Step 1 is pretty much get in really good shape. Step 2 is wear whatever, because at that point, you can make anything look good.

Even peace and prosperity is a difficult bar to achieve for many

For a second there, I thought that was the same Kathleen Kennedy who was head of Lucasfilms

Been trying to finish up Darksiders 2 after being in my backlog for years. I think I’m almost done. Only have a few more dungeons left according to the wiki

Most games I play are single-player. And even then, I hardly play videogames anymore these days. I’d probably average about 8-10 hours on a game over the course of a few years, with some outliers like Killing Floor 2 and Dawn of War (this is by far the most time I’ve ever spent playing a game, without 300ish hours across the expansions and mods).

I just generally don’t have the time or energy to invest in playing something. Maybe I’ll play for about 30 minutes before I have the sinking feeling of needing to be more productive.

Is that the one with the “Chaos” guy?

Personally I think that a long time ago (far and above my paygrade) the universe was created (or maybe it always was). Then even longer later, species evolved to become humans as we know ourselves today. Whether or not there was some sort of creator hardly matters to me now.

If there is, I’d ask why he created everything if he already knows everything that was, is, and will be. There is generally no reason to create something as significant as time and existence itself if you already knew the outcome. Unless the outcome concerns us so little that we’re actually akin to a brick on a road. In either case, it’s above my paygrade but doesn’t really warrant my worship.

I was raised Catholic in a Catholic family in a Catholic country. Went to Sunday school and read the Bible and all that. I prayed hard every night as a child for god to make people stop fighting and to stop the hurting. It would be within his power, wouldn’t it? If god so chooses, he could appear and change humans to be better than what we currently are.

But that leads to a few conclusions. He could have the power, but is curious instead about what we lead to. In which case, he can be surprised and is not omnipotent. He could not have the power, in which case he’s not really all that powerful and isn’t worthy of undying worship. He could have both, but are just using us a a stepping stone to make way for a better species to come along. In which case, he is also not really worthy of worship.

No, I think we’re alone. I think we can’t rely on an omnipotent and all-good being to save us. I think we’re all we have, and so we have to do what we can to help the next person along. Because no one is coming.

He really doesn’t talk like a Democrat. Also it’s kinda funny how since the first comment on this post was deleted, Lemmy marks the post as having “-1 comments”

I sometimes wonder if the human brain is biologically capable of dealing with this level of technology. We may have just jumped into the deep end without having the capacity to handle the waters.

I also like to think that if god really wanted, he could send a new son down to Earth every few decades just to refresh people on how the teachings should actually be. But it seems he only had enough in the tank for one at a time when historical records were just campfire tales told between passersby

That’s a fair point. However, a god that does that doesn’t deserve to be worshipped. A god that creates a world like that deserves to be killed.

I’ve been liking it. Funny actually. I used to be really into this site called FunnyJunk back during high-school and got really into it during college. Then it became much more right-wing so I tried out Reddit. Had that for a few years until just recently. Let’s see how long this one lasts.

Literally the first time I’ve heard of this guy and he’s cruising off of the good will of JFK’s name. For shame.
