I think of analog time as kinda a pie chart telling me how much of the minute and hour that's elapsed. So I don't see 13:45, I see 75% past one o'clock.
Unlike Bat or Super, people like Lex exist. Lex doesn't hate Super because he's powerful, he hates him because he's loved.
Lex's whole worldview is that the people who are smart and cunning should rule over those lesser. Super's existence contradicts this by serving the interests of people who are his inferior.
Lex must believe that Super is a fraud who doesn't deserve his position because otherwise Lex is the pretender.
If you don't want to think about news, why do you want to consume it?
I don't understand. It sounds like your asking for news that requires the least amount of engagement and thought on your part. But that's already the default in media. The whole industry is transforming itself day by to serve you. You can read the news all day with little danger of engaging critical thought, and that's too much for you?
It's like you want all news to be sports. Summarized and quantified for people who don't care to watch the game.
I think the difference is that scientific theory exists even when nobody believes or is even aware of it, while religious faith is dependent on people believing it.
If humanity lost all knowledge, but didn't go extinct, we'd eventually reconstruct chemistry, but the doctrine of the trinity would be lost forever.
I LOVED figuring out the problems, even if I wanted to pull my hair out.
I recently dumped M$, and in my decision I expected the learning curve to be a downside, but what I've experienced is joy and accomplishment in learning new things.
I'd go further to say that learning Windows teaches you about Windows but learning Linux teaches you about computers.
What I don't like about ebay is that as a seller you appear to have few rights or recourse in a dispute, while being a buyer comes with little protection or assurance either.
Just goes to show which party is being protected. I know I'm horrible for buying from Amazon, but easy returns and shipping are worth any money you may save on ebay.
The crazy thing about multiplayer games like this that the players are expected to provide the content and pay for the privilege. I wanna pay $70 to be an NPC in someone else's game.
What's good about these games? your playing other people.
What's bad about these games? your playing other people.
The idea that religious dietary restrictions prevented food-born illness doesn't hold water. Plenty of allowed foods carry illness.
It doesn't help to exclude pork, for example if you're eating chicken med-rare. And if you know how to cook chicken until it's safe, why is pork a metaphysical riddle?
People should give more credit to historic humans, they lacked much of our knowledge but they were every bit as smart.
The problem with "prophecy" is that its impossible to check before it's useless information. Unless the holy book used specific descriptions, you'd be left with Nostradamus type language that can't be identified until after it comes "true".
I knew a guy who thought some of the mythical beasts in revelation were a prediction of helicopters. So suppose he's right, there would be no way to understand or predict helicopter technology using scripture, you have to wait until after helicopters are known to make the connection.
The cheapest method is to abandon the body. People die without family all the time and the State has a method to dispose of unclaimed corpses. Cost $0
