I like Lemmy but it's honestly boring and I find myself just not using any media sites anymore. Lemmy is awesome for what it is, but I can only take so much Linux and leftist politics masturbation. I'm rarely on here more than ten minutes at a time

Oh Christ no I know about Harrlequin ichytosis or however it's spelled. I thought the baby was a jester, I didn't put two and two together about it being a Harrlequin baby.

I once had an LLM write my son a birthday card as if I were an international fugitive escaping from the three-letter agencies, it was pretty fun

I'm secretly very glad when my son breaks one of his toys so I can take the whole thing apart. Children's trucks with pull and release and worm gears are very complex!

What is something you would like to abolish, and why? (Humorously)

Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co.

I've read his biography, I've listened to all of his music, and never in my life have I heard an artist whom I just wanted to give them a big hug. The guy struggled on an epic level in ways that I don't think many do, and he makes me feel his sadness in a very intense and real way. His songwriting is exemplary and original, and his lyrics are regularly bouncing around my head.

What sorts of punctuation do you wish existed, or were in common use in your language?

I've done this before. Example

I was going somewhere yesterday, the bank?, when I saw....

It's also fun to interject bangs into sentences too

I was so convinced that I was going to die!, but I ended up just fine.

Ultimately, I feel that if language is descriptive and not ambiguous it is legitimate English.

En dash is very useful for

Dates (3–20–25)Subtraction (although I think math script uses its own unique dash?) (7 – 1 = 6)Value ranges ($20–40)

Then of course there's the beautiful—and slightly different—em dash!

Don't blame Satan if things don't work out. It's God's plan right?

A major problem I've always had with that story is the fact that it is predicated on the fact that Adam and Eve acted disobediently by eating of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. But what is disobedience? Is disobedience a form of evil? To disobey God would be evil if it was done with knowledge, correct? How could Adam and Eve have possibly known that what they were doing was evil if they had no knowledge of such? Why would God set the situation up to necessitate that Adam and Eve would eventually disobey his wishes if they had no knowledge of good and evil, and therefore no knowledge of how their actions would have an impact or how their actions would be considered wrong. If a 2 year old disobeys their parents it's easy to brush off their behavior as just being ignorant, and Adam and Eve are effectively like the cosmic 2-year-old, totally incapable of understanding consequences, or righteousness, or disobedience. Fundamentally, the God that created the Garden of Eden must be evil because what he did is akin to me putting an infant in a room with a loaded bear trap and telling them not to touch it. They don't understand the consequences, nor do they really understand what commands mean. Is it really the baby's fault for getting caught in a bear trap if I am the one with superior agency and knowledge and I was the one that set the whole thing up in the first place? Who is really the evil one here?

God is often referred to as the Father, and if he is truly a father I would say that he fails miserably in that duty by the very fact that he put his children directly In harm's way. Yes, it is the responsibility of the parent to put obstacles in the way of their children so that they can grow, but at the same time it is also the responsibility to protect them from grievous harm, and clearly he didn't do this according to Genesis.
