It's a nightjar ninja who comes in during the cutscene

This is one interpretation of the story, but definitely not the accepted interpretation amongst the varying sects of Christianity.

Catholicism espouses that Mary was without sin, and Protestants generally disagree (Lutherans being the notable exception). They also believe that the trinity is intertwined yet separate (God is the father, Jesus the son, and the spirit a procession of both)

Most protestant sects generally believe that Mary was not without sin, but did indeed become pregnant without sex. They consider Jesus the biological son of God, and therefore fully human and fully divine (this is supposed to be a paradox and not make sense). Jesus is affirmed to be God's actual son in all 4 gospels and several of the Epistles.

There doesn't need to be a "logical" explanation free of contradictions and impossibilities in Jesus's origin, simply due to the fact that he is God, and therefore above human understanding.

Don't give up hope! Both Bilbo and Frodo were called to adventure by Gandalf at 50, and Bilbo left the shire for more adventure at 111.

Of course not, don't be foolish.

Inserting oneself into another's bubble without thought or tact can make one come off as creepy or threatening.

All it takes is thinking with your eyes, ears, and brain rather than your dick.

What would be a good method to minimize gaming addiction in kids?

I agree that time limits aren't ideal, but is there a better solution besides vetting every single piece of media a child wants to consume? I grew up with both, and it just taught me to be sneaky, which then ended up with me exposing myself to some truly awful stuff on the internet

Regardless of how much any teen cares about their after school job, it's just that: an after school job.

This opinion of service work expressed in the OP doesn't seem to realize that if we restricted these jobs to only the people who don't "need" a living wage, then there would be no fast food for lunch, no quick trips to the store during school hours, and no starbucks in the morning on the way to work during the school year. If you want the convenience of near instant food and services at any time of the day, then you need to pay the price of giving the workers a living wage (or we end up where we are today)

What are you talking about? The goldwing has been consistently hailed as one of the best touring motorcycle for almost 40 years. Every long distance rider I've spoken to says the goldwing is their favorite bike for cross country rides, and the ones who have sold theirs for a BMW or Harley touring bike have expressed regrets about changing.

Just because something has a lot of features, doesn't mean it's bad.

Arch is incredibly stable... As long as you know what you're doing. The majority of people who would move from windows to Linux expecting a similar experience won't find that in Arch, unless they're willing to become enthusiasts.

This is the OS version of "it works on my machine"

This is actually a biological phenomenon that most humans experience! Our eyes are more attuned to greens and blues rather than reds, so green and blue light appear brighter as the cones in our eyes are more sensitive to those colors. Similarly, our cones are less sensitive to red so it appears darker.

There's also a physics component to this as well since red light has about half the energy (twice the wavelength) as blue light. However, since there's a difference in energy, the engineer must take that into account when designing multicolor LED applications so as to keep a level light intensity when changing or blending colors.

Here's an eli5 question with some more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/ghx9g6/eli5_why_does_red_light_seem_darker/?rdt=58820

But he's not CEO. He's the director of subscriptions at ubi, so of course he's going to push this line of thinking; his job depends on it!

The good news is that Ubisoft's stock fell ~10% once this soundbite took off, so hopefully other publishers read the room
