The Gospel in a watchable format. Please friends, brothers & sisters in Christ Jesus alike, remember that Jesus loves you so much, He died for you & He wants a father/son lord/servant relationship with His beloved creation. For those lost, come home 💛🖤 youtu.be/qEBJCxhf_Ww

@BlackkNready @SheDatWeDat So you're just going to ignore the fact that Catholicism has arguably had more influence on Protestantism than Martin Luther himself?..

@SheDatWeDat Catholic is not Christian tbh.

This is so accurate. I’ve been to two catholic mass funerals and I was tired afterwards 😭😭😭😭

@PaulAnleitner Both are highly respectable and intelligent people. For instance, I agree with Neil's stance on how it's stupid to use BCE and CE, and I agree with Victor on the fact that God exists, and that Jesus Christ is one person in the Holy Trinity.

The notion that loving science makes you an atheist or agnostic has always been absurd. The difference between these two men isn't a love for science or the stars. It is the meaning they interpret as they look at the stars. What something "means" goes deeper than science.

lots of love here

@secularprolife As a Christian, y'all give me a sense of hope. Hope y'all do end up following Christ one day.

@geekyjenise Keep going forward! Hebrews 12:1 (KJV) Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us , and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

I’m having a hard day. I’m very frustrated and dealing with mean people doesn’t help. Please give me words of encouragement in the Lord?

I wanna share a beautiful image God gifted me. This, this is pretty. (Yes, it's modded with shaders, yes, the reefbacks are naturally in that formation.

@LadyLaurk @NevEngi Maybe.

@DaPixlatedDude @NevEngi Maybe you should try it out to see for yourself?

@Shayotita Did you know that Jefferey Epstein's plane was nicknamed Lolita because of the rumors of his ring? Also, if I may ask, why do you dislike Chibi?

Online, predators began using “loli” and related terms as coded slang to evade safety filters and exchange illegal material. Many countries now classify lolicon as CSAM regardless of whether the characters are fictional. By framing real-world exploitation as a fictional “hobby,” predators attempted to avoid criminal accountability. It’s now a deeply polarized term that many avoid entirely due to its ties to the sexualization of minors and the high-profile criminal cases of the late 80s. And all of this traces back to one book — which I’m almost certain was never the intention. Nabokov was trying to expose how predators think, act and how dangerous they are. The West twisted that into misinterpretation (from the movie Lolita to the association of PDF Files), and what was once an innocent Spanish name/nickname, a harmless fashion movement, and a cute aesthetic became something deeply dark. In Hispanic and Latino culture, Lolita is still used as a normal name/nickname — though today it would likely invite heavy judgment. The name itself is beautiful. It’s a traditional Spanish diminutive meaning “little Lola,” derived from Dolores, referencing the Virgin Mary’s title Nuestra Señora de los Dolores — Our Lady of Sorrows. It carries deep affection and religious significance. That meaning was essentially robbed from an entire culture. This absolutely falls under cultural erasure, which is a byproduct of colonization and cultural imperialism if you want to get technical about it. Not to sound woke”, but an outside force attaches a new meaning to something that already belonged to another culture, that meaning overtakes the original, and the people it actually belonged to are left either abandoning it or constantly defending themselves against connotations they had nothing to do with. Hispanic and Latino people didn’t write that book. They didn’t create lolicon. Yet they’re the ones who lost a beautiful, culturally and religiously significant name because of what other people did with it. Names carry identity, heritage, faith, and family — that’s not a small loss. And the fact that most people don’t even know the name has Hispanic roots makes it worse. The erasure is so complete the original meaning has become almost invisible. So with all of that said — context and intention matter. If I see someone casually throwing the term around, my first instinct is to assess the context and intent behind it. And if I see someone using it as an accusation, I’m equally skeptical — because the majority of the time, the person being accused is simply someone attracted to petite adult women who looks cute, which is not a crime. Anyone who says it is a crime are delulu and need to touch grass. This is a genuinely complex topic that requires careful thought, research, critical thinking and sensitivity. Should you use the term today as a name for your child or the term for yourself if you’re a petite adult woman? You can if the context and intent are innocent and rooted in the original meaning — but be prepared to spend more time explaining yourself than simply enjoying the word and original meaning behind it . If you want to avoid the unnecessary drama entirely, alternatives like “moe,” “petite,” “pixie,” or “kawaii” work just fine. You can’t control how other people interpret a word with 70 years of "bad history.”, but it’s better to be safe and sorry. Sorry for the long post — it’s a fascinating topic and I wanted to do it justice. Thank you for reading, and God bless. 🙏🏼

⚠️Long, controversial, post⚠️ (1/2 🧵) So I’ve been doing some research on the term “Loli” since I’m old and have seen the word thrown around every now and then without fully understanding it. A few people have told me it came from a bad place, which made me wonder — if that’s the case, why are people, including some pretty questionable figures (like Chibi Reviews whom I heavily dislike for multiple reasons), actively fighting for the term and using it constantly? I’m naturally curious and love learning, so I did some digging. Here’s what I found. The name “Loli” is derived from “Lolita,” which is actually a Spanish nickname for Dolores or Charlotte — a term of affection used by family and friends. The nickname was then popularized in the West through Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita — which I do not recommend if you’re sensitive to dark and disturbing themes. Because of that book, the name Lolita shifted from a standard affectionate nickname to a term synonymous with the sexualization of young girls. At some point after, Japan adopted the term “Lolita” — not because of any Western cultural baggage attached to it, but because the word sounded “poetic,” “aesthetic,” “feminine,” and “cute” to them. From that came Lolita Fashion — a female-driven movement rooted in elegance, modesty, and girlhood that emerged in the 1970s and 80s in Harajuku. It was largely a reaction against traditional Japanese gender roles and the hyper-sexualized looks pushed by Western media, as well as the gritty, hyper-masculine gekiga art style of the 1960s. Artists began drawing softer, rounder, and “cuter” female characters as an aesthetic preference for cuteness — what’s called “moe.” The “Golden Age of Idols” in the 1980s further cemented youthful, schoolgirl aesthetics as mainstream in Japanese media. Linguists and historians note that Japanese subcultures frequently adopt Western words purely for how they sound rather than their original meaning. “Lolita” sounded sophisticated and European, so it was borrowed as a shorthand for “petite and cute” without any of the Western literary baggage attached. However, alongside all of this, the term also became a loophole in Japanese media for a darker reason. For decades, Japanese law strictly prohibited the depiction of pubic hair in erotic works. To avoid legal trouble, some erotic manga artists began drawing prepubescent characters specifically because they naturally lacked the traits that would trigger the ban. This forced intersection between censorship evasion and childlike character design is a significant reason the term became sexualized over time. That dark shift was further cemented by a few key events: The Miyazaki Murders (1988–1989): The arrest of serial killer Tsutomu Miyazaki, who possessed a large collection of “lolicon” media, triggered a massive moral panic in Japan and permanently linked the term to violent real-world crime in the public consciousness. Western Collision: As anime grew globally, the West applied its strict literary definition — rooted in the Nabokov novel — to the Japanese aesthetic. What Japan viewed as a visual design archetype and a form of artistic expression, the West interpreted as child sexualization, and that clash is what created the intense and ongoing controversy we see today.

@LadyLaurk @NevEngi My mind wandered 3 times while reading this. I dunno if it's good advice but I second this

Hi! I am a Christian with ADHD, and a hard time remembering things myself. I think one of the easiest things a person can do, even if they struggle with memory, is just reading the Bible everyday in sections. For instance, if you want to read about the Garden of Eden, then I would suggest just reading the passages that are specifically speaking on it, read a devotional about it and maybe, if you have time or want to learn more, you can look up the original Greek and Hebrew word for word translation for it using a website/resource called: Blue Letter Bible. I use that site to study the Bible in depth, I find it really helpful. But if you want to start reading the Bible, even just to see about Christianity, I would say don't be discouraged or beat yourself up about it. I know looking at it could be overwhelming, but you can just take it in sections. You got this! 🥳🫡❤️

@therealunknwn @Ghostrider05NWI @thescottbarber Do you know how far out they are and how small they ACTUALLY are? Multiple people have told you why it's difficult to even capture one, let alone why they look like little bugs on a piece of glass. Stop being willfully ignorant, my friend.

@DaPixlatedDude @Ghostrider05NWI @thescottbarber Tens of thousands others meant to be out there. All you need to do is send me an updated photo of a satellite like that of which I have been sent showing Starlink.

They write this for the same reason people deny the moon landings and think the Earth is flat.

@therealunknwn @Ghostrider05NWI @thescottbarber 2 things 1. Starlink is a brand they launch satellites 2. The ISS is a satellite.

@DaPixlatedDude @Ghostrider05NWI @thescottbarber Explains how Starlinks are visble and not any of the tens of thousands others that are meant to be out there… All you need to do is send me an updated photo of a satellite, like that of which I have been sent showing Starlink.

@Ghostrider05NWI @therealunknwn @thescottbarber Thank you.

@therealunknwn @DaPixlatedDude @thescottbarber Lower comms satellites like Starlink are about 300 miles up, but are also only the size of a conference table.

@AudieAbelOkUSA @NoahMeier1470 @DistressDark ?

@NoahMeier1470 @DaPixlatedDude @DistressDark Yeh, we sometimes try to lead ourselves to believe that God must be a trickster. Because the alternative would mean that we've just tricked ourselves into believing false human claims about a god. Only thing is, that if God is a trickster, then that means he's a deceiver, too.😬

@Escapation @pepsi Legendary.

@pepsi imagine still waiting on your Harrier Fighter Jet

@goddek There's a saying I like to interpret that states, "every rule is written in blood," as "Every stupid rule has a bloody and even stupider background."

Why would they write something so obvious like this on pizza boxes in the United States?

@_tallly @wtfahhh0 @astro_reid @NASA @NASAArtemis Which Bible verse tells you the earth is flat?..

@DaPixlatedDude @wtfahhh0 @astro_reid @NASA @NASAArtemis Idk not in the Bible

There are no words.
