can god kill god

It’s not a paradox, the words are just incoherent. It’s like asking whether God can taste the color blue. The answer isn’t yes/no, there is no answer.

edit: a word

balderdash9,

The idea that the infinitely perfect Abrahamic God exists but you’d somehow be happier separated from God (and languishing in hell for all eternity) is so foreign to me as a theist that I have to assume you aren’t taking the starting assumption seriously.

Atheists who deny the existence of God make far more sense than those who say they’d rather be in hell as a matter of principle.

OpenDyslexic is a free typeface/font designed to mitigate some of the common reading errors caused by dyslexia. The typeface was created by Abbie Gonzalez, who released it through an open-source license. The design is based on DejaVu Sans, also an open-source font.

TIL there’s a dyslexic friendly font!

balderdash9,

Isn’t it funny how any proposal that would harm the interests of seniors is a third rail in US politics, but they can willingly fuck over our children?

balderdash9,

I’m not a Rogan meathead, but women are absolutely super choosey these days. Dating apps have given women an inflated sense of their own (dating) worth, and they largely want tall, handsome, well-off, slightly older men.

Of course I’m painting with a broad brush here, but this post is talking in generalities anyway.

balderdash9,

Apparently my red flags are being too short. But let’s keep pretending that women are saints 🙏🏽

balderdash9,

Fair enough. I’m not an incel and I have found some luck in the dating scene. But it’s important that we speak honestly about these trends in dating. And while I don’t think all problems in society stem from capitalism, I do agree that capitalism is exasperating the problems in the dating scene.

balderdash9,

This is why I name literally everything I save according to words I would use to search it.

balderdash9,

This isn’t exactly an answer, but ReNamer is a free tool that allows you to name batches of files. It’s a pretty versatile tool that lets you do multiple things to the filename of different media types.

balderdash9,

You mean introduce some level of automation? Because I already manually name the files according to keywords

balderdash9,

Now they tell me!

balderdash9,

It’s good to support creators if you like what they’re doing. I’ve supported Zishy in the past because they do high quality tasteful clothed/teasing photos of women who look like real women (not that there’s anything wrong with bimbos/plastic surgery). If you appreciate what someone is doing, monetary support isn’t unusual at all.

If you’re going to lock the country down then you need to support small businesses too. Imagine spending long nights building a business only to see it disappear under COVID restrictions. And then you learn that the restrictions weren’t necessary.

balderdash9,

Masks are more effective in protecting others if you are sick, rather than protecting yourself if others are sick.

This was 100% not the messaging that was told to the public in the beginning.

99% of medicine is throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.

Social distancing was an easy way to make it less likely to spread

I’m just going to keep copy and pasting in this thread: This was not communicated to the public in the beginning. Recommendations were stated definitively (i.e., without the qualification that we don’t really know what to do yet) and then latter revised. This erodes public trust.

Holy shit, a reasonable comment that doesn’t just assume the other half of the country are idiots.

People don’t know what to believe and are skeptical for good reason (some historical, some present). Time and time again we’ve seen our institutions fails us. We see blatant corruption that the elites don’t even bother to hide (e.g. corporate capture). And we see freedoms eroded in times of crisis (e.g. Patriot Act). I’m not saying we should be conspiratorial about doctors or science. But reasonable people on both sides of the aisle see what’s happening to our institutions and this has knock on effects.

balderdash9,

Okay, what about when there is a lack of consensus? When you have scientists who, for example, argue that the virus came from the Wuhan lab whereas the narrative being told is that that’s crazy. This is the problem I have with people in this thread assuming that everyone who isn’t immediately on board is dumb, delusional, conspiratorial, etc. We’re not talking about flat Earth theory here; it’s not that simple.
