We should start posting about Lyle Mittenhouse

I guess he did say he'd be back as president... President of the new internet isn't what I was expecting, though.

Similar but not the same. Examine rear legs, butt region, and armpits.

It was actually a typo that I missed, but it actually works, so I'll leave it.

I was on some medication for migraines a few years ago and it caused debilitating brain fog and, for lack of a better phrase, bade my brain lethargic.

The brain fog side effect is, honestly, the most terrifying to me after my experience with that other drug. Well, maybe the scariest non-death side effect that doesn't involve offspring.

that's why they're trying to automate the process

There's a reason I put a ring on it 😉

I wouldn't be upset for a second if we went back to only male property owners could vote.

And now mandates. Are they working? Probably somewhat. But I don't think if somebody has held out this long that they will be easy to coerce into it.

Don't be so cocky. It's working on way more people than it should.

My unvaxxed fiance and many coworkers are against the vaccine and the mandate, but last week, they had a covid vax clinic come in. Management was able to coerce a couple of the resisters to get it, and then they went out and encouraged others to go ahead and get it. From what I understand, everyone but my fiance that was present got the shot and everyone was ganging up on her trying to convince her to get it, because "oh, we got it, and look, we're fine" and telling everyone that management would buy takeout if everyone got the shot.

So now everyone gets to hold it over her head that they lost out on a free lunch because she won't cave to bullies and play russian roulette.

I'm not sure if Quinton Lucas needs to go fuck himself, if Frank White needs to go fuck himself, or if they should just fuck each other and be done with it.

I usually skip over the Bible Study posts on here, but this one really caught my attention. And it's really convicting. I don't skip them due to not being Christian, but because I struggle with reading Scripture and it generally loses my interest for reasons I don't comprehend.

Anyway... Brain and soul dump incoming.

I have a huge disconnect between knowledge and understanding in most parts of my life, but especially my Faith. Probably some autism going on, but I digress. I've known that God is a Good Father, and that we are to look up to Him and share our life with Him, but it always manifests for me as only sharing my troubles when I'm down, asking for help with whatever is on my plate at that moment, etc, without sharing much in the joys of life (of which I have few because I'm full of bitterness for most people around me) and especially not any kind of small talk. Seems like a waste of His time, and I feel like a jerk for only dragging all my problems to Him, so I shut down and rarely pray. I also suck at gratitude.

We are to love the Lord our God with all our hearts, our minds, and our strength.

I... Haven't been doing that. I'm aware of Christ's sacrifice, and I have thanked Him for dying to pay for my sin, but I have not loved Him back for it. To an extent, I'm even embarrassed to talk about my Faith or about Jesus or my Church; not in a denying way, but I'm definitely far from an Evangelist.

I'm not Loving to Him.

This post is realigning my thinking.

I need to take what "God is a Good Father" means seriously. And I need to take the action of Loving Him seriously.

If your father is good, it is not loving to constantly drag your problems to his feet without sharing the joys in life or just hanging out for a bit (ie small talk).

If your father is good, it is not loving to ignore him until you're desperate for his help and then ignore him again.

If your father is good, it is not loving to take advantage of what he has given you without recognition or any form of reciprocation.

If your father is good, it is not loving to be embarrassed about his existence and that he has helped you in life.

If your father is good... Love him. Hang out with him. Share your joys and experiences with him. Get excited about the thing you just learned about that he's known since before you were born. Reciprocate gifts with him even if he's Michaelangelo and the best you can do is a crayon stick figure. Be curious. Learn about what he's up to or what he has done before you were around. Continue his legacy for the next generations.

And if you love him... He's more likely to talk to you.

As we've grown up, we've learned how our earthly fathers, even if they are good, are fallible. This is why we can look to God with a childlike wonder, in awe of his infallibility, His love, and His perfection. At a level impossible for us to realize if we don't know Him, and impossible to achieve even if we do, but He knows that. And He has forgiven us for that, so long as we recognize and accept it.

This is convicting not just of my relationship with my Heavenly Father but also with my earthly father.

I'm sorry. To both of you. I have some more soul searching to do, but I promise to start doing better.

It'll be extra fun with the cities That are split by state borders.

Or once the prion diseases start to take over his brain and nervous system

I've heard several people around say that they're doing more and more operations with just local anesthetic or with a longer-lasting local and a shorter-term general (or even just a sedative) to keep them out for the shortest possible duration. A friend had invasive hip surgery a few months ago and they give him a couple different locals and just sedated him during the surgery. He was pretty much back to normal by the mid afternoon (late morning surgery).

I wonder if psilocybin is somehow related to the last remnants of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, what with all the "religious", "spiritual", and "permanent psychological change" experiences people have had.

I am thinking critically.

For a long time, I've believed that there's at least a good chance that homosexuality is almost entirely a viral issue. Viruses actually being a symptom of parasites? Sure, I can see that. And some of the things in parasite pill.

The global elites actually being worms in human bodies? Satan's actually a worm? Egyptian snakes are actually worms? No, can't get behind that stuff.

edit: forgot a word - "almost a viral issue" -> "almost entirely a viral issue"

I feel like that's actually an example of the incompatibility. Explaining a spiritual issue away with a medical explanation.

I see this and the parasite pill and I want to believe, but the whole thing seems hypermaterialistic and incompatible with Christianity. Blaming many bits of evil on infection rather than the fall of man and the ensuing spiritual issues. Help, anyone?

He's pro vax but anti mandate.

They are Godless and materialistic. Remember, the devil strives to keep people away from God. For the people who "just want to be good people" and don't strive to actively seek out and do evil, materialistic morality is a well-designed buffer to keep them from seeing the true source of Goodness.

Like they care

A friend of mine had that happen too summer of last year sometime. Was getting a SARS-2-Electric-Boogaloo test before a surgery or something like that, if I remember correctly.

I can understand changing your mind if you planned on having kids but found out before marriage that your spouse-to-be is infertile. It's unfortunate, but honestly reasonable. I disagree with divorce on that basis, though.

My fiancé and I both have reason to believe having kids will be difficult for us, but we have agreed that it isn't something to prevent us from getting married. I fully understand the other side though.

The couple times he did it, he did his best to not hurt civillians.

Apple flavored is such a lie.. Tastes like an apple candle - bitter wax and smells like apple.
