This has me going down some rabbit holes on Wikipedia.
Basically so far, I’ve read about Cain and Able and how God favored Able over Cane, which made Cain jealous enough to kill his brother. To which God curses Cain with a “mark” - which incidentally was used against darker skinned folks by the Christian church to justify racism because dark skin was seen as the “mark” of Cain.
It was because of “human sin and the Nephilim” that the world became corrupted, and this made God want to wipe out humankind for it. Noah being the only good guy left was the chosen one of course. He had to get seven pairs of clean animals and one pair of unclean animals - my Southern Baptist upbringing always taught one pair of each.
After the flood, God didn’t like that humanity was getting along with each other and didn’t like that they were working together to build the Tower of Babel, so he decides it’s better to divide humanity with different languages and “sets them apart with confusion.”
That’s as far as I’ve gotten so far. It’s really interesting given what Ive been taught, compared to what the stories really say. Not to mention, God is truly the OG troll and a huge asshole.
Manipulative and abusive is more like it. A grade-A narcissist, who delights in gaslighting and overpromising to garner control over those he feels are far inferior to him.
No no, what’s actually going on here is it’s a bunch of blizzard fanboys. The aliens they’re talking about are the Naaru and the person talking about the nephalim are blaming diablo 3 players implying they were sucking to many company resources away from WoW.
Tags/Flair isn’t Nsfw/Nsfl. Tags could be tedious yes, but a seperate checkmark or a seperate toggle for simply NSFL should have been made from the get go.
Well, that can’t be changed now. People discuss NSFL in there, but I don’t know what will be the rustler of it. Maybe it will be NSFW + NSFL tag. You can always create a new issue demanding NSFL to be treated as a special tag.
Those template errors feel almost passive-aggressive to me. Almost as if the compiler is telling you “Here are all the ways in which I tried to make your shitty code make sense, and yet it still doesn’t work” lol
The process is you pay what you owe. As per the covenant you voluntarily and explicitly entered upon. It’s one thing to not understand that roads do not magically appear to facilitate your traveling (“not driving”), and that the privilege of using them is concomitant with obligations you have to fulfill. But trying to weasel out of paying your bills is a move made entirely in bad faith.
If you take a loan from me you better be prepared to compensate me for it. Or buy only what you can afford. Mind you, I consider myself a lefty but that’s just common sense.
I think what they’re saying is that despite being “left”, they’re aware that in an inflationary economy an “interest-free loan” isn’t merely a opportunity-cost for the lender, it’s a concrete cost.
"they’re aware that in an inflationary economy an “interest-free loan” isn’t merely a opportunity-cost for the lender, it’s a concrete cost.
Is merely repeating a popular myth. The existence of an inflationary economy is a purely rhetorical invention. As is the idea of a concrete cost. Opportunity costs have the same story. They’re just ways of understanding the world but they are not objectively true.
So while that user may believe the myth that you articulated, that myth is not itself true.
