No but I would talk about Santa despite not believing him.

This whole debate is stupid though… I used a very common phrase because it’s a common phrase that people use. That’s pretty much it. I’m done replying.

I watched it more recently and a thought it was really good foreshadowing.

Spoilered for those that don’t know discovery.

My question is about what people who actively use that phrase would be upset about. Someone who says the lords name would be upset about “the lords name” specifically.

There’s a difference between being upset about some guy talking to some girl and being upset that your best friend John is flirting with your wife. The specific labels happen to matter even if they aren’t the terms I would use in any other circumstances.

See, I’m not sure about the cutoff point… I’ve heard stories of people getting upset over “God this is so good” after taking a bit of a good meal.

Like I said, I’m not religious so idk all of the context here… I’m just curious why I’ve never seen any complaints about it at all. Not saying more should be upset, just curious.

My fiancé was raised extremely religious and managed to escape that life. The childhood teaching and consequences of said upbringing are always prevalent for us.

As for everyone else… The religious far-right has been growing rapidly across the entire globe so I imagine that has at least a part in it.

TGIF stands for Thank God it’s Friday according their own FAQ:

It’s a common thing religious people say “taking the Lords name in vain”. This is the thing people would call a sin. It wouldn’t be the same if phrased differently.

One time I had a dream that I was purposely misgendered and then spent like 4 hours just repeatedly beating the person.

It’s the only violent dream I can ever remember having so idk where it came from

Go ahead and post! Sometimes Lemmy can be weird about the “subscribe” feature when subscribing between instances. You’re already subscribed as soon as you hit the button, it just isn’t showing correctly.

It’s basically casual tuesday always but also a general focus on stuff that doesn’t really matter.

I was thinking about it as a place to discuss things that everyone will forget about the day after while creating it.

Would it be possible for someone to give me a TLDR of the background of this? The other comments make the drama sound so interesting and I want to learn the backstory.

It’s a super generic “creature from beloved franchise transports magically to the real world” movie. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all tbh (the only exception being Barbie probably).

People be like: God is good

Meanwhile God: makes you think about the smurfs movies

Clearly this means that you have to take up the mantle as the trans developer

What about the 17 innocent civilians that died during this bombing?

You know… The war crime part

Town halls are a good thing for both parties.

It lets the people talk directly to the person they elected and discuss their feelings and so on. It’s also good for the elected officials because it gets them directly in front of their voting base and allows them to campaign in person at all times directly to the people most likely to vote for free.

The reason these are all disastrous is because Republicans don’t actually care about listening to what the people want and are just skipping to the campaigning part…

Also worth noting that not holding town halls is a strategy already suggested by the republican parties higher ups and so far it’s just led to town halls hosted by democrats instead that are more than willing to tell the most vocal voters why their Republican government has failed them.

This is why I make sure that nothing I code functions in any way at all
