Discussing axioms and faith are two completely different things. We decide to set up some axioms and look at the consequences. Inside math, we never pretend that the axioms are "true" in some fundamental way. Faith, on the other hand, is just believing stuff without any reason to do so.

Of course we pretend the axioms are true.  In fact that's exactly what we're doing, setting up some ideas and pretending they're true.  Math is all made up.  As is propositional logic, etc.

I bought some Macbeths and they hurt my achilles tendon something fierce.  I either have to buy shoes that have some sort of dip behind the tendon (like many skate shoes) or high tops that don't end near the tendon.  Globes and Vans tend to have a lot of cushioning around there too.

Ugh, this thread is like a mind virus.  Now I can't help thinking about my posture all the time 

As soon as treadputer is assembled, this scrunched-up ball I often seem to find myself in will just be a memory.

WHY, Stan Lee? WHY?

Cash cow goes moooooooooooo

I thought it went cha-ching

Oh, I thought it was because magenta isn't a "real" color (doesn't have a corresponding wavelength,  http://www.null-hypothesis.co.uk/science/strange-but-true/profs-probings/colour_spectrum_magenta_complimentary_bizarre), which I thought was odd since it had nothing to do with indie game dev :/

Wow, this is cool.  I wonder if there are animals whose brains work like ours for light except that they don't "close the loop".  Or if we could model that type of vision and see what the world would look like without magenta.  ...That is, for those of us who aren't indie enough to already know.

they actually did use two dimensions in a few cases where there was a significant secondary religion: for instance, look at the darker greens of africa, or look at how they have a different category for 'shintoism and buddhism' and 'buddhism'. so i do think they take that into account.

I agree it's "good enough".  Just a bit broad and I'm just nitpicking.  Also, what is France supposed to be?  It looks like a combination of gray and purple?  

in most cases though, countries do not have significant secondary religions, and in most cases they have a majority religion which pretty much everyone belongs to and you're thought of as "different" if you do not belong to that religion. so i think it reflects reality in that sense for most of the cases: e.g. the US *is* a christian nation, whether we atheists want to admit it or not. for instance, my city (paterson, nj) has the second largest muslim population of any city in the US (after dearborn, michigan) -- yet there are still at least 10 churches for every mosque in this city.

It could just be that Christians typically use more churches (and/or different kinds) than Muslims use mosques.  But yeah, it was probably some high-power church or politician(s) that felt the Muslim presence in Paterson was "threatening our Christian nation" and installed churches to in effect gerrymander the district.

this is the thing that made me smile the most in this entire thread.

You're just not indie enough.

Just over memes.

By Penn's definitions, it's possible to be atheist and agnostic at the same time.  Change the poll.

@paste - how else would they have designed the graph? state by state? city by city? person by person (using subpixels?) -- it seems like any other method would have even more problems than they method they used (majority per country) -- i don't think they meant it to imply that everyone in a country belongs to the religion it's colored, that's just how maps work. if it were a map of, say, sugar consumption by country, it doesn't mean that everyone in a country that eats a lot of sugar eats a lot of sugar.

But sugar consumption is something that is easily measurable on one dimension, so a grayscale can easily show the average sugar consumption, say, per capita.  But with multiple religions, it's not measurable on one dimension and that's the problem with the graph. 

For example, if a country were 51% Christian and 49% Wiccan (spread out evenly, geographically), then the country would be in purple on the graph.  If many countries were like this, with different majorities but the same large minority, the minority would be the dominant religion in the world, but would not show up on the graph.  Granted, it's probably not like that and the graph seems accurate enough.  I'm mostly nitpicking; this seems like the thread to do it in.

this is the thing that made me smile the most in this entire thread.

some graph

according to that graph, everyone in the US is Christian?

i'm not sure why you would say that. what leads you to believe that?

because the graph showed the entirety of the US as purple, i.e. Christian.

I have arrived to salvage the rotting carcas of this thread and recycle the fluids within to gain as much feesable biogas to power the world for an atosecond of AWESOME. <3

So, anyway, why isn't there a thing thing that shows how many topics you have that ave atleast 10  or something like that. Can I get a  for this topic? It displays insanity very artistically.

No.

Why exactly do you want to raise your level anyway?

Will it be more than just a tech demo after this?

@Jared C: the way i see it, there's a jewish ethnicity and religion.  just because you're jewish ethnically doesn't mean you subscribe to the religion of judaism.

Here have a playthrough of the normal mode of Tealy and Orangey, why not? Game by FreakyZoid/Anthony Gowland

Also, I started Rakugaki-Otoko's game, RotAKoKo; something to play while I'm waiting for Jack to be finished!

Also, two more Crystalis videos.

Enjoy!

Also Super Meat World is out, along with the Potato Boy mod that makes all things meat into all things potato.

I assumed the thread was bumped for this reason but it wasn't?

Me too.  I thought it was some kind of April Fool's joke, because I couldn't get the SMW levels to work until I realized you have to use the mouse to select them.

but... Bill Hicks is dead

Long live Bill Hicks
