easy π-sy

The current run of Ultimate X-Men is the only American comic series my wife and daughter are interested in reading, and it’s by Peach—so it’s not really an exception to what you said: www.marvel.com/comics/serie...

It’s so old and common that we see God in the Old Testament needing to correct it in his own prophet (Jonah 3:10-4:5,10-11).

“And should I not pity Nineveh?”

“…like replacing sugar with salt in a Coke recipe” — my mom did this once when making a cake as a child. From all accounts it was certainly memorable

I really appreciate you describing it in this way. For the past few years I’ve been trying to reorient away from that mindset to something more mature, and I keep bumping up against people who act as if “anything less than 110% is the same as 0%.” You framed it here better than I’ve been able to. 🙂

I picked up a copy of “Moral Man” years ago and only read the first few chapters. (Prior to that, my only exposure to Niebuhr was his Serenity Prayer.)

I was really chewing on what I read there, just got distracted with other things. I gotta go back and finish it. Thank you both for reminding me!

When I first saw progress bars on ads (maybe it was a YouTube sponsor segment?) I thought it was an ingenious Accessibility feature.

It’s saddening to see something like that be warped like this into just another advertising mind game. 🥺

I’m glad you spoke up because the answers you got helped me to understand it better, too!

Everybody say: “stomp!”

chuckling over the implication that VeggieTales is the artist, and Phil & Mike the art 🤣

Almost reads as if this was how you found out about it 🤣

Congratulations!

now I’m imagining Buddy the Elf teaching himself to be a dentist instead of looking for his parents in New York 🤣

(my wife never noticed this until tonight, as we were watching Rudolph over dinner)
