Do you really expect me to believe the concept of free will has never crossed your mind when asking this question?

Free will is so obviously an illusion to me (since no-one in recorded history has ever been able to magic their way around causality) that I sometimes forget that most people, especially religious people, think they have free will. I should have stated that.

If free will is real for people tho, then God isn't all-knowing or all-powerful, which means it's not God - unless you use a definition of God that extremely few people in the West or Middle-East hold.

If he does a Fetterman, can he be quickly recalled?

I would mind: if you're all-powerful then why create fascists, human traffickers, greedy billionaires, and the majority of people who are making the biosphere uninhabitable for most genera? And why punish them with hell, when you created them that way? That's just sadistic.

I understand wanting a hell for bad people, because most people do extremely evil things:

• voting to be ruled by openly greedy, sociopathic liars (with only about 1-4% of voters choose ethical candidates);
• giving money to factory farmers and fishermen;
• contributing to human overpopulation;
• etc.;

but I still prefer honesty and saying there's absolutely no evidence that a biblical hell is real.

Some of them actually believe that if they can get you to say the magic words, you'll go to heaven instead of hell.

If I thought I could prevent someone from eternal pain and suffering, and instead have them go to a place where the creator of everything, including... uh... hell...

OK, never mind.

Wow, 43.6%.

"A key factor in this achievement was the use of a new wind tunnel [...] magnetic support balance system"

This makes sense for flying objects, but couldn't this have been noted for objects with wheels - without the magnetic system? Or are the flow velocities relevant only for flying objects?

Don't map makers usually do this with a bordered box with long/lat inside the box? (Or in this case, at least an arrow pointing EbN.)

A problem with uBlock, SponsorBlock, DeArrow, etc., is that it makes viewing sites and videos by greedy assholes bearable, instead of making us boycott the assholes.

I do use uBlock (and SponsorBlock built into a program, along with a site that let's me avoid YouTube's site); but I really should be boycotting some sites and video channels.

I don't need liars like Trump and I don't need liars like religious people. Narcissistic, sociopathic civilizations need liars.

Yeah, "Quake theme" (track 1) for me, especially after a machinima used it; tho some of the "Ghosts" tracks are also favorites.

If you say you're religious you're

• incapable of distinguishing reality from fairy-tales,
• a liar,
• or both.

That didn't stop Christians for the last 1700 years.

Doesn't the USA use the word "calories" sometimes for kilocalories in food? So they divide the actual amount of calories by 1000. They also round certain things down, so that when they say "zero calories", the can can actually have "3600 calories"?
