I know this Christian Pastor who I am friends with. He has been trying to convert me to Christianity but I have been able to turn the tables on him. I've brought up issues with Paul, issues with the trinity, holes in bible stories that resolved in Islam, and other things. He is actually questioning Christianity. The biggest stumbling block for him is accepting Muhammad (pbuh) as a true prophet.

I have already mentioned the "comforter" argument, and the argument that Muhammad fulfilled the prophecy that Abraham sons would control everything between the two rivers. He does not reject these arguments, but does not accept them either. I need a bit more to push him over the edge. What other arguments are there that a Christian might accept? Please post as many as possible.

This has happened twice now. Both times I started as Saudi Arabia and united the middle east through diplomacy.

The first time when I got big the African Union asked for aid and I gave it to them, then the next round a bunch random African nation just started joining my nation creating the worst border gore you can imagine.

The second time it kept trying to annex parts of India and I kept having to ask it to undo it. it also tried to start a nuclear winter from North Korea nuking South Korea, even though they don't have anywhere near enough nukes to start a nuclear winter. America was collapsing and Texas and California were helping take it down from the inside. I worked with Europe to create a planned stable collapse. When it happened it didn't give all the states to the territories we planned out and instead only gave bits and pieces to what we planned and had me annex the rest including territories America took from Venezuela. The border gore was horrible.

Why is the ai so dumb? I get that it's just a glorified autocorrect, but even civilization games have more coherent ai.

I can get that Christians might know more about Christianity then any other religious group, but I always come across Christians who think they know more about my religion then I do. I've seen this happen with other religions as well. And it's always strawman arguments and purposefully misrepresenting the religion they are trying to argue with. I've seen articles that are "how to refute ____ religion and convert them to Christianity" and the information about the other religion is wrong and not even what that religion believes. And when they get caught and called it they start saying stuff like "oh you don't know your own religion" or "you are brainwashed and don't know". Why can't they just admit they are wrong in knowing about other religions? i don't think I have ever seen a Christian admit they are wrong even when presented with overwhelming evidence when it comes to their knowledge of other religions.

(I posted this exact thing to r/ ask democrats but I wanted to post it here too.)

Think about it from the average voter's viewpoint, the biggest issues are healthcare and affordability. Basically the establishment democrats and republicans have functionally the same position on these issues. As the average voter I am also tired of hearing about Israel and hold an unfavorable view or it and the wars in the middle east, establishment democrats and republicans also have the same viewpoint when it comes to Israel. The only candidate that might actually change something for me are the so called "socialist" candidates, they push for free healthcare, affordability, and not sending money to Israel.

So if that candidate loses a primary and we get to the general and it's in between an establishment democrat or a republican the outcome I care about is basically the same. What motivation do I have to go out and vote if the outcome is going to be the same? Yeah sure there might be flavor differences, but the stuff that affects me directly doesn't change, so how can I get excited about that? The only thing the establishment democrats run on is that they aren't Trump, but when it comes to my day to day life, they functionally are.

Let's face it, establishment democrats have become too far right for a majority of Americans, and people would rather just sit out the election.

Currently the adult height slider is 150cm to 197cm. While I understand Americans and Europeans (where I assume a majority of the playerbase is located) are taller people, I live in Japan and multiple women here are under 150cm. The average height for adult women here is 158.6cm and there are multiple women under 150cm (somewhere around 15% of adult women are shorter than that here), meanwhile only 0.0001% of women worldwide are above the max height of 197cm. Countries like Guatemala and the Philippines even have their average adult heights for women under 150cm.

I feel like the minimum height slider for adults should at least be lowered by 10cm to 140.

Edit: when I say "short people are underrepresented" I mean what the height sliders in the game are compared to WHO statistical data.

Edit2: I regret using the word "extremely" in my title. I admit it's not "extremely" under represented, but the option to make shorter people should still be an option.

Is it possible that Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia don't even exist? And that Ingsoc doesn't have any influence or control past the British Isles but they just say they control half the world? What evidence is there for or against this theory?

I want to know what strengths are best to show to and ESFJ that they would appreciate, and what bad habits INFJs do that ESFJs don't like so I can avoid those.

I also posted this on the ESFJ subreddit but they only have 1,500 members.

At my old apartment they used to send me a thing in the mail that I could use to pay my rent at the conbini. I get a bill in the mail and I thought I could go to the conbini with it. They guy turns me away. Its an EPOS bill, my bank makes it super difficult to do the automatic payment. So I download the EPOS app and it can't help me. It has me download the PAYSLE app now. It can't navigate that because I can't read all the kanji yet and it won't let me screenshot it and put it into google translate. It has some kind of security measure on it that prevents me from using my camera. Why don't they want my money? Why do they have to make paying a bill so hard when it's been easy in the past!? I was able to pay my entire pension at the conbini, why can't I pay my rent there now? This system is so damn frustrating, just let me pay my damn bill!

Edit: Thanks for helpful advice, I am going to end up contacting the landlord directly tomorrow.

I've been to 3 different KFCs now and they all play religious "Jesus" music. I thought KFC was secular. Also Japan is around 1% christian so why are they pushing this music so hard (it's always playing when I have been at any KFC here).

I use brave on mobile and when I browse reddit on mobile I don't log in or use their app. Today there is a new popup that freezes the entire page unless I download the reddit app. Is there a way to get Brave to block this? And if not, why?
