you are surrounded by people who are in the exact same position.

Or, due to physicality and flexibility, some new positions!

100% of exonerated space criminals are lesbians.

What do you mean?

Costco pizza is amazing. The cheese has SO MUCH CHEESE on it. I like to order that and then shake some Slap Ya Mama on it.

Their pizza isn’t bad, for a large pizza that you can walk in the door and walk out with without calling ahead, and which costs less than ten dollars American in the year of Our Lord J-Town two thousand twenty and six.

It’s actually pretty remarkable given those conditions.

Oh no! My speculative buying of shitloads of MTG cards to make money selling the good ones is failing! People might have access to the best cards without spending copious amounts of money to middlemen! It’s very dangerous to the game if people can be good at it without it being rich!

Or maybe they just actually know diversity is a good thing that helps a company make better products.

Oh absolutely.

I’m not surprised by that. Apple does plenty of evil shit, and has straight-up bribed Trump because it’s the wise business move, but they’ve been ostensibly “socially progressive” for most of the company’s history.

I mean, how many companies are maintaining their DEI programs these days?

I’m not gonna say Chick-fil-A are perfect angels, but the article is about a guy who is upset because one of the locations in Utah celebrated a gay marriage and corporate backed them up. That’s a very different Chick-fil-A than in 2012.

Did I miss something? What happened to Slotkin?

Ask and ye shall receive!

I agree, the first time I finally made it through was when I rented it on cassette tape from my local library back in high school.

I’ll have to look up the retelling!

I used the phrase “relatively recent” on purpose. It’s not a new idea, but it also isn’t ancient.

Yes! I really need to read The Silmarillion again.

To play devil’s advocate (or perhaps God’s advocate?) if you leave behind the relatively recent “God is omniscient, omnipotent, and all-loving” thing, then bad things happening would be part of even a benevolent deity’s plan. That is to say, bad things are going to happen, working to find a balance that works out well in the long run would be the goal.

“God works all things together for the good of those who love and trust in Him” is a commonly misunderstood doctrine. It isn’t that nothing will ever be bad. It’s that even bad things are included in the plan.

(The Mistborn series, especially the third book in the first era and the books in the second era, does a good job with this concept. Also the final book in The Wheel of Time touches on it during the confrontation with the Dark One.)

So theoretically, even a Christian who despises Trump could say Trump’s presidency is “part of God’s plan.”

(But I’m guessing that’s not what most people mean when they say something like this.)

Oof. I’m sorry, that sucks. Now that I’ve neutered the LG it’s a great TV. Just sits there doing what it’s told, turning on and off with the receiver and never changing input.

I factory reset my LG TV and refused to give it the WiFi password when they said they were going to use AI to analyze what people were watching on the TV to know best what ads to show us. Fuck that.

The TV is excellent as a dumb TV. Don’t need internet access.

Yup.

Or, Arceus forbid, a Charmander. If that tail flame goes out it dies!
