arithmetical but not recursive

I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing

You can't debate a religion on what it says. Debating specific interpretations of scripture are what believers have been doing for thousands of years. You can only debate a religion on what it does. What are it's effects? How do it's believers behave? How do they treat believers versus non-believers? How does the religion control it's believers? What do its fundamentalists want, and how does what they want ripple out into even the most progressive sects? What qualities of the religion are inextricable?

Hell, asking what a religion says about property or labor relations usually gets you most of the way there, and the rest of the distance is covered by asking what it says about women.

The purpose of what a system is what it does

A lot of these people prefer a dead boy to a living girl

Hrt saves lives.

is seriously concerning how much the average persons idea of what shouldn't be allowed is anything that they personally think is disgusting

celestia is such a funny character like she's constantly manipulating twilight and friends to do shit instead of just asking and you could arguably frame that as being bc she's a "god" and pushing fate to her design or whatever, except that she engages with the group like a normal and relatable person, which makes it more like villainous machinations, except 90% of this manipulation goes towards things like "I don't want my party to be boring shit again. put my little country girl blorbos in there with zero prep so they fuck it up bad"

you think you've fucked anything up around princess celestia and she's like heh. no worries. all according to keikaku

Celestia instantly makes more sense as a character when you ignore the princess stuff and remember that she's a 1000+ years old wizard. Of course she does manipulative trickster stuff to teach moral lessons and/or cause chaos to amuse herself, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course sometimes she's actually socially awkward and bad at personal relationships and has bad ideas that she thought were good that result in her eating shit embarrassing style, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course she lets the aristocrats and nobles run around being assholes she's still running on wizard advisor programming, she's basically trying to merlin the entire upper class of equestria instead of just a king and some knights. "Yeah uuhhh we'll release the incarnation of chaos himself from his ancient prison because we think this shy girl can be friends with him", terrible plan if you're thinking like a ruler, amazing plan if you're thinking like a wizard. Just look at Canterlot 'Castle' for five seconds and ask yourself if that's in any way a castle. No. Wizard tower, yes. Wizard.

You are so right actually

You laugh now, but they stole my workplace last year. I looked up from my desk and I was just standing in an empty field. Desk was gone too

Cute little rainbow heart for pride month tumblr but how about you stop disproportionally banning trans women and marking sfw queer posts as mature
