I agree in general but I can’t think of anything in the OT that is taken from The Epic of Gilgamesh except the Noah’s Ark story, which is a clear rip-off. And the 5000 years ago is too long, I think the oldest books are from the 8th century BCE.
“I have no special regard for Satan; but I can at least claim that I have no prejudice against him. It may even be that I lean a little his way, on account of his not having a fair show. All religions issue bibles against him, and say the most injurious things about him, but we never hear his side.” - Mark Twain
You don’t have to look at Christians to think God isn’t so good.
In the Bible, Satan kills 10 people, Job’s children, and he did it with God’s blessing while they were having a bet.
God killed entire cities, all the firstborn of a nation even down to the slave’s children, killed everyone on earth except 8 people, killed a guy for picking up sticks, killed a guy for not allowing the ark of the covenant to fall, told the Hebrews to attack nations and kill every man woman and child in the land and was furious when they left a few alive, had a God-off to show he was more powerful and when the other side converted to believe in him he had them killed, killed David’s son and had his 10 wives publicly raped, killed 42 children for making fun of a bald guy… the list goes on, not to mention that God told the Hebrews to have slave’s, women were property and have to be killed if they ruin the one thing they were good for, their virginity.
Christians have weirdest relationship with the Bible. Many don’t really read it. If they did, they’d be Jewish. Jesus said to keep the Jewish laws, but Paul said it’s ok not to. Christians go with Paul instead of Jesus and generally disregard the Old Testament except the parts they think prove Jesus was the Messiah.
I should be more clear. I don’t mean I consume TV like most people but do it through my media server. I meant that I have the media server and if I get the rare feeling that I want to watch TV I will watch some old show I have on there.
I upgraded my system in 2023 and looking at my history since then, it shows me watching a few episodes of Letterkenny after the update. I actually spent several months before that “binging” it. That was an uncharacteristically lot of TV for me and I actually skipped over every scene with only the Skids in it. I couldn’t stand them
After that, I’ve watched 5 episodes of The Super Dave Osborne Show which came out in the 80s, 3 episodes of Kim’s Convenience 5 episodes of Peep Show and 12 episodes of the comedy Children’s Hospital.
Without commercials those are 22 minutes each, except Children’s Hospital which are 11 minutes, or two episodes in 22/30 minutes. So 19x22 minutes= 418, or 7 hours in two years. I average watching 17.5 minutes of old TV shows per month.
I consider that not watching TV. I don’t keep up with new shows. I don’t finish a show and start looking for a new one to watch. But if I got really interested in a new TV show I’d watch the hell out of it then go back to not really watching anything.
I don’t watch TV. I actually can’t. I haven’t had cable or an antenna to receive anything since I bought my house in 2011.
I have a media server with movies and TV shows. If I really want to watch something I’ll watch one of those. I do like movies but only watch them if they interest me and that’s getting a lot rarer these days.
I don’t play video games at all or have any game consoles.
I don’t know if it’s underrated, I don’t actually know anything about Adult Swim, but Childrens Hospital was hilarious
Yeah that’s the guy! I assume she already has, judging by the words that came out of her mouth. No need to check, I trust she made sure that guy faced justice.

“There is one tier of justice for all Americans,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement after Bolton was charged. “Anyone who abuses a position of power and jeopardizes our national security will be held accountable. No one is above the law."
I remember a similar case a while back where a guy had boxes and boxes of classified documents in his bathroom. I never heard what happened to him.
You night be thinking of the Streisand effect, which is a little different, but very similar
Like two weeks ago, a leaked report said they were going to blame Tylenol. Guess Tylenol bought him a gold statue or something
There are people who think urine is healthy and, I guess, drink it or something. I used to have a screenshot of a Facebook post where someone asked their fellow urine lovers if they ever put it in a humidifier and there were a lot of replies about how to best do it
I’m not sure if you’re aware but when it became apparent that a big event was happening on the morning of Sept 11, the hospitals braced for mass casualties and… waited… and waited… and they never came.
There were only 20 people pulled from the rubble. Six were firefighters, and 5 were police.
Nurses get a lot of well deserved praise. It’s just that in this case there wasn’t an uptick in emergency medical needs.
I get up earlier on weekends than weekdays. I try to get up at 6am but I often get up to pee at 4am and just stay up. I do a bunch of things and it feels like I’ve had a good day then I realize it’s only like 10am and I still have a whole day ahead of me.
One man’s “leave a shit” is another man’s “take a treasure”
That’s what I was thinking. Either that or the coke was a false positive.
Do they make cocaine in pill form?
The guy who made the decision was fired from Space Force for doing right wing podcasts, wrote a book about Marxism in the military and asked Trump to root out “monsters” in the military who support diversity. He’s anti-vax, pro Jan 6, basically his brain is completely given over to any right wing racist concept or conspiracy theory you can think of.
“We define God as that which is most important to us. So when we take the ass n titties heirarchy in light of the metaphysical substrate, titties is God”
“And just to show how important you two are, for today only I’m going to offer you a buy two get one free deal”
That was in 2014. They’ve since changed it to Louvre1
