I've always said the way to do it was to have broad continuity on the flagship titles (amazing, uncanny, adjectiveless, invincible etc.) And then have the ultimate universe which would have a mandatory reset every 5 years. Do "new stuff" and reimaginings as desired, knowing you're not ruining anything or writing yourself into a corner.

You can end the world as often as you want to scratch the cosmic itch. And do all your "What if Betty brant was iron man" stories too and nobody could get too mad.

I would agree that the rot began far earlier than we'd like to believe. But I think it's a function of human evil, rather than a concerted movement so to speak.

I suppose the difference is that back then things were bad on their own terms. A hack gets a gig or some executive shits his pants.

Now it's completely intentional

Fair enough.

I suppose I am more just surprised about how intense it was. It could have been written a week ago.

As with everything. Look for who pities the ox instead of the donkey.

I didn't come out bitter like the above guy, but I came out with a superiority complex the size of Santa's naughty list filtered to Google employees.

My college peers were pathetic. They wrote like shit. The standards were pure unremitting garbage. And the professors were complete idiots. They couldn't catch subtext for one, and read so haphazardly that started replacing whole pages with spaghetti logic and still passing.

Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? Inflation and MMT with zero jargon.

Freakanomics. About unintended consequences and incentives.

The latter for an advanced kid. The former is written for middle schoolers and hits everything easily and simply.

It's also literally the only economics book I've read that defined inflation correctly.

It isn't ironic. Because you're retarded.

That was the point of my comment. To call you retarded.

I should have realized however that you'd be too retarded to figure that out, and so I should have done it more explicitly.

So with that in mind.

You're retarded.

I seem to be in the minority but I loved the taker spot. Sure I wish he had the hat, but he's always been the Judge and equalizer. He serves justice, and it's his own inscrutable justice.

That's how he's always been best to me, and I liked seeing itm

Not to powerlevel. But when you're that kid... you know it. It'll take you YEARS to understand it. But you'll know.

I knew when I was 7. It's just the way of things

Your comment may be one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

First paragraph begs the question so hard it hurts.

As does the second. Because being responsible for something quite litteraly has nothing to do with being able to affect it.

Third begs the question AGAIN by ascribing meaning exclusively to free choice which... is retarded. "Making God look worse" is nonsensical. God is, regardless of how an idiot feels about it.

It absolutely does if coupled with omnipotence as choosing not to act is to permit what happens.

Even if that wasn't logically obvious to any body who took the time to think it through. God's Will being ordained long before creation is well established biblically, both in the old and new testament.

Regardless of anything else. God sets every atom in place in perfect systematic understanding of their interactions. To introduce randomness to his perfect system with some sort of "free will" wouldn't even work, since the consequences of Free will would already been known to him, and alterable or avoidable at his pleasure.

Even the act of granting free will is by definition deterministic for an omnipotent omniscient being.

It wasn't rumors. You can read the New Zeland site for details. The bell was rung years ago, and bright's peers covered for him because they liked their private furry sex chatrooms for mods only.

It was a complete open secret, which is why if you ever dealt with the SCP staff (which I did a long time ago) you'd know the only group more clique-ish in all the world is Mafiascum, or perhaps the 25 years of VtM podcast.

Legitimately, I could go on forever but the SCP community is bar none the worst group of people to exist. Petty, self important, arrogant, cruel, pathetic, deviant, degerate sex pests.

Seriously, there was a blowup about 5 years ago because somebody found out the staff had a private chat where they regularly talked shit about various users who "technically could be banned bit were awful" up to murder fantasies imbetween their sequel role-playing.

They got busted and the userbase demanded that all staff chatrooms be public. Essentially, they refused.

"Do as I say!" No "Omggggg so child3sh lollllll such BABIES get OVER it"

Do they even hear themselves?

Oof, now the only God worthy of worship is an imperfect one. Again, enjoy the God to whom men are mysterious I guess.

Definitionally. You don't know what the words responsibility, sin, grace, will, fate, or God's nature refer to.

But sure. God gets tricked all the time, isn't omniscient, and is the father od chaos.

Like I said, believe what you will. But the God you imagine is a God of failure, not one of glory.

I mean. None of that is remotely biblical. But you're welcome to believe what you like.

I'm going to assume you misread my comment and let you try again.

The alternative is that you aren't capable of a conversation, so really my response doesn't matter.

It is preordained. God's will is never violated
