        That Ford in the background is ~2004 model, so that sets an earlier bound on the time of photo

          You know, if I were in the business of making predictions about when Jesus is coming back, I’d want the cheapest stickers I could find. That way, when I’m wrong, at least there won’t be physical evidence hanging around for 30 years.

          Hell, paper and tape would have been the right call.

            How about if you thought of the money scheme predicted it 8 years earlier and wanted the grift stickers to last that long?

    The reason sticker these day doesn’t last and enshitification of everything happened is because Jesus came and took all the good people and left.

      I’ve been playing something up lately. See, I didn’t know of that interview where Donald Trump said he has never asked god for forgiveness. I somehow only seen it recently.

      So, I told some folks that a man came and asked me, “Would you trust a man who said he never once asked god for forgiveness, that he doesn’t think in those terms?” and he wanted me to think on it, and he’d return and tell me why he asked me. I told them it was an odd question, and when he returned to tell me why he asked I’d share it with them.

      They all answered with something along the lines of, “no! Who could live on this world and never ask for forgiveness? Can’t be a good person.”

      Do you think they took off their Trump hats?

      Have you ever sat down and talked to a Trumper about politics? I don’t mean dismissing everything they say and calling them stupid, I mean actually listened and asked them questions? I just did that a couple days ago and it was a real wakeup call for me. Holy fucking shit was that person crazy! It’s not like a couple of differences of opinion. It’s a thousand different topics that they’re completely detached from reality on. Literally every single thing this person said was bat shit crazy, far-right propaganda, engineered to make them impossible to reason with. I ended up just wishing them a nice day and moving on with my life, deciding never to speak to them again. I do not see how we can ever get these people back to normalcy. It’s insane, man… and sad.

        Oh yes. One person started by calling Biden a puppet, which - in a sense of being beholden to corps etc I could kinda see - but then they went off about him being an actual (animatronic, robotic) puppet controlled by Bill Gates and i kinda exited that convo as fast as I could…

          Haha. It’s … Well idk what the fuck it is. These people are beyond help. Are they all trolling? Is 35% of the population of the United States all-in on one big trolling game? It’s so preposterous that I don’t see how they can be serious.

      I was either sitting at home watching my TV, or participating in some anarchy.

      The 90s were a sublime time, weren’t they?

    I like to tell them “The rapture already happened in 1988. The only person worthy was an elderly grandmother living in New Jersey, nobody else noticed.”

    It’s almost as if they don’t read their own Jesus’ words. Matthew claims he said no man knows the hour or day. I’m not getting into what Isaac Newton thought about it

      Please do! I know a lot about the Bible and Christianity, but I’ve never heard of any Newton association.

        It’s wild, but he tried to calculate the tune of the second coming. There’s quite a bit available on YT about it.

    I was a young kid at that time. Not even in kindergarten yet. I basically lived the life of a house cat. Did any of our lives get better after that?😂

    Perhaps he really is here. If so, he’d be 32 years old by now. Twas around that age he got axed the last time, allegedly. Thor knows I could go for a good crucifixion right now!

      The Bible says that the second coming will be announced with loud trumpets, and the skies will roll back, and he will descend from heaven. It says that it’ll be unmistakable that he’s returned and every person on earth will know about it. He’s not coming back as a baby.

    Silly prophets of doom, how could they get the date so wrong? Everybody knows the world won’t end until February 31st.
