literally just ignore them unless they have a point

There's not much that scares or angers me these days. I have steadily hardened over the years.

Some double standards really make me scream inside, and I found a good example

On e621, there are people that have repeatedly told me that 3D/SFM usage is to be frowned upon because many of the characters used in said art aren't original or made from scratch. And yet, when something is posted on here, it gets a lot of upvotes and the source of said model is included in a URL.

When I do the same thing, post a picture I made with an already-made model, cite the source, the opposite happens. I use the same models, same programs as other people who post 3D and the opposite occurs. I don't get it.

Person A submits models and maps made in SFM and cites source - picture gets praise and upvotes

Person B submits models and maps made in SFM and cites source- gets shat on and downvoted

That there makes me want to punch a wall while screaming on the inside. Freaking unbelievable.

Clearly I must be doing something horribly wrong.

When someone only puts the artist's homepage in the source field and doesn't put the actual image source. It doesn't really bother me much if the artist only has like 20 images, but when the artist has 400+ submissions, ugh.

technological ineptitude. yep, it doesn't get much more annoying than that when it comes to electronics in general.

a while back my aunt was trying to plug her kindle into the tv so she could watch netflix movies on the tv and guess what the problem was. the cord she was trying to use had the necessary USB plug on one end but on the other, the type used for MP3 players. *facepalm*

if the size difference isn't a dead giveaway that it will never work then the shape difference should definately scream STOP and THINK about what you're doing.

i don't want to say aunt and uncle are dumb when it comes to technology but sometimes...yeah, it can make me wonder.

then one time, when i was trying to figure out why i couldn't get multiplayer to work with my free xbox live account (turns out, you have to pay for multiplayer. yeah, no. give me back my free multiplayer on older consoles, ty. that or i can make do with multiplayer on the pc.). i was trying something with our router to see if i could get it to work and even if it didn't (it didn't) work, i knew how to reverse what i had done and next thing i know she starts freaking out and ranting and raving about how technology is pushing our family apart and i'm sitting there with a look on my face, thinking "wtf is she going on about?".

some people...i've seen some of the worst this site has to offer (never click cheese grater!), some of the most wtf it has to offer (hello twerking dino...thing o_O), strangest/disturbing, and a number of other horrifying things across the internet over they years but you never once hear me freaking out like that. not with anything. voicing my opinion on such things maybe but no, i don't do the whole 'freak out' thing.

I'm an atheist so when I see my christian single mother break her back to provide for her three children only to give praise to an invisible god for the very thing I JUST saw her struggle to achieve.

I'm not here to argue if god is real or not, I'm just saying from my viewpoint it's really fucking aggravating and kinda sad.

Your pity is misguided.

From her perspective, God gave her the strength to do what she has done. If you can't understand believing in God, there's no point in trying to understand others' feelings towards God.

I have an aunt that is like that, she works selling homes ("real estate"?) so her income is quite big, and instead of using the money to improve her own home or for her family she gives it to her church...

You don't seem particularly willing to see it from hers. If she's happy with her beliefs, is that your business?

Maybe you don't understand. I WAS a christian for most of my life. And I learned my ways from her. I KNOW exactly what she means when she say's "thank god for giving me this" and looking back on my own times of saying that, I realize now that it was all me in the past.

I never said it was my business. but by that logic my lack of belief wasn't any of her business when she decided to introduce me to christ as a child now was it?

I'm willing to say that it should be illegal to teach religion as the truth to children until they're at least teenagers.

If that's how you want it, it has to be the same with atheism.
And that would be one of the most woefully ineffective laws ever written up, and even if it wasn't, I don't see the benefit.

Fenrick said:
you can't have it both ways. If that's how you want it, it has to be the same with atheism. And that would be one of the most stupid and woefully ineffective laws ever written up.

Atheism is the anti-thesis of a religion. You may compare it to a religion but it's nothing but the absence of a religion, so I am not sure how you want to stop it from 'being taught'.

This is a grossly exaggerated example but you're saying that if you want to outlaw stealing you also need to outlaw not stealing.

NotMeNotYou said:

You really think atheists would never actively discourage religion towards their kids, the same way religious parents actively discourage atheism?

What I'm hearing is "It's not okay to indoctrinate your kids unless they agree with my beliefs."

Fenrick said:

I think nothing should be taught to them until they can think for themselves. Kids are imprintable. Teens are harder to brainwash.

That's an ideal that I totally agree with. But I don't see how that can realistically be enforced.

You don't need to TEACH atheism. I wouldn't need to tell my children not to believe in god. I'd let them reason with it themselves. If they asked me do I believe in a god I'd tell them no and explain why I don't.

If they did say they believe in god. I'd simply ask them questions. and if they realize that they don't have the answers and never will then they can choose wither to have a blind belief in it or not.

Simple as that. No brainwashing required.

To me, that sounds like imposing your beliefs under the guise of free thought.

The only way to truly teach free thought is to show many different faiths- including atheism and agnosticism- from a completely unbiased perspective. And everyone is biased, so that's not gonna happen.

Fenrick said:

I've always suspected that religious people have some kind of mutation that makes them hear things that weren't said by anyone. Now I have a proof.

Guys I get it. You think that your Bible, or some other fantasy book, is much more special then Harry Potter and your fandom is cool and shows right way to live. But could you please understand that not reading fantasy books is not another name of fantasy book? You're worse then bronies, really.

atheism isn't a faith though. but hey I'm down with teaching my kids as much as they want to learn and the things that they need to survive. buuuuut I just don't think religion is something you really need to be a decent person.

And this is the reason why discussion of religion is heavily discouraged. Sooner or later some person on either site starts insulting.

Depends on the context, of course. Walking on an empty sidewalk while doing so is harmless, but when they do it while crossing the road, you have to wonder how a creature with such horrible self-preservation instincts could have evolved.

We are born atheists. Not much to learn here.
I wouldn't expect this law to be upheld that much. Behind the four walls of your home and all. The law would be more of a statement that children don't have much of an ability to think critically.
This law would be more effective with schools and teachers. Making sure that the "according to Christian belief" is added to religion lessons.
