But have you tried getting the right kind of mayonnaise from the right kind of grocery store from the right kind of major metropolitan area? Honestly, your opinion is just worthless until I know you’ve tried the right kind of mayonnaise.
This would imply that Pando is more conscious than we are.
Have you just not spent any time making a playlist of good human made songs you can put on to listen to on the background?
Not that I think you are wrong, but a believer could just say that your argument doesn’t apply because Karma primarily affects you in the afterlife.
Could you explain why? People are agreeing with me more than you so far.
You won’t ever know if you don’t ever try. Find some third spaces you think are interesting enough and put yourself out there.
I’m assuming these are all songs where it sounds like the singer is saying “may” instead of “me”.
What electronic music do you listen to?
There might be a more accurate sublabel for your exact position, but so long as the label is serving well enough in it’s purpose as a communication tool and it isn’t getting in your way in other ways, then there’s no reason to fret about it.
Not the guy you’re replying to but the first half of your argument is silly. If I said “Everyone on Lemmy likes Star Trek.”, would you still demand that every exception be named or would you understand that I was talking in generalities?
You have to be really careful to distinguish between the position that the canon is temporarily, functionally closed and that it is closed permanently. You can definitely find plenty of people who support the strict position, but I believe that it is less popular than the looser position overall, especially when looking outside of Christian apologetics circles.
There’s a few good reasons to think that the canon is only temporarily closed, not permanently closed:
I’m in the US as well and pronounce the b.
At my store shoplifters would take stuff out of boxes and packaging and hide them in random places. On a per capita basis they were probably messier than normal shoppers.
So Maltese and Shih Tzus? The earliest date I saw for either of those was 1000 BC and according to Answers in Genesis, the most prominent young earth creation group, Noah’s flood happened at 2300 BC. That means that the meme’s intuition is correct and God never told Noah to bring them on the ark, Christianity is saved!
linguists have estimated something like 31,000 languages have existed in human history (and that’s the lowest estimate). Currently, there are roughly six thousand languages spoken in the world. We don’t know exactly, because we’re just beginning to classify some languages in remote locations. But using conservative figures, something like 81% of all human languages have become extinct.
What worries linguists, however, is the current rate of language death in the world. Over half the languages spoken today have fewer than 10,000 speakers; that’s about like the population of Wasilla, Alaska. Around 82% of languages have fewer speakers than there are people in Waco, Texas. Linguists estimate that at least half the world’s languages will become extinct in the next one hundred years. That means, on average, a language is dying about every two weeks.

Is this actually a thing rich people say? I’ve never heard it said before.
If my choices came down to having a car with power windows or a car with low speed cruise control options, I very well might choose the latter. It’s so nice not having to also keep an eye on the speed you’re driving at while going down tight residential streets with kids playing in their driveways.
According to the newspaper this came from, The Times of India, this is a photoshopped image with the original saying “meet” instead of “mate”.
You have an interesting method of not asking in disrespect, so I’ll just reply this once and leave it at that.
Christianity is based largely around the idea of faith. If God made it so plainly obvious what he was doing that there were no competing views or religions, then Christianity could no longer be about faith.
So how do we know when we are putting our faith in the right thing? Well that would come down to various other factual arguments that, when taken in unison, point to the reliability of the Bible. I, for one, like the minimal facts case for the resurrection and the fact of all the manuscript evidence showing that the message of the Bible is effectively the same as it was in the early church.
Do I think that my understanding of the Bible is the only one true understanding? No, that would be very silly and presumptuous of me to think I alone somehow got it all figured out. But that doesn’t mean I’m not close, and the fact that there are others who believe like I do means in more likely to be at a reasonable understanding of the truth of the matter than I would be otherwise. But even if everyone else in the world was wrong wouldn’t really matter here, would it? The only thing it means is I would need to be cautious.
What do you mean by cultural entropy, exactly? It seems like a rather nebulous term.
