Re: thinking about leaving the us
Re: thinking about leaving the us I don't get American politics at all. If somebody got a thousand dollars or maybe even less from some coorporation or another, they would be roasted out of danish politics, but in the US, nobody seems to be really worried. It's just crazy to me. I mean, the Democrats are probably on par with some of our most right-leaning parties, and Berney Sanders would probably be center or center left. To be fair, our center right political party is literally called "Left", so it might say more about us than them. And yet, we haven't turned into a communist dictatorship, we still have a free market, and as far as I remember, we aren't doing bad at all when it comes to business opportunities. I think the US could learn something from Scandinavia. The free market is important, but so is keeping everyone healthy, fead and happy.

Re: I am affronted by the presence of god
Re: I am affronted by the presence of god @113As Ethin so elequantly pointed out in the post above, I am afraid a single study with a clear bias isn't going to revolutionize science. On Rhine Research Centers website, at the very top of the page, it says "Building a bridge between science and spirituality" or something simular, which I think is a giant red flag. When they on there page basically admits to having a preset goal that they are working to prove, it just doesn't really cut it for me. That is like all the creationist sites that host there own journals so they can claim to be scientific.It doesn't help, that I couldn't find any other simular studies done by more credible sources either. If it actually worked and produced real results, you wouldn't have to go to some obviously bias website posting there own scientific journal. Something this potentially important would probably be brought in every single one of the scientific papers on biology, medicin neuroscience and probably physics and many other fields.@114Oh, please do! Or even better, seek them out. As said, there is fame, money, a great leap in our understanding of the world as well as possibly making the world a better place, if you can prove it.

Re: I am affronted by the presence of god
Re: I am affronted by the presence of god To all those who claim to possess what you might call beyond normal or even supernatural things, please tell me, why it never seems to work when people try to test these sorts of things. I mean, if you could show these powers or intuitions or energies or whatever you like to call them to consistantly work or have some repeatable, testable effect, you would litterally revolutionize the whole of science and probably the whole community of different spiritualities. Not even could you become very rich by winning the James Randy challenge if that is still a thing or research grants, but you might also better the world if we could utilize these things.Until you remove all the confirmation bias and other such things, I will remain extremely sceptical. Call me a sinical bastard, but I don't believe any of these claims. The human brain is a wonderfully complex thing, and we don't know nearly enough about it. But what we do know is, that it has a great ability to trick itself, seeing patterns where there are none, and generally acting weird, so until we can dismiss these things as the cause of the experiences, I would suggest not jumping to something, which we have no idea of it even existing or being possible.Finally I would just like to finish with a quote I got somewhere on God and power:"Power corrupts, great power corrupts greatly, ultimate power corrupts ultimally."

Re: I am affronted by the presence of god
Re: I am affronted by the presence of god @NocturnusI find your morality argument quite interesting. Please do correct me if I am wrong here, but it sounds to me a lot like you are saying, that you cannot imagine living in a world with no ultimate moral standards.I see one problem in particular with this, and that is, what then, if God doesn’t exist? I mean, whether or not you want to or can imagine living in a world with no God has no impact whether or not there is one, right?Another interesting thing with God and morality is the Euthyphro Dilemma, which simply put goes like this:Either something is good because God pronounces that it is good, which means that God can change what is good and bad anytime he wants, in which case my question to you would be “Would torture, murder and rape be moral if God said so tomorrow? And would you do it, why / why not?”Or, God pronounces that a thing is good because it is good, in which case why do we need God? And here you have the exact same problem as atheist do, namely figuring out where morals come from.I just find It much more realistic and simpler to understand if we say that morals are an ingrained attribute of humans, which we have evolved as a social species, and together we should strive towards a setting hour own moral goal, which we can evaluate our actions upon. I would suggest as many others the maximizing of health and wellbeing and the minimizing of the opposite. It is not perfect at all, but I think it works quite well, and I hope very few people would disagree with the statement. Now, why we should follow it? I think It is quite simple, while the universe or anything beyond our little tiny place in it might not care at all, we do, and that is what matters, it is, after all, our morality we are discussing.I just don't really get the "why does anything matter" questions, I mean, I don't really think things matter in the great picture, but it definitely feels like things in my life and the lives of those around me matter to me, why isn't that enough. Does there really need to be some underlying reason to it all. If you really don't see any reason to live, to love and so on other than God, I really am sorry for you, and I think you should get some psychological help. Please believe me, when I say that I am not trying to insult anyone or anything like that, I just think you can unlock so much more in life if you find value in yourself, just because you are here in this world, it doesn't matter whether somebody put you here or not, whether somebody has a plan for you or not. We are here, and that is the thing that matters.

Re: I am affronted by the presence of god
Re: I am affronted by the presence of god @24I have considered whether or not to write this post for a couple hours and have finally decided to do it.I am sorry, but you have in this post lost a great deal of respect from me. You pretty much did the only small thing that makes me really mad, and that is taking credit from humans and giving it to God. You say that God spoke through the people around you to help you. What little respect do you have for your fellow humans? Have you thought about what they did for you, the doctors fixed your body, and your friends and family kept you sane during all that, they stayed strong for you during your hardest hours, and you want to give all that to God? “How dare you?”, I say. And if God actually exists, and he made your family and friends do the things they did, and they wouldn’t have done them if he didn’t make them, that says more about your family than it does about God.And how cruel is it, that grieving parents must pray to the being that took their child from them not to take their other children? How backwards and evil is it, that you must love and worship someone, who just took your one child and then goes on to say “you better kiss my ass or who knows what will happen to your other children…”It truly sickens me and saddens me, that you find this a fitting story to show God’s grace.

Re: views about 2020
Re: views about 2020 Well, generally 2020 has been really shitty, but for me at least, it has been okay. The only major things that bothers me are the online studying, even though my teachers are doing an amazing job at keeping it even mildly interesting, and the lack of goalball practice, which is one of my favorite things to do in my spare time. At least we got a couple of months worth of real school during autumn.On the positive side, a lot of symphonic metal bands have released or announced new albums lately, which has kept me basically looking forward to upcoming things throughout the entire year.I hope that 2021 will be better, and that enough people will have the vaccine, that we can have some sort of normality, but let's see. At least this pandemic has reminded us, that the universe doesn't really give a fuck about us, and that we probably should start fixing things... Oh well, that is probably to much to ask for right now...

Re: What type of music do you listen to?
Re: What type of music do you listen to? Well, I have a somewhat diverse taste in music. When I was a child, I mostly listened to pop, poprock and rock, and a lot of that has stuck with me to this day. Then, when I reached the early teen years, my focus shifted mor and more towards rock and softer metal, I spend some time listening to pretty much nothing but Evanescence.My style really didn't change much for a couple of years, although, I did start to listen to other things as well as Evanescence again. Then, one day, everything pretty much changed. I had had a Nightwish song on my playlist for a while, Amaranth I think, and I checked out the album. The first song I heard, was the incredible song "The Poet And The Pendulum". At first, I didn't really like it but something must have stuck with me. One day, a couple of months later, I remembered that I listened to a crazy Nightwish song, and decided to listen to it again. I accidentally clicked a live version of it with their newest singer Floor Jansen, and I felt something I have never felt before when listening to music. I basically consumed Nightwishes entire catalogue, both the operatic Tarja Turunen era, the Annette Olzon era, with it's more rock-like vocals and huge orchestrations, and my favorite, the Floor Jansen era, which has pretty much everything.Well since then, I have listened to a lot of symphonic metal, Nightwish remains my favorite, but Within Temptation, Epica, Kamelot and Beyond the Black I enjoy a lot as well.I recently stumbled upon an artist named Arjen A. Lukassen. He creates some of the most fascinating music I have ever heard. He has a project called Ayreon. It is like a combination between different shades of progressive metal, but he uses music for storytelling. He gathers some of the biggest names in the symphonic and progressive metal scene, and gives them different roles in his stories. He has mostly done sci-fi and fantasy stories, but he has just released Transitus, a 19th century gothic romance story with supernatural elements. Although his music takes some time to get into, the experience is worth it in my opinion.Well, I have rambled on enough I think, I will leave some links for you to check out if you have time:Nightwish - The Poet and the Pendulum (This takes 14 minutes, so don't listen if you are in a hurry. It is pretty dark, but verry, verry beautiful as well)https://youtu.be/N4Vfy5yCy-cNightwish - How's the heart (a lot shorter and more folky, a lot easier to get into)https://youtu.be/F8vuyd9M2LUAnd finaly, Ayreon - Talk of the Town (from Transitus, slowish buildup, but rather catchy ... and yes, that is, the, Tom Baker)https://youtu.be/miotXaqJ-Cs)And yes, I said finaly, but who cares, Ayreon - The Day that the World Breaks Down (According to Arjen himself, his greatest creation. Much more heavy, but it has some beautiful parts, very diverse)https://youtu.be/oFuMKdrzPqU URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/577507/#p577507 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Making an accessible collectible card game
Re: Making an accessible collectible card game Well'' I play Magic The Gathering now and then using brailled card sleeves. I know people could probably recognize the type of card that is on top of my library, but I keep my library in the box I keep my deck in. This way, it keeps them from falling all over due to the added hight and stuff, and people have to look over the small edge between the top of the box and the top card. I also don't touch the top card when I am not drawing, to reassure people, that I am not cheating.As for wearing out, not really a problem. I mean, sure, they get a bit worn out after a while, but if it is sleeves with a decent quality, it shouldn't be a problem.As for space on the card, I just write the name of the card, what type it is, with a selfmade code, and then mana cost also with code. And then power and toughness if it is a creature. Then I use an online database called Scryfall to look up abilities.One thing you have to be aware of, is to always buy the same sleeves. With brailled sleeves, you can't just put them in a different sleeve if you want cards in different decks, so all your cards must be the same colour and sleeve type.My methode has worked great for me, but I understand it wouldn't be good in all cases. I only play with friends or if not, then in cassual and relaxed environments, so people usually don't take it super seriously and mostly just want to play some fun games. Therefore I trust them not to take too much advantage, and they trust me to do the same. It would however, be a rather bad idea to show up in competitions with brailled sleeves, I don't even think it is allowed even though you can't see your braille markings yourself.

Re: Please advise me on my situation.
Re: Please advise me on my situation. @DarkI verry much see where you are coming from, however I must disagree.I am only speaking from experience. All 3 times I've used this within the last couple of years, people have later told me, that they were glad that I did it. The trick is, to keep it simple cassual and down to earth, exactly to avoid the problem of isolating yourself. Also focusing a lot more on similarities, for example telling people, that you, as many sighted people do, work out, play computer games etc. This way, you loosen up an otherwise awkward situation where your fellow students don't know if they can ask you questions and about what. I have also had some luck, showing my fellow students NVDA and my braille display, to again make them understand, that while I might be doing things a bit different, I am still able to follow along in class and so on.In my experience, not telling people is the worst thing you can do, and I've actually tried it. I began at a new school, and only a handful of people knew that I was blind. Not many people talked to me that day, simply because they didn't know. I was the weird guy, that didn't make eye contact, and for the most part sad alone or was with an adult. As soon as I introduced myself, explained a little bit about my situation, and told them, that it really wasn't that dangerous to talk to me, people began talking to me and it amazed me how naturally they went about it.People are not assholes, but they might be uninformed, misinformed or simply scared to do anything wrong, and that is why I as well as many of m friends prefer to present ourselves to new people in this way.

Re: Please advise me on my situation.
Re: Please advise me on my situation. Also, be open about your blindness. I have gone through a couple of school or class changes during the last couple of years, and one thing that has worked every time is to ask the teachers for half an hour of the first day. Then just stand up and tell them a bit about your life. Emphasize, that you are a teenager like everyone else, but you have a vissual imparement. Make sure that they know, that you are open to answer their questions, and maybe speak about what you might need help for. It really worked wonders, and show the others, that you are a person that can speak for yourself.

Re: Anyone listen to metal?
Re: Anyone listen to metal? I am really into symphonic metal, and have been since I discovered Nightwish in december 2017. From then on, Nightwish quickly became my favorite band, but I have branched out to Within Temptation, Epica, and lately Beyond The Black, which is an underated band in my opinion.I have noticed, that when times are tough for me, I have a tendency to expand my music taste to include something heavier or more operatic, but when things return to normal, I usually return to my main bands, keeping a couple of heavy or operatic songs but slowly forgetting the rest until I need them again.I must say, that it helped me through some less fortunate times, and I really feel that symphonic metal has something for every mood and every situation.

Re: Let's talk Goalball
Re: Let's talk Goalball I have played goalball since I was 7 i think, which would make it 10 years total. I play both for the Danish youth team, as well as the mens national team here in Denmark. I will be attending A EM next week actually, and I am pretty hyped, even though I know and accept that I am far from making it to the starter trio.I have seen my share of broken goalballs, and I think that it mostly has to do with the rubber of the ball getting old and less flexible. I have seen some hard throws that didn't even leave a mark on the ball, while a rather weak throw with an old ball can break it. There probabbly are other factors as well.And oh yeah, I usually play center, since my defence is quite good and my offence not so much.

Re: Mark Gabriel's Testimony
Re: Mark Gabriel's Testimony Yeah, what is that thing, the teapot flying through space?There is currently no way to proove or disproof that there is a teapot orbiting the earth, but that doesn’t mean we should believe it. And, the fact that millions of people believe it, and those millions of people say that they are more moral because they do, doesn’t make it true. And it deffinetly should not be taught in school.

Re: Mark Gabriel's Testimony
Re: Mark Gabriel's Testimony Untill anyone shows me that anything “supernatural” exists, I will not accept that it is real. But, if it is shown to be real, I will gladly accept it, because science has the right mindset... don’t be loyal to your believes. This means that I can always change my mind if new evidence is found.@bashueYou see, I would say that probably none of the great dictators were originally evil. I think that they became evil by being indoctrinated by their surroundings, in the same way that religion spreads, then they found likeminded people to strengthen their believes, again like some religious people do.And no one claimbes that evolution is perfect in that sence. You know, evolution depends on everyone being a bit different than everybody else, so no, evolution will never create an unfailable human, nor is that what the theory predicts.@vazbulQuite nicely put there!And as I said: untill evidence for the supernatural has been found, I won’t accept it as true, possible yes, but not something to believe in. The burden of proof has been, is and will always be on the believers.Hmm... if the supernatural ever get’s prooven, doesn’t it kinda loose the super part... everything that is real has to be natural, right? What an interesting thought...

Re: Mark Gabriel's Testimony
Re: Mark Gabriel's Testimony @bashueI just don’t get it. I don’t believe in anything beyond the physical. This means, that I understand and respect the far from permanent thing that is life. I don’t see how it anything but increases the value of each and every one of us. If you do believe, that we do have a soul, and that it goes to a better place if we have been good, then you would think sending people to heaven as early as possible would be a good thing, killing babies before they can sin even better.We are a social species, and through evolution, we have gained a sense of what is right and wrong, and don’t give me antievolution bullshit, it isn’t even worth my time.I don’t want to hurt people, and if you need anything but your sense of morality given to us by nature to justify that, then I am sorry to say that I think you should get some help.

Re: Mark Gabriel's Testimony
Re: Mark Gabriel's Testimony Can we not put away these illusions and begin to seek the beauty and wonder of science and nature. I could not imagine a life with religion, and deeply fear the concept of eternaty, not because I, “sin”, but simply because I don’t want anything, peace nor torment, to last forever I don’t think bad of religious people, but I think that religion is just untrue in every way, and have trouble figuring out how people believe so firmly without evidence.That said, respect to those who seek peace, what ever it is that motivates you, everlasting life in heaven, because God says so, or like me, because it is the best thing for the entire human species.

Re: things that make no sense
Re: things that make no sense For me, it is the lack of people, carrying the slightest amount of importance and thus possessing the power to save the world from overheating, that do so. I mean, yeah, money, luxury, nice things right. You know what also is nice... not royaly fucking our own planet out of the category of “somewhat humanfriendly planets”, when that category currently consists of 0 other planets within reach...Yeah... the future does indeed look bright...
