Were this any other franchise, I would conceptually understand your reasoning for not wanting to accept the subsequent materials.
If we were talking about Star Wars, we can say with certainty that it was good, and then the later stuff was shit.
But in the case of Evangelion, it was always shit, and Rebuild exists to say: "Yeah it was shit, you were supposed to think it was shit, why did you spend the last twenty years pissing away money on Asuka/Rei figures?".
what do you call the plot point
Flavor text.
What you're not getting is the symbolism of Fuyutsuki turning off SEELE in 3.0.
It wasn't exactly a 4th wall break but there was definitely a metacontext. Sorry SEELE, you contribute nothing to the story (YEETED).
The eventual 4th wall break happens when Shinji is fighting in a cardboard city in a studio in 3+1. If you think EVA is about hot blood and giant robots saving the world, you're in the wrong neighborhood. That's Gundam town.
Uh, well, no...
It's really just Gendo's massive cope about getting Yui killed.
Shinji's whole arc is basically the same as Trevor Hills in American Arcadia... getting mad enough to look everyone in the eye and yell "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!"
MiLB gets almost zero viewership
But good attendance. Excepting the covid years, MiLB is profitable. The money isn't blowing the doors off, but its enough to pay the bills. Baseball has LONG recognized the need for developmental leagues to recruit from, because pitching is one of the most physically demanding jobs there is. Once the Cardinals started doing it in the 1920's, EVERYONE had to follow suit because it was a pitching arms race. You couldn't afford NOT to have a stable of pitchers to call up.
It improves the sport overall to have a development pipeline. The NHL has had it for a while, and the NBA is starting to use it too.
The state of college football is a direct result of the refusal of the NFL to create a developmental league like the NBA and MLB did.
There's a huge disconnect between what ought happen and what will happen. What OUGHT happen is that colleges should drop gridiron football entirely; they aren't going to.
Accepting that they're not going to, what should happen is that the FBS should be spun off from the NCAA and established as a developmental league of the NFL, retaining a sponsorship & branding relationship with their host schools but ultimately becoming a commercial enterprise.
Not every program will survive this transition. And some programs will eventually decide to move.
The black vote is the democratic party's weak spot. It's not a bad strategy as long as you're realistic about what you're trying to get out of it.
You're never going to flip a metro. But if you can win over even 5% that's still enough to prove decisive statewide.
Pretty sure he did.
Your problem is, you're making the progressive mistake of taking the president "literally but not seriously". Supporters know to take him "seriously but not literally". The guy has no filter between his brain and his mouth.
Jigg, this is Kia2. You know who OP means when he says .2%.
I do not believe for an instant that you believe the nihilists are right (that nothing is fundamentally moral or immoral). You wouldn't be here if you did.
i know we as humans made it up
If we "made it up" then the nihilists are right.
Look, this is a CHOICE. If you "know" morality is made up, then all your feelings about what is right and wrong are just you. If you "know" some things are fundamentally right or wrong, then that has to transcend you in order to be projected onto others, it can't just be something made up.
It is YOUR CHOICE to acknowledge a higher source of moral truth in order to give your moral judgements greater weight than your own disapproval. Only the divine can transcend you and encompass your enemies.
Yeah, something like...

Don't care.
My beef is not with the people at the top, but rather with their smarmy useful idiots. I don't care if the powerful wind up owning Argentina as long as Argentina's economy turns around because of the massive cutting of benefits.
I don't care about screwing over the rich and powerful. I care about screwing over the socialist ideologs.
Because tit-for-tat can only explain why it is better for two lions to avoid each other than to maul themselves until one is dead and the other near death. It says nothing about how the lion should deal with the gazelle.
Enlightened self interest has never been enough to dissuade those who KNOW they have an advantage. This is why the overwhelming majority of human history has been characterized by kratocracy.
Which is better? Men killing men to elevate themselves, or men killing men to elevate their god? The former will NEVER end. The latter... supposes that one day it potentially could end, when all are united in veneration of one god and accepting one morality (however bloody the trail may be to get there).
where's the proof
This is the wrong question. You're asking me to prove religion right and the moral nihilists wrong. I can't do this, and religion never set out to do this. Religion itself doesn't beat nihilists, because both religion and nihilism come from unassailable but ultimately untestable foundations. Faith is what beats the moral nihilists, and I can't give you that in words. Even the nihilists conviction that there is nothing beyond is a kind of faith, albeit a pessimistic one.
You either have the certainty in yourself that some things are fundamentally wrong, or you don't. Just as I have the certainty in myself that if someone says they DON'T have that certainty, I am certain THEY are lying.
My understanding of the problem is that the japanese language is uniquely difficult to translate because the listener has to know who the speaker is addressing in order to interpret modality.
To brazenly oversimplify it, in Japanese, "the royal we" is all over the bed.
You misunderstand. My critique had absolutely nothing to do with her and everything to do with you.
There are countless people I disagree with or disapprove of. They're countless because I can't be bothered to count them.
The difference between us TI, is that people I don't align with only exist to me to the extent that their existence intrudes upon mine. I don't actively go searching for people on the far side of the world to hate simply because they would probably hate me if they knew who I was.
I think you'd be a lot happier as a person if you took my approach as your own.
In game theory there is a concept known as tit-for-tat. It demonstrates that in a competitive two participant system, defensive non-aggression is the optimal strategy.
These principles are borne out in nature and can be observed in competition between organisms when no clear advantage exists which would incentivize a first move.
The foundational concept of morality (that it is wrong for one human to kill another human) undoubtedly grew out of evolutionary selection around these principles.
But game theory only offers weak proofs. Philosophers required more... concrete arguments. Hence: god.
We created god to serve as a source of absolute morality. A foundation not based on the fuzzy logic of statistics (which is more than sufficient to guide biology over many iterations; it's good enough for animals I dunno why it isn't good enough for intellectuals but whatever), but absolutes that could apply to all regardless of individual circumstances.
Having created god, in order to empower god it is necessary to ascribe EVERYTHING to god. If you don't, god ceases to function as a tool.
So to answer your question... morality is of god, and your conscience is your personal experience of god.
They've completely forgot that in that period right around 1990, Trump was the epitome of naked wealth without agenda.
That's why his name came up in rap every now in then, because he was everyone's concept of a guy who doesn't give a fuck about anything but reaching the top simply for the view of living at the top.
If he'd wanted the job he could have been mayor or governor of New York in a landslide.
All you need to make a good RPG is four pages out of Dark Heresy v1. Specifically, the critical effects tables. Like, that's literally all you need. Dig this:
Critical Energy Effects - Head:
7: In a gruesome display, the flesh is burned from the target's head, exposing charred bone and muscle underneath. The target is blinded permanently and takes 1d10 levels of fatigue. Also, roll 1d10. This is the target's new fellowship, unless their fellowship was already 10 or less, in which case nobody really notices the difference.
9: Superheated by the attack, the target's brain explodes, tearing apart his skull and sending flaming chunks of meat flying at those nearby. The target is no more.
10+: As above, except the target's entire body catches fire and runs off headless 2d10 meters in a random direction (use the scatter diagram on page 196). Anything flammable it passes, including characters, must make an agility test or catch fire (see special damage).
