A lot of Christians on the internet have forgotten they too were forgiven.
Mark 10:18: No one is good except God alone.

@farmingandJesus I voted yes, not because I watch it but because I was addicted to it. And I can always struggle with it being there. Even now 10 years later I know I’m one weak moment away or one bad decision from it wrecking me.
Thank God I don’t have to rely on my strength but His.

@anahnemoo @AshleySheatz I was trying to think of the best way to put this, but this might work best.
To many of these br0s are also porn addicted and have the same need for Christ but judge the woman. They are the same men from Chapter 8 of John’s gospel.
English
I fear most of the br0s who are hating on @AshleySheatz's redmptive story are doing so because they have no redemptive story of their own.

@bullseye_qwerty Agreed, Mystique has some of the best variants in the game
English
The new Mystique variant from Team Clash is great, but it has so much competition from her other amazing variants.

@DarrylHami33424 @JohnCrumplerMD That isn’t the original route. CJ rolling out is in response to the blitz and looking for a hot option, which Nico becomes by come back. This is the trust that the both have, so CJ can get the ball to Nico, while having to throw across his body while on the run.
English
@JohnCrumplerMD That video along doesn’t show positive.
The receiver had to stop to catch the ball. Because it wasn’t a good pass.
He can’t hit the receiver in stride consistently. Not positive

Every offensive coach in the league without an established starter at quarterback would kill to coach a passer with C.J. Stroud's skillset.
He's a positive in every column that you need in the modern game - Just have to help him get out of his own way in 2026 #HTownMade

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

@Ag3ntDa1to Nope not going to be sad! Dude balled and we won 2 trophies! I wish he had more moments, but I’m happy for the ones we have and the ones for this year! When he retires, hang his number and bury him in the H like he wants!

Yeah I was having a pretty good day now I'm just sitting here staring at the wall 😭

Lance McCullers Jr. today here at #Astros spring training: "I would love to be good, not because I want to necessarily continue to play, but just because I would love to be good for this organization, this fan base in my last year here." @KHOU

@HMBohemond There is also something that never tracked with me. We loved the prequels. The lines, the community it created. The sure joy it was to go to all three. I never felt like we hated them until later. (I’ve never thought they were bad) further, they felt like they belonged.
English
The issue here is it's that it's not the Prequels being made to look good "in comparison." It's that the Sequels shocked a large portion of the Star Wars fandom out of a collective hysteria that convinced them the Prequels were bad. A proverbial slap across the face to bring them to their senses.
What you have are three good but flawed films histrionically flandarized by amateur and professional critics who honestly shouldn't be in that field into the worst things committed to celluloid. Their opinions reinforced by people seeking upvotes and the related dopamine rush. Years of compounded circlejerking about it leading to a lot of people still set in their views, unwilling to accept opinions to the contrary.
Prequel hate was pure Reddit. Pushed by Reddit film criticism darlings, gargled and swallowed by Reddit, and held up by Reddit's popularity during those dark ages before it lost relevance as a platform. Reddit's hate then leaked elsewhere, even if vehemently anti-Reddit sites like 4chan would never want to admit it.
Seeing actually bad Star Wars films, the Sequels, made many realize they were wrong.
The Prequels were always good. The conditioning was just broken.

In 2015, shortly after spending $4.5B to acquire LucasFilm, Disney invested several tens of millions more into brand awareness and rehabilitation. Coincidentally, at the same time, thousands of articles, videos, video essays, and meme pages appeared all at once with a single thesis: The Prequels were actually misunderstood masterpieces. I mean it genuinely as just a statement of historical fact, that the only reason the Prequels are even spoken about today is this marketing agenda from Disney. And this turned out to be even better for Disney than they ever could've hoped, because this rehabilitation of the Prequels basically pulled a retroactive Empire Strikes Back Effect. Let me explain a little... I have long been of the opinion that Empire was the fulcrum of Star Wars—if it had not been the greatest sequel ever produced, Star Wars would have been an 80s fad that would have faded from most of memory by now. Maybe as big as Back to the Future is today; which isn't much. If not for Disney's rehabilitation of the Prequels, the Disney Sequels would have had the same effect on Star Wars that Season 8 had on Game of Thrones: killing all conversation of it overnight. The Disney Sequels were so bad that they made the Prequels look good in comparison. Combined with their 2015 marketing plan and the fact Gen Z and Gen A have been starved of quality film their entire lives, the Prequels now have a genuinely loving fanbase.

@mightydudbolt Further, we broke box office records with the Prequels. We stood in line for hours to get tickets, to wait to be let in the theater. We dressed up, and still today people are connect for more to the Prequels. They were fantastic movies that felt like the same epic tale we had.
English
@mightydudbolt Thank You! I’m tired of revisionist history. Qui-Gon was a great character who added depth and compassion the the role of Jedi Master. Ewan’s Obi shows real growth from hot head Padawan to Wise Jedi Master.
We didn’t hate these films when they came out until later.
English
I guess if you can't stand Hayden Christensen it's a dealbreaker, but the prequels are actually stuffed with charismatic, memorable performances. If you actually go down the list, I'm not even sure that's a particularly hot take, so it's weird they have such a lopsided reputation.
English
Because of the history these two men have. They are brothers, mentor and student, chosen One and his guide.
And they are fighting to the death. That’s Anakin’s last fight before becoming Darth Vader. This isn’t a have trained Luke and a cyborg.
English
All I see are people acting like they have some special cinematic vision and truly don’t know anything.
This is the best choreographed fight scene in Star Wars. Two highly trained men who know each other very well. There is an emotion that can only come in this fight

I genuinely can’t understand how the previous generation saw this in 2005 and said “this sucks”
English
@HMBohemond I love that every single person replying is proving your point. I remember the lines to watch them, I remember the number of times my friends and I saw it in theaters. The message boards and fan forums loved them. They were massive hits and people loved them until…said critics.
English
Mass hysteria. That's why.
The Prequels weren't hated until a combination of pretentious Youtube wannabe critics, people who enjoy that kind of slop review without critical thought, and Reddit all combined to lower IQs and create a generation of people too dumb to actually understand or criticize media properly.
The Prequel Trilogy was always good. Any opinion stating they're bad films is purely contrarian Reddit.

The Silmarillion isn’t the same type of story. Going into it after reading the trilogy is hard. Once you remember that this world of middle earth is like our world, so The Silmarillion is more like the Old Testament or a work of Ancient Greek text. It makes it easier.
