honestly idk why universities never offered a degree in "Reverse Psychology" because it seems to have worked for women for thousands of years.

can somebody please build a Nostr app which hosts audio notes? I would like to send an audio note to Vladimir Putin, since Trump will not allow me to participate in any diplomatic discussions.

for whatever reason, I'd made up my mind on the instinct that things were not as they seemed and only one knew the way forward for the things I care most about.

"diamonds are formed under pressure"

frankly, I'm glad it's settled 😊

if someone comes up with every excuse in the book to not want to be with you, they don't wanna be with you. onward.

within all of us is a giant crybaby who hates when their favorite toy gets taken away.

they attacked me so they must be defeated. it was not merely a slap in the face.

it has gotten to the point where the mockery is how I know I'm right.

PSA:

no disrespect to the evangelicals but it's nice not either being screamed at for three hours straight or talked to like we are in therapy. the music at Catholic mass is also fantastic. that's the way it should be. imo, evangelicals should have never rejected the pipe organ and operatic hymns in exchange for CCM pop songs that sound exactly the same; additionally, the evangelical aversion to regalia and iconography, ornate cathedrals and such, is strange to me. why are there international flags at church and not images of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and the disciples? obviously this is a choice – and to each their own – but evangelicals appear to be the IKEA demographic of Christians. the real problem is just how aggressively angry they get about the mere mentioning of the Virgin Mary at Catholic mass, or at any doctrinal disagreement they deem to be heretical. no, Catholics are not "worshipping" Mary, they are venerating her. she deserves to be venerated. this, imo, sets the right precedent for the veneration of motherhood, which the evangelicals sorely lack in their disrespect of her sacrifice in giving birth to our Lord and Savior and remaining by his side until his ascension. then again, this is the denomination that will fully reject their own children for any reason, including their conversion to Catholicism, which they see as "backsliding". yes, I do have a great appreciation for the rich histories of both Catholicism and the Orthodoxy, which predate evangelicalism by at least 1900 years. Christian history is awesome, actually.
