In Topic: Having an issue with my own list for AB on Abrosia

Does the refresh speed in abrosia account for your own latency. If not setting it so fast could ensure that the program never actually sees an inventory. If so then this was a stupid question and I was absolutely no help.

Ah sorry if verbiage was a little off. I didn't mean you blaming but merely blame as in fault in general, which in my opinion would be the center of any morality question. Sorry if it was unclear I am a bad communicator. I just meant that in cases of cheating the third person would be mostly blameless as their participation changed nothing, the cheater was going to cheat from the beginning.

 

The statements involving pimps were related to posts made by Cara on page three.


In Topic: Uncomfortable Truths

A couple of the springs in my cheap couch broke and occasionally poke me. Wait the was a truth about discomfort. 

 

I have HFA and still refuse to get diagnosed even though I know I have no hope of meshing with the real world in any meaningful way until I do(also it's really hard to find someone to diagnose an adult on the spectrum).... I think this one qualifies.


In Topic: Is the world better with or without religion?

25 July 2018 - 01:50 PM

I think religion is definitely beneficial. Coming from a person who grew up in a theistic family who went to a lot of different churches at different times I can say there are a good number of truly awful people who would do terrible terrible things if the imaginary bearded father figure in the sky wasn't "watching" them sin.

 

Yes religion causes problems but as Karl Marx once said "Religion is the opiate of the masses" it help a certain set of people from breaking down as it numbs any number of harsh realities, as well as numbing truly awful people in to a fearful stupor. Good people don't require god in order to be good. Bad people don't require the devil to be bad. But some truly bad people are kept in check by the thought of a final judgement, these bad people are usually mentally unbalanced so actual reality means little to them. 

 

I also think religion is detrimental. People use religion to sway large numbers of ignorant people in to being their pawns. They use it to justify on the personal level decisions that should have nothing to do with religion, and in general grind human progress to a near standstill in some sectors. And worse the bad people from the previous statement use their thousand year old book to justify their own hate and to bolster their own feeling of superiority. In some parts of the world these really old books are even used to justify some truly horrendous things.

 

As for how the scale falls. Only time will tell.


In Topic: Sleeping with a married person

Selling alcohol to a minor doesn't really mesh to me. It would be more like selling alcohol to a person you are aware is in AA. What right do you have to force them not to ruin their own work toward self improvement.

 

As for blaming the pimp for cheating? The Pimp can't be held accountable for that and neither can the prostitute just like the alcohol vendor can't be faulted for selling to the guy with his AA chip that is now either in the trash or a blatant lie. The pimp most certainly can be held accountable for workers rights violations depending on how they treat their workers, but that is an entirely different conversation. 

 

As for sleeping with someone who is married blaming the third wheel is a little much. Even if he knew the person was married the truth is that person was going to cheat if not with that person than with another. Just my 5np but if someone cheats on you drop them. They will do it again, they will do it in their next relationship. Whether they are bad people are not isn't really important. This is just the type of person they are and the world would be a little better if cheaters just stated "Hey I'm going to cheat if you aren't cool with that then stop sleeping with the smarmy charmer you met at a bar and find someone who doesn't spend 9 hours of their day every few days trying to hook up with random people."

 

Okay that might have been a bit preachy so skip the first part, here is the conclusion, (cheaters = bad: people who sleep with cheaters = opportunistic: people really think their partner won't cheat again = stupid)
