I see no issue here. A man can absolutely be ‘cute’ without being any less of a man. Masculinity isn’t about rugged looks, strength, dominance, or any of that shit. It’s about self confidence (not arrogance, just being comfortable being yourself) and giving to others, both of which you seem to do well.

Honestly, I’m surprised you haven’t found a partner to match you yet.

Well a lot of the Americans most impacted by this shit can’t afford to move away

Given president musk owns a car manufacturer, I’m not surprised they’re going this direction

“Awww, but they’re cute”

No, they’re feral rodents with a permanent inclination towards violence dressed up as dogs

I don’t need to know German to read Meta AI, and agree with your enshittification assessment

Ah yes, the average Michelin childhood

Mate, have you seen the shit he has retweeted saying he agrees? A bunch of replacement theory shit, heaps of antisemitic shit, and a while much of other racist shit.

that many Democrat leaders have made as well

If you watch the videos of those Democrat leaders, it’s pretty clear they’re waving to a crowd. Elon’s one was obviously a nazi salute.

wasteful government spending

Ah yes, wasteful stuff like vital medicine distribution and humanitarian aid, and really lowering the deficit by cutting taxes on big corporations, and giving contracts to his own company.

The issue isn’t whether or not their documented or felons, it’s that they didn’t have a trial so they didn’t have a chance to prove either way

I’m not sure ‘inching’ is the right word here. ‘Speedrunning’ might be more suitable

They’re fighting for the rule of law, which is how we find out who is actually a “violent illegal” (that’s ignoring the fact that most undocumented immigrants are trying to peacefully live their lives). Judges fighting for the rule of law are inherently fighting for the average person.

A lot of people today can barely learn one language. You’re suggesting that an entire religion’s followers learn Ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, all 3 in dialects that are 2000 years old at the latest. I’m pretty sure God will accept whatever language people happen to read the Bible in.

That said, you do get so much more depth out of the Bible when you look at the original language. From Eve being made from Adam’s side, not just a rib, to King James hiding that God will protect you from the tyrant. I’d love to dive into the original language more, but I’m far from a linguist.

I can’t say for sure what religion you’re talking about, so I don’t know much of the religious context for this definition of heaven and hell. My issue with this definition is emotions are so much more complex than “happy is good, sad is bad”. A lot of people who have dealt with depression (including myself) will tell you that it’s far worse to feel nothing at all. I’d much rather feel the sorrow or hate, and have help from God to work through those feelings.

I find the Christian (specifically protestant Arminian, and yes that is my religion) answer to this question much better. Basically, hell is the other option to heaven. Heaven is where God is fully present, so there must be somewhere else for those who reject God to go. That place must be fully apart from God, otherwise he would not be honoring their decision, and so he would not be all loving.

They’re the oldest type. The royal game of ur uses pyramids for base 0 d2s

If you’re coming to New Zealand, you can throw a dart at a map, go there, and you’ll probably find some amazing walking track.

But if you want recommendations, my top three are lake Waikaramoana, tongariro national park, and anything in fjordland

I’ve seen a musical called Rent. It’s about people in New York who are homeless/stuck in poverty around when HIV was at its peak. Honestly I don’t know much about it, I mostly saw it because a friend of mine was performing, but it’s definitely not a typical upper middle class perspective.

Well then it’ll take divine intervention to kill me

LOTR. Entirely depends on when and where I show up

It is more chronologically accurate to show a t-rex being hit by a car than it is to show a t-rex eating a stegosaurus

The theological answer is that God doesn’t really have a step by step plan for the life of each person. Sure, there are ways he wants to bless you, and things he wants you to do that he’s put you in a position to do, but not a step by step plan. Example: Esther was in a position to have the king’s ear when he planned to kill all the Jews. Esther 4 says that the Jews will be saved with or without Esther helping, but God had chosen her and given her what she needed to save the Jews.

Also, on free will, the most important part of free will is the ability to choose to leave God. That’s what the tree of knowledge of good and evil is about. It’s not knowledge in our modern sense, a better description would be “the right to define good and evil”. So when Adam and Eve ate that fruit, they were basically saying “I don’t want God’s idea of what good and evil is, I want to do it myself”. I know that seems not so bad to our culture, but it’s basically saying “I know better than God, who knows everything”.

It’s funny and that’s about the extent of how much it matters to us
