If you’re into Pokemon and have access to the GBA/DS ROMS, PokeMMO is a great emulator that adds online MMO features to the first 5 generations of Pokemon. You can take one character across all 5 regions, and there’s tons of QoL features.
Reminds me of the people who taught their bird to say “mom beats me! oOoOoOoOo”
Why are you showing me a circle
Einstein believed in “Spinoza’s god”, which is essentially just nature and the laws that govern the universe. It’s not the same as believing in an anthropomorphic God and putting faith in scripture.
This is one of those reasons I always call myself an agnostic instead of atheist.
Those aren’t mutually exclusive terms. “Agnostic” answers whether you know a god exists, and “atheist” answers whether you believe a god exists.
I don’t know of any gods, and I don’t believe any exist, so I’m an agnostic atheist.
That’s right. Then after the Israelites were freed, Moses, claiming to be speaking for God, gave them permission to take slaves of their own from the nations around them. Before that, they were told how merciless they could be when bludgeoning those slaves.
The Bible portrays this as moral behavior, and the excuses you’ve given me aren’t convincing. I don’t think there is any excuse for it, but I’m all ears if you want to give it a shot.
The most reliable way to lose faith isn’t through science, it’s reading their holy text.
In general, nothing about science ever shakes a theist’s faith, and I doubt it ever will. Reason being: the moment science breaks new ground, religion retreats further back into the unknown. As long as there is an unknown, theists will have something to take shelter from.
##Old Testament
#####Exodus 21:20-21 (NIV):
“And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.”
##New Testament
#####Ephesians 6:5 (NIV):
“Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as you obey Christ”
#####1 Timothy 6:1 (NIV):
“All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered. Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare of their slaves.”
If you’re interested in videogames at all, playing some multiplayer games could help. TV/books are great too, but I think chatting online would give you a realistic dialogue to learn from, and having a common goal with the other players should give you plenty of opportunities to contribute to the dialogue.
And as a bonus, you’ll probably learn lots of creative insults haha
In what country are you not allowed to talk about something you watched
I got the math the wrong way around but read the bottom of the bot’s post. The bot’s job is to cut the fluff out of articles, and it copy/pastes the remaining text for us to read here.
So my comment should have said 40%, but the point was if we’re comparing what the bot did with your coworkers talking about a game, it’d be more akin to them reciting the commentator verbatim.
Impressive that your coworkers discuss the events exclusively by recalling 60% of the announcer’s words and then quoting them verbatim.
This the the problem for the LLM, it can be used for many things, and if it has no filter or limit
I agree with pretty much everything before this but that particular comment was just talking about summaries, which imo is a lot more cut and dry. (SparkNotes, for example)
An LLM by itself is unlimited and unfiltered, but it’s not impossible to limit one and sell it. For all the shit OpenAI deserves to get, I have to give them one thing, their copyright restriction system seems to be on par with YouTube. I paid for a month of it when GPT4 came out and tried my hardest to bypass it, but it won’t even give me copyrighted texts when the words are all replaced with synonyms or jumbled around.
I think if someone’s offering their LLM as a service and has a system like that in place, they aren’t stealing any more than YouTube is stealing. Otherwise I agree that there’s a strong argument for copyright infringement.
Look, guys! The TLDR bot is stealing!
!Arthur Dent has his home demolished while humans simultaneously have Earth demolished by an alien race called Vogons, but him and Ford Prefect escape by hitchhiking onto the Vogon ship. They’re discovered and thrown into space, but miraculously saved by Ford’s relative (can’t remember how they’re related) and his ship The Heart of Gold, which is powerful but unpredictable. They wind up on a mythical planet due to that unpredictability, and learn that Earth was a designer planet created to calculate
the ultimate answer to theultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. (The famous “42” thing). The whole crew escapes the planet and decides to go to The Restaurant at the End of The Universe to eat and watch the universe end.!<
Have I just stolen The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and given it to you?

Sure. And nobody claimed “God doesn’t exist.” Two people now have told you that you’re mistaken, but you insist.
From our perspective it seems like you’re imposing a baseless claim onto us so you can feel better about your own baseless claims. Only theists say atheism is a claim.
Ask literally any atheist here if they claim “god does not exist”
It doesn’t sound familiar because nobody here is saying God is impossible. We’re saying they don’t have good reason for believing he exists.
I don’t go around telling ten-dimensional physicists to stop believing in, and speculating about, a theoretical field that’s devoid of evidence.
You wouldn’t have to tell them to stop “believing” in string theory because none of them do. The math happens to work out so a lot of them are interested, but none of them “believe” in it because it hasn’t been tested.
Why are the atheists in this thread qualified to tell them they are wrong to hold it?
We’re not saying they’re wrong. We’re saying their reasons for believing aren’t good reasons. And in a thread about why people believe, criticism is not only warranted, but expected.
Gnostic atheists were imposing their own beliefs on the religious through unsolicited critical condemnation.
Can you point me to even one atheist here making a gnostic claim? The link you already gave is just Communist saying you don’t have evidence, and it seems like you’re translating every other instance of that to “GOD ISN’T REAL”.
There are so many fun glitches you can learn in that game. I highly recommend trying some, it’s a blast. Some easy ones:
Power crouch stabs - Link’s crouch stab has no damage value, so it ends up using the value of your previous move (regardless of if it did damage to anything). The deku stick’s jump-slash does massive damage, so if you take one out and jump slash the air, you can then spam crouch stabs to do massive damage very quickly. It will one-shot almost any common enemy, and can defeat bosses in less cycles than should be possible. Ghoma can be defeated in 1 cycle by doing this.
Infinite sword glitch - If you interrupt Link’s crouch stab, the game will fail to turn off the sword’s hurtbox and will do damage every frame while Link holds it. You can interrupt a crouch stab with pretty much anything Link can interact with, like reading signs, picking up a bomb, or talking to Navi. And you can apply the deku stick jump slash damage to this glitch for even more damage.
Leaving the forest early - There’s several ways to do it, but the easiest way is to walk against the wall to the right of the Kokiri kid and get as close as possible while facing away from him. If you crouch stab the wall to push yourself into him and press A to talk to him during the brief moment you’re inside of him, Link can pass through… But he will still block you from the opposite side, so to get the rest of the way out you have to roll under the kid while he’s falling from the high end of the passage wall.
