Yep and I like to read the lyrics and any additional content or art that comes with the album while I listen to it. I also like that it forces me to not skip any songs, as when I stream stuff I tend to skip even some good songs in order to get to my favorites faster. The sound quality isn’t really the point for me with vinyl, it’s more about immersing myself with the album and enjoying it like a movie.

After yesterday, the sinkhole opened up and it’s a race to the bottom now. There can be no winners

Yeah, that will be my last reply to that person. Sometimes I can’t help but try to reintroduce some critical thinking back into these peoples’ brains. Unfortunately religious indoctrination since birth is a pretty thick brick wall to break through. It’s sad

Sounds like a lot of “requirements” and work to do for something that is supposed to be a gift according to you. He can keep his gift and all the strings he’s attached to it. I’ll just live a good life because I’m not a shit person. If that guarantees me eternal damnation because I don’t kiss the ring then I don’t think I would’ve had much fun by his side for eternity anyway. He sounds like a dick.

What happens if you break the 10 commandments and live a life of unrepentant sin? If it’s anything other than spending eternity in heaven with God then guess what…his blessing is conditional

So which is it? Is there “nothing you can do to earn God’s blessing. It’s a gift” or is it “I’d rather do something quick to earn God’s favor than commit daily to living a penitent Christian life”

Because if it’s really a gift, what’s all this effort you’re putting in to “earn God’s favor”?

I really don’t, it doesn’t make any sense at all, per my previous comment.

There’s literally a list of 10 commandments you have to follow or be cursed to hell forever. Also the unwritten 11th commandment “don’t be gay”

A lot of people are afraid Trump is going to win, and that’s motivating them to vote for Biden. The results you’re quoting support this.

I want Democrats to think Trump is going to win, otherwise they’ll stay home like they did in 2016.

Still waiting here - any advice? Who is your favorite American candidate?

It’s crazy to see the difference in tone CNN and other major new outlets have adopted when talking about Biden, vs. how they talk about Trump.

With Biden it’s “What a national embarrassment, no way this man can lead in his current state, voting for him is nearly elder abuse and you should be ashamed of yourself.”

With Trump it’s “jeez get a load of this guy lol. He’s just so silly with the things he says, who would take him seriously about the crazy stuff? Might be worth a vote?”

^ The comment of a person that has no real point to make.

You had every opportunity in this thread to actually point to 1 dictatorial or ultra conservative policy Joe has implemented, and by not providing even 1 example you’re having the opposite of the intended effect.

If you’re going to act like you know more than other people about something, it might be a good idea to have some real information on hand. Or, you could always just not say anything at all if you’re uniformed.

Lol, yes it’s very different. A dictator is not an unpopular person trying to win a democratic election, or refusing to step down from a position they were elected into and still have remaining time in their term. He’s being stubborn, not a dictator.

A dictator would be someone who doesn’t leave after losing an election, or who changes or removes the process of elections to remain in power. Among other things that Biden is absolutely not doing.

I’d love to know who you recommend I vote for!

Lol I made a joke , which I already explained to you once. The subject of the conversation was electing a millenial in this election (2024) and how that would be skipping Gen X. I then brought up the next election (2028), and implied we should elect a fictional Gen alpha character/meme (again, as a joke), because 2028 will be the first election that Gen alpha can vote in.

You’re weirdly proud of a ‘gotcha’ that didn’t really happen and even if it did, wouldn’t have been that good.

I cannot stress this enough, it was a joke and I won’t actually be voting for Skibidi Toilet in 2028.

Okay yes thank you congrats

I’m with this guy I think we should throw our hands up and never try to do anything difficult. Life is easier when you just give up, and it’s more fun when you can demoralize those around you as well!

And Gen Alpha began in 2010, so 2028 will be the first year they can vote

Skibidi Toilet 2028

The generation in between is the one that keeps electing geriatrics. They either didn’t want the job or they weren’t bold enough to kick their parents into the passenger seat. I say we skip them.
