Calamity epoch, you say?
anyone else have the sense that no one is particularly trying to be smart or broadly convincing online anymore retrospectively it feels like there was a shift from a high classical spirit in the blog era to romantic tweeting during the calamity epoch and now it's just--inert?
When Godโs creation sings, are shrimp not part of the choir?
It really is funny how much people look back on the lives of the wealthy (or noble or royal) in the past and sigh in wonder at why most normies don't live like this today
What happened to this America? Where did it go?
This is dumb Yes, being cheap is bad. But don't habitually dump money carelessly for minimal gain, especially for one-off pleasures. I'd say almost never do stuff like Doordash at all. But do invest in your tools, furniture, house, spend what you can on quality food, etc.
Being cheap is terrible for your mental health. Don't be afraid to spend money. Spend that $100 on doordash. Buy that $2,000 laptop. Buy that nice $400 desk. Trying to save every penny will result in u making significantly less money overall. Money FLOWS.
I have a higher likelihood of being healed by God of cancer through the effective prayer of the righteous widow in my church than all the money grubbing faith healers on TV.
You just find AI posts everywhere on this site now. The artless deployment of the em-dash, the โThis isn't X. It's Y,โ etc.
The UKโs higher rape stats reflect better reporting and broader legal definitions โ not more crime. Countries with low numbers often have worse systems, more stigma, and mass underreporting. This isnโt a league table. Itโs a mirror of who listens to victims.
For some reason I had it in my head that Bill Watterson has been dead for ages
virtually unknown comics resurfacing: bill watterson (calvin and hobbes) drew this in 2015:
Interesting how little this has to do with the RPW
Yeah Iโm not cool with any of this. Reformed worship should not: have laity leading (especially not women), sound/look like a concert, or be singing songs made by those with awful theology like Passion/Hillsong/Elevation etc. This is indiscernible from big eva non-denom worship
Etymology never fails to fascinate
#Important
This would never happen because sooner or later one person or party would break the conspiracy in a bid for their own personal fame and riches
the cure for cancer has already been found but withheld by the government and big pharma to garner profit
The opening line of the stupid rant does remind me of something not stupid, namely a bit in Tolkien's letters. โMen are not [instinctively monogamous]โฆ No good pretending. Men just ainโt, not by their animal nature. Monogamy (although it has long been fundamental to ourโฆ
Monogamy is not natural for men. Statistically only 20-30% of men have ever reproduced, while 80-90% of women have reproduced. Women were always sharing kings and discarding the surfs. This is the same today, all capable men have multiple women. Betas settle with oneโฆ
Mild pain: Ouch! That hurts! Mild nausea: I have committed villainies upon the earth. What I am is an offense to reason and to reason's God. Only now does my punishment find me; yae, now, at the end, is my body made corrupt like the corrupted soul within.
โCrocodiles,โ how cute
One of the few instances in the Bible of God the Father speaking at length involves Him explaining that He created crocodiles to eat the wicked and the proud
โI can make mid-service drama skits fit into the RPWโ
A seminary education is a dangerous thing. You can use it to defend the faith. And you can use it to creatively justify nonsense. "With just a bit of artful work, I bet I can make mid-service drama skits fit into the RPW! Watch me! Watch me go!"
Some dudes on this site will just label anything they're not personally interested in as gay, and it gets 10 gazillion likes from everyone else who's not personally interested in it
Reminder that there's no such thing as a regulative principle of government
It seems to me that those who wish to predicate feelings of God โliterallyโ often are more interested in simply affirming the literal mode than in giving it any specific intellectual content. What โGod is angryโ might mean oft seems to take a backseat to denying it's a metaphor.
