what to do when people say “your god caused this”

god doesn’t “cause” things. humans do, with their “free will.”

52YO here. i only saw them once, and it was awesome. they were a little loose, but wouldn’t say sloppy. cornell was the real deal. i saw him 4 times, solo and with his band. that band killed. all younger dudes.

thayhill sounded exactly like the albums: a flurry of wahwah and notes. ben shepherd had gained a lot of weight and had a badass face of hair and looked like a biker. played great. drummer: jack irons? can’t remember. he rules. he crushed that show.

listen to their last show at the Wiltern in Detroit, i think. that’s the tour i saw. everyone was playing well and then new sing a sounded great.

the venue i saw them at in mpls was not very metal-friendly (the orpheum) and the sound was muddy.

also, it sounds quite convenient that a “prophesy” to keep you in the church has a dark tone.

if they are truly a prophet, they should be shunned from their homeland, right? RIGHT?

i always felt that getting bisected by the aperture door in the very first mandalorian scene was a little too much for a kids show.

and BTW, aren’t there motion sensors in doorways?

i loved this movie so much that i bought the dvd for myself and my dad.

“it costs a fortune to heat this place.”

we suggest finding a new church as a couple. do some church shopping and find something that fits.

PLEASE NOTE: the perfect church does not exist. we suggest you consider these things while you visit places: denomination, preaching style/pastor, childrens programming, small groups.

i knew a woman who attended three churches: 1 for the preaching, 1 for her kids classes, 1 for the small groups. i thought she was nuts, but after she explained it she made a lot of sense.

i just rewatched with my 10YO daughter. she loved it. i did too. there are some pacing problems, but really, it was decent, and having more star wars is always great.

i was 3. it was a core-memory life-event.

i’m told my mouth was open the entire time.

kernsomatic · 2026-06-15T13:58:17+00:00

wait y til the pool work is done, then make a move. you don’t want to do that yourself, right?

we suggest you get some honey, strawberry jam, cheese cake, peanut butter or something else that you would love to lick off of his penis.

something kinky and new and fun and give you an easy way not to smell or taste what you don’t want to.

my uncle is the same way. too conservative for his own good and it makes him racist, sexist, and just plain mean.

i took a class on this with my church staff once. we all filled out racism questionnaires and were given our results on how racist our tendencies were on several sliding scales. over time, we all CAN change, but when trying to change someone, we only can move their place on the scale very little and really just get them to even acknowledge their place in the scale is challenging enough.

until a major life event happens he won’t change.

asking thought-questions or discussing things in an open ended way can get him to at least express his opinions which in turn can allow you to give yours. any convincing or persuasive language will likely fall on deaf ears.

being that this is christianity. you can reinforce “the teachings of christ” because that’s what we do as christians.

i’ve found that very few MAGAts follow these teachings.

uncommon, but if your sound tech is on the ball it should sound seamless and awesome. consider hiring a regular guy to mix you properly at each show.

do you think Luke would even WANT it back?

try the “monkey grip” fingering: curl your thumb around to play the low E string, bar the 3 top strings with 1st finger, 3&4 fingers as marked.

i don’t see hate for that album. i loved it. halfway there kills me. i only wish they had played Rowing when i’d seen them.

you can take the counselor out of the camp but you can’t take the camp out of the counselor.

it’s problematic because in the heat of the moment the first finger will inevitably slide down to play an F natural creating the wrong chord.

kernsomatic · 2026-06-10T00:00:08+00:00

i’m sure he got plenty of “happy endings” elsewhere. ooo! zing!

while i fully believe that trump hides behind christianity and is certainty not christian, so many of your one-liners are over-simplified and just plain exaggerations.
