Refocus on practical applications with CGPT
In my opinion, the more significant aspect of ChatGPT isn’t as much the information it produces, but that it generally seems to understand what you ask it. I believe that in reality this is a next level method of interacting with technology.
Sure there’s a ways to go in making it faster, efficient and accurate. But I feel like we’re a little stuck on the “AI” aspect of it. Shooting for AGI when we may already have what we need. Example, say you had an LLM in a system that had access to a catalog of static, solid and not generated on the fly scripts. Say for IT it took care of low level admin work. Maybe in accounting they have a catalog of analysis scripts. Then you can take a novice with zero training say to it: “Set me up a new account for Jane Doe”. Or “What was our spending last month on shipping?”
Sure, these tasks might be easy for people who know how, but the point is, this could now be accessible for people who DON’T know how. Zero training required. I think that’s where we should shift discussion. And yeah, there’s probably a lot of bad and a lot of good that can be said about this.
Case in point, I feel like over time for all kinds of reasons we keep missing the real potential of technology. VR has a lot of cool features right, but for example why did it never transform say higher ed? With relatively little development of current tech, that could have opened up classroom availability globally. Not that VR isn’t neat now, but it’s still gimmicky.
Focus on AI robotics is super neat, but is it always quite necessary? I mean, there are a lot of brains out there that’d remote control a robot with a good setup for employment. We could take remote work to a new level. Plus further development in remote controlled robotics would open up even more safety use cases, where the operator is close by. Heck, you could still have people on site controlling systems in a factory, eliminating factory floor dangers and liabilities entirely.
Ukraine is showing the world how effective small drones are in combat, and somehow this wasn’t obvious a decade ago??? If you put a hundred video gamers behind those robot dogs with a gun strapped on top, not only would they be mad effective, but it would be terrifying. Could you imagine that coming at you? Your opponent would be crapping their pants and surrendering.
Again, I’m not saying this is morally right, nor am I suggesting it’s easy, but watching technology fail to really find potential is a little maddening. After replying to some posts over the past day I guess I started to worry that things like ChatGPT won’t break out into practicality like it should.
P.S. for fun I did run this through ChatGPT, but it felt too…oh how to put it…editorial rather than a discussion maybe. Felt like I should end it with “thanks for coming to my Ted talk”

John 14:16-17, 26: And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you to the age— the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him nor know. But you know Him, for He abides with you and He will be in you.... But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and will bring to your remembrance all things that I have said to you.
John 15:26: When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from the Father, He will bear witness concerning Me.
John 16:7, 13-14: But I tell you the truth, it is profitable for you that I should go away; for unless I go away the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you... But when He the, Spirit of truth, shall come, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He may hear, He will speak. And He will declare to you the things coming. He will glorify Me, for He will take from that which is Mine and will disclose it to you.
Translating "Paraklétos"
The translation above (BLB) uses the term "helper," other translations will variously use: advocate, comforter, intercessor, counselor, etc. These are all translating the Greek word παράκλητος (paraklétos). The word itself is variously translated, not because it is difficult to understand, but because we don't have one solid English word that encompasses everything the Greek word means. This word describes someone who is para, or "close" by another and is in defense of them. This can be in defense in regards to comforting or helping with a problem, but this word is also used in legal defense, someone who advocates on another's behalf as an intercessor before a court or an audience. This is why all of these translations are used. Each does represent a different aspect of what this word means. In context, Jesus is comforting his apostles in these chapters. John 13-17 (and part of chapter 18) are all of Jesus' last night before his trials begin. John 13-16 is the "upper room discourse" where Jesus has his final words with his apostles. Chapters 14-16 are mostly repeating the same few points over and over. Namely, that Jesus will show us the way to the Father through the Spirit which will comfort them after he dies. He will soon die, and they will be comforted by the Spirit of truth. John 17 is called Jesus' "high priestly prayer," this entire chapter is Jesus' prayer to the Father. Chapter 18 is when Jesus is captured and taken to be tried. These statements about the Holy Spirit, Spirit of truth, or paraklétos, are found in the above listed verses in chapters 14-16. Jesus is comforting his apostles by telling them things before he goes to his death. He goes on to explain that he will ask for another comforter to come and comfort the apostles after he is gone. For this reason, the context seems to me to be best translated as "comforter," or "helper," because this Spirit is coming to comfort and help the apostles through the period of time after losing Christ, and as they go one their great commission. For the course of this article, we will generally leave the word untranslated for this reason.
Who is the paraklétos? The Holy Spirit
The paraklétos is the Holy Spirit. "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another paraklétos, that He may be with you to the age—the Spirit of truth... But the paraklétos, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name..." (John 14:16-17, 26). The Holy Spirit is the paraklétos that the Father will send in the name of Jesus. The paraklétos, Holy Spirit, and Spirit of truth are all equivalent terms referring to the same thing. The paraklétos is the Holy Spirit.
The 3 Trinitarian Arguments
In these passages, many Trinitarians will use them to argue three points.
-1 That the Holy Spirit is a person, due to the fact that "he" is used and not "it."
-2 The Holy Spirit is someone other than the Father or Jesus because the Father sends him, Jesus sends him, and the Spirit is "another" being sent. It follows that if the Holy Spirit is a person, and another, then you have a third person of the Trinity here.
-3 The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father due to what is said in John 15:26, the Spirit ἐκπορεύεται (ekporeuetai), or, "goes forth, proceeds from" the Father. In the doctrine of the Trinity, the procession of the persons (how the Son and Spirit come from the Father) advocates that the nature by which the Father generates the Son is through begetting, while the Spirit proceeds, or spirates. Depending on the stance on the filioque, the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, or the Father through the Son.
Argument 1, "He"
Looking at argument 1, we find that the Trinitarians do have a particular point here. In Greek, you have grammatical gender. A particular word will have grammatical gender associated with it. Common examples are "logos," or "word," which is grammatically masculine, and "sophia," or "wisdom," which is grammatically feminine. The Greek word for Spirit Πνεῦμα (pneuma), is grammatically neuter. When using a pronoun associated with the subject, the pronouns' grammatical gender must match the subject. So, if we use a pronoun associated with a grammatically feminine word, the corresponding referring pronoun must also be in the feminine gender. Our subject here is "Spirit." Which is grammatically neuter. Therefore, the associated pronoun should be grammatically neuter. However, something different occurs in these passages that we would not expect to see. While referring to a grammatically gendered word, the gender changes to a masculine when the referential word is used.
"But when He (ἐκεῖνος, ekeinos, masculine), the Spirit (Πνεῦμα, Pneuma, neuter) of truth, shall come, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak from Himself (ἑαυτοῦ, heautou, masculine), but whatever He may hear, He will speak. And He will declare to you the things coming. He (ἐκεῖνος, ekeinos, masculine), will glorify Me, for He will take from that which is Mine and will disclose it to you." (John 16:13-14)
As we can see, while the referential pronouns are referring to a grammatically neuter word, we have them in the masculine. Compare this to Matthew 15:22:
"And behold, a Canaanite woman from the same (ἐκείνων, ekeinōn, neuter) region (ὁρίων, horiōn, neuter) having approached, was crying out saying, 'Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.'"
The subject here, being "region," which is grammatically neuter, is paired with the same pronoun used in John 16:13-14 above, but it is also in the neuter gender.
Grammarians say that John is "breaking the rules of Greek grammar" by doing this, and this is for the purpose of referring to a person. The reason why John would change the grammatical gender from a neuter to a masculine is for the purpose of showing that the subject is specifically masculine.
Some Unitarians' Response
Many Unitarians argue that the Holy Spirit is not someone, but, something. It is "God's power," or "an active force." It is a rather impersonal object that's used by God, not a person. If the above argument from the grammar is correct, then this would disprove the Unitarian claim. It is my understanding and opinion that the objection above is correct, and this does disprove the Spirit in this case to be something rather than a person. The Spirit is not "it," but properly, "he." My argument is not against the case made for the grammar, but my argument is against the Unitarians, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, that claim that the Spirit is nothing more than an impersonal force. Under the study notes in the NWT (New World Translation, the translation made by the Jehovah's Witnesses), they say the following:
Study notes on John 14:16:

When Jesus spoke of the holy spirit, an impersonal force, as a helper and referred to this helper as ‘teaching,’ ‘bearing witness,’ ‘giving evidence,’ ‘guiding,’ ‘speaking,’ ‘hearing,’ and ‘receiving’ (Joh 14:26; 15:26; 16:7-15), he used a figure of speech called personification, that is, referring to something impersonal or inanimate as if it were alive. In the Scriptures, it is not unusual for something that is not actually a person to be personified. Some examples are wisdom, death, sin, and undeserved kindness. (Mt 11:19; Lu 7:35; Ro 5:14, 17, 21; 6:12; 7:8-11) It is obvious that not one of these things is an actual person. God’s spirit is often mentioned together with other impersonal forces or things, further supporting the fact that it is not a person. (Mt 3:11; Ac 6:3, 5; 13:52; 2Co 6:4-8; Eph 5:18) Some argue that the use of Greek masculine pronouns when referring to this “helper” shows that holy spirit is a person. (Joh 14:26) However, Greek grammar requires masculine pronouns when the activity of “the helper” is described since the word for “helper” is in the masculine gender. (Joh 16:7, 8, 13, 14) On the other hand, when the neuter Greek word for “spirit” (pneuʹma) is used, neuter pronouns are used.​

Study notes on John 14:17:

spirit: Or “active force.” The Greek term pneuʹma is in the neuter gender and therefore, neuter pronouns are used when referring to it. The Greek word has a number of meanings. All of them refer to that which is invisible to human sight and gives evidence of force in motion. (See Glossary.) In this context, “spirit” refers to God’s holy spirit, which is here called the spirit of the truth, an expression that also occurs at Joh 15:26 and 16:13, where Jesus explains that “the helper” (Joh 16:7), that is, “the spirit of the truth,” will “guide” Jesus’ disciples “into all the truth.”

Study notes on John 15:26:

That one: The Greek demonstrative pronoun e·keiʹnos is in the masculine gender and refers to the helper, which is also in the masculine gender.​

Study notes on John 16:13:

that one: Both “that one” and “he” in verses 13 and 14 refer back to “the helper” mentioned at Joh 16:7. Jesus used “the helper” (which is in the masculine gender in Greek) as a personification of the Holy Spirit, an impersonal force, which is in the neuter gender in Greek.​

link to the Study Bible of the NWT
In other words, the NWT is arguing that the reason these pronouns are in the masculine, even though they are paired with the neuter "Spirit," is because they refer back to the word "paraklétos," which is grammatically masculine. They are saying that John is not changing Greek grammar to note that the Spirit is masculine to indicate that it is a person, but that these pronouns refer to the masculine word "paraklétos."
Then they explain that the reason why God's "active force" would be called "the paraklétos," and doing things that someone would normally do, not something, such as bearing witness, testifying, hearing, etc, is because this is simply personification. They then give a list of other things in the Bible that are personified to justify the fact that the Bible does this at times.
Their end result is to uphold that the Spirit is an impersonal active force that God uses, and Jesus here reifies the Spirit and speaks of it as if it is a person doing personal things.
Objections to the Jehovah's Witnesses Response
Does their answer fly? I don't think so. First, I am not convinced that a good grammatical argument could be made that the referential pronouns are referring back to "paraklétos" and not "Spirit."
Second, while personification is a common figure of speech in the Bible, it does not justify this to be the case here, it only posits it as a possibility. The notes of their study Bible give no definitive proof of either claim thus far. How do we explain the Spirit as doing all of these things if it is merely a personification? One example they give is that of wisdom, in which it is personified in the statement, "wisdom is proved righteous by what she does." We can explain this metaphor. The results of what someone does from wisdom is the personified action. But with the Spirit, how it comforts, and how it testifies is never explained by these notes. While personification is assumed, we should have an explanation for how these personified metaphors apply in reality. In other words, if we are going to assume metaphorical language, we must have an explanation for the metaphor. Far too much is said in these passages to just assume it to be metaphorical.
Third, they argue that, "God’s spirit is often mentioned together with other impersonal forces or things, further supporting the fact that it is not a person." They argue that the Bible mentions "holy spirit and fire" or having "joy and holy spirit" this emphasizes that the Holy Spirit must not be a person. However, by this same logic, in the passage in question, the Holy Spirit would be proven to be a person. Since the Holy Spirit is mentioned as "going forth from the Father," who they admit is a person, why wouldn't this mean the Holy Spirit is a person here? What about Matthew 28:19, "the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?" The two things mentioned alongside the Spirit are persons, even by JWs standards, so why should we not use this line of reasoning to assert that the Spirit is a person? Even in the infamous verse in the NWT of Genesis 1:2, where God is mentioned as being with his Spirit, we should then infer that the Spirit is a person. As a side point, this would also disprove their theory on Proverbs 8:22 being about Jesus preexisting as God's wisdom and being created. Why not use the same "personification" argument here with wisdom? Why not argue that because wisdom is mentioned with other things that are not persons, such as the Holy spirit in their own listed example, we should conclude that God's wisdom is not a person in Proverbs 8?
The arguments here are circular, and I do not buy them to be accurate. It is to start with the assumption that the Holy Spirit is entirely impersonal and then to make ad hoc arguments to justify the assumption. When we read in these passages that the Holy Spirit is how the apostles will be comforted, shown truth, and will testify to them, this can not merely be a personification. How does the Spirit comfort and testify to us?
The Holy Spirit, More Than Power
The Holy Spirit is not just a force God uses, nor is it just God's power. Zechariah 4:6 says: "Then he said to me, 'This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of hosts.'" Some argue that this "might" and "power" refers only to human might and power. God does not say, "Not by your power, but by my power." The contrast isn't between just human power and divine power. It is between power and God's Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God's power (Luke 1:35) but is not than simply this. The Spirit is also God's word (Psalm 33:6), God's wisdom (Proverbs 8:22-31), God's presence (Psalm 51:11), the angel of his face (Isaiah 63:9-10), God's intercessor (Romans 8:26-27), the mind of God or the communication of it (1 Corinthians 2:11), and much more. To reduce God's Spirit down to just his power is to ignore the entirety of Pneumatology and the many statements about what God's Spirit is and does. How, then, should we define the Spirit to encompass all of what the Spirit does? The Spirit is the nature of God. Compare 2 Peter 1:4, "partakers of the divine nature," with Hebrews 6:4, "partakers in the Holy Spirit." The Holy Spirit communicates everything God wishes to communicate. That is to say, every communicable attribute of God can be communicated by his Spirit. It is his very self. God is Holy, and God is Spirit (John 4:24). The Spirit of God is what he is. God is power. God is love. When we receive his power, his love, when we receive his Spirit.
The Spirit communicates the person of God to us. There is what's called the "transcendence, immanance problem" in philosophy. How can God be transcendental, residing in heaven far above us, and yet omnipresent, here with us? How is he both transcendent and immanent? God is a person, and he resides in heaven. And yet he also resides in us, and we reside in him (John 14:23, 1 John 2:24). The Spirit is how he resides in us. The Spirit of God communicates the person of God to us. His own presence resides in us. This person resides in us by his Spirit.
The Lord is the Spirit
When Jesus was raised from the dead, he received this same Spirit in full (Acts 2:33, 1 Corinthians 15:45, Colossians 2:9). In the same way God resides in heaven and resides in us, so also does the Son by the same Spirit. These are not two different spirits. The Bible says that we only know one Spirit (Ephesians 4:4). Jesus was raised from the dead by God's Spirit, and he himself became clothed in that Spirit. It became his own nature. This is what a new creation is. A man of flesh who is now Spirit. When Jesus was raised from the dead, he says that he has flesh and bone, unlike a spirit (Luke 24:39). Yet, he appears in locked rooms and in a different form (Mark 16:12). He breathes the Holy Spirit onto his apostles (John 20:22). Jesus is the same body that rose up from the tomb, the same body nailed to the cross, with the same holes in his hands and side. Yet, he has the Holy Spirit within, his own breath, his own life source. "The second Adam, Life-giving Spirit" (1 Corinthians 15:45). No longer a body of flesh with life made to be a living soul, but a body with the Spirit of immortality clothing it.
Who is the Paraklétos? Jesus Christ
In the topic passages, we are talking about the paraklétos, who we have clearly identified as the Holy Spirit (which is not a very contested claim). If we read 1 John 2:1, we find: "My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you might not sin. And if anyone should sin, we have a paraklétos with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One." Jesus Christ is identified as the paraklétos "with the Father." John is talking about the risen Christ and says that he is the paraklétos. "We have (present tense verb) a paraklétos with the Father." Is Jesus, then, the Holy Spirit after resurrection? Yes. "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all having been unveiled in face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.... For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord" (2 Corinthians 3:17-18, 4:5). As plainly as it can be, the Lord is Jesus, and Jesus is the Spirit. How many spirits are there? "One Spirit" (Ephesians 4:4). Jesus Christ has been made the Holy Spirit now that he has been resurrected. So, too, will we be "who are being conformed to the same image."
The Holy Spirit "Was" Another
The Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of the Lord, the Holy Spirit, all of these terms refer to one and the same Spirit after Jesus' resurrection. A common objection raised is that the Holy Spirit is something that comes down upon Jesus at his baptism. "I saw the Spirit descend and remain upon him" (John 1:32), and other objections which show a distinction between Jesus and the Spirit. This is not to the point. We, now, receive the Spirit as a down-payment (2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Ephesians 1:14). You put a deposit on something that you do not yet own but have some partial claim to. The Spirit is granted to us as a partial reward for what is to come at resurrection and glorification. The Spirit that we have now is not ours. This is the same for Jesus in his ministry. God gave Jesus the Spirit as a deposit for what he would receive in full at resurrection. The Holy Spirit becomes the Spirit of Christ only after resurrection. To argue that the Spirit is someone or something else during Christ's ministry does not change the facts presented here. Jesus becomes the Spirit. That is the resurrection body Paul speaks of at length in 1 Corinthians 15 (verse 12 ff). A body of glory by the Spirit of the Lord of glory. This is why we are the body of Christ. Because Christ has been raised in a body of Holy Spirit, and when we partake in that Spirit now, which is his body, we become his body. This is truly what Jesus means when we ask us to eat his body, his flesh, and drink the blood of his life. What has the body of Jesus become? Life-giving Spirit.
The Holy Spirit, a Person? Who?
John 14:23 says: "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and we will come to him and will make a home with him." This is just before and after he has introduced the paraklétos to us. When we receive the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of the Father and will be the Spirit of the Son, then both the Father and Son are in us through that Spirit in us. One Spirit in us, the presence of both of these persons. 1 John 2:27 says: "And you, the anointing that you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But just as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, you shall abide in Him." What is the anointing we receive? Is it not the anointing of the Holy Spirit? When we are anointed and receive the Spirit, then we abide in Him, and he abides in us.
When people argue about the Holy Spirit being a person in John 14-16, the argument does not prove the Trinity to be true. The question is, "Who is the person of the Holy Spirit?" There is no reason to assume that the Holy Spirit is another person, not the Father or the Son. When "he" abides in us, the Spirit of truth, in these verses, is the resurrected son. He, the risen Lord, will be in us, with us, and testifying to us, comforting us. This is not personification of something. The personal presence of Christ is in us. He is immanent. He is with us, as our paraklétos from the Father.
Argument 2, "Another" Paraklétos
"And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper." Jesus says that the Father will send another. How, then, can I say that this is Jesus? Because the resurrected Jesus is another helper, a different helper than the Jesus in his ministry. This is what they did not and could not yet understand. Paul refers to this resurrected Jesus in the same way. Romans 7:4, "Likewise, my brothers, you also have been put to death to the Law through the body of Christ, for you to belong to another, to the One having been raised out from the dead, so that we should bear fruit to God." We died in Christ, to belong to another in his resurrection. In this context, Paul is talking about the union of Israel to the old law, and he likens this covenant to a marriage covenant. At the death of one party, the covenant is broken. "'Til death do we part." After death, the covenant is broken. There is no law holding the marriage together. Likewise, Israel died to the law when they died together with Jesus in their baptism into his death. Water baptism. We die to ourselves, we die to the flesh, which the law governs over, and we are raised in the Spirit. Spirit baptism. We receive the Spirit of another. The risen Jesus. Have you ever wondered why Acts 13:30-33 says that God had to beget Jesus when he was raised from the dead? Have you ever wondered why Colossians 1:18 and Revelation 1:5 call Jesus the firstborn from among the dead?
Paul also says this in 2 Corinthians 5:16-17: "Therefore from now, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have regarded Christ according to flesh, yet now we regard Him thus no longer. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, the new has come into being." The Jesus that went to the cross to die was the first comforter. The comforter in the flesh. But this flesh was nailed to cross, and what rose from the grave was another comforter. A new creation. This is why we are also a new creation when we are "in Christ," by dying with him in baptism and raising with him in the same Spirit that raised him from the dead.
"I will send another paraklétos. We have a paraklétos with the Father, Jesus Christ." Another. The resurrected Jesus. A new man, a new body, begotten of God again, life-giving Spirit. Jesus is saying that he will send the Spirit of Christ to us. And when we receive this Spirit of Jesus and the Father, they are abiding in us, at home in us, and we abide in the them in that same Spirit. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also. And you know the way to the place I am going." Where did Jesus go? Was he not ascended to heaven? He isn't talking about going to heaven when you die. He's talking about where you will reside when you receive his Spirit. "Seated with Christ in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 2:6). This is now for those of us who have been filled with the Spirit, and heaven has been opened to us (see Acts 7:55-56). Notice that Paul uses the aorist tense, which is a past tense verb in this verse. God has already, past tense, seated us with Christ in the heavenly places. Paul goes on in verses 8-10 to explain that his audience has already received forgiveness and grace, and they have already been created in Christ for good works. That is to say, they have already received this Spirit. they are seated with Christ already in heaven. Not when they die, not after resurrection, but now. "I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you" (John 14:18). He says this just after he speaks of the paraklétos coming to comfort us. Jesus isn't talking about coming back at his return. This isn't comforting to them. He still has not returned. He's talking about coming back in the Spirit.
John 14:16-17, 26 Explained
John 14:16: "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you to the age—."
Jesus will ask the Father on our behalf as mediator (1 Timothy 2:5), and he will give us another helper. Not the helper they had in the flesh, a new helper in the Spirit. The risen Christ. And this Spirit of Christ will be in us until the end of the age. The Church age. That is until his return.
John 14:17: "the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him nor know. But you know Him, for He abides with you, and He will be in you."
The Spirit of truth, the Holy Spirit, which guides us into all truth. The world does not receive the Spirit of Christ. They have the Spirit of the world. They do not know or see the Spirit we have received. They do not understand or faith. But the apostles know him, the Spirit of truth, because they see the Spirit in Jesus while he is alive. They will have that same Spiritual deposit when they receive him.
John 14:26: "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and will bring to your remembrance all things that I have said to you."
The Father will send in the name or authority of Christ. God will have given Jesus all authority (Matthew 28:18). We receive the Spirit in the name of Jesus. He is our way to the Father. The Spirit will teach us all truth, so that we have no need anyone should teach us (1 John 2:27).
John 15:26 Explained
John 15:26: "When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from the Father, He will bear witness concerning Me."
The Spirit goes out from the Father. It is essentially part of him, which goes forth. But this part of him is given to Jesus, who participates in the shared Spirit. This is what makes us a family. We will all share in what the Father is. The Spirit of God is sent from the Father through Jesus, and that Spirit will bear witness concerning Christ. This means that when we receive that Spirit, we show and display the mind and nature of Christ, and Christ is formed among us. "We will be like him." This is not about a distinct person proceeding forth from the Father's essence as a new and separate center of self-consciousness. The consciousness and personhood of the Spirit are the same consciousness, the same person as he who sends it. If the Father sends his Spirit, the Father is in us. If the Spirit proceeds from Jesus, then Jesus is in us. Since the Spirit becomes a shared Spirit that both are sending, then both are in us by this Spirit. This is why Jesus says that he will send the Spirit from the Father. His Spirit is that which he received from the Father (Acts 2:33), and they both are present in the same Spirit. This is why the Holy Spirit is sometimes very vague in the NT as to which person sends the Spirit. Because it is very much a blended act. Romans 8:9: "You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him." The Spirit, the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of Christ are all interchangeably terms here. All are the same thing.
John 16:7, 13-14 Explained
John 16:7: "But I tell you the truth, it is profitable for you that I should go away; for unless I go away the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you."
If Jesus does not die on the cross, the Spirit can not be poured out to us. Why? Because we can't be a clean and holy temple for the presence of God to reside in if we do not become sinless by dying to our flesh in Christ. If Jesus goes to the Father, he will send the Spirit to us. Because Jesus does not receive the Spirit in a way that he can pour it out upon us unless the Father elevates and raises him. Jesus must be changed (1 Corinthians 15:51).
John 16:13-14: "But when He the, Spirit of truth, shall come, He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He may hear, He will speak. And He will declare to you the things coming. He will glorify Me, for He will take from that which is Mine and will disclose it to you."
The Spirit guides us, individually, into all truth because each of us individually receives this Spirit personally when we are anointed. "He will not speak from himself, but whatever he may hear, he will speak." The Spirit does not possess a separate consciousness from the Father or Son. The Spirit says nothing from himself, the one speaking in the Spirit is the one who sends the Spirit. What Jesus communicates through his Spirit, this is what we hear. But this paraklétos is the risen Christ. He, the resurrected Jesus, does not speak from himself. He speaks what the Father has told him. "A man who told you the truth I heard from God." Hebrews 1:2 says that in these last days (a reference to the resurrected Christ), God has now spoken to us in a Son. The Son does not speak from himself. He speaks only what he has heard from the Father.
Applicable and Explanatory Context
Other scriptures from this discourse from Jesus illustrate his points.
John 14:2-4: "In My Father’s house there are many mansions. And if not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also. And you know the way to the place I am going."
In my Father's house are many mansions. Places of residence in the Father. Receiving the Spirit of Christ is not just about the Father and Jesus being in us, but about us also being in them. Being in them where they are. Seated at God's right hand in heaven. "Seated in the heavenly places."
John 14:11-12: "Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, the one believing in Me, the works that I do, also he will do. And he will do greater of these because I am going to the Father. "
We should believe that the Father is in Jesus by his Spirit because of the works that the Father does through Jesus (Acts 2:22). The one believing in Jesus will do "the greater of these works" (not "greater than these). The verse literally says, "the [one] believing in me, the works that I do he also will do and greater of these will he do because I go to the Father." He's talking about us doing the works he did and the greatest of those works. The greatest work Jesus did was love his neighbour and share the gospel. These are the works we are to do "because I am going to the Father." We do the works of God too because we are to receive the Spirit of God just as Jesus did. This is how Jesus demonstrated perfect love. This is how Jesus was guided into the truth of the gospel. Because he received the Spirit of God, and so also will we.
John 14:20: "In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you."
In what day? The day we receive the Spirit of life. We will know Jesus is in the Father because we will experience what that is like. For those of us who have received this Spirit, we know that we are in God, God is in us, and we are in Christ, and he is in us. "In that day," the day you receive the Spirit. We will understand how the Father in him did the works because they will be in us doing their work as well.
John 14:21: "The one having My commandments and keeping them, he is the one loving Me. Now the one loving Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love him, and will show Myself to him."
"I will show myself to him." How? As the paraklétos. Heaven is opened. "I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I do not know, or out of the body, I do not know; God knows—such a man, having been caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know; God knows— that he was caught up into Paradise, and he heard inexpressible words, not being permitted to man to speak." (2 Corinthians 12:2-4)
John 14:23-24: "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and we will come to him and will make a home with him. The one not loving Me does not keep My words. And the word that you hear is not Mine, but that of the Father having sent Me."
"We will make our home with him." Think back to, "in my Father's house are many abodes." We receive them in us when we receive their Spirit. The words we hear are that which he received from the Father. "He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He may hear, He will speak." Jesus will teach us the truth from God as the word of God. "In these last days, God has spoken to us in a Son."
John 14:27: "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it fear."
Jesus, here, is our comforter, leaving with peace. Jesus will give us peace once again when he returns to us in the Spirit. As another comforter.
John 14:28: "You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I."
Jesus is going away through death to ascend to the Father. He is coming back in the Spirit to us. Jesus knows his apostles will be sad at his death and his ascension in losing him. But this is how Jesus comforts them. They should rejoice because he is going to come back again to comfort them. "The Father is greater than I." His reason for mentioning this is because the way in which he can comfort and strengthen them in the Spirit he will send and receive from the Father is greater than the way he can comfort them now. They should rejoice at Jesus' leaving them. Not because they want to see him go, but because they will understand that he will come back to them in the Spirit once he does. He must ascend to the Father to receive his Spirit and inheritance to be able to pour out that blessing on us.
John 15:4: "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither you, unless you abide in Me."
They can abide in Jesus by the Spirit he will pour out upon them.
John 16:16: "A little while and you behold Me no longer; and again a little while and you will see Me."
You will see me. Not someone else named the Spirit of truth, but you will see me. Jesus. We will see him where he is in heaven when we receive him to ourselves in the Spirit.
John 16:19-22: Jesus knew that they were desiring to ask Him, and He said to them, “Do you inquire among one another concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while and you do not behold Me, and again a little while and you will see Me’? Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and will lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be grieved, but your grief will turn to joy. The woman has pain when she is giving birth, because her hour has come; but when she brings forth the child, she remembers the tribulation no longer, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world. Therefore, you also indeed have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you."
Their pain will turn to joy when they see him again. He will come back to them as their comforter. They will be grieved when Jesus dies, just as a woman who has a child is in pain during the child birth. But after the pain comes relief and reward. After losing him, they will receive him and see him again, in the Spirit. "No one will take your joy from you." Even when Jesus ascends, they will still rejoice because they have not lost him. They still have him by the Spirit.
John 16:33: "I have spoken these things to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world."
Summary
The paraklétos is Jesus, who is the Holy Spirit in resurrection. When he ascends to the Father, he receives his inheritance to pour this Spirit out upon us. "Therefore having been exalted at the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He has poured out this which you are both seeing and hearing" (Acts 2:33). This is when the Spirit is poured out on Pentecost. Jesus pours out the Spirit from God because he has received his promised reward. "We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One" (1 John 2:1). Jesus is going to be raised as another. A new creation. In doing so, he will grant us the Spirit he has received in full, yet we only now receive as a deposit of what is to come. We will receive this same Spirit in full when we are changed and raised up to glory. "When he, the Spirit of truth shall come, he will guide you into all truth." That is the Spirit of Christ. The personal presence of Jesus himself.

So I've gotten myself into a situation where I have both an AirVPN and Mullvad subscription and I thought to myself, why not get the best out of both worlds: the battle-tested privacy of Mullvad along with the features of AirVPN (port-forwarding)
Specifically I've made it so that by default I connect to the internet via Mullvad. However I can set specific applications to use AirVPN. Additionally the connection to AirVPN goes trough Mullvad meaning that AirVPN never gets to see my real IP.
This method should work for all wireguard based VPNs, but I'll use Mullvad and AirVPN here. And like the title says this is Linux specific.

1

First make sure you are connected to Mullvad. Theoretically it shouldn't matter too much what kind of connection you are using, though I haven't tested this.

2

Next download the wireguard config files from AirVPN. Open the files in a text editor and set the MTU value to (at least) 60 below the MTU value of the Mullvad connection. You can set the MTU value of Mullvad in the GUI. Then move the files to /etc/wireguard/

3

Now we create a network namespace. A network namespace is basically a network configuration that is completely independent from your main networking. Essentially it's a separate network. To connect the networks we add a virtual Ethernet cable between the two and configure the main network to act like a router.
To do that here's a script:

#!/usbin/bash if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then echo "You must be root to run this script" exit 1 fi NS="air-ns" VETH="air-out" VPEER="air-in" VETH_ADDR="10.200.1.1" VPEER_ADDR="10.200.1.2" IFACE=wg-mullvad # Remove namespace if it exists. ip netns del $NS &>/dev/null # Create namespace ip netns add $NS # Create veth link. ip link add ${VETH} type veth peer name ${VPEER} # Add peer-1 to NS. ip link set ${VPEER} netns $NS # Setup IP address of ${VETH}. ip addr add ${VETH_ADDR}/24 dev ${VETH} ip link set ${VETH} up # Setup IP ${VPEER}. ip netns exec $NS ip addr add ${VPEER_ADDR}/24 dev ${VPEER} ip netns exec $NS ip link set ${VPEER} up ip netns exec $NS ip link set lo up ip netns exec $NS ip route add default via ${VETH_ADDR} # Enable IP-forwarding. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # Flush forward rules. iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -F FORWARD # Flush nat rules. iptables -t nat -F # Enable masquerading of 10.200.1.0. iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s ${VPEER_ADDR}/24 -o ${IFACE} -j MASQUERADE iptables -A FORWARD -i ${IFACE} -o ${VETH} -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o ${IFACE} -i ${VETH} -j ACCEPT 

If you are not using Mullvad you need to change the IFACE variable. Run ip link to find the name of your interface.
Run the script as root. If it didn't produce any warnings/errors you are good.
Now you can access the network namespace. Do that by running ip netns exec air-ns bash as root. This should open a shell.
Verify that you are connected to Mullvad inside the shell. Run curl icanhazip.com. It should return the IP of your Mullvad connection.
As a sanity check, run ip route. You should see something like

default via 10.200.1.1 dev air-in 10.200.1.0/24 dev air-in proto kernel scope link src 10.200.1.2 

4

Now, it's time to start AirVPN. YOU MUST USE wg-quick not systemctl. You should be in the namespace (verify by running ip route). Now run wg-quick nameOfYourConfig.
Now try pinging 8.8.8.8. It should work. Next try pinging google.com. If it fails then most likely the DNS-server you are using is a local mullvad one. To verify this run cat /etc/resolv.conf. If it contains a local IP then this is the case.
To solve this you can either bypass AirVPN for this address (using ip rule) or you can simply go to Mullvad settings and select your favorite public DNS.
With that out of the way now if you run curl icanhazip.com it should return an AirVPN IP.

5

If you managed to do that then congrats! It doesn't get much more private then this. Assuming you've paid anonymously AirVPN has literally no idea who you are and Mullvad only knows your IP.
To launch an application inside AirVPN you can use
sudo ip netns exec air-ns sudo -u yourUsername command
You should have a working "kill switch". You can verify this by running ip rule, either inside or outside of the namespace. There should be a line like 32765: not from all fwmark XXXXX lookup YYYYY. But of course it never hurts to bind your torrent client to an interface.
Also if you want to route all traffic trough AirVPN you might get away with a single wireguard configuration file, though I've not tested this.

Thought ab posting this for a while, never did but I feel like I could use some advice and a fresh perspective… For context: Im a 16yo girl and I have chronic headaches/migraines, that got progressively worse in the last couple of years… So about a year ago I wasnt rlly in a great place mentally, I wouldnt go as far as saying I was depressed, but things didnt go that great. I was used to having random migraine attacks, so it wasnt untill the third time it happened that I googled the signs of having a panic attack, was surprised to see that I got them all: shaking, disorientation, nausea, irregular heartbeats, dizziness, and feeling like I couldnt breathe at all. In the last year ive had around seven, they dont come with any reason at all and its one of the scariest things in the world to me. The past couple of months ive been feeling a lot better, I do things that I feel make me happy and Ive started to love life and myself. But i cant seem to get rid of these panic attacks. All my friends know, some have even helped me a great deal during the panic attacks (helping me calm down and to keep breathing), but I cant seem to be able to find a way to tell my parents. For starters I want to say, theyre great parents and they love me and care about me a lot… But I still feel like they dont get me at all (pretty sure all teenagers feel that way).. My dad has a habit of linking everything to personal experiences. I have chronic headaches, but he used to get headaches sometimes as a kid and I should just walk it off because thats what workes for him. I am stressed, but he used to be stressed sometimes so I should do what he did, it worked for him so it has to work for me aswell. It sometimes feels as though something cant exist, if he hasnt seen it happen himself. Whenever I try to talk to him about something I struggle with, he blows me off saying he knows EXACTLY what im going through and I should do what he thinks is best, if I try to correct him he gets mad, end of talk. My mom is very different, yet equally difficult to talk to. Last month I tried to tell her that I have social anxiety, and that being put on the spot and interrogated by seven people at a time stresses me out and triggers my migraines. She then proceeded to tell me that she hopes her perfect beautiful daughter wont adapt the crazy idea that she has social anxiety, not believing it at all. The thing is, my oldest brother hasnt always been the easiest. So because I dont drink, go to parties and do decent in school, my mom feels im “the kid she never has to worry about” or “the one kid without any problems or anything”, im not. But thats the picture she has painted of me, and i cant seem to get through to her. Anyways, im sure half of this is on me. Im closed off when it comes to how I feel and dont like to talk about anything that makes me veel lost or vulnerable. But I do feel like telling my parents is important? I just dont know how.. If anyone has any advice, please let me know

I’m here because I lost one of my dogs and an unborn baby within 2 days of each other. My Angus and Olivia.
Angus was a young border collie/Aussie cross. He was turning into an amazing dog. Impeccable manners in the house, would alert you if anything was amiss, gentle with our 3 year old, beautiful, traveled well in the car. We had just made it through the (crazy tough) teenager years. He fixed my older dog’s separation anxiety, and they would cuddle together in the car. He loved going to work with my husband and was my husbands first dog. Together they had worked on his fear until he could be around strange humans and dogs with no issues.
We were getting so excited about little Olivia. It should have been a fun appointment, finally getting to see her move. An accidental pregnancy, but very wanted once I got over the shock. Everyone we had told was so excited for us. We were holding ourselves back from telling 3 that she would be a big sister.
I like to think of them playing together. Angus was such a good kid dog. His favorite place was beside you. Now they’re both just…gone. Our world was going to be so full, so busy. We talked about getting a bigger vehicle, moving furniture, decluttering and simplifying. I’m doing all the things they say to do after loss, but life still feels so weird. We’re deciding if we want to try having a baby again, so it doesn’t seem like a good time to get a new dog (but oh man I want one). I really just want to wake up and have my Angus laying n the corner and my Olivia kicking (I should have started feeling her this week).
I’m tired of feeling empty.

I’ve been talking to a girl now for about 8 months and at the start we got on really well and I saw us later on starting a relationship, after 2 months we both moved to different places but it wasn’t permanent and I visited her twice. The first visit everything was good and we were like ourselves on the second visit she seemed a bit off and what not but nothing to serious to think feelings were gone. After I had visited for the 2nd time and I had gone back to the town I was then living it she started to seem off with me, leaving me on delivered and if I mentioned it she would say I’m overreacting, when going out not messaging me like she used to and leaving me on delivered this was ongoing for a couple of months. She then went on a 2 week trip which she had planned before we new eachother to go see her ex boyfriend but her friends was also going so she still went. She told me she did see him but only once while out (later I found a note with a message explaining how she’d done a big thing going there and that she wanted to meet up before she went back) after her trip she came back to where I was living and stayed with me for 2 months where I found a lot of stuff that made me suspicious, when showing me something on her phone I saw that she had a dating app and when I confronted her she said her friends told her to download an app and she didn’t no what it was and when she saw what it was didn’t use it, I also asked her 3 questions 1 I knew the answer to already and the question was very simple and not anything that she would need to lie about anyways she did. I didn’t mention anything and just carried on. We had sex multiple times before the 2 months and it was okay but while having sex during the 2 months we lived with eachother she told me nobody has ever made her feel that way and that she had never ‘came’ like that before and from then onwards she’s been very wanting me and protective of me, she wants to make plans of travelling the world with me but I just feel no trust and feelings wise I’m unsure as well.
Should I continue or end things? Am I overthinking? How to explain to them how I feel?

Video Game Review 7 keys
Title: Fortnight
Publisher: Epic Games
Genre: Battle royale
ESRB Rating: T for Teen
My Rating: 4.5
Primary Audience: younger audiences
Year of Release: 2017
Platform: PC, Mac, X box 360, X box 1, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, IOS, and Android
Trailer:
Fortnight is an animated 3rd person battle royale style shooter video game. Battle royale means you enter a lobby with a set number of people and you fight to see who is the last person alive. This is a very cool concept because it is more realistic than shooter games where you keep respawning because if you die you lose all of your progress which makes your life in the game more valuable. The aspect of Fortnite that differentiates itself from other battle royale games is that in this game you have the ability to build. This means that you can collect resources and build walls and ramps to help protect yourself from enemies or to provide cover as you attack other players. In Fortnight the game starts where 100 players parachute down onto an island. Once you land the players have to find weapons and collect building materials to use to survive. The game also has a way to gather all of the players left in the game to one spot so the game does not take forever. “The storm” is the name of this in game characteristic, It is a poisonous cloud that drains health that slowly closes in on the island forcing players to move towards the end location on the map. The end location is different in every game so not to create a predictable advantage for players.
The First Media Key: Balance
The first media key of balance applies to Fortnight because of the even playing field that the game has established. This game does a great job of providing an equal possibility to all players for winning. Because all the players start out with nothing and have the ability to go wherever they want on the map all the players have a chance at winning if they have the right skills. The game is also balanced in the sense that the game is constantly evolving through changes in the map, new cool weapons that they add to the game. Every few months or so the game developers change the map or add in new features to keep the game interesting and exciting.
The Second Media Key: Attitude Awareness
The second media key of attitude awareness applies to the game Fortnight in two different ways. The first message is survival of the fittest. If you are skilled at the game, you can turn any battle around and find victory in this game. Because of this message that the game conveys through how it is set up has let to players becoming incredibly good at this game. The second way that attitude awareness can be applied in this game is through recognizing what the game is advertising. The game often incorporates heroes from popular movies and TV serries into the game. The game has had refences to Star Wars, Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Batman, John Wick, the Avengers, Dune and many others. While by having these popular characters in the game they are helping themselves they are also simultaneously helping the media they are promoting.
The Third Media Key: The Dignity of the Human Person
It is difficult to argue that the third media key the dignity of the human person is upheld in this game due to the fact that the whole purpose of the game is to kill all of the other players in the game. This game can be extremely competitive which makes winning feel awesome but losing very painful. Because of the difficulty of this game players spend a vast majority of their time on the game losing which can cause players to be filled with rage and anger. That being said I believe this game to be harmless due to the animated and very fake look of the game. The game is purposely not designed to resemble the real world closely.
The Fourth Media Key: Truth‐Filled
Truth filled the fourth media key can be applied to Fortnight in the sense that the players are able to evaluate their opponent’s skill levels through how they play the game. The main sign of an opponent’s skill is their ability or lack of ability to build. Players that are able to build quickly and fluently are often the winners of games. Another way that this game can incorporate the fourth media key is through teamwork. Players can join teams with their friends and work together in order to win the battle royale. This communication and team work can relate to real world applications and friendships.
The Fifth Media Key: Inspiring
The fifth media key inspiring applies to Fortnight in the sense that the game teaches perseverance. Fortnight is an extremely difficult game to win that requires a great deal of skill obtained through practice. It is very common for a more skilled player then you to run up on you and absolutely demolish you. The frustration caused by this inspires and motivates players to continue to train their skills with the hope of someday being that player absolutely recking other players.
The Sixth Media Key: Skillfully Developed
The sixth media key skillfully developed doe greatly apply to this game. Since its release in 2017 this game has been consistently at the top of the charts. This game has even morphed into a sort of social ranking for young boys where if you are good at the game, you are cooler. The game developers have done an incredible job of creating the world of fortnight through the awesome graphic art used and the fun weapons some biased off real weapons and others entirely made up. This game has done an excellent job of adapting and creating now game modes and changing the battlefield layout. There are even memes about how when Fortnite incorporates video games characters from other games that the Fortnight version is better then the original.
The Seventh Media Key: Motivated by and Relevant to Experience
The seventh media key applies to fortnight is the sense that players are motivated by the hard goal of achieving victory and the glory that is associated with it. When the game was first getting popular it was common for players to actually post pictures of their wins on social media because it was deemed such a hard game to beat. Players are also motivated to do better then they did in the previous game they played trying to get closer to first place.
Fortnight is an extremely challenging but fun game to play. Personally, now I am not a huge gamer and prefer to spend my time outdoors or watching TV so when I play the game my skills are quite low which makes it less fun. In the past however I was pretty average and had a lot of fun playing the game with my friends. I think this is a very well-designed game and would give it a 5 out of 5 even though it is not my favorite game because I am not very good at it. The reason I am giving this game such a high score is because I can recognize how creative and well managed this game truly is and how awesome it is for people that are actually good at it. I believe this game is appropriate for ages 10 mainly because I don’t think kids younger then 10 should be spending a ton of time on video games but that is just my personal opinion.

This is a 90 townhome community homeowners association in New York.
The board of directors has been talking about redoing the landscaping around our community pool for several years. It's maintained but we haven't been replacing plants when they die and the landscape timbers are starting to come loose/rot. It's also near the entrance of the plan so it's not our best first impression. Point is it doesn't NEED to be done but it's been on the list for a while.
I joined the board in September 2022. At our December 2022 board meeting, the landscaping was still a topic and there was a board member assigned to get quotes for the spring. At our March 2023 meeting, the landscaping was still on the agenda and there hasn't been any progress. It seemed like a good way to help so I volunteered to do the legwork and the rest of the board agreed. I talked to contractors, got the quotes, put everything together with recommendations, sent everything to the other board members in April... and crickets. When I followed up I was told everyone is busy trying to organize the summer party (that occurs in August) and my proposal would be discussed "in the future".
Now we're into June and we haven't even discussed it. I don't have money to pay the deposit until the board approves the proposal. If we miss this season, then someone needs to get quotes all over again for next year. I just need a vote, the check for the deposit, and a signed contract and then I will handle everything with the contractor.
When I talk to neighbors, they also complain about the landscaping not getting done, but they understand the board is busy and most other things are getting done so it's not a big concern.
Except after joining the board, I realized the board is not busy. Two board members are. Of the five board members, two do everything, the third travels all the time for work and doesn't contribute, the fourth is friends with the first two and doesn't want to rock the boat, and then there's me. I originally thought the first two did everything because they didn't have help, but after being on the board for a while it seems like they do everything because they don't want to share any of the work. Despite volunteering to take on other tasks, my only job aside from this landscaping is to show up to meetings and vote.
So, any tips? Our next board meeting is next week and I plan to bring up the landscaping proposal, but if they say they are still too busy then I don't know how to respond. The two that do everything legitimately ARE busy but I can't get anything done without them.

Hello Godot community!
Even if I am not an active person here, it is definitely one of the stops I stop when I use Google to get information on many subjects.
I would like to announce my game Mad Miner, which I have been developing on Godot 3.5.2 for 5 months, and add it to your wish list if you are interested :)
In short: Mad Miner is a mining game where you try to survive in a new order where world life is trapped underground.

FEBRUARY-MARCH 1983
Dusty Rhodes reclaimed the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from Flair in late 1982 and led a solid reign, but a new force reckons with him. During a title defense against Kevin Sullivan, a masked man strides to the ring, punks Sullivan, and chokes Rhodes out with a chain. Gary Hart directs him to remove the mask, revealing a gruesome, painted visage. Kabuki mists Rhodes’ face and paints an X onto the championship with his finger.
Rhodes declares that he is a fighting champion, but he detests a cheat. He believes in a fair fight with opponents who have earned their way to the ring, not a saboteur who disregards the law. Kabuki can bring it anytime.
Gary Hart translates Kabuki’s origins and intentions. He grew up in a slum ruled by an old, cruel, unfeeling warlock. An uncle couldn’t repay a debt, so the sorcerer cursed the child. Kabuki’s hands and face contorted, his chest filled with toxins, but he learned how awful it was to be powerless, and he chased that power until it brought him to the NWA. He will take the power and become the lord of this company.
Leading up to the official Rhodes challenge, Kabuki defeats El Solar, Ricky Steamboat, and Dory Funk Jr in decisive fashion. His mixture of brutal strikes and wrenching submissions breaks them down before the poison mist and a final nerve pinch grind them out.
APRIL 1983
Kabuki counters everything Dusty has. Clothesline? Drop toehold. Bionic elbow? keylock. Slam? Neckbreaker. Tiring the Dream out, Kabuki blasts him with kicks and chops until a top rope knee drop for the pin. Your new NWA Champion, the Great Kabuki.
MAY-NOVEMBER 1983
Kabuki gets elaborate entrances with flower petals, long fur coats, and Gary Hart making weird faces. They declare that only who complete the Triple Araburu Kami are worthy to challenge: survive twelve lashes of the belt, defeat Kabuki’s chosen knight, and forfeit the right to challenge for the remainder of Kabuki’s reign. Bruiser Brody and Junkyard Dog call bull, but it’s within the champion’s prerogative. One Man Gang receives the title Kimon, and he thwarts Kerry Von Erich, Jack Brisco, and Kevin Von Erich, but David Von Erich manages a win right past him. He dedicates his match to his brothers.
Kabuki and David have a grueling submission battle: Kabuki targets the spine with cranks and strikes, but Von Erich breaks down the arm. Hart at ringside taunts how easily Kerry and Kevin went down, and David attacks him. The distraction lets Kabuki mist and lock the crossface until the Tragic Texan taps.
Since Gang failed, Kabuki claws him into a heap and installs new Kimon Jake Roberts. The Snake defeats Tiger Mask I and Gerald Brisco with aplomb and is ready for more. Kabuki and Roberts challenge the team of Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen for the world tag belts during this time; Kabuki gets DQ’d when he refuses to break out of the corner mid-assault, and Brody bears that grudge.
Junkyard Dog despises this reign of terror. He’s watched several friends lose not just a title opportunity but years off their lives, and the control doesn’t sit well with him. A man shouldn’t reenact the evils done to him onto others, so he makes the challenge. First, the gatekeeper match with Roberts. They give each other hell in a hardcore match, and Roberts unloads with a chair, but Dog still stumbles to his feet, dukes up. Jake hesitates, and that’s all JYD needs to Thump and earn his championship shot.
Before Kabuki schedules the JYD defense, he declares that Roberts must be disciplined in a steel cage match. Roberts stays on the defensive at first because that’s his boss, but after one chop too many, Roberts catches the arm and throws haymakers. Now, the fight’s really on with weapons galore, and everyone’s bleeding. Eventually though, Hart grabs Roberts’ ankle through the cage, and Kabuki bulldog chokes Roberts into unconsciousness. The champion exits the cage, but babyface Snake wants his revenge.
JYD goes full “American babyface yay freedom,” and the two go full hog with a bullrope title match. Kabuki and Dog choke and smack each other heavy, and Dog manages to power out of a double nerve pinch. However, a poison mist and kicks to the face take him down. Kabuki disrespectfully covers with one foot, but Dog kicks out, so the champion has to choke him out and grab the leg to get the win.
Barry Windham succumbs to new Kimon Abdullah the Butcher, but Andre the Giant passes with ease and earns a world title shot. The two have a massive brawl: Andre starts strong with clotheslines and presses, but Kabuki targets the legs and weakens him. They brawl outside the ring, and Kabuki takes punishment on the barricade, but he ducks a kick and sleepers the Giant down to execute the inverted figure four lock. However, before Andre taps, the ref counts them out. Enraged, Andre swings Kabuki around and bearhugs him half to death. Brody laughs and joins in the fun, declaring “The champion is no longer safe.”
Mercenary Stan Hansen becomes the next Kimon, and he lariats Dynamite Kid and Mil Mascaras to death. His former tag partner Bruiser Brody though proves hardier and makes it through in a hate- and blunt force-filled slobberknocker. Gary Hart and Brody have a conference promo that descends into just screaming death threats at one another and an abdominal stretch on a sofa.
STARRCADE 1983
Kabuki tries to finish it quick with kicks to the head and mist, but Brody just gets madder and madder. After a three-minute champion showcase, Bruiser mollywhops him for ten. Hansen runs in to save his boss, but Roberts tackles him and hits a ringside DDT, then chases off Gary Hart. Kabuki gets desperate now and attempts to break Brody’s hand, but he’s facing real power: the self-assured brawler slams the champ down and pins.

Is it normal, that my NEW A770 16GB LE crash my PC instant after i try to start a Game like GTA (max 40FPS with and w/o ReBar)??.
​
I cant use Photoshop (extrem heavy Laggs), i cant use UE5, Crash and freeze the hole PC. If i start Minecraft with Shaders, after 10 to 30mins its crashing my PC.
​
Specs before Intel Arc:
​

64Gb ddr4 3200Mhz Ram
750w Gold Bequiet Straight Power Full Modular Powersupply

​
Than i selld my 3080 (it has reasons and i dont tell why
​
and bought a A770 16GB LE....
​
​
Ok, GPU drivers removed in safe mode. New Intel Drivers installed.
​
With WHQL (latest from 1.6.23) instant Crashes on Desktop Mode. Ok putted back my Backup GPU (R9 280), no problems and GTA V on Medium High
1440p Settings on Stable 50-60FPS (its a mircale i know :D).
​
Ok Tryed new fresh Install from the Drivers.. same WHQL and started GTA V yay 50 in Houses/stores and 20-36 outside with heavy Tearing (Vsync on and Off)
No changes with ReBar same Shitty FPS. Other Games doesnt Start like Dead Space Remastered, Phasmo, Arma Reforger..
​
Ok. a little peaces of Gray hairs later.. Removed the WHQL driver and installed the BETA Driver. Its more Stable but same shit. It crashes, with Games,
same shitty FPS, and after i started a Programm or a Game that uses GPU it freezes instant and Crasheds the PC...
​
I tryed from a Neihbour the RTX 3090 and nothing, everything works perfect. Putted Back Intel with fresh Drivers and its shows his Middlefinger twice..
​
Is it a Driver Prob or is this Card at this Moment not good to buy and i should stay on AMD or Nvidia?!.
​
​
I dont hate Intel for it, its a new Cardplayer and it takes time but it sucks right know, or if i say it better, its frustrating
Ah, Setup is the same like with the RTX 3080. Only GPU changed :)
