Jesus - the eternal light - shines down on us.
Installing solar panels is to open the window to jesus.
that’s hilarious
once in an onion (satirical news) video I responded to an idiotic trump supporter in the comments with something along these lines using Google translate:
“[English] Yes, MAGA 2024 he is our savior.
[Russian] See my brothers this one has already been fooled. Soon he will worship the Russian empire.”Didn’t get a reply, all my trolling for nothing 🥲
Based
Sorry bud, I’m not young enough to know what that means and I have too much pride to look it up.
Copied from an older comment of mine:
“Based” (corruption of base head - from someone who smokes base - street name for crack cocaine) was popular as an insult in rap / African American circles in the early 00s
Rapper Lil B got called it and decided on a whim to pretend the meaning was changed to mean something positive, started using it in this way, it caught on - mostly through the new York scene and its attendant twitter following
As all slang does in the last ~100-150 years, passed from black people to everyone.
Wow, what an unexpected turn of events! Thanks for the history lesson!
Huh. I thought it originated with “based in reality” or “based in fact” to refer to something that is inherently true.
Tough word to define. “Based” comes from black culture, if I recall correctly. To describe something as based means, essentially, “I see that you are strong in your convictions and I approve of your position”, implying perhaps that a person’s opinion is potentially controversial. It also could be, “You have strong views that align with my subculture.”
I’ve seen “based” used to describe a lot of things in the last ten years. Teenagers describing their desire to overthrow the capitalist system. Ecologists feeling that we should ban cars and return to driving buggies. Neonazis acknowledging another’s dogwhistle. Usually, people are based, not ideas themselves.
You think most social media is stupid and you think we should nuke the internet? That’s pretty based.
I think it means “I agree/support this”.
finally a form of weaponized christianity i can get behind.
Nope, definitely the gays. Did you know they collectively stole the rainbow from god? Scandalous.

Rumor has it that they hijacked hell and turned the first 3 circles into a nightclub, a B&B, and a spa
This is a smart strategy. “God” is telling them to quit being stupid.
Unfortunatly they replied by sharing 10 cooking videos from facebook 🫠
I know everyone here loves being edgy, but idolatry is forbidden, and Sodom and Gomorrah was about not following God’s word. (PS I am angry the homophobes have co-opted a story about Charity and Faith)
What about all the numerous catholic saints that are idolized af? They literally have idols of them all over churches and homes.
Yeah, that’s one thing I don’t get, and am unfamiliar with catholic dogma, so why is it okay for saints to be literally idolized by modern catholics? Or is it one of those “no true Scotsman” things…
I’m not Catholic, or religious at all, but I’ve had the same question. They don’t “idolize” the saints. To them praying to a saint or depicting them is more of a conduit to God. They see it the same as asking your neighbor to pray for you/a loved one. They believe saints are messengers delivering their prayers to God.
They pretend not to, but I grew up Catholic and I’ve known people who feel direct, holy connections to sts. Anthony or Jude. It’s one of the things that allowed Catholicism to be so effectively spread: people didn’t have to lose their old gods. Saint Brigid is just a revamp of the Celtic deity Brigid, for example.
Cropping is hard
Why would I crop it? I ain’t got nothing to hide!
To improve the quality of the image
But then it would be a lower resolution and have far fewer pixels.
I don’t think people got your /s 😂
That’s not sarcasm. That literally is what cropping is.
