I hate to burst your bubble there, but actually it’s the exact opposite. Abraham hears what God is going to do to Sodom and Gomorrah (and that’s only because God chooses to tell him), and thinks to himself, “Oh shit, my cousin is there. I don’t want him to die.”
So Abraham starts out small. He says, “if I can find 50 good people, you won’t murderhobo everyone?” “Fine,” God replies. Now Abraham has something he can work with. He tries 45, God says cool. Abraham gets God to agree on 40, 30, 20, 10, each time God agrees. At 10, God up and leaves, and Abraham just chills there.
But of course, they can’t find even 10 in those cities. Oh well
Hell yeah, love me a fluffernutter. Haven’t had one in years.
My grandma, a high school English teacher, drilled that into my dad’s brain, who in turn drilled it into me. It works so well.

How dare you say Debian is the best distro! I use it on my work computer and it’s very stable (despite the fact that the flatpak of Ferdium mysteriously stopped working). Clearly the best distro is Manjaro, which I use on my gaming laptop.
God, I can hear this gif so well. One of my favorite songs/music videos.
That’s a fair point. The US empire expanded tremendously after all the war profiteering from WW2, which allowed for the evil that we see today.
I would argue that the British Empire and Belgium were pretty fucking evil long before the US came into existence.
Or it serves as a way to dissipate the smoke smell when breathing out. In my college days, we called it a “sploof.”
Not only am I Jewish too, I’m clergy. I’m very publicly Jewish. My wife thought I was nuts for some time when I told her we have to have an exit plan, but then realized we need it to be safe. I’m more worried about members of the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community than I am about us, but I know that the Nazis will come for us too.

I’m a Jewish professional (clergyman) and see how many people in my somewhat liberal congregation are rabid supporters of Israel. For them, this would just be another instance of antisemitism.

It’ll be a couple of years before I build a new desktop, but I’m already looking forward to using an AMD graphics card for the first time in over a decade.
Need…more…JPEG…
Before I watched the GIF, I was thinking “I bet this is in Turkey.” Pretty sure I’m right.

I can almost guarantee you that if it happened Greta would be labeled an agent of Hamas to justify murdering her.
