@LukeAlmighty the god of abraham is a deeply insecure and mean spirited child with less emotional maturity than the average adult male. there are a lot of good principles in the abrahamic religions but their conception of their god has always repulsed me.

There is one fundamental problem I cannot get over. There are obviously christians, who take christianity through a spiritual lense. And I do understand that kind of a religion.

But... I have been listening to christian apologists ever since I was a child. And I know, that this kind of a god was NOT what they were talking about. Neither the first mover nor the Pascal's vager are connected to the inner beauty of the world. The eternal hell I was promised and get threatened by is not connected to the inner piece this connection can bring.

So, even if I accepted this God, I still could never call myself a christian. Because I know, that it does describe something different, then what I would mean.

And yes, it is a problem, that I simply cannot get over. I feel disgust whenever I hear christian language. I will pray for you is closer to an insult then a greatful act.

Have you ever heard of this problem before? What do you think?

They're trying to suss out if you are a libertarian but they're retarded and do not understand the argument for libertarianism. (I'm not sure I do either but I understand it way better than these retards)

When a person get's depressed, they don't usually tell anyone, but there are signs.

Wow...
They seriously tried to write this question in a neutral way, but they still fucked up.

How can homosexuality not be against my values, when I want kids?

@LukeAlmighty trying to explain to my friend that i was a liberal until i got shadowbanned from the school newspaper and grilled by a teacher for saying a trans girl should try to focus on feeling comfortable in her own skin and not worry about what gender she was so much in the absolute nicest way possible. fuckin drama clique ratted me out and from that day on i started questioning things...

I cannot believe the right is so psychotic. They literally want you all dead.

The #BestVidyaGirlContest has ended, and Metroid's Samus Aran is our winner! Samus looked amazing throughout this entire tournament, and ended up defeating another formidable contestant, Fate's Tamamo, 57% - 43% after 387 votes. Interestingly, this result ends up making Touhou's Remilia Scarlet look like the 2nd strongest girl of the tournament, given how she actually managed to bring Samus all the way down to 54%. That result is probably a bit misleading (Samus definitely powered up for the final match, getting 222 votes and breaking Tamamo's old record of 200 votes against 2B), but Remilia still deserves the shoutout, especially considering just how badly she got screwed over by the bracket.

We'll see in the following days how Samus will be celebrated. Also, I'll be doing a recap of the whole tournament over the coming days/weeks, including writeups of every single match. It will be a fun trip down memory lane, and man, do a lot of these matches look very different with the benefit of hindsight. And after THAT, we'll talk about potentially retiring Samus from future tournaments, given just how unbeatable she looks.
I thought there could be a new incarnation of the contest where the gimmick* is East vs West; but then I wondered what could yellow zipper heads like Samus Aran or princess Zelda do against Western heroines like Aloy or Abby.

So, @ChristiJunior , how many nominees, whether they made it into the contest or not, were from Western games?

*gotta start thinking in terms of gimmicks like my hero Shiggy. No gimmick? No content.
@ChristiJunior In case you ever wondered why there's so much art depicting Samus hanging out with Pikachu, the answer is Smash Bros: in Brawl's massive adventure mode (The Subspace Emissary) there's a whole little arc where Zero Suit Samus rescues Pikachu from the villains, then he helps her get the Power Suit back, before the two of them fight Ridley together.
