I haven’t been happy about TF2 since they added hats and bullshit.

So since 2009? You haven’t been happy with TF2 for over 15 years.

This is why:

“It ain’t stupid if it works.”

is fundamentally incorrect.

It says in the article

Unlike conventional batteries, supercapacitors have an exceptionally long lifespan, lasting hundreds of thousands of charge-discharge cycles, whereas lithium batteries typically last only five years or less.

It doesn’t say what type of capacitor is used

Yes, it does. They’re supercapacitors.

angry tone.

Sarcastic tone, you’re reading what I wrote in an angry voice. Try reading with a happy voice. 😉

that’s 1000+ years of potential change that we have no way of disproving.

What if that’s not the point?

“Oh, but it’s not exactly what that person said!”

So what? Taking sentences out of context is bad interpretation anyway, especially if we aren’t reading the original language with the original cultural context (again, which was over 2 thousand years ago).

You’re arguing for the letter of the law, I’m arguing for the spirit.

I wonder if those stories even matter, like they are from a culture so far removed from us (over 2 thousand years) that the lessons probably shouldn’t be hard interpreted.

We wouldn’t like people to have differing opinions about stuff? Everyone should believe what we believe, think what we think. /s

Maybe this is how the bible was written, rewritten and evolved over time.

Nope. But it is sometimes in how it is interpreted, and translated.

We have biblical manuscripts that date back past 100 BC. Can’t rewrite something which we have original manuscripts of.

Oh no, I never said that they are only separable by time.

You may not have said it, but you typed it. Lets look at the replay.

And you can equate religions and cults because the only difference between the two is time.

It can’t only be time that transforms the one into the other

I agree with you here.

Religion, cults and sects are as concepts interconnected.

Oh, for sure. These ideas are related, but to claim that they are only separable by time is disingenuous.

And you can equate religions and cults because the only difference between the two is time.

There is more difference than time. Cults require a charismatic, authoritarian leader, religions do not. One can be religious and autonomous in practice.

Religions can be open source and decentralised, cults cannot.

Fellas, is it gay to want a woman that wants you?

Idk what it is about masculinity that loves submissive women

That’s insecure masculinity. Men who are secure don’t need a woman to be submissive. She will be with him by her own volition because she feels safe with him.

I ain’t saying it’s easy. Sometimes it’s simple, but simple doesn’t mean easy.

Yes, because there are ways to avoid and navigate major depression. Better to learn them in times of peace than in the middle of war.

Sorry, I wasn’t explaining myself well.

Just because a story isn’t factually true, doesn’t mean that it has no value, or negative value. There are other types of values which can supersede factual value:

• aesthetic
• symbolic
• ethical
• didactic

Truth isn’t always about facts. Sometimes factual statements can be used as a weapon of deceit.

If a narrative is not literally true, does that mean it has no truth value?

“apple” used to be a generic term for fruit.

Oh, that explains the myth that Adam and Eve at an apple, when a specific fruit is never mentioned.

The most likely scenario is that the person with first-hand knowledge misinterpreted the situation.

Exactly. Which is why I started with questions so you could explain more. That’s how a conversation works and prevents it from getting toxic.

These poor men and their sensitive feelings…

Case and point.
