Szeth's Facepalm

Lig a log? Sorry m8, ya win some ya lose some

Where's that little white cartoon beagle from again? That's technically illegal.

Yeahhhh not super convincing. We know it's you, shadow creature. 2/10.

Yes Yes they would

*obviously this is just my opinion, it could most certainly be wrong, this is just the reasoning my weird little brain came up with and obviously i respect everyone else's beliefs* Ok, i have done some thinking since this... peculiar post, and have also had an experience that leads me to believe this: i think it is likely that there is a god, or a higher power of some sort. Maybe it goes beyond death, i don't know. But what i have trouble believing in is one that is omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and omniscient. Any of those on their own are fine, even two of them together. If it was infinitely loving, it would want us all to be happy, so it would want to banish sadness and pain from the world. If it was also omniscient, it would know of all the sadness and pain in the world now and all the sadness and pain to come. But it wasn't omnipotent, so it wouldn't be able to stop all of the pain and sadness. If it was omnipotent and omniscient, but not omnibenevolent, maybe it liked seeing the suffering sometimes and let it be. If it was all-powerful and all-loving but not all-seeing, it would banish as much suffering from the world as it could, but it wouldn't be able to see all of it so it wouldn't be able to banish all of it. But all three.... that just doesn't make sense. If we're saying it's because of agency, i think god would at least stop all the sadness and pain that stems from religion. That doesn't mean it would have to say "this religion is the correct religion, follow it", but i'd imagine, if it was omnipotent, that it would make it so love for everyone, regardless of their religious beliefs, was the most important part of every single religion and every single person. (I know a lot of people think that way, but there are to many that don't for me to believe it is already happening.) So basically, i think it is likely that there is some sort of god or higher power, but i don't think a deity that is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent could exist.

My dad is just downright homophobic, and he is vocal about it if he wants to be. I honestly don't get how parents are mad if their kids don't share their ideas and values. Like, were they expecting us to be little robots that copy everything they say and do? It is very confusing to me. Anyway, coming out would be nice, but i don't think my parents deserve it. They created an environment where i feel like coming out is a huge risk, which wouldn't have been a problem if all their children were cis-het, but i'm not, so they kinda messed up there. And i don't think they deserve to share this journey with me at the moment.

Are they... demi-ok with it-- I'm so sorry that was an awful pun and not the time or context for one i'm so sorry why am i posting this i'm so sorry star

Yassssss! Sums it up perfectly Um So i have question for lqbtq community How does one politely point out to one who thinks they are an ally that they are actually kinda homophobic

Ayyyyy fellow agender fren! Welcome (back) to the shard.

I think there's something. Maybe it's something we think of as God, maybe it is just an intelligent force beyond our comprehension. Maybe it's just science. But i think there's something out there. But it is sometimes easier to think that we are all just organisms, our evolution was just a freak accident, and that we don't have souls and are just electrified meat. It makes it a lot easier to not care what other people think. But it also makes life seem meaningless. So in conclusion? I don't know if i believe in a god, exactly. But i do think there is something out there that could have the potential to be a god, if that makes any sense. I guess this was just a roundabout way of saying i'm a weird brand of agnostic lol Sorry, i'm kind of rambling Edit: ok i just read over that and realized it makes absolutely no sense and makes me sound kind of crazy. Erm. In the words of of Henry Cheng, thought is my native language and it does not translate well to english.

Marina and the Diamonds

My entire family except me and my sister got covid It's so friking unfair because this was right before a vacation that i was really, really, really, really looking forward to, and for this entire pandemic but especially now we have been more careful than literally anyone i know, we wear n-95 masks in spaces that do not require any masks and we mostly keep big gatherings outdoors and we are so careful, even to the point that some people made fun of us, and then we let our friends stay with us for a night and they weren't careful and now we have covid. And now our three week vacation that i was awaiting desperately is probably gonna be canceled. i think i'm gonna cry Anyway, covid is still out there guys, be careful
