There are multiple housing problems and they’re all probably way more complicated than anyone wants to acknowledge. The highest priority “housing problem” right now imo is that there are people who don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.
In order to solve that problem you need
Building/acquiring housing costs money. If the government isn’t doing its job and spending money to solve this problem we need to
Creating a system to assign individuals to housing is probably the more “difficult” part because there needs to be some sort of consensus on the mechanics of prioritization. I personally think we should prioritize housing for individuals and families with children, but after that I don’t know who we should serve next.
Specifically the most acid trippy chapter of the Bible that describes the end of the world.
That’s super cool, I’ve wanted to do something similar like this but never have had the opportunity.
Who cares if they’re trolling?
What’s the downside to assuming they posted this image in good faith?
Does it upset you that people might have different preferences than what you feel are the “correct” preferences?
Instead of reposting a picture outside of its original context, why not make a post with your own tier list and use it as a way to genuinely engage with other people?
Take that back, Chick Tracts are gold.
I believe the average American inmate is more likely to want a Bible than a Quran.
This is what it feels like to grow old.
It actually makes sense as a campaigning song to me as long as your platform is about trying to address the social problems the song is highlighting.
Probably because your brain subconsciously does color correction (similar to optical illusions) that you don’t notice until you have a direct comparison.
People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone’s name if they’re being abusive.
Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it’d be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?
Hot take: All criteria used to classify ideas and objects into distinct categories can eventually break down. The only reason to pursue the creation of classification systems is to facilitate communication. If we get to a point where we start throwing chairs at each other I’d argue were no longer willing to communicate, and so arguing about whether something is “this” or “that” is no longer a priority. The priority should become attending to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals in the absence of labels.
I don’t think solid state batteries provide as much benefit in smaller devices.
It makes way more sense in the context of this comic.
Good question. I don’t think it’s actually funny so I don’t have an answer for that. I agree with your take.
Oooh, I like your alternative take a lot. The whole idea of the Bible being written as a result of “hearing the voice of God” or being divinely inspired is always a fun topic because it’s impossible to define.
Evidently when John Nash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Forbes_Nash_Jr.) was asked how a logical and smart person like him could believe that he was being recruited by aliens from outer space to save the world he replied “Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me in the same way that my mathematical ideas did. So I took them seriously.”
I always thought people who were “hearing the voice of God” were experiencing the same thing. Something irrational happens but you interpret it in a way that just feels true to you as an individual, and it’s so impactful that you choose to believe and test it.
It’s just my personal speculation. What’s your interpretation of the joke?
I think the joke is that God is capable of creating something without fully understanding it. But the comic seems to indicate that God wasn’t aware of his ability to do that, which I think is a bit odd. Even humans are aware that we can confuse ourselves by creating complex systems that not even we understand. I assume God would also be aware that he’s smart enough to trick himself, but who knows?
