This diagram looks so familiar, and yet so… interesting

It’s in my to do list to buy

but on people who make poor decisions.

What types of poor decisions? Decisions in faith? Family? Finance? Fitness? From the top level comment of the comment thread I read it as finance as that’s the thing related to food in the original post. I read this story as our stewardship of things God gives us. (Everything from the work of our hands to our minds to our relationships to wealth) He who is given much should use them and not keep them hidden away for later

little talent

Talent refers to money in the literal sense (Or more accurately a weight for metals which could be traded as money) It is a large amount of money.

The parable of the wedding feast is about people neglecting their faith and still expecting to be a part of the Kingdom of God. It’s not about how much money they have, but instead if they actually practice their faith. If you know the scriptures, but say you’ll be righteous later, then you’re that person who isn’t clothed for the feast. We are called to keep our faith and grow faith in others with the gifts that God gives us.

Supply Side Jesus on the other hand tells us that it’s not worth investing our time and resources into people who are poor, and that instead the rich will lead us to have an efficient church. That is fundamentally backwards to Christianity, as it is the poor, the hurt and the suffering who need it the most. There’s a reason why some churches put the Beatitudes in their liturgy. But at the same time, this is how our welfare system is run. To get the freeloaders off

I did, and though we can expect those with a talent to be profitable, what about those with a tenth of one?

Let’s put that parable in modern terms. One day a hedge fund manager decided to leave the country for a while to his other home overseas. He went and told His workers to go and be profitable with the money. And so he gave one a million dollars , another 100, 000, and another $50,000.

The one with a million dollars, invested his money and time into making a new business. He managed to turn that $1 million into $2.3 million. The one with 100,000 managed to make $170,000 with shrewd investing. But the man with $50,000 sat on it and didn’t do anything. He put it in a savings account and left it there.

The hedge fund manager came back, and saw how successful the other managers were. And he asked the one with 10k "Why didn’t you do anything with what I gave you?

The one with the 50 k said “I didn’t want to lose any of the money.”

The manager rebuked him though because he could have at least taken 1 year bonds and beat interest.

It’s a parable about using what God gave you. God gives us gifts to bring in profits. Not in money, as that’s not what God really needs, but in faith.

What does Jesus say about people with money? Two things stick out to me. The first one are the Rich donors to the the synagogue, and the poor woman who gives a quarter of her wealth to it. Jesus remarks that the woman gave more than those Rich donors ever will. The other is about a rich man who seeks to enter the kingdom of God and ask Jesus how to do this. Jesus tells him that he must give all his money to the poor. The man was disappointed because he had a lot of wealth.

What boggles my mind as a Christian is that we idolize Rich people and shame poor people. When in fact The most pious people I know, are poor

Prosperity Gospel is a scourge and a poor excuse to claim that God is on the side of the rich.

That’s the thing that breaks my immersion. I know that 200 years would make the area completely taken over by nature. It would look more like Horizon rather than Fallout. Not sure I’d dig trenches or anything, but radiation would be much more minimal. Nukes would also have a limited area, so the cities would die, but farmers, small towns, and everyone else out in the boonies would survive and rebuild. Hiroshima is a thriving city nowadays, with the building that survived still there

Helltaker is a little puzzle game that is free and short and sweet

I've got three. The first two aren't traditional card games, but the third is absolutely a card game.

Rounds is a little 2d multiplayer game with a couple of circles that get cards to unlock new abilities every time they loose until one player wins the whole set.

There's Friends vs Friends which is similar, except you use the cards for that round only. Oh and it's furry and 3d. It's a lot faster.

Third, there's tabletop simulator. I recommend everyone gets this game as you can play any card games or board games that are on the steam shop, which is all of them.
