- Comment on Time travel is easy, it's just lame 6 days ago:
It is a plot point in the sci-fi series Perry Rhodan, where they push the whole solar system 15 minutes into the future (iirc) to hide it from the rest of the universe.
- Comment on What's making it into the good parts, my fellow philosoraptors? 1 week ago:
As a theology nerd:
All the parts that show that The Path of Christ is sacrificing oneself for the freedom of the "lesser".
Which I'd say is most of the Bible, much of the early Fathers' writings, a lot from Martin Luther (I know he also has some really evil stuff, leave those out), most of Bonhoeffer's, a lot of C. S. Lewis, and certainly a lot more im forgetting. - Comment on Hope you had a great christmas 3 weeks ago:
Brazil certainly should be broken down by state, I imagine the USA as well.
My state in south Brazil has VERY strict controls on animals entering the state so we can use less antibiotics and other stuff.
- Comment on My favorite Goya painting 3 weeks ago:
A curiosity: despite the common interpretation, the intended meaning of the original painting if there was any, is unknown. It was found on a wall of his house after his death.
- Comment on Chemistry 5 weeks ago:
Good it turned around, reminded me of that "if the brain was simple enough to understand, we would be too simple to understand it".
- Comment on Creep. Smdh 1 month ago:
Yes, it says it's forever. The Catholic church does have a doctrine of purgatory, but it's for the flawed faithful.
But it also treats it akin to a spouse that has been continuously cheated on; all his gifts twisted, broken, and trashed; finally leaving the house.
Or self-inflicted by humanity, God going: "do you really, really want to stay apart from the source of life and all good? Then have it your way... ☹️"
- Comment on Damn, "Thoughts and Prayers!" 1 month ago:
Would be biblical. There are many prayer psalms where the author is asking God to avenge him and destroy his enemies.
- Comment on Humans... Just The Worst 1 month ago:
Many of the Bible's authors seem of the opinion that humanity was created to be co-creators, and that intelligence and knowledge are gifts from God, I suspect teaching rocks to think is something He likes.
- Comment on What your coffee preparation method says about you 2 months ago:
Filter into a Thermos?
- Comment on Crystals 5 months ago:
Not to defend these things, I also don't think they work, but the simplest argument is that they work on a metaphysical frequency/energy/whatever, so a physical instrument wouldn't be able to detect it.
- Comment on Oldest computer 5 months ago:
Technically it's a computer because it can compute something, it's just not a universal computer.
- Comment on Good game soundtracks? 5 months ago:
- little big adventure 2
- sim city 4

Go go gadget anthropomorphization
- Comment on Are there any political or social movements that try to mandate all business be worker owned cooperatives and how can we support them? 5 months ago:
Tangential to your post, it was bizarre seeing the rabidly anti-"left" politicians of my state (in Brazil) loudly praising the local culture of cooperativism and proudly signing into law the recognition of it being part of the immaterial culture of the state.
- Comment on Paradox shutter studio Tectonic and cancel troubled Sims competitor Life By You 6 months ago:
Shame that there hasn't been any decent The Sims-like game since The Sims 3.
- Comment on Bees v Wasps 7 months ago:
Well, you chose the boring bees. The Meliponini stingless bees have much cooler names.
- Comment on Skrillex 7 months ago:
I got dengue this year.
A week of pain and extreme weakness.
Don't recommend.
- Comment on Wtf did I just read 8 months ago:
My understanding as a layperson: probably stuff is probably around here somewhere, probably.
