Because the Evangelicals believe that Israel must be in existence at the end of the world of the Antichrist cannot rise and Jesus can't come back.

They don't give one fuck about the history of their own faith, let alone about the Jewish people. It's just pieces on their dominionist gameboard.

Maybe you're thinking of something along the lines of Bishop Berkeley's Theory of Immaterialism.

Essentially, things only exist and continue to exist because we agree that they do and expect them to remain that way.

Also featured in the children's book Mr. Radagast Makes an Unexpected Journey, which I adored when I was younger.

My fighter against an assassin who we suspected killed an NPC in the first session.

We are down in the mud, grappling. I fumbled my sword and he got me good (crit), leaving me quite vulnerable. The other party members were nearby but not in range.

I pulled out a dagger and got a crit of my own, ending his life with less than 5 hp left of my own.

Later that night I realized that dagger I'd killed him with was looted from the NPC's pack. I'd gotten revenge on her behalf, using her own knife against her murderer.

No, this is big. Someone committed to the cause looked at the evidence and reconsidered her opinion.

This can be useful to get through to some that they have been manipulated, that they have been made terrified of education for unfounded reasons.

Anyone converted away is a win, even if not statisically significant.

It's gotta be exhausting to work in a workspace, warehouse, or factory, not knowing which it will be day to day! At least they arrive knowing the random workplace is ventilated!

$265 each per year. That's wild.

My wife got a used car with a Sirius in it. She used it for the free trial but we don't do talk radio so it seemed completely pointless.

Every time I see his name I can't help but think that in college his assigned email address would probably have been ablinken@fuckingschool.debt.now.

I took the opposite tack.

You ain't shit, Pythagoras! You just wrote it down, you didn't figure it out, you absolute fucking fraud. We're taking your immortality back!

Antitrust? Pff.

How about crimes against humanity?

I'm for 'em!

Committed too many crimes, need to get off the planet fast, and can't afford a flight? Starfleet wants you!

That's totally bizarre. Every phrase in that headline is a plot twist.

That was the first computer game I was ever gifted, and the copy protection made it not want to boot on our Apple IIe.

So I'd leave it trying to boot and after a half hour or so it'd load.

There were multiple solutions to every problem and a completely nonviolent ending.

On one screen you'd have to hide behind a tree and wait a few minutes for the giant or ogre to fall asleep so you could take what he had or sneak past. If course the only alternative there was violence.

There were also totally obvious puzzles as the screen drew slowly enough for you to see the hole before the rock you could move was drawn ontop of it.

For anyone thinking "Why, I know the story?" Read it.

I legitimately rented that more than once as an adult. It had no right being as funny as it was.

While I'm at it, if you've never read the original short story The Most Dangerous Game, you should give it a shot.

All you can reasonably do is help him get in touch with resources to help him recover.

And then, if he gets sober and starts to get his affairs in order, you can be supportive.

But his multiple severe challenges coupled with the fact that he has a family who could be supportive of him if he had been supportive of them lead me to warn you to limit your exposure here.

It's too much and you'll get overwhelmed, even if he's able to cope.

But being a supportive friend, knowing he has someone in his life who hasn't fully written him off can still be valuable.

That's more than a bit rude.

They're saying they like the Chinese people despite their government. They admire parts of the Chinese spirit and drive to remember their loved ones.

We can learn even from those we may consider our adversaries.

Can't be based on the books so it's probably the based on the game, LOTR: Gollum.

Are you telling me there's a way for me to become more of a coffee snob?!

Edit: Google says it's not this way and makes for weak coffee.
