I really like this one from Ico titled Castle in The Mist: https://youtu.be/q9xroa4cMLM

He has some amazing work, IIRC he did Guild Wars as well

You're comparing someone's net worth to someone else's disposable income, which isn't a fair comparison. What you are saying still holds true mostly but it's best to compare apples to apples.

Mindful Solutionism is probably my favorite track from Aesop even after black hole superette came out, such a banger

Fascinating, just read up on the topic. I never knew! No wonder their flag looks so similar.

I have a young child who will be using the web eventually and it terrifies me. I'm going to have to do something to lock it down to keep out the brain rot

Because we've tied all value to capital and the only capital most people start with is their time. Aside from changing the system which I do support, the only thing you can do is play the game the best you can while minimizing the abuse of others.

Here's a source for anyone interested. I just tested my well water where I'm at and it's 10x over the legal EPA limit :( . Might be testing my blood next and heading to the plasma donation center!

Be the change you want to see in the world! Even if it's something small you could help things be better.

Another good piece of evidence I just thought of is the oldest known depiction of Jesus: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexamenos_graffito

It seems the claim might originate with Jehovah's Witnesses in modern times.

Do you have any sources on the claim that it wasn't a cross and was changed later for pagans? The scripture references "coming down" from the cross which to me would imply the one we typically think of.

Also from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impalement,

"I see crosses there, not just of one kind but made differently by different [fabricators]; some individuals suspended their victims with heads inverted toward the ground; some drove a stake (stipes) through their excretory organs/genitals; others stretched out their [victims'] arms on a patibulum [cross bar]; I see racks, I see lashes ... "

Sounds like Seneca, a figure from exactly this time period confirms the type of cross we think of.

Yeah, that's true and it's very upsetting that so many hypocrites would exist within the wider church. I'd argue that someone that doesn't follow the teachings of Christ isn't a Christian at all since that's literally what the word means.
