You’re sort of mixing metaphysical beliefs here.

The Ancient Greek concept of gods don’t align 1 to 1 with the Abrahamic concept of god, etc.

Each faith has a different concept of god, omnipotence, and what that means. It’s also changed over time. For example, the Romans saw wealth and prosperity as signs of piousness, as one would have to be blessed by the gods to possess so much. Christianity (ostensibly) argues the opposite.

Though, in short, god(s) demonstrates human traits because they’re abstractions from humans, the creatures that created them for various reasons throughout history and modernity. To get specific answers about each faith, you’d be better off speaking to spiritual leaders of those faiths.

I was just looking into this. I’ll parrot the other commenter and say the Samsung Galaxy line of a few years ago are solid gets and you can reliably get one for around that price point. I’ll add on Nothing phone’s previous models, too. Get em both from a reseller, not the brand store. Pixel devices have privacy focused 3rd party OS’s that are supposedly easy to use, but I haven’t looked into it.

Fully Linux phones are not quite there yet for the general marker or the price point you want.

If you’re outside the US or in the US and on Tmobile, you can look into Xiaomi or other Chinese devices, just double check that the radio bands actually work with your carrier. Service is better around cities, from what I saw when looking into an Oppo folding device then deciding to keep my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. I’m not sure how they work with hotspotting.

Double check the models as some have SD card slots, some do not, if that matters to you.

Holy shit having any sort of real struggle would kill this worm.

Dudes a fucking plant for sure. He only got that shit covered up when it was reported on during his campaign. He wore that shit for like two decades without doing a damn thing about it. HMMMM. He was a mercenary killing civilians in the middle east for a stint, too. Like, fuck Collins, but this dude is clearly a fucking piece of shit.

In case his nazi tattoo didn’t set off your red flags

Find a drain pipe to shout into, that’s your best option.

Everything else is a nuisance to your fellow humans.

You didn’t do any thinking, you asked a machine a question instead of thinking.

Slop. Delete this crap.

As much as I’m laughing at people spending more than $50 on a kettle or toaster or toothbrush or what have you and calling themselves clever shoppers, I think it’s worth spending on anything that goes between you and the ground, e.g. tires, shoes, bikes, etc.

Though I’m sure that adage has also been incorporated into modern pricing models and every damn thing is a fucking scam to manipulate you into thinking you’ve made a shrewd and balanced decision when you spend just a weeee bit more.

I despise every company with a fiery passion.

How’d you make the images in the post?

You spent 120€ to toast bread! I don’t think you get it…

High price = high quality.

The luxury pricing model has totally enveloped markets at this point and the correlation rarely applies now.

A small propane grill, a table and an umbrella will immensely improve your life.

It’s so rewarding to simply grill up some mixed veg and marinated meats with a beer in the warmer months. Container friendly plants will do well there, too. Stuff that likes lots of sun like hot peppers

Way too easy.

Steam Deck, hands down. It rules being able to play PC games in bed with my partner by my side.

Thanks for clarifying. I’m not interested in seeing anything from a community that allows this kind of drivel.

Have a nice day.

AI slop innit?

Delete this shit and feel bad about yourself.

The steam voice chat feature really improved and is very intuitive to use now. I’ll frequently use that.

I do highly recommend it, though I might recommend checking out someone’s streams of it if you’re unsure. I had watched this dude on YouTube, Quill18, play it for a bit before deciding to get it. It seems like it’s a substantially longer game than I expected which is a nice surprise.

Death Stranding 2 has been a delight to play on the Deck, especially after the performance upgrade patches, though I miss the sounds the PlayStation controllers make when playing it on the PC.

Slay the Spire 2, especially the multi-player, has become a nigh daily ritual for me and my partner to play in bed a bit before sleeping and it runs just perfectly on the Steam Deck.

Ale Abbey is an old tycoon style game about running a monastery that makes all different sorts of beer, with a fairly robust and fascinatingly complex mixture of brewing and economic minigames. And while it’s obviously meant to be played on the desktop, it works very well on the Steam Deck.
