a backup. But needing staff for a human connection is offloading their need to socialize onto staff.

I would expect the cooking process to sweeten up the kiwi, but that is just a guess.
- Comment on Grab your pitchforks 3 days ago:
I've had a hamburger pizza that had hamburger, onions, pickles cooked on and then lettuce added after kind of like a taco pizza. The pickles worked well as part of the whole package, but would probably be overwhelming as a single topping.
- Comment on Grab your pitchforks 3 days ago:
I will absolutely judge anything before I try it. A best guess before trying is perfectly fine as long as it is updated after trying.
My experience with trying brussel sprouts as a kid was that they were terrible, just mushy and bland. As an adult I had roasted and properly seasoned brussel sprouts that were fantastic. It is important to be able to judge before, after, and revise based on new knowledge!
In this case I have had sweet fruit on pizza and my judgement is that I would probably like kiwi fresh, but not as leftovers.
- Comment on Does having to hold down a comment to open a downvote prompt make it less likely for you to downvote? 4 days ago:
The vast, vast majority of votes are up votes already and instances can disable down votes. Why discourage down votes on instances that use them?
This seems like a solution in search of a problem.

Well, the US was greatly inspired by Rome ao why not follow the fall?

Nope. The oxygen ratio in the atmosphere varied and included long periods with comparable levels as today.
The most important part was their biology, that helped move the oxygen around the bodies of the massive giants. Remember that while there were massive giants, the blue whale is the largest animal ever known and they live today alongside dolphins and otters just like how dinosaurs came in a wide variety of sizes all living at the same time.

Also there are four of them in close proximity which is fucking hilarious following shortly after the drunkass Pete Hegswhatever was just lecturing the military commanders about how he was going to get rid of anyone who didn't meet his physical standards.
- Comment on Alien (1979) predates Predator (1987) 1 week ago:
To add to that excellent summary, the first Predator movie started off as a testosterone fueled action movie that then flipped to a horror movie where the macho soldiers were afraid of the unknown and only one survived by being clever and resourceful instead of shooting his way out. It was the first popular movie to turn action movie protagonists into victims, and someone who saw it mote recently would have that idea spoiled by yhe many movies that Predator inspired even though I haven't seen one that did it nearly as well.

- Comment on Do boycotts work? 1 week ago:
Like any kind of protest or political action they work often enough to get push back from those in power but are not a guarantee. Their scope also needs to be proportional to what they are boycotting, so the larger the company or political power the more coordination and number of people it takes to get results.
Last year there was a boycott of Sabra, which makes hummus, that successfully changed the ownership from half Pepsi Co and an Israeli company to get the Israeli company to divest. It had a clear goal and a single type of product that was easy for people to understand and get behind the boycott. If someone wanted to boycott Pepsi Co, which not only makes soda but also owns a ton of restaurants and other things, it would be extremely difficult as they could weather the losses in one area due to the scope of the company as a whole.
The Montgomery bus boycott during the US Civil Rights era was extremely successful.

He chose to not listen to medical advice for cancer and instead dragged things out with 'alternative medicine' long enough that real medical treatment wouldn't be successful anymore but still pulled strings to get a transplant.
He was nuts.
