  • Why not engage?

    I do believe you should watch some more Lucifer, you would probably change your opinion on the portrayal of heaven and hell in it. Heaven is a walled off garden of aspiration for all of the metaphysical beings in the show, and hell is a place of such suffering that the only ones content to be there have never experienced heaven. I don’t believe it matches the characterizations you’re claiming it does, despite having watched an entire episode.

    And being sympathetic towards Lucifer is not the writers attempt to portray hell as good. Lucifer is a character of manipulation and uses temptation to get what he desires. The devil, as much as it is portrayed in the Bible, doesn’t act with deeds of evil, but deeds of manipulation and temptation.


  • You should watch more Lucifer.

    You have a very flawed perception on what’s going on in the good place if you think the actors from “the bad place” are working to get people into heaven, or the reason the people of heaven leave so quickly.

    But I’ll bite on what I perceive to be a barely good faith question and not a concern troll post.

    When you look at the idea pushed (especially in the last few hundred years) of a dichotomy of infinite joy or infinite suffering, there’s a lot of realism that can be pushed in the gray areas. The absolutist of everything is good because everything is good and everything is evil because everything is evil has been portrayed from the good side for a long time, the somewhere in between that modern media takes from brings things towards the middle on both sides, but concern trolls can’t rationalize heaven to be anything but perfect, so they go on tirades about media they don’t care to look at critically, whenever they feel their absolutist belief of heaven good is analyzed with a modicum of scrutiny.


  • GeForce now. As long as you have streaming speed Internet you can play so many games, at such high quality.

    Microsoft game pass, I haven’t tried it with the above because I don’t have great Internet (I’ve got grandfathered into the intro price of GeForce now, I’m not canceling it, I’ll have better Internet some day), but it’s better than browsing games at my blockbuster/warehouse/Hollywood video back in the day.

    YouTube premium. I’ve only listen to ads when I’ve first turned on a new phone, every time I do I count my money as well spent. Add in YouTube music (much better than Spotify imo) and I’m good for 95% of my media input.

    A hundred bucks a month on various content creators. Not listening to ads in my podcasts, not having to fast forward and rewind, and supporting the people who make my life happier, it’s a win win.


  • I used to worry that it was a losing strategy, because if I don’t block them then they will have unfettered access to the new people of the Internet. But then I started to think it doesn’t matter, I’d rather have my own mental health.

    Unfortunately lemmy is a lot less active when you ban afford Assholes, muck rakers, and people just looking for fights.










  • I think you’d be an unreliable ally at best and a coward towards anything that doesn’t effect you personally.

    If you were anything more than a voice on the Internet our relationship would be put to the wind.

    I would love to see your evidence of any non-violent society existing for any period of time. I don’t need to hack you limb from limb to stop violence, I also don’t believe violence has a single ignition point, and it’s obvious you do

    Kumbaya yourself under the Russian Pontoon bridge you crept from under you faithless troll.
