I have fantasized for a while now (over a decade) about fabricating a rapture, reporting and evidence enough to convince those who believe in raptures.
Why? I suspect any Christian expecting to be raptured would have their attitude improved by facing the notion they don’t actually qualify for God’s elite club and eventually coming to terms with this reality.
Either they’d strive to do better, or they’d join the rest of us renegades.
Of course, for me, my journey towards naturalism was most terrifying coming to terms not just with mortality but with the insignificance of my species (which is already careening towards our great filter). These are the revelations that religions try to allow their followers to avoid. Tens of thousands of sects all claiming to be God’s true chosen.
This isn't journalism, it's a rehashing of a reddit post. And the image next to the article appears to be AI generated.
Fuck everyone involved in this story.
Fuck boingboing for being fucking thieves.
Fuck the woman for being a shitty christian who tried to take her tips back.
Fuck the taco workers for posting to reddit still.
Fuck me for engaging with this shit and giving Boing a click.
If you maintain an account on an instance that does not hide the identities behind votes, like Kbin, it’s a simple thing to know. I don’t usually look, but occasionally I’m curious.
EDITED TO ADD: I just looked at Kbin, they do not appear to be showing downvotes anymore (every post and comment on my page has a downvote total of zero) so scratch that, lol
I’ve never asked. It’s happened twice to me on Lemmy: once it was readily apparent because they tangled with me and I guess I really pissed them off, and the other time it was someone I’d never openly interacted with at all. In neither instance was a question going to get more of an answer than I already had, IMO.
Every once in a while I’ll accidentally bump an upvote or downvote as I’m scrolling. I think I usually catch it but I’m assuming that I’ve left downvotes on plenty of entirely normal comments when I don’tcatch it. Whenever I get a random downvote I just assume it’s from the same thing.
I’m on a random app and while it’s obvious if I pay attention. I, occasionally, tap the down arrow by mistake while scrolling. Usually when I do this I notice it and undo it, but I imagine it’s happened a few times without me noticing.
Just saying it’s possible it’s some donkey like me that fat fingered a downvote.
Both my coworker and I have already received our tips with our paychecks, and we obviously have to pay income tax on them. Returning the money to her at this point is literally impossible since we don’t actually have all the money.
Fucking up and making it other peoples problem is peak Christianity.
Honestly, if they are both that dense to believe that a well-known and well established astronomical phenomena is heralding the end of the world as it hasn’t for millennia of this happening and that insulting that you would only give a major tip when you believed that the recipient wouldn’t be able to enjoy it then they most assuredly deserved the loss.
