I think the university I went to phased out the EE requirements the year after me. Honestly, I think it should be required. Understanding how the computer “thinks” is such an important skill.

Anyone who thinks OP asking about Assembly with this meme should play the game Turing Complete. It’s great. You have to design a computer all the way from the most basic logic gates (I think you only get a NAND gate to start), designing an ALU and CPU, creating your own machine language, and writing your own programs in the language you designed, and it’s all simulated the whole time. Machine language is pretty advanced as far as things go.
Except that it was totally painless. It just works without an issue. This time it was Garuda, and part after install it ran an assistant where it could install a bunch of other applications for you too. It’s incredible how easy the process is compared to Windows.
We also have dragons and other things too!
I switched Linux distributions last night and it took maybe 15-30 minutes (including download time) and I’ve had no issues (once again). I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that crap anymore.

They don’t deserve praise for not doing something bad. They deserve praise when they do something good that they weren’t forced to do.
They didn’t do this from goodwill, but because it was predicted to hurt the bottom line. They’ll do it again as soon as it’s forgotten about. This isn’t the last you’ve heard from this.
I decided to play Commandos (1998) and it worked as perfectly fine as it would on Windows. It required a fan patch to support higher resolution and 16:9, but that patch worked fine too. The only large issues I’ve experienced so far are with multiplayer. For example, The Finals hadn’t updated their version of Easy Anti-cheat to a version that supported Linux so it didn’t work for a while, but it does now. That might actually be the only game that was an issue for me, and now it isn’t.
You’ll still be using proton in Lutris or Bottles most likely, at least for games. Proton is just a compatibility layer. Proton is absolutely not focused on handhelds. It’s just performance improvements for Wine for Windows games.
You may be thinking of SteamOS.
I think it’s much more likely that right wing people are much more willing to voice their opinions when anonymous, that than anonymity makes people right wing. I think generally people on the left are more than happy to have people aware of their morality, but people on the right want to keep it quite that they’re assholes.
I’m going to use your comment to tell people to download Indie Wiki Buddy. It’s a plug-in for your browser that redirects Fandom to independent alternatives. I highly recommend it.
Although it does mean that stupid people never say yes, so this is dumb to start with.
No, they believe it fundamentally changes into the body and blood. It’s a nonsense meanining of the language from a measurable reasonable view of the universe, but they mean it does become that thing, but it’s undetectable so it can’t be tested. I don’t know what you’re arguing about. You either misunderstand what I’m saying, what they’re saying (which I’ve barely said anything, just copied what they say), or you’re just arguing for the sake of it.
The believe it actually becomes his body and blood. It literally becomes that, undetectably. It’s in a sense that is unmeasurable and undetectable, so that it can’t be debunked and can’t really be questioned beyond questioning the pretext of it happening. They do believe it literally is the body and blood of christ though. There’s no strawman there. I could construct one if I wanted to, but it’s totally unnecessary, because the real thing is absurd enough. It’s not my fault that the mystical language doesn’t gel with a realistic, scientific, physical understanding of our language.
I was responding to what you said about debunkers earlier, so it was not an non-sequitur. It was directly responding to your comment, although bringing that up was a non-sequitur. It had no relevance.
What? You can’t just say things and make it the case. It absolutely follows. It’s literally the whole point of what I was discussing. Talking about debunkers was the non-sequitur. It did not follow from discussing how crazy the claim is to talk about other people trying to debunk totally unrelated things.
You’re just saying names of logical fallacies seemingly without any understanding of what they mean and when they apply, hoping others will fall for it. There wasn’t a strawman before, and I didn’t make a non-sequitur statement.
I’m not pointing out something that can be debunked. I’m pointing out that it’s crazy spellcasting stuff. The dogma is that it becomes that thing, just that it’s undetectable to us. It’s untestable, so obviously I’m not claiming anything about debunking. I’m saying it’s crazy. If a modern person outside of a religion said those things we’d institutionalized them.
I’m not the one overanalyzing. I’m just taking their word for it.
["Something happened at that last meal that Jesus celebrated with his disciples, something that had never happened before: Ordinary bread and wine were transformed into the body and blood of Jesus, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity. I’m sure the disciples didn’t fully understand what had just happened, nor what would happen when they went on to celebrate “Last Suppers” with the early Christian community.
Yet they believed and had faith in the Lord’s words, even though they didn’t fully understand them.
For Catholics today, not much has changed. We believe that at every Mass, bread and wine become Jesus — his body, blood, soul and divinity — even though we can’t fully understand how it happens. The miracle of the Eucharist is a mystery, something that human reason and intelligence can never fully grasp."](https://nwcatholic.org/voices/cal-christiansen/how-can-i-explain-transubstantiation)
I know it’s easier to just say it’s a metaphor or whatever, but this is what the dogma of the church is. You don’t need to agree with it, but that doesn’t change it. Most Christians don’t believe this, but the Catholic church does. However, whenever anyone does anything that appears stupid, it’s easier to just say “you didn’t get it, it was a joke” or whatever. “Trump didn’t actually tell people to drink bleach, it was a joke.” Its a more convenient thing to think instead of having believed in something that has such rediculous beliefs.
Yes, the essence of it changes, but it’s somehow undetectable. It becomes his body and blood, but you can tell using your senses. Yeah, it doesn’t really make sense and language doesn’t seem to work well to describe it, because it’s insane. That’s the dogma of the Catholic church though. It also isn’t the most crazy thing you’re expected to believe. If this is an issue for anyone, they probably shouldn’t believe in the religion at all.
Then you are changing the nature of unicorns.
Sure, as is my right. This is what happens with religion constantly. For example, Pope Benedict XVI believes in evolution and the big bang. These remove the domain of God from creating all creatures, the earth, etc. Sure, it still leaves room for God to start it all off, but it is changing a fundamental aspect of creation. It’s the god of the gaps.
There are 20 major religions
There are currently 20 major religions. There have been many more through human history. The vast majority don’t exist anymore. Two of those, Islam and Christianity (plus Judaism), believe in the same god. Abrahamic religion all comes from previous religions though. You can compare the stories in the Bible to stories of other beliefs in the region and they match, though some aspect vary. Religion evolves. (Which I’d argue is evidence that it isn’t correct. If it were correct it’d never change.)
The prevalent existence of spirituality in Ethnic Tribes is an argument for spiritual element in humans. I will assume that we are in agreement on that point.
I agree it’s an argument for humans to believe in something spiritual, but not that it’s accurate. We don’t need to explain lightning with something in the sky fighting or anything anymore. We don’t need to explain mountains with gods having risen from them or anything anymore. Spirituality in humans is evidence of humans wanting an explanation for things, regardless of their knowledge of how it actually came to be, and nothing more.
It also gave me personally some benefit to my mental well being.
That’s good. For me it was only a negative influence. It didn’t make me feel better and only told me what to do. I don’t agree with many morals the Bible teaches (and neither do most Christians), and I’d rather have morals that treat people well regardless of what they or I believe. I don’t need religion to constrain my behavior, and it would prevent me from doing things I want to do and cause me to do things I don’t want to do.
If it’s a positive for you then fine, though I’d argue there’s probably some other religions that have better effects. When I was poking at religious beliefs when I was a teenager I really liked Buddhism. It’s a much more relaxing religion and makes much fewer claims and demands. That’s how I became an atheist though is I learned about other religions and noticed they all have equally valid claims, so I just don’t believe any.
There aren’t evidence that unicorns don’t exist but there is certain probability that they don’t exist. If so far no one spoted them then a) they are super rare (they would need better luck than Dream) or b) they don’t exist
If I believed in unicorns I would probably just say they’re magical so they can avoid detection. Problem solved. There’s no way to collect evidence for them, but they can’t be disproven.
There are certain aspects of the world that skew the probability for the existence of God. Prophets, teachings and miracles of Christ, possessions, various apparitions, time before big bang. These things slightly skew the probability of existance of God but certainly they don’t provide definite answer.
These do not really skew the probability for any god in particular. Every god has the same claims, and there are thousands, if not far more, of them, and they’re usually mutually exclusive. Using probability, if they’re all equally probably, the probability you were born to parents who believe the correct one is effectively zero.
Now there’s Pascal’s Wager to deal with, that is you’re better off believing because the finite things you give up in this life weighed against the infinite reward if he’s real. However, again, every god has equal claim to this wager, and they’re mutually exclusive. You will give up something measurable and there are effectively infinite petitioners, so the wager is hardly even worth discussing. It’s just apologetics.
All the best games sound like jobs when you describe them.
