*shrugs* I mean, the "degree" isn't that large? It's 200 acres of land in friggin' montana (which is basically nothing, it's like one third of a single square mile) plus some welfare et al opportunities for a few thousand people, near as I could tell from skimming over it. As US gov degrees go, that's probably less impact than incorporating (or dissolving) a sorta' small town or somethin'.

You know, why are there gay Christians? Doesn't the Bible explicitly say they are not going to heaven.

At most it might say it's a sin, more or less, depending on translation and interpretation. One no worse than, say, drunkenness or revelry or extortion. Probably no more of a hindrance than being rich and definitely no more of one than being, say, uncharitable or whatev'. Lotta' shit's a sin, it doesn't stop sinners from being christian, plenty of denominations that hold it doesn't stop folks from receiving salvation, etc., etc. Doesn't seem to do much to slow down the sin, either, often enough, for that matter, and that still don't stop the sinners from calling themselves or being called christian.

There's a whole bunch of other theological guff that can get involved, but the short of it is it's only a meaningful barrier to being christian if the particular believer wants it to be, and roughly as important to the core messages and whatnot of the bible as whatever horseshit was invoked back when the churches were stanning for slavery. Bible says a lot of other shit a hell of a lot more important than its few lines that may or may not be explicit universal condemnations of homosexuality.

End of the day it's not the bloody bible (or the church, or churchgoers, or you) that decides if you're going to heaven, anyway, so far as christian metaphysics go. Feels like folks like to forget that a lot, some days.

I mean... why? Short term high risk insurance is already a thing in reality, nevermind something that could only be bought immediately after a purge, guaranteeing a certain period to leech money from the insured person. Purge insurance would almost certainly exist, cover acts of purge, and just be stupidly expensive or not pay much out.

2k, according to the wiki, if you actually wanted to know its max health. 3.3k magicka. Immunity to poison and frost, 50% shock resist. The real trick is the 10 point passive restore health (and magicka). If you don't hit hard enough, fast enough, it's entirely unkillable even if you can survive the literally unending (unless you do enough int damage the lich can't cast its spells anymore) spells

Also the shield apparently gives a luck bonus so it's a dodgey 2k hp regenerating lightning throwing arsehole skeleton.

frumple has spent most of the day listening to glitch hop and filtering through 20-30 year old self-help books, mostly christian and "pro-life"

send help

_{turns out I can deffo confirm I kinda' like glitch hop, tho}

Everything aside, she's far from the worst character I've seen in an isekai work. Probably not even in the top hundred on that front -- for all her faults she's largely good intentioned or non-maliciously selfish, not particularly genocidal/casually murderous, don't recall her being rape-y, etc., etc., etc. As isekai goes she's schlock, not shit, basically. Like most of konosuba, heh. Trash, but not dumpster fire trash, I guess.

Mostly just noting the possibility of a relatively low barrier of entry not actually being low. A frictionless 80 degree wall is relatively easier to climb than a 90 degree one, probably, but that don't make it easy. Dude not knowing ways around official resistance would be a kinda' textbook example of a barrier of entry. Not caring wouldn't particularly be, but eh.

Wait, thread name change, but where's gunner-chan?

How are we supposed to make sense of this? Is this a code?
Do you want us bark?

pretty sure GC's more a sit up and shake kinda' person but either would probably work
