On one hand this is obviously absurd but on the other hand I don’t actually know how one could solve the sheer scale of pedophilia happening on their platform without some dystopian shit. It seems like there is a maximum size for something like discord because at the scale it is now I’m not sure how you could possibly moderate it. I’ll probably stop using it if they implement this but I can definitely understand why they feel like it’s a good idea.

Is the Chaplain distinct from other classes like priest, cleric, or paladin? If so, I would think the Chaplain is more of a ranger with a holy flair. However, if it’s in a setting where it’s the only holy class I would say they should have healing magic, faith based spells, and high charisma. The first thing that came to mind, however, was like a WWII military chaplain and I thought that would be pretty cool, basically a D&D style cleric but in WWII era tech, acting as a field medic, religious guide, and clairvoyant all in one.

Lmao you haven’t been to Trump Country if you think someone can’t be stupid enough to be like this unironically. I live in a district that went like 80% for Trump and most people are like this here lmao.

And even then as long as the first people they start gassing were accused of crimes at some point then you’re good

The problem is that 35% of the country believes him and 15% aren’t sure. You will never convince the 35%. They could be eating rat soup to survive and they’d still insist Trump is a great president who has done wonders for the economy because “the economy” is just an abstract, almost metaphysical concept to them like a ritual state and it is being purified of the evil spirits of “woke” and “dei” so it’s in its proper order.

No sympathy for this dumb fuck. Don’t vote for tariffs if you don’t even know what they are.

Legitimate question- do you know any IRL? I am convinced that these people will stand by Trump no matter what. I live in a Trump heavy district and everyone is talking about how hard this is but how it’s all actually a genius negotiating tactic. They truly cannot believe that Trump isn’t their Savior.

$25k and climbing but thankfully that’s pretty much all in my retirement and I’m not touching it for several more decades.

It’s more complicated than that since I do believe God exists but in a way that is incomprehensible to humans, and, according to all evidence, doesn’t “intervene” with the universe. I say “intervene” because God, as classically described, is simultaneously incapable of intervening and incapable of not intervening. If we define God as “an omnipotent being”(which, for the record, I do not), then He is necessarily also all knowing and exists outside of the limitations of time and space. Such a being would be perfectly optimized as well, and so it would be impossible for anything to occur without its express permission and cause. Therefore, under classical theism, it seems impossible for God to say, answer prayers, because this would imply that He could possibly change His mind or that what was happening wasn’t already what He wants to begin with.

Eh. I could care less about downvotes and I understand that the idea of practicing Christianity for reasons beyond personal faith in it is going to be controversial to Christians and atheists alike. If someone made a chill Atheist/agnostic “church” where there was singing and discussions on moral philosophy, and a community of people devoted to helping each other and their community I’d probably be doing that but as it stands religion is the only game in town for such things and I think that it’s good to do something like this. Plus I don’t know, it’s kind of cool to be a part of rituals people have been doing for thousands of years.

It’s complicated but I used to be essentially atheist but now believe that there is something one might as well call “God” after studying philosophy. Essentially everything has a cause and something must be at the end of that chain, and we might as well call that “God.” I also practice Christianity because I feel that it is good to have the community and structure that a religion can provide but I don’t think that “God” necessarily exists in the way Christianity typically presents it.

I’m currently trying out Lemmy because reddit is killing the Old Reddit interface and I refuse to use their shitty app or new interface website. Plus after using it I think it’s kind of fun to have reddit but smaller and more curated. It’s like Reddit used to be back in like 2012.

Except in this case the emperor and all of his advisors have been telling people for months all about how he wanted to go around naked insisting that he is wearing clothing, and all of the dumbass peasants truly believe he’s wearing a beautiful new outfit in spite of the obvious fact that he’s running around naked.

If things don’t recover by the time I retire I have bigger things to worry about than retirement.
