    I want to run a poll, just out of curiosity.

    Jump

  • I have an office job, but I work with a lot of tradies.

  • What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

    Jump

  • A ute with no mud on it. Either it's brand new, or they have no idea what the point of a ute is, so they bought an overpriced car which is worse for them than an average station wagon

  • What's your advice for someone driving their first manual transmission car?

    Jump

  • Or if you know a farmer, a paddock is also a good option

  • If you consider yourself a Christian and act in self-defence, you don’t truly believe

    Jump

  • A. Then why is it still in the Bible? The old testament didn't cease to be scripture when Jesus died. If it did, why did Jesus explain it to his disciples after his resurrection (the road to Emmaus, Luke 24), and why do a lot of the letters in the new testament reference bits of the old testament?

    B. "Do not think I have come to abolish the law or prophets, I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them" (Matthew 5:17). Jesus makes sure that the law and prophets (aka old testament) are still there, still honored, and still seen as God's word. What he did on the cross means we have another way to seek salvation in grace.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Pokémon, alchemy and magic kind of do exist

    Jump

  • 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

  • Ideas for small family gathering?

    Jump

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

  • My brain just went to "you were trying to cross the border right? Same as us, and that thief over there"

  • What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?

    Jump

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

    I didn’t think retirement would feel like disappearing slowly

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Star Trek systems should use IPv6

    Jump

  • Or by that point they will have created a self scaling system

  • Why did gandhi ask britain to seek peace with nazi germany?

    Jump

  • I'm just saying I wouldn't mind hearing what Jeffery epstien would say over the clean air act

    Not what I'm saying. My point is that one flaw, even one as terrible as pedophilia, doesn't influence all of a person's opinions. Sure, I wouldn't ask Gandhi for his views on healthy relationships, and having learned about this I have lost pretty much all respect for him as a person. But his opinions on international politics should be reasonable because of his role as a leader of a protest movement, and likely aren't impacted by him being a pedo.

    With your Epstien example, is there reason to think his opinions on climate science are more well informed than the average person's? Do you think his role of running his pedo island would impact his views on topics like the clean air act?

    The trouble with your line of thinking is that we'd run out of acceptable people's opinions really quickly. No one is perfect, and it will usually be possible to frame someone's flaws in a way that makes them a horrible person in all aspects and never worth hearing out. When it gets to "Bob is a racist, Jim is a pedo, Fred is a domestic abuser" (to be clear, in not saying these are equally bad or anything, just some examples of 'this person is inherently bad because of one thing') and so on about everyone, who's left to be worth discussing things with?

  • Why did gandhi ask britain to seek peace with nazi germany?

    Jump

  • the dude was a pedo

    How is that related to his opinions on international politics? Just because someone is terrible in one aspect of their life, doesn't mean the rest of their ideas have to be thrown out.

    If Christians were real, they’d be lining up to pay for their sins (not trying to avoid judgement).

    Jump

  • The best I can do to make sense of what you're saying is that you're looking at some of the worst of church leaders (eg. MAGA pastors in America, historical popes, etc), and seeing Christianity as that. If I've got that wrong, please correct me.

    If that's what you're saying, that's a massive over generalization, to the point where it's willful. I do agree that there are church leaders out there who see leading a congregation purely as a way to gain some authority, but that is far from all of Christianity.

  • they'd be lining up to pay for their sins

    The whole point of Christianity is we don't have to do that. Sure, we need to repent and do what we can to avoid sin, but the actual paying for it has been done by Jesus.
