Of course. Our entire society is built upon generations of knowledge instilled on us by our lineage and what they were exposed to.
Some stuff is black and white. Like hurting other people or causing pain. Things that make sense to not do because they dont feel good. But many of the other moral sensibilities, absolutely! It comes from people before us.
That's not what I said. I said it makes them "feel" they are a better person. And I said that the Bible has teachings that can form someone into a more moral person and that the Bible is utilized by true Christians as a sort of guide to approaching life rather than taking its word as absolute fact. Much of the Bible is false, but its stories make up a moral compass and a way to live life through its meanings. There are plenty of examples of this.
Shitting on someone's beliefs doesnt make one a "better person" but acknowledging that you will never understand it yet supporting their beliefs by not forcing them into your mindset is. People are people and part of humanity is believing whatever you want to believe in. You're allowed to have differences of opinions and still care.
I'm a shill for new Vegas but this is honestly the reason. You have actual mechanical choice, not just dialogue choice. You can kill anyone in the game and the story can still resolve itself. You can play any way and there's probably a way to progress. Go straight through deathclaw valley. Maybe youll make it. Or don't, and go the traditional route.
Theres so much more freedom than the other games. I dont understand how anyone things new vegas is inferior other than liking the railroad and having choice taken on their behalf.
I think that those who have read the Bible (many self proclaimed Christians have not) understand the principle that the Bible is a collection of stories that are used for interpretation of day to day life to give them a more structured moral integrity rather than cut and dry "this is what the Bible says so there is no flexibility". Life isn't a set of hard rules to follow, the Bible gives you guidance, not rules.
That said, I'm a devout atheist. Just an observation about others from someone who was forced into Christianity, questioned it, and left.
I do feel that anyone can believe what they want to, if they feel it makes them a better person or gives them a sense of community.
For large scale communities, sure. But I knew many a small indie game or group who's sole community was teamspeak in the day. It may have not been the mainstream way for people to engage in communities but they definitely did exist in that capacity for some groups.
Yes it is unfriendly but do you remember how it was pre discord? Communities built around vent and teamspeak?
Discord is a step up from that but it needs to remain a community hub, not a full repository of information. "Visit our website" on the main page is necessary most of the time.
Also discord has forum posts. These are awful and you can only have like 200 active posts or some rudimentary and small count which means you cant really use it as a forum (let alone the unintuitive layout of them)
Not a first responder per se but work in disaster management and emergency management
Some people are so... entitled. Ive seen people lose everything and talk to me like its a tuesday. And ive seen people lose a Gucci bag and demand that its a life or death situation.
It was too partisan I think. The ideals of universal Healthcare were not fully realized but definitely did expand Healthcare access, which isn't enough.
I honestly don't think anyone actually informed him of how this would go down.
The president currently holds a cabinet of people and constituents who have, for the greater part of the past 12 years, relied on the ideals of sycophantic behaviour and likewise. To be in the room and suggest that an idea is not good would and likely has turned heads and gotten them removed from their positions. Look at the most recent Removal of the FEMA administrator: bashed on fema previously, incited change, told congress that axing FEMA would be a bad thing, immediately fired and replaced with a sycophant
Lack of informed information because it doesn't align is part of the M.O. of this administration and the GOP for several years now. The only thing that matters is the ideal of greatness, whatever logic that entails.
This individual also has notably refuted and refused to consume media that doesn't tailor to his outlook. Even bashing on Fox, which is the biggest right winged media outlet out there.
My point is, he probably did not truly know what would happen. On paper and in his entourage, tariffs are indeed technically a tax on other countries, but in practice It is a tax on the people.
