It's God's will?
  • It was definitely one of the best sci-fi series I've ever watched. But some of the dialogue and the banter between some of the people was kind of, I don't know, maybe not cheesy but cute? Amusing? Wouldn't mind watching it again. The '90s were a long time ago.

    An answer to my prayers?
  • Yeah I don't get it. My mom calls up her prayer warriors and starts praying for things. And yet God is omniscient and all seeing why do you have to pray? And when something good happens, is a prayer answered from God. If something bad happens then it's just the will of God. And humans can't understand the mind of God. It's like a big circle jerk.

  • Recently we had one of the largest fires in California history called the Park Fire.

    The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said Wednesday morning that 277 structures have been destroyed by the fire and 29 structures have been damaged.

    On the TV they interviewed a man whose house survived. He said, "I thank god my house was spared".

    So, let me get this straight. God destroyed 277 homes but saved yours? If that's god's will then god is an asshole.

  • That reminds me of a conversation I had with a preacher. I asked, if god is a loving god why does the Bible say to fear him? His answer? Fear means love.

    Turn the gaslight off already!

  • My mom has a list of prayers that she claims were answered by God. As I look at that list I noticed that I did most of those things. When I mention that she says, God works through people. If I have to do all the work what do I need God for?

    Being downvoted on reddit sucks man.
  • It's all in your perspective. I was quite proud one day when I got 36 down votes. So I managed to piss off 36 people. Made my day.

  • Where I live it rarely gets down to 32 degrees. I bought a bag that said 20 degrees. After reading the manual it said that was the extreme rating. Will this bag keep me warm at 32 degrees or not?

    I've tried several types of artificial intelligence including Gemini, Microsoft co-pilot, chat GPT. A lot of the times I ask them questions and they get everything wrong. If artificial intelligence doesn't work why are they trying to make us all use it?

    Someone said I keep replying to myself. I often long press the comment and tap reply or tap the comment and tap reply. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    Edit to clarify. When I get a message in my inbox, I long press on the blue highlight and tap reply. Is that what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm sitting here on the holy sabbath reading atheist memes while my mother watches sermons.

    My mom and her prayer warriors have been praying to get my car fixed quickly. My car has been in the shop for a month. Apparently the omniscient omnipresent God of the universe can't fix a car.

    I tried switching to Gemini on my Samsung phone. Then I found out the Gemini can't open apps on my Android phone. This is kind of a deal breaker because it doesn't actually replace assistant. And it looks like Google is about to replace assistant with Gemini since it laid off most of his assistant workers. I don't see how this helps.

    Even on Android it seems like every game they put out these days is a gotcha MMORPG. I don't really like playing with other people because they keep telling me how bad I am at the game. It's just a game. So I was wondering if there was a good Android RPG that doesn't have any social or gotcha parts of it.

    In some studies, at the end of them, I see:

    "quitting smoking reduces your chance of dying from all causes."

    So if I quit smoking I'm less likely to get hit by a bus?

    I'm not sure if I can post here. Lemmy seems kind of complicated. For instance, I tried to post something and it said I can't because I'm on a local instance. So how do I find out what instance a community is on and how do I make it so I can post?

    An example: I went to https://join-lemmy.org/instances and searched for nostupidqestions and nothing was found.
