The answer depends on your religion, but in the monotheistic traditions of the major religions, the notion of God might be better aligned with “oneness” or “integration” than a personification as we think about them. In that way, God is “everything” (including the contradictions) which would also mean emotions. To say God feels things, it means “God has the capability to feel, because God is all powerful.”

Whether God is impacted by those emotions or their reasoning changes because of them, I think the realities and contradictions are a part of faith. If it all made sense, faith wouldn’t be necessary. You’ll find reasoning similar to this in someone like Kierkegaard.

I’m a UU (raised Catholic, was an atheist for 20 years, followed Buddhism for a few years). My internal conception of God has changed a lot over that time: mostly expanded and includes more grace about this “grand everything” rather than “Old man in a cloud who can be sorta weird and spiteful.” I like that the UU lets me ask questions and develop my own faith.

Exodus 20:13. I know they don’t care about their own book, but it’s terrible how far so many people have drifted from our sacred connections between humans, whatever that means to you. Killing one another cannot solve our problems.

I wonder if this is the establishment throwing an obvious problem actor under the bus in order to say, “Look we’re doing something!” It can’t be that hard to find a replacement for Gaetz who is better aligned with the party’s values (on the surface, at least) with less problems. He was an easy target, because he was gloating to congress members about these acts.

Also, he’s a miserable person who should see justice for this shit. Whether it happens in America… different story, unfortunately.

That’s above the table before all the bribes and pocket lining. 🤑 Yay, money! 🇺🇸 /satire

This shit is so backwards. People are getting blackmailed competitively by this guy in broad daylight. I know it died long ago, but it was the death of liberty when we introduced MTX/P2W politics—fuck Citizens United.

This might be true, but it’s not aligned with the posted article: it highlighted how Latino & Asian voters went to the right because they saw the democrats as ineffectual and as Trump spouting rhetoric instead of legit policy. It also noted how older immigrants saw “new immigrants” as somehow ‘worse mannered’ than them.

The GOP strategy has long been “block Dems” in order to make the federal systems look ineffectual at helping: that’s what happened, at least to these voters in this article.

As a person who grew up in American schools post-Columbine, with kids in schools now, and none of us are CEOs, this is probably the take that saddens me most about this whole event. It’s our kids, and the argument used to be about freedom. Soon, we won’t even have that. What was the fucking point? (Rhetorical: profit)

I know we’re all alive at a special time in humanity. We think we’re so civilized. Then I look around, and it’s the same history playing on repeat. When do the monkeys figure out it’s one species? (Rhetorical again: 😬)

It’s 4 years until the next scheduled bullshit, whether that’s a third term, eradicating the constitution, or bringing about the end of America / the west / humanity. We could all go up sooner, but I expect Bo Burnham’s “7 more to go,” to somehow be right (came out in 2021, so 2028 seems about right).

We lost freedoms during Bush, carried on by every president since. I guess we’ll see what happens to the machinations next…

Thanks for the updoots & the fish. Hope it was a good ride.

Yeah, I don’t mean to be pessimistic, but given all the knee bending, I don’t have much hope for the next 4 years and beyond when it comes to freedom. I don’t think most MAGA people have respect for the constitution or law & order. That respect seems to be eroded.

Thank you for answering the rhetorical question, homie. ✌️Money is the root of all evil.

Hurt people hurt people. I don’t know how to fix things. But if we go around destroying one another, what will be left?

I think the system is immoral. It should be abolished. An absurd takeaway from that would be “health insurance workers should be jailed.”

I find it challenging to say our humanity is through being inhuman to one another. Wouldn’t our humanity need to come from humane action?

I’m as upset as everyone else about these machinations. Everyone is a child of someone. If we don’t remember that, all is lost.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. She could have said DDD without “you people are next.”

Having said that, if we’re really judging people, and corporations are people, why isn’t the denial of health care seen as manslaughter? 70 people pass every day due to the lack of medical care in America. We have worse outcomes, shorter average life than other civilized countries.

When is a corporation sued for murder & sent to jail? I know it sounds crazy, but that’s the point. These systems aren’t making sense. They lack humanity. This is a bad, morally bankrupt system. Older Americans loves their Medicare: that’s socialism.

I’m so sick of this shit.

Thanks for playing! Glad it was wasted. Go study capitalism & tell me about the price of jeeps. 🤓

Google chicken wars. Stop wasting time, troll.

The tariff establishes the market floor. Trump can enact tariffs without congress. It will be setting the economy on several market vectors.

If you don’t know how it works, don’t post troll content. #NotFeedingFurther #BrandolinisLaw

“Bidens shouldn’t have let it happen”. Come on. Pew research shows immigration rose, but not to some new peak. The world is going to shit due to everything.

I don’t think facts will dissuade you. So here’s a national landmark instead:

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Statue of LIBERTY. Hopefully it’ll still be up & relevant in 4 years if we don’t destroy one another…

I honestly think it’s lead exposure…There was lead all over until 1978. Baby boomers had this shit everywhere around them, and no surprise, they have chronic issues. I feel like many baby boomers really struggle with empathy… most seem angry at a base level.

In game design, it has to be stated whether it’s multiplicative or additive. Sometimes a logarithmic function is used as well, with increases in efficiency as 1 / ( 1 + bonus ). This allows you to always add more bonus, but there’s diminishing returns.
