Reply to comment by GoldenRamoth in ‘Sick of it’: Catholic women vent frustration over sex, power and abuse by _Brandobaris_

But wouldn't it basically be impossible to merge theism with accountability?

There's no definitive proof that anyone has spoken to, heard or even seen any devine entity, so the entire system is basically built on hearsay.

And because of that, it's impossible to police, since everyone's argument about how it should be run has the same amount of evidence (zero).

Agreed, law enforcement in the US likes to light up patrol cars like a goddamn Christmas tree [1]"for officer safety", but really they just create a massive distraction that increases the risk of collision or unnecessary slowdown.

[1] Even that's understating it, their lights are brighter than most xmas trees I've seen, even the lavish public ones.

Reply to comment by GyakuBoop in Pokemon Go player baffled as Timed Research demands they go to Mexico by oofdonkey

Hard to really call Pokemon Go an "MMO" it's a lite version for sure but I agree that a fully fledged Pokemon MMO is an untapped market.

The older Pokemon games had some great mechanics where at least duo'ing could easily be a thing for PvE content and obviously the whole PvP aspect would simply be what we have today (except wandering the world).

I think what? TemTem is the only real one in this space? I haven't played it so I don't know how good it is but perhaps Nintendo might one day partner-up to offer a spin-off if their engine is decent enough.
