I see other people have posted good explanations, but I think the simplest explanation has to do with how you break down numbers. Lets take a number, say, 124. We can rewrite it as 100 + 20 + 4 and we can rewrite that as 1 * 10^2 + 2 * 10^1 + 4 * 10^0 and I think you can see why anything raised to the 0th power has to equal 1. Numbers and math wouldn't work if it didn't.

Unfortunately this doesn't really faze Christians at all because many of them believe that God is the source of all that is good, and so by default anyone who worships God is also good by default, and of course this logic follows that anyone that doesn't worship God is evil by default.

Also, barring that, just because Satan punishes bad people doesn't make him good. He punishes bad people because he's jealous of God's love for Humans, and he hates them for it. He's more of an antihero I guess if you really wanted to paint him in a somewhat good light.

I've definitely noticed a difference since transitioning to female when I go to a hardware store I get asked if I need help way more than before.

It's a combination of all of the above, I'm sure. Probably some sexism, but it could also be that now that I'm happier I project a friendlier attitude making me more approachable. I guess I'll never know!

I've definitely noticed that women are muuuuuuch friendlier toward me since transitioning which is really nice. Other women meet me eyes instead of averting it and usually flash a genuine smile (not a sheepish one like before), and will usually say something even if just a quick "hi!".

On the other hand, men are much more standoffish and weird around me, which I'm totally fine with lol

It's crazy that we gave away so much real estate to cars like in this cartoon and how we let the auto industry start blaming pedestrians for getting hit by cars rather than the other way around.

YESSSSS! I've been saying for years that it's time for a Highlander reboot. The original series is hard to watch now because TV writing, special effects, and stunt choreography is so much better now! A Highlander series would be amaaaaazing today! SO PUMPED!

Also, Henry Cavill is SUCH A GOOD CHOICE! He's a huge nerd that takes his roles very seriously and loves to keep the show lore accurate and deep!

We're not enemies as soon as a Windows user walks in. Or... Uuuugh.... A Mac user.

I'm not sure where you're getting that idea from. Almost anything designed for Windows works flawlessly through WINE or Proton. If I do run into an issue I usually find that Windows users are also having the same problems so it's not a Linux compatibility issue. Every once in awhile I'll have to run winetricks or protontricks to install a dependency. Overall, Linux compatibility is pretty incredible these days, in my opinion.

It's definitely from other instances voting on it. For example. I'm on the @kbin.social instance but I'm commenting on your post from @jeemy.jeena.net

Also, this doesn't really have to do with your point but it's interesting none-the-less, it's really hard to keep view count numbers accurate when you've got multiple servers involved. The view count is accurate and every view is being counted, but any time you look at it, it's not exactly correct. If you think about how each server might get a view count update from the server at different times, and then add the views that only it sees to the view count, and then when it goes to add it's view counts to the central count and get a new updated number there may have been dozens of other server that have updated the view count at various times between then and now.

It all gets very complicated but I think it's kind of neat that a view count number can be accurately kept track of and yet every time you look at it, it's not exactly correct.
