Yeah I agree. There are some absolutely ridiculous explanations and excuses, to answer plotholes like that. “The Lord works in mysterious ways”. We have more than 1500 years of made up explanations, to solve made up statements.

Happy accidents.

Yeah, thanks. I appreciate yours too! Its quite a thread you’ve started.

I tried to justify this (if one insists on the existence of a god), through the argument that dangerous and bad things exist in nature as well, such as storms, lightning, floodings, earthquakes, and chimps that go to war with each other etc. and likewise, violent and bad things exist among humans.

However, I cant really convince myself that it’s comparable. Actual evil did not really exist before be came along and started torturing each other. (The church and christians have been through many iterations of hard questions and tough answers to their own riddles, and overall, I think it has been a sum positive for humanity, in trying to explain, and to figure out the question of evil in general.)

So no, I don’t have a, from the hip, justification from god, why evil people would still exist. Perhaps the world just is a better place, with snakes in it, than without. It gives us something good to do?

I can however confidently state that really bad people have been here among humanity many times before, and they have all, in one way or another, left again, and somehow we manage to sustain a world, that is continuously improving and trying to become a better and better place. Getting rid of bad people, snakes, and natural dangers.

I know that there are serious crises and problems we still have to solve, but we tend to forget all the past evils that we have defeated. We are not being actively overrun by mongols from the east, and not every family loses several small children before they reach the age of 5. Most people have enough, and we still keep working to make sure that fewer and fewer people will suffer in the future.

Great photos, really. You have a good eye for details, and I like the ‘appreciation-snapshot’ type of photography, like with the Icom IC-R6, the throttle of the steam ship, the lynx, and the lights in the front landing gear of the airplane.

It reminds me of those moments where you look around, and you notice a pleasing or interesting detail which catches your attention. The more of those moments I have, the more I appreciate the life and the positive in the world we created.

People have put a lot of hours into all the good we have in the world, and sometimes I am reminded through a detail.

Good counter question, thanks.

I am still trying to figure out, in what way I can know that something is actually true and good, besides that is just sounds and feels true. It’s not certain that I am the right agent to decide what is true in the moment. I am partly an animal, after all.

I understand light from the sun, compared to darkness, and I understand how saying something can reflect the real world as factually true, compared to something that is not, ie. telling a lie.

But, that ‘being good is a virtue’, and what ‘good’ and ‘virtue’ mean whan applied, is not so clear.

I clearly have a sufficient and functional understanding of the above, (innate, instinctual and/or learned?), which is why my first comment still works, but I feel like I should be able to verify that my idea of ‘good’ is still true.

Do you people have any good pointers to that?

Honest to god, the most tangible and practical definition that I’ve gotten to, so far, is that meaning comes about, when you strive to do good. Simple as that. Sure, there are a lot of ways to do ‘that’ in the world, but it should all work to some degree.

Strive to make the world better and to do good.

Så er det lidt en ‘lol’ historie at bringe. Vi når klimamålet, hvis alle holder vejret til 2031👌

That’s a really nice memory. I also remember how the bushes would smell from when I was a kid in the garden.

Now my favourite smell is my wife, and I bet some of yours will now also be, “this guys wife”.

Intressant vinkel. I artiklen henviser de til at sundhedsstyrrelsen blandt andet også anbefaler styrketræning eller lignende, til børn og unge, op til 17 år.

Jeg ville egentlig gerne at man kunne linke til to artikler på samme tid.

Denne artikel her siger ikke så meget i sig selv, men det der fangede mig var at DR i samme øjeblik, også publiserer en anden kort artikel med titlen: Børn og unge elsker sport og motion: ‘De lærer at få sved på panden, kæmpe for noget og acceptere nederlag’.

Jeg synes det er pudsigt, at DR fremhæver fænomenet, som både noget positivt og noget negativt, på samme tid. Er det bare mig der synes det? (det er det selvfølgelig aldrig, men hvad tænker i?)

Selvfølgelig kan der være noget uhensigtmæssigt i at en masse 13-årige drenge får Kropsdysmorfi pga. urealistiske standarder fra de sociale medier, og manipulerende influencere. Men, mit indtryk er altså at de fleste går til styrketræning med den samme motivation, som alle de andre unge der finder fællesskab, fysisk udfoldelde, og meningen i at kæmpe for noget, eksempelvis i håndbold som i DR’s anden artikel.

Præcis. :9 Det er hvertfald et opfordring herfra.

Og, hvis jeg lige må svare mig selv, så vil jeg sige at det er en skam at sådan en server ikke kører på thoughts and prayers, men strøm som koster penge.

Hvis man bare kunne gøre noget, som almindelig bruger, af den tjeneste som gode folk frivilligt holder kørende.

Du/i får lige sådan en her ❤️

Really good point

“WOW Local Man STRIKES a MATCH, which reached TemperaTures of MORE THAN 500°C !! 🤯”

That is really how headlines like that sound. Stop writing crap like that. Who becomes a journalist just to write clickbait, seriously?

Sorry for the hate OP, but please post a headline which is less clickbaity. It does not paint the article in a good light, no matter how interesting the subject might be.

Nice. Notesnook is great for sync between pc and phone, but I don’t know the others. Thanks!

You’re right about that. I like how a prime focus on most foss-platforms is the intolerance to hate.

Good point.

And plus, if you can figure out what “the Lord your God” is supposed to mean, then I think the message in the bible becomes pretty clear.

Helt enig.

Jeg skal også have ny bil. Har du set den der nye serie. Den der på HBplus2playflix?

Mig bekendt er det svært for den enkelte at slå op hvem der ejer en cykel efter stelnummeret.

Jovist, man kan se om den er meldt stjålet, men det er jo ikke alle stjålne cykler der meldes. Det er heller ikke sådan at der er tilknyttet ejerskab, og at det kan overføres, som ved biler.

Og, til sidst, så glem ikke at der jo følger en sej app med.
