The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXVIII

These tanks sure helped the Tianmen man to get canonised, don't you think?

 

[Arakhor]

Just imagine what would have happened if he'd thought, "Armour getting out of here" before the tanks arrived.

I think it may be against RD standards for me to ask this question in either of the threads that inspired it, so I'll ask it here:

Is the universe fine tuned for eternal damnation?

Whaaat?

Enough of this, now, please! Get back on track, or you'll be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

This already blitzed through the barrel into the very bottom.

If you don't mind me pointing it out, I think that's a highly explosive remark.

 

[gay_Aleks]

A piercing remark.

How do you stop a cat from crapping in the house? This is an indoor-outdoor cat who's always gone outside. But the weather has been so cold, he's stopped going out, and started crapping on the floor. There is a litterbox, and the cat does use it. And craps on the floor anyways.

This is what a vet nurse told me:
The litter box should be clean.
The cat might not like the sand you're using, try varying.
If it has had some kind of trauma in the litter box, it could detest the place.

I also know a case of a big cat who went on the too small litter box, but couldn't crap inside it due to filling it almost entirely.

If the cat pisses inside the house, it might be a sign of stress and/or disease. (Also, it can be sign of a litter box it doesn't accept).

And sometimes there is no permanent, 100% fix. Keep that in mind - though I hope this isn't the case for you.

I had an extraordinarily hard time house breaking one of my dogs. It was extremely stressful whenever he'd make a mess, even when it became a rarity. Now he only makes a mess maybe less than 1% of the time he uses the bathroom (as opposed to my other dog that is 100% compliant). I've just accepted that he'll never be 100% and it sucks, but I certainly stress less about it. While that doesn't fix the problem, it makes me feel a lot better about it.

If the Abrahamic god is the real god, then all people are going to hell. Because there is no person who is not included in a group that some other group doesn't claim is going to hell.

 

[Joecoolyo]

Not all Abrahamic religions condemn non-believers to hell. In fact, not all Abrahamic religions believe in hell.

On a vaguely related note, is there a Jewish hell? I've never really understood it as answer seem to range from "Yes" "No" to "Sort of".

The point is that for every single person there is at least one Abrahamic religion promising them damnation.

I'm no religious scholar, but from growing up in the culture and the religion if it exists I've never heard of it. I do maybe recall mentions of heaven, or I might be misremembering. If anything, it's never the focus at all. Judaism is entirely concerned with what's happening here on Earth and doing good deeds. I think my dad may have told me that the only people who know if there's an afterlife are dead, so there's no point in speculating.

Looking things up on the internet seems to confirm my ideas. Any sort of hell speculation, or speculation on the afterlife, is limited to non-religious texts. Basically just the musings of random philosophers.

The point is that for every single person there is at least one Abrahamic religion promising them damnation.

Christianity and Islam really ruin all the fun don't they?

The universe isn't tuned at all

 

[Borachio]

If it isn't tuned, how do you explain the music of the spheres?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Can anyone tell me what in Cities: Skylines is unique compared to SimCity 4: Rush Hour? I'm wondering if I should watch the hours of videos in my YouTube subscriptions and eventually put the game in my wish list.

That we cannot hear while this muddy vesture of decay doth grossly close us in.
