I didn’t wear a trenchcoat. If I told you what I did instead, I’d probably doxx myself. It was cringe.

Not OP, but also an annoying adolescent atheist. After actually giving it some thought, I realized I was contextualizing the concept all wrong. Just because most people seem to contextualize God as a Santa Claus figure (bearded man who lives above us and judges our conduct, with fitting consequences) didn’t mean I had to accept that context.

There have been many very intelligent people across history who had many interesting things to say about deity. Few of them were using the Santa Claus model.

And you decided lesser evil wasn’t lesser enough? Now we get greater evil.

I’ve long ascribed to the theory that, if time travel is ever invented, no one kills Hitler because WWII was inevitable and Hitler actually bungled a lot of key decisions. I’m praying Trump is the same. Maybe this is the most painless purging of nationalist sentiment across the timelines.

And we’ll get to see what the alternative provides. Yay, you won.

Um, might wanna try another edit there friend

I’d guess the first person to speak

See if you qualify for any down payment assistance programs. Combined with an FHA loan, you could possibly get into a house with under $5k.

I just got the 9 Fold and I really like it so far. The fold screen has a weirdly square aspect ratio, but it’s excellent for reading.

Lava vs magma

I block a lot of instances because they’re specific to interests I don’t care about. I’ve blocked 2 particularly obstinate users.

This is lemmy, you want this one

I’ve only heard it as a “hardcore” term

I watch a lot of YouTube videos and hate ads. It’s a pretty good value.

I do also have Spotify, because I had it way before YouTube Premium and all my playlists are there. For how much I listen and discover, also a pretty good value.
