Ecclesiastes 3:4 - "there is a time to kill and a time to heal"

Don't only look at one part of the Bible. As important as the gospels are, you need to look at all of scripture to get the full picture. Yes, "turn the other cheek" and "give them your shirt as well", but do those as part of loving your neighbor as you love yourself.

Hard disagree. I can't think of anything less short signed or selfish than raising a generation to be better than the previous

For sure. I'm getting married in about 6 months, and we've already agreed we want to have kids, but that we don't want them right away.

But these are all right angles, as long as the two arcs are centered on the same point as the intersection of the two straight lines.

A. With a stretch, sure

B. Well yes. Alchemy was just chemistry before people knew what chemicals were

C. For sure. You tell a medieval person "hey, here's this special rectangular rock mirror that I shoved lightning into through a fancy metal rope, and now it can think and make pictures that move", you're not making it out of your witchcraft trial alive

Tabletop/party games? How big is the group? I could probably recommend half a dozen games for any group size up to 20

Honestly, princess bride. I'm usually not all that into rom com type movies, but princess bride is a masterpiece

Many ways to cast at flash speed, or use something like universal solvent

Usually only if there's something good as part of the credits (eg. Portal 1 & 2)

And it can still be destroyed with only 7 mana

It's probably different for everyone. My dad retired a few years ago, but he has far from stopped working. He does a lot of work for the church (he's an elder), and he does a lot if work on the farm they live on.

 

My general assumption for the lowest I can expect a person to behave is basically always looking for their own absolute gain, and any attitude towards other people comes secondary to that. So while a person living by this standard wouldn't donate to charity without some other motive, they would have basically the same answer to something like the trolley problem as anyone else.

Am I wrong thinking of this as a "minimum reasonable behavior", or is there something people actually gain from the suffering of other people?

This question was born out of seeing how people are being treated by the US government at the moment, but I'm asking about more than just that. People like abusive partners/family, hostile cops, or just bullies in general.

 

What does someone have to do that means no amount of remorse or effort to fix things will get you to forgive them? I don't mean forgive and forget to the point where they can hurt you again. If someone repeatedly steals from you, forgiveness doesn't mean putting them in a position where they can steal again.

I'm asking this purely out of curiosity. I'm just wondering what the attitude in my corner of the internet is.

 

There's a mod I want to make, but I've never made a mod for any game before. What resources are there for starting out?

I know programming well enough so that's not a barrier, this is more about mod structure and testing

 
 

The most versatile of foods, creating chips, hash browns, and vodka, among other things. Which option is the best one?

IMO some good hot chips (fries for you incorrect Americans)

 

What movie do you want made? If you got a pitch meeting with a producer and a guaranteed green light, what would you say?
