Because an uncaring or immoral god is unworthy of praise or devotion. Why donate your life or your fortune to a god that created the universe and then fucked off?

That's possible. Dude is ancient, and has often been on the wrong side of history. Who knows what he actually believes.

The number of times the Democrats have said "We couldn't have won that vote, so we didn't push the issue" and I'm like, that's how you change the conversation! You get Congressional candidates on record as opposing this thing that would have helped. You don't avoid the issue because you'll lose.

I think he signed this one because the threat of what is coming is much worse. But I do agree, I wish Biden were a better man than he is.

Oh good to know. It's been recommended to me for couch coop, but nobody ever mentioned that it was that heavy. My kids would definitely not enjoy that.

Yeah, normally I'm all for morons taking themselves out of the equation, but as with Covid, it won't be the morons that are most affected. It will be the sick, the poor, the old, and the young.

As a gamer dad, there are sadly very few couch coop games that make the third controller worth it. It's good for them each to have one, though, so they can each be responsible for keeping it charged.

Sports games, whichever sports they play. Spider-Man was a big hit, if they can manage to take turns. I've heard good things about It Takes Two, but I haven't bought that one yet.

I believe that has been your personal experience, but that's not the case for everyone. Addiction isn't rational, and alcoholism wears a lot of costumes.

Sometimes alcohol abuse is just addiction. Trauma soon follows, though.

You mean the evidence collected by the bipartisan congressional committee investigating the credible and substantiated rape allegations against Matt Gaetz?

It's alarming how surprised the oligarchs seem to be. Like they didn't realize they were the baddies.

Both sides are corrupt.

One side is corrupt despite the well-intentioned support of principled people.

The other is corrupt by design, enabled by the narcissistic support of bigots and sycophants.

The former might do the best thing for the country.

The latter will always do the best thing for their own self-interest.

None of our leaders or representatives should be expected to resist corruption. That's why we need checks and balances against corruption, and we as voters need to hold those representatives accountable.

That man shook my hand, looked me straight in the eye, and said with a smile, "It's really nice to meet you." I am, in fact, incredibly unpleasant. WHAT ELSE IS HE LYING ABOUT?!

I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

Has this ever happened to you? There's a fly in the house, buzzing around you, so you go to the cabinet to get the swatter. But as soon as you start wielding it, the little bastard disappears. You set it down, and now he's back, taunting you.

Ok so obviously flies don't taunt, but do they have the capacity to recognize, even instinctually, that I'm holding a deadly weapon?
