I’d say both. Sci fi means there are elements that the story pretends could be possible, which includes time travel (probably not the tardis, but most other methods), space travel, and most alien races probably including one’s like the daleks and cybermen. Fantasy means there are things that the story fully admits are not possible in our world, which covers time lord regeneration.

There’s plenty of other things that are both sci fi and fantasy: star wars, warhammer 40k, and marvel or dc superheroes.

I feel offended, disgusted, and entirely unsurprised. While this is probably the most blatant example of him blaspheming, it’s very far from the first. Even on top of that, him and all the other nationalists that work with him have been dragging God’s name through the mud for ages, really from long before Trump started politics. I can’t say for sure if they believe God exists or not, but they sure aren’t following him.

For context: I’m not American, but I’m very much Christian.

What about people afraid of jellyfish? They’re older than bones

When Charlie Kirk died my attitude was “I’m glad he’s stopped doing what he was doing, but I’m sad that it took him dying for that to happen”. My attitude with Trump will likely be similar.

Trains is the factorio version of “evolve into crab”

Our photographer is a family friend of mine, and he did the photography for another friend’s wedding a year before ours, so we knew he was good.

Assuming both use on board combustion engines, yes. But a train connected to a majority green energy power grid is probably more carbon efficient than most boats.

I’d say it’s more accurate to say the abuse of religion/abusive religion uses the abuse of anxiety. Yes, abusive religious organizations exist, and they all use anxiety about some cosmic punishment to excuse and enforce their abuse. I absolutely agree with you on their existence and how terrible they are.

I don’t think that’s universal and inherent to religion. There are religious groups that are simply good sources of community with either no focus on any cosmic punishment, or that don’t agree that any “cosmic punishment” exists.

A disappointingly common sight from ml

the reason they’re kicked out is so that they don’t eat from the immortality tree

I said that having eaten from the tree of good and evil put them in a state that humans were not designed to be in, so by kicking them out God is basically saying “it’s better for them to die than it is for them to live forever like this”

If you’re not looking for a genuine answer from a Christian, skip this.

First thing: the translation of “the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil” isn’t really that good of a translation. It’s closer to "the right to define good and evil. That means that eating the fruit is basically saying “fuck you, God. Imma do my own thing”. That’s not how God designed humans to live, and is incompatible to living alongside someone as powerful as God, which is why God told them not to eat it.

But why create that tree in the first place? Essentially, choice. When you’re in the supermarket and you see 50 different flavors, but everything is from the same brand, do you really have any choice? Same thing with God. Unless you have the option of rejecting God, choosing to him means nothing.

That’s already a thing in some areas of programming. Block programming, where you just drag and connect blocks, is very possible, especially in game development.

Narrow AI well get better, even faster than normal because of the research that big AI companies are doing now, but attempts at more general AI will stop being profitable.

I have a steam deck, which is in console mode most of the time, but seems fully capable of acting as a desktop. The only issue is the fact that it’s console shaped, but that’s no fault of the os.

I need games to be supported

SteamOS and steam consoles will be really helpful for this I think

Edit: typo

if we want to

The problem is that some of the people who have this hobby don’t want to

I’m almost the opposite of you. I debate when I can, but I always make sure I argue in good faith. My thought is that even if I’m talking to someone who will never listen, someone who will listen might stumble onto the conversation, and learn something new.

That only works if you believe the moon is real, which a shockingly high number of people don’t

I know you aussies have that law that allows us kiwis to join you as another state of Australia, but I hope you know just how fucking impossible it is for that to ever happen
