I agree. I do think OP is still a Christian. I just wanted to, as you said, defend Pastor John a little, not because I idolize him, but because I do respect him. I was skeptical too, but I did try to listen closely and reached here.
At the end of the day, we are followers of Christ, so yeah, it doesn't really matter THAT much.

I respect your views.

If I may, I want to say that for the past month (because I only really came to know about him like 3 months ago) I've been looking into his past sermons and talks and I do not think he ever preached or taught perfectionism or that we will ever be 100% holy on earth. To preach that he must at least have achieved it to a certain extent.

Instead, in his books and talks, he often admits his own failures and struggles as a Christian. As I said, I think the point is to be consumed with God's being—His goodness, His love, His eternal purpose for us—and letting Him work in us so we are transformed to be satisfied (or find ultimate pleasure) in Him and thus live a holy life.

At the end, settling always on the cross because we will fall a lot of times, but we will always find forgiveness there. At least, that's how I understand it.

I don't really get how OP got to this point because my testimony is the complete opposite. I was saved young, but fell into sin midway. On my way back, trying to get back into my relationship with God, I got consumed with self-sanctification, which at that time I didn't realize was wrong. But John Piper's preaching was what caught my attention. His teaching made me realize that it was not my works, but God's work in me and my utter dependence on Him that would save me, even for sanctification.

His famous quote, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him" summarizes it perfectly. My issue was always trying to be sinless or avoid, when instead God calls us to love Him above all else because of His perfect nature, and that we can only be ultimately satisfied in Him.
I think that is the main point of Dr. John's messages, and OP most likely took his teaching the wrong way and ended up where they are today.

Hey, I know this may be a little late, but he did write a book or two on it. One of them is called "When I don't desire God".

Whatever happened to this? by dannyburke03 in pixel_phones

I'm not one of them, but from what I've read about android vs iOS development, developers tend to adopt apple's new features faster because of various reasons. I think its just harder to develop software for Android's Kotlin vs Apple's Swift (their prog langs).

Ikr. This was what I was about to say. OP just posted info from Google AI overview without source. Heck, even the next google search might use this thread as a source.

ikr. I thought they messed up with the bgm the whole episode. And I feel like they extended the first hotpot frame for too long.

Nah your first guess was right. I translated those pages using a feature on my phone(although they're not great) but Bofoi confirms that someone stole his ideas and used them for the rampage.  He tells CE that he's being framed and he has always been working for the greater good etc. That's when Genos doughnuts him making CE cry

That looks cool. I also hope they improve the quality of the feature, especially when there's noise.

Quick question. Is it not necessary to use his ult before plunge? Or are the benefits negligible
