Isn't there a Protestant branch that actually preaches this?
God has a plan but it doesn't involve you. And he doesn't love or even care about you. You're all going to Hell anyway.
See ya next Sunday!

*picks up coffee mug*
This...is beyond my awake intellect. It has a void which can be filled, yet emptied!
It contains a multitude of shapes and yet also...spaces.
I can't describe more or I WILL GO MAD!
It's writing is alien or by a mad poet from a lost language
*WORLDS BEST BOSS*

Muted and blocked you.
In fact, I uninstalled the app before reinstalling it to post this.
I hate you and, despite never having read your posts, judge you based on nothing.
I am so disappointed more people don't think like me. Thankfully, we vote.
/satire
//but also not for some people

This is a good plan, actually. I've been doing this but with more titles and with the game carousel up. So it behooves me to uninstall a bunch and also hide the game library.

Same, Toothless. Sharing mood

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

A bright red, cup-shaped fungus, the inner surface is a vibrant red, while the outer surface is paler and covered in tiny hairs, often found growing in leaf litter on twigs with moss already established.

A large and almost pristine scarlet elf cup fungus, spotted this very afternoon. It must have only just appeared because every other one I saw had already been extensively munched upon by something 🌱🍄

I mean, if you're going to do it, do it right. None of this poncy pronunciation.
Isn't that right, Ghe-OR-ghe. None of this /JOR j/ garbage. It's spelled out right there in EhN Glish: George

You mean, he lied?
*puts a potato chip my mouth*
Huh.
Tell me more.
*crunch crunch*

That feeling when you realize the communist mayor you voted on housing and infrastructure js more GOP than your previous two mayors smh #seattlemayor #soundtransit

Not just LA. I'm disappointed in the two most progressive cities I've lived in: Portland and Seattle

FINALLY: If a donut shop says they give you a baker's dozen and it's 12...screw that. That place blows chunks.

Am a former English teacher and forever word nerd, the expression "baker's dozen" USED TO mean 13 of a tangible thing. Now it implies a vague amount of any quantifiable idea or thing above a dozen but within reason. 20 skins of a toon for your game is NOT a baker's dozen but maybe 14 is.

*raises hand
Person who worked at a bakery a long time ago.
The baker's dozen thing is really kind of a courtesy thing. At certain times during the day, they want to get rid of product for several valid reasons. Instead of wasting food, they will just add a freebie or 3.

Are...are they wrong? I don't think they're wrong. They have multiple outside perspectives and all we see is "we're #1!" while our cities are foggy with tear gas

Bacharach, now Sedaka. Who’s next goddamnit. Put the top down this weekend and blast some sick pop hits

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

A blind Rohingya man survived a genocide in Burma, escaped to the United States, and then died because immigration officers treated him with such callousness. This story is a tragedy www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...

Bot, are you feeling OK?

I can finally announce that my little game, that I originally made for the Steam Deck, is coming to the Nintendo Switch!

Hold on. I don't remember this. Did they have the same actor in TWO roles? That's sort of confusing.

/ in the comics Clark Kent makes a phone call. And then they show Superman finishing a call from another phone booth. What a coincidence!

Funny thing. I am a dog sitter. And one of my clients dog doesn't like hugs either. EXCEPT me. He adores me and will jump up for hugs and snuggles. His mom is so mad!lol

Tonight is your night. I see...wait.

Sorry, it was a garbage man. With the hard hat, it was easy to mistake him for a slender woman wearing something dark and slinky, with a small Baretta in a thigh holster.

I know another mvp. And that person? You
