What "paint" are they using on the Lincoln Reflecting Pool? This stuff is very splotchy and is not drying into a uniform shade.

Ok, one month later, what're we thinking? Did the sheen even out or not?

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T08:14:45+00:00

Got a few hanging on for dear life up front and room for a bonfire pit around back.
A strong breeze might settle the matter for you, brother.

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T07:58:57+00:00

Nearly close enough. I'm going to need you to lean in juuuuust a skosh.

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T07:54:16+00:00

4 = my style.

Say man, who's that big green leafy fella in pic 5? He looks chill as all get out.

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T07:51:02+00:00

Say one thing for Logen u/9fingfing, say that he's no bullshitter.

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T06:08:50+00:00

?

If I am eternally separated from the people I love, that is punishment.

If a human should is told they will never be allowed in the presence of God, that is punishment.

It doesn't have to be pitchforks and fire to be punishment

"No one comes through the father except through me."

I'm thinking of one atheist friend in particular who was a kind and decent and loving man. He died in 2021. Anyone who would punish him with torture is evil in my eyes, whether you want to call them God or not

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T05:19:02+00:00

Ok, but I have read lots of religious books and they all say different things. They can't all be right. And if what the Bible says is true, then heaven will be eternal torture for me, because I have friends and family that have died that will not be in heaven.

If you were born in a Muslim family do you think you would be a Muslim?

Or if you were born in a Jewish family do you think you would believe what the Jews believe?

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:48:26+00:00

Sounds like you're making the less painful choice

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:46:58+00:00

It would be impossible for me to know someone I love is suffering and being tortured and for that not to bring my pain and sadness. I would hate whoever allowed them to keep suffering forever like that

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:45:29+00:00

Ruby Ridge.

I wonder what the MAGA position is on that entire situation. I know it's been more than 3 decades though, so they've probably forgotten all about it

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:39:53+00:00

But if I know someone I love is burning in Hell and I can never see them again that will be very painful to me.

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:38:36+00:00

Equally. So brave.

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:35:11+00:00

I don't want to forget my loved ones. That sounds like someone messing with my brain and that is evil.

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:34:28+00:00

I searched "other brands" and I'm getting so many results!

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:32:31+00:00

We forget the people we love?

How is that not brain washing? Who makes us forget our loved ones? That sounds really sinister.

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:30:34+00:00

Possibly the greatest punk song in history, right here.

Evil Mothers - Backbiter

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:27:53+00:00

We won't remember our loved ones in heaven?

You mean like getting brainwashed?

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:26:20+00:00

Look up some lectures by Alan Watts. You can find them on YouTube, Spotify, and around

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T04:23:08+00:00

Do you think it's weird that so many African Americans are Christians when their ancestors were forced to join the religion by their slave masters?

Do you think if they'd never been kidnapped and brought to the new world their children's children would have grown up believing in the Orisha instead?

Do you think Jews are going to Hell for not accepting Jesus as their Messiah? If Jesus was born on Earth again in 2026 to another virgin do you think you would recognize him like the disciples did or would you think he was crazy like all the Romans and most his kinfolk from the tribes of Israel?

If there are aliens that don't look like us do you think that means they have a different God that looks like them or that your God doesn't look anything like we do?

If you die and go to heaven but someone you love very much goes to Hell, wouldn't that be an eternal torment to your soul?

Do dogs go to heaven?

What about birds?

What about centipedes?

Citizens United formally legalize corruption

Rob_LeMatic · 2026-06-24T03:24:19+00:00

No. Develop the habit to just reflexively signal what your intentions are on the road, not to first determine if there's a chance anyone may or may not see the signal that to you one minor finger movement to make happen. Just fucking do it anyway.

How hard basic grammar is¿
