Why make it a grift? Start reaching out to them to check in after each rapture prediction, and you can get word-of-mouth business!

Hah, I meant why couldn’t the person who committed suicide ask for forgiveness at the pearly gates! What’s so special about being redeemed before death, instead of after?

I never understood why you couldn’t ask posthumously

I mean, it does need to happen.

It’s just part of a long list of other things that also need to happen

I’m sorry. I’m not Peter Parker.

I’d be surprised if a significant number of them worked.

But that “any” carries a lot of baggage.

I’m still trying to decide how much is that, and how much they just like outraging. Gets the blood pumping, y’know.

They just don’t expect to be allowed through. If they are, great! Then they’d do this again with an even bigger flotilla, and keep helping people as long as they’re allowed to.

However, what they expect to happen is that they’ll be stopped. So they’re making sure they’re positioned to take full advantage of that, too.

He wishes he was as cool as Scar!

Let us know how it goes!

I was thinking, what else can we rainbow up while they’re all looking at crosswalks?

It’s discussed elsewhere here, but to answer directly - as I understand it, cancer cells can only use energy from sugars. Cancer cells are also extremely energy hungry, since they spend so much energy growing. When a cell absorbs these particular sugars, it self-destructs in spectacular fashion.

It sounds like they’re expecting cancer cells to absorb the vast majority of these sugars, leaving just a small amount for healthy cells. Which sounds to me like a kind of chemotherapy, but more effective and with weaker side effects.

(Not a biologist, most of this is over my head!)

It seems like, if they’re publicly denying responsibility, Steam and Itch now have legal cover to restore everything.

I’m not a lawyer, etc. etc., but don’t public statements from these kinds of entities inform how these clauses can be enforced?

Which sounds to me like Steam and Itch could restore everything. Unless MC/Visa wants to publicly say they can’t?

That’s not censorship. That’s just social consequences.

Eh, or he decided to use his unique situation to illuminate how bonkers the situation has gotten.

Believing doesn’t make a thing real.

But you can get a hell of a lot done because you believe in something.

Choose what you believe in carefully, but you really should choose.

The police running into the crowd are violent, certainly; as is the white mob. The response to a movement being violent doesn’t make the movement violent, any more than getting mugged makes the victim violent.

I understood US Civil Rights movement to be peaceful, as in the people in the movement did not instigate violence. Calling a protest violent because those in power struck back violently seems nonsensical to me.

Think I missed something - what’s the thing with orcas and billionaires?
