I didn’t know what an Amiga was until I saw animations by Eric Schwartz on Saberspark’s twitch. Eric Schwartz is a furry artist who made animations on Amiga computers and shared them around the internet. He eventually made a comic with one of his characters called Sabrina online

Am I weird to be really hyped for a new Tetris game

Why specifically Azov?

Maybe capacity is to the point where military planners are willing to give up stock of some missiles. But if I’ve taken anything away from the Russo-Ukranian war, it’s that quantity of weapons systems is incredibly important. There’s a heck of a lot of targets to hit in China.

However if the US is in a position to send JASSM to Ukraine, I will be excited. Personally, I’m very excited to see what weapons systems that Ukraine can now use since it has F-16. Especially with JDAM-ER which the Russians have shown the effectiveness of.

The resurgence of the ATACMs is aimed at Ukraine and Europe as a whole. Especially Poland and its massive HIMARS fleet on order. It would definitely be useful in the Pacific, but from what I see in the procurement requests, it’s mostly for foreign order. It’s a major move though, seeing as new production of the ATACMs was terminated in 2007.

The problem with these long range Standoff munitions is that they’re sorely needed in the indo-pacific region if there’s ever a war with China. (Likely to be within the next few years) It’s going to give some pause to US planners as range is at a premium there. I don’t see JASSM going to Ukraine myself, as these missiles are reserved for a fight with China. However, it may be a useful move to get Europe to chip in for long range munitions.

How long will they support the banwave?

but on people who make poor decisions.

What types of poor decisions? Decisions in faith? Family? Finance? Fitness? From the top level comment of the comment thread I read it as finance as that’s the thing related to food in the original post. I read this story as our stewardship of things God gives us. (Everything from the work of our hands to our minds to our relationships to wealth) He who is given much should use them and not keep them hidden away for later

little talent

Talent refers to money in the literal sense (Or more accurately a weight for metals which could be traded as money) It is a large amount of money.

The parable of the wedding feast is about people neglecting their faith and still expecting to be a part of the Kingdom of God. It’s not about how much money they have, but instead if they actually practice their faith. If you know the scriptures, but say you’ll be righteous later, then you’re that person who isn’t clothed for the feast. We are called to keep our faith and grow faith in others with the gifts that God gives us.

Supply Side Jesus on the other hand tells us that it’s not worth investing our time and resources into people who are poor, and that instead the rich will lead us to have an efficient church. That is fundamentally backwards to Christianity, as it is the poor, the hurt and the suffering who need it the most. There’s a reason why some churches put the Beatitudes in their liturgy. But at the same time, this is how our welfare system is run. To get the freeloaders off

I did, and though we can expect those with a talent to be profitable, what about those with a tenth of one?

Let’s put that parable in modern terms. One day a hedge fund manager decided to leave the country for a while to his other home overseas. He went and told His workers to go and be profitable with the money. And so he gave one a million dollars , another 100, 000, and another $50,000.

The one with a million dollars, invested his money and time into making a new business. He managed to turn that $1 million into $2.3 million. The one with 100,000 managed to make $170,000 with shrewd investing. But the man with $50,000 sat on it and didn’t do anything. He put it in a savings account and left it there.

The hedge fund manager came back, and saw how successful the other managers were. And he asked the one with 10k "Why didn’t you do anything with what I gave you?

The one with the 50 k said “I didn’t want to lose any of the money.”

The manager rebuked him though because he could have at least taken 1 year bonds and beat interest.

It’s a parable about using what God gave you. God gives us gifts to bring in profits. Not in money, as that’s not what God really needs, but in faith. You could live for a while with 50k even. But there are people who live paycheck to paycheck who don’t have that 1 talent of silver in the first place. They’re paid 800 dollars bi-weekly. Rent is 800 dollars. Good luck living with 800 left for everything else. And you still call them lazy

What does Jesus say about people with money? Two things stick out to me. The first one are the Rich donors to the the synagogue, and the poor woman who gives a quarter of her wealth to it. Jesus remarks that the woman gave more than those Rich donors ever will. The other is about a rich man who seeks to enter the kingdom of God and ask Jesus how to do this. Jesus tells him that he must give all his money to the poor. The man was disappointed because he had a lot of wealth.

What boggles my mind as a Christian is that we idolize Rich people and shame poor people. When in fact The most pious people I know, are poor

Prosperity Gospel is a scourge and a poor excuse to claim that God is on the side of the rich.

That’s the thing that breaks my immersion. I know that 200 years would make the area completely taken over by nature. It would look more like Horizon rather than Fallout. Not sure I’d dig trenches or anything, but radiation would be much more minimal. Nukes would also have a limited area, so the cities would die, but farmers, small towns, and everyone else out in the boonies would survive and rebuild. Hiroshima is a thriving city nowadays, with the building that survived still there

Helltaker is a little puzzle game that is free and short and sweet

I though that was revealed in the first game

You’ve gotten a bad date for the last eighteen dates because you can’t discriminate between people.

What would you replace it with?

I got the opposite conclusion from how Facebook managed to take marketshare from MySpace. They allowed bots to take content from the other service and it made it easier to switch

A lot of those gospels are Gnostic writings. Those came around 200 AD and were a real decision in the church. Had The Gospel of Mary been front and center, Christian Theology would be very different indeed.

The Gospel of Mary isn’t necessarily Gnostic, but it slots into other Gnostic texts from the time. Gnosticism was dismissed as heresy early on in the Church. There’s a church father named Irenaeus who wrote a book called Against Heresies describing the movement.

This actually used to be a very contentious issue in the early church. It wasn’t as rosey as some people like to paint it as. Myself as a Christian, I take it as an interesting read, but not authoritative.

I’ve got three. The first two aren’t traditional card games, but the third is absolutely a card game.

Rounds is a little 2d multiplayer game with a couple of circles that get cards to unlock new abilities every time they loose until one player wins the whole set.

There’s Friends vs Friends which is similar, except you use the cards for that round only. Oh and it’s furry and 3d. It’s a lot faster.

Third, there’s tabletop simulator. I recommend everyone gets this game as you can play any card games or board games that are on the steam shop, which is all of them.

Same. I’m not buying a PS5, but I really love the Horizon series.

The truth of the matter is that combined arms offensives are really hard, even for countries like the USA. It’s doubly hard to do it without air superiority, since the Russian air force has considerably more aircraft flying than the Ukrainian one. They also have incredible air defense. There’s also a massive defensive line in Zapporizhia, where the offensive is apparently happening.

Desert Storm was after a massive air campaign destroying logistics and communication, but the Russians have a whole year of learning to disburse their logistics, making it that much harder too

If you appear in a courtroom and your judge hates you, either you did something wrong in the trial or you need a different judge.

Because they don’t particularly care about a Chilean journalist who made a fool of himself in front of a mediocre historian. If they aren’t reporting much about an impending war in Africa, what makes you think that they’ll write about some obscure independent journalist from the Manosphere? Nobody has sympathy for him. He’s no Washington Post journalist.
