Thank you God for inventing canines, and thank you random caveman for domesticating them. Dogs truly are the best at moral support.

Alternative: they are pushing for AI in white collar fields because they realize that if they can automate every job (white collar and blue collar alike) they don't have to pay anyone and can keep the profits for themselves. It is in their best interests to create a society in which the common man and common woman have no place. They want to render humanity itself obsolete in the name of profit.

we may be approaching a day in history where the only ones who have jobs are politicians and the heads of corporations, and everyone else is stuck on welfare or starving on the streets.

tinfoil time

I think the US government and tech companies (as well as the media) are working together to push AI in white collar fields to drive out actual workers so that men will be more willing to do backbreaking blue collar labor and women will quit the workforce and have more babies

they praise both so they can continue to get away with policies that harm both.

it is good to acknowledge the worth of salt of the earth workers and mothers but also you should be suspicious when the government, megacorps, and media orgs start moaning that we can't survive as a society without either... they say, from their ivory towers, where they praise you and in the same breath disdain you

People who do not care about learning history are missing part of their soul, as they do not cultivate the desire to preserve knowledge. They have resigned part of their existence to that of a common animal.

The concept of information being lost is one which directly wounds the collective human endeavor.

In general,

left-wing narratives should be suspected as histrionic;

right-wing narratives should be suspected as gaslighting.

Ah. understood.

I wish I wish there were more first person shooters not set during World War II or in the Middle East

O Jesus, Eternal Truth, Our Life. I call upon You and I beg You the conversion of all sinners. O Most Sacred Heart, Fountain of Mercy, envelope all of those who steal consecrated hosts and those that desecrate You, Body of Christ and Blood of Christ, all over this country and the whole world. Break the stone hearts which hide away from Your love and immerse them in the ocean of Your mercy. I bring to You all the sinners at Your feet that support, sponsor, and aide in the ways of darkness. Shine the light of Your Truth into the souls, even those on the brink of hell, because no darkness is too dark for You, oh God. Help us to pray for their conversion and repentance, as You model for us forgiveness. Deliver them from any demonic influences and cast the demons out of them. Amen.

Two verses come to mind:

Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

Matthew 5:11-12

and

[...] Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. [...]

Luke 23:34

I like to think of it this way:

"I hope he dies": negative, destructive, short-sighted

"I hope he repents": positive, constructive, may result in positive change.

I hope he *remembers I do not wish harm upon others* is visited by a disembodied hand sent by God to write on his wall to tell him that his days are numbered, he has been weighed on the scale and found wanting, and that his kingdoms will be divided, and I hope that he is scared half to death by it.

How about Halo, Titanfall, Halflife, Portal, TF2, System Shock, Bioshock, Republic Commando, and Doom?

I wish I wish there were more first person shooters not set during World War II or in the Middle East

I think one of the better depictions of a Catholic character is Giovanni Zatara from Young Justice of all things. He essentially sacrificed himself (specifically his freedom) to save his daughter from being possessed by Doctor Fate forever, and it is revealed in season 4 that it was his faith that sustained him through all of those years of being trapped in his own head. His character really demonstrates the self-sacrificing love (Agape) and perseverance in the face of suffering that is so essential to the Catholic outlook on life.

a lot of people on tumblr and Ao3 seem to think Christianity (mainly Catholicism) is just a cool and sexy esthetic narrative force to make your characters guilty and repressed and I'm just like...

hey what about the grace? the grace of God? the grace God gave specifically so we wouldn't need to be guilty and repressed? God's grace? that grace? do they have that grace?
