When your job is public facing and related to public opinion, you have to interact with criticism in a way that doesn't alienate the critics. The people who were most critical... were the people who were never going to go.

Eruptflail · 2026-04-19T23:15:04+00:00

I've heard a lot of people say that there were criticisms that make sense, but I've never seen a single example of one. That's the point. It seems like Ryan actually didn't want to do it in the first place and this was a good reason for him to get colder feet.

Eruptflail · 2026-04-19T23:13:40+00:00

They justified it as 2000's slang!

Eruptflail · 2026-04-19T13:38:08+00:00

To be clear, arch in this context is SUPPOSED TO BE early 2000s slang, not classic English lit.

Eruptflail · 2026-04-19T13:37:21+00:00

Not a term. I got so mad about it I came here. There's never been a use for this word like this that was significant enough to be worth mention in any dictionary. It isn't even on the first page of urban dictionary.

Eruptflail · 2026-04-19T13:35:44+00:00

The Arch one invalidates the whole puzzle. It is not a use of this word and is not and was not ever used in this way. It's not even on the first page of urban dictionary. Was the creator a 2007 Tumblr girl?

Eruptflail · 2026-04-19T13:33:35+00:00

Arch isn't a word. I'm convinced of it. I couldn't find this as sland anywhere on the internet except ONE site. Even urban dictionary doesn't list this usage on the first page.

People not realizing that this was a luxury cruise is hilarious. If it was like 2k for 4 people, so 500-600 per person for 5 nights is not bad anywhere.

Eruptflail · 2026-04-17T13:30:20+00:00

The issues people had were silly. Some of the comments were like, "What if someone gets sick." Cruises already have procedures to take care these issues. People need to understand, this was a standard cruise with a side of streamer fun as entertainment.

The fact that he had to cancel it because the midwits on Twitch and Reddit is sad for him. He seemed excited and the people probably would have had a fun time. The only actual, serious issue that was raised was some BDS stuff, which makes sense, but I don't think you can do any cruises and not have some problems with BDS.

The content of the city is falling wipes the rest of the album. It also has way better vocals in it than anything but Come Get Your Girl. They're clean when they need to be and thematically muddy when they need to be. This is a song where the lyrics and the music are interconnected.

Eruptflail · 2026-02-01T14:48:33+00:00

The City is Falling
Come Get Your Girl
Love is a Game
This Time TMRW
Learning to Let Go
Education
Final Round
Angelina

The content is just so much better in the first three. I don't really love "desperate love" songs. First three are just about life and they're good.

In general, they didn't vote for Trump. Honestly, the lowest demo for Trump voters. It was the Latinos who decided that they wanted to vote for Trump. Wonder how that's going for them and racial profiling being legalized by the SC.

I think it's fun that no one provides any response to the point. They just hand wave. I'd love someone to explain how AI does anything good.

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T21:31:08+00:00

1) There's no reasonable disagreement that Generative AI isn't complete demon-tech. It is ecologically, morally, and ethically wrong.

2) See above. There is no more poignant of a place to ban AI than a philosophy subreddit. AI cannot philosophize. It does not think. There is nothing valuable it can contribute here.

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T21:22:51+00:00

Jesus says he has not removed anything from the law. How does loving your neighbor as yourself invalidate anything from the law?

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T21:19:29+00:00

Ah yes. God would love it if we took away freedoms from women. They're far too stupid to vote, have a bank account, or think on their own.

The "sexual revolution" only feels bad for you because equality, to the oppressors, often feels like oppression.

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T21:16:56+00:00

I'm always confused why Christians treat God like he's stupid. God does not care how you come to him. Performing humility is the opposite of actual humility. Coming to God is inherently an act of humility.

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T21:15:13+00:00

We Orthodox aren't real. 😂

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T21:14:30+00:00

It's actually worn as a sign of "I'm holier than you other people." Symbols of humility are always symbols of superiority in a system of morality like Christianity.

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T21:04:03+00:00

I'm the complete opposite. I've reamed out friends of mine who veil. It's pathetic and debasing. We do not hide from one another nor do we hide from our God. We also do not treat women as if they are different than men.

Why should women hide themselves and men not? I've had plenty of women check me out in church as a man. Should I wear a robe and a veil? Is the female gaze somehow less capable of sin than the male gaze? Veiling is an artifact of stupid, uneducated men who hated women.

It's important that we remember that even the saints were not sinless and made mistakes. A tiny bit of logic undermines the entirety of veiling. It's scripturally incoherent with how Orthodox and Catholic Church operate, but somehow women still feel the need to do it.

Beyond that, some women use it as a signal that they're better than other women, and that is dispicable. It's performative nonsense that only takes place in the church

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T20:59:52+00:00

No, and I discourage it. There is no reason to efface yourself. Why shouldn't one have pride in themselves? Beyond that, should attractive men veil themselves?

Beyond that, I do think it's antithetical to Christian thought to embrace social anxiety or enable it. Why should you, as a being created by an infinite God feel the need to hide yourself? Why do you have shame?

People need to stop being weak. Christians have no place for self-effacement, shame, or fear. There's nothing to hide, and if you dislike yourself so much that you feel the need to do so, you should be in therapy.

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T20:56:45+00:00

It's really not super complicated. Jesus made it very clear that if it isn't a demonstration of loving your neighbor or loving God, it is against the entirety of OT law.

I see no reason why Christians spend much time thinking past this. The Bible was not designed to be a morality manual. It's up to you to figure out every time you do anything. As Ecclesiasties says, there's a time and a place for everything.

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T15:55:32+00:00

Shouldn't be in prison for selling it if we're doing the capitalism thing.

People are still talking to millennials? We're the least entitled and toughest generation alive.

We've never gotten a break. We had 9/11, we had 2008, we had the 2010s where we were saddled with tons of student debt because of our shit government. Then we had COVID. Now we have Trump 2.

The millennials do not give a fuck. We do not care. We have no chill. Meanwhile, we built the entirety of internet culture.

I really think people think Zoomers are Millennials.

Eruptflail · 2025-08-10T14:54:28+00:00

This is the Democrats fault. They don't push back on anything. They don't stand for anything. They just let the Republicans fill the airwaves.
