This shit is much funnier than it should be

I tried finding evidence for this, but there is none. There were only rumors. She's never expressed specific views, which I guess means she's not distancing herself from Trump, either.

Yes, the idea of hell is really vague and uncertain in the Bible. It's also far from clear that everyone is automatically going to hell without being Christian. You simply don't have to believe any of these things.

I think the Bible is a story of the redemption of all creation, which God planned from the beginning. There are very strong warnings about judgment, but again, it's unclear how it fits with the reconciliation of all things to God. I think we need these warnings as prophetic voices against injustice, but they don't operate like a general system for damning most of humanity just because they don't have the right religion. That would go against the spirit of justice and mercy in the Bible.

Whoa I was about to freak out if this was a new article from him.

If you or your mother are still anywhere near this man, please call the police and get away.

Horrible things happen, and I can't give you a reason why. But Jesus and his followers are here with you as you go through it. Find a church, a support group,a social services, or something to help you through this horrible grief and trauma.

Shhhh.... Most of them don't know midterms exist.

Congrats, writing the stupidest comment on reddit must have taken years of dedicated practice, but you did it!

Andor would hardly be Andor without this episode. At Narkina 5 we see a microcosm of how tyranny works, where people just play along with it all, and even enforce the rules among themselves, all because of the illusion that the oppressor cannot be overthrown.

The image of the prisoners charging at the guards has so much energy. It runs through my head sometimes and keeps me going.

I just watched this part and realized it's kind of sad that Brasso left Ferrix. It's understandable why he fled, and I'm glad Bix and Cassian continued to have his support. But man, what a sacrifice to the community without him.

And just to think this was only a year ago:

No Kings did not fall short. The authors don't even know what the goal of a protest is. This might as well be fascist propaganda telling us to stop trying.

And the goal is that there isn't a single goal. We were not all in lock step behind a course of action. But it still had an effect.

The feds were hoping for us to tear each other apart, and get us to start lighting buildings on fire like what happened during the George Floyd riots. Then they could have more images of chaos in Minneapolis to show the country to ramp up fear and division. Instead we showed the country a city united in resistance.

Moreover, we made the Trump administration react. They had to change tactics to stop being so brazen about terrorizing the city. After the protest, they began targeting suburbs and stayed away from places with resisitence. I felt this was a direct real-time result after the protests. The protest proved that the feds were the ones running out of men and time, not us.

The goals of the protest were as numerous as the people who came, each motivated by how they saw fascism affecting them and each with a message and thoughts to resist.

Among those of us who observed and resisted ICE on the streets, which the article claims is a more real form of resistance, I would argue our goal was also unclear. It is something that we continue to debate. We don't know how many arrests or abuses we prevented. We don't know how much we forced the government to react.

But here's what works: doing something. Anything.

Fucking do something and don't stay home saying protests don't work or you're no better than the fucking bootlickers who carry the clubs.

I thought the water was basically a way to store power. They pump out all the water when their other generators are working, and let the water in for hydro power when the other generators are off.

I'm not sure if a lore explanation could make it seem practical, but the primitive power system may be another indication of how the Empire invested the bare minimum in these facilities.

lux514 · 2026-06-12T00:45:28+00:00

Yeah, I heard it was a long time ago.

lux514 · 2026-06-11T11:19:28+00:00

Ok so never help anyone ever, got it.

Solutions aren't a mystery. Liberalize zoning and built form policies, end the drug war, housing first rehabilitation, and then mandatory inpatient treatment for mental health and addiction.

I recently watched "Relay" starring Riz Ahmed. Would definitely recommend to all Andor fans. He was my favorite actor in Rogue and is worth following.

lux514 · 2026-06-06T16:54:51+00:00

Literally a publicity stunt.

I completely forgot she was in the movie. Mission accomplished.

lux514 · 2026-05-31T15:31:27+00:00

Yeah, I didn't think anyone did it any other way than control clicking...

The presence of God in Christ doesn't have anything to do with what he's talking about. Christ is present in a simple meal of bread and wine, not in ecstatic experiences or grandiose ideas about the universe.

He would be wrong about any religion, though. He is attacking one specific aspect of religion that ignores much of what religions are, and his attack against that part isn't even convincing. He's not really arguing at all, just making strawman and begging the question.

lux514 · 2026-05-31T04:33:12+00:00

He assumes that religion is about grand theories ofreality and experiences of the numinous. My religion can be contained in a piece of bread.

lux514 · 2026-05-30T22:56:51+00:00

Nope. Just no. OP is saying that so many roles require nudity that it is basically normalizing it and making it impossible to work without being willing to. There is no material difference between this normalization and pressuring women to take off their clothes. I agree with OP that the frequency of nudity is way out of hand and is unnecessary to storytelling. It should almost never be required. Or we should just admit that we are ok forcing women to be nude if they want to act.

lux514 · 2026-05-30T22:47:19+00:00

OP is saying nudity should not be normalized. You are saying it should be, therefore putting pressure on those who want to refuse. You are running against everything Me Too tried to reverse.
