In a flash I was sent back, to the moment where it all began, psychically traveling to a gloomy Saturday afternoon in 1988.
I was sitting on the orange velvet couch watching “Catteries Not Included,” when suddenly, an arousingly confident Gadget Hackwrench appeared and asked for my help fixing the ever-beleaguered Screaming Eagle. I don’t know, I acquiesced. And as I handed her the hog ring pliers, her fuzzy digits grazed mine, and in that moment, truly, I was wooooke.

You’re welcome! I had to stare at it for a half minute before I could even look it up, because all I could see was a fork for goblins.

Thanks a lot, woke.

Right, and likelihood of a negative outcome is the limiting factor in this scenario. Weed stays lit and smelly. Pens smell for a second and you can pull it off without suspicion, unlike with a lit cigarette. That’s what OP and I meant by “can” and “can’t.”
May I use the bathroom now?

Okay but the Target CIA aren’t watching you constantly. You absolutely can rip a weed pen in there while walking through.

No idea where you’re located, but in America there are a lot of right-wing religious wingnuts that enjoy street-corner preaching, as it were.
Most of this preaching involves carring signs with a fire-and-brimstone message and yelling about how the passers-by need to repent.
The most famous example would be the

That’s one of those where they became so mainstream that they don’t want to name it, but they definitely make Christian rock.
Apparently, Higher is about lucid dreaming, but he’s also dreaming of biblical Heaven:
Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
(Isaiah 29:18-19) Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets
(Revelations 21:21)“My Sacrifice” is about Scott’s struggle with alcoholism, but speaks of a person who gave him love and who he implies he repeatedly reunites with “in their mind.” That’s Jesus bro.
“One Last Breath” drops a capital-H “His grace” referring to God, “With Arms Wide Open” mentions praying, “What If” references Matthew 7:16-17, etc.
It seems quite a few of their songs are “actually” about something else, but totally allegorical to Christian belief. And idk what that makes you other than a Christian rock band.

Judging by the fact you call your friends mates, and from the fades, hoodies, and jewelry in that AI generated photo, I’m wagering a guess that you’re British and your parents think your friends are chavs.
- Comment on Is Roots really that controversial that it needs to be banned? Haven't watched the movie cause I quit pot and haven't read the book but isn't it like historical or something? 5 weeks ago:
Less controversial, more “reminds the US of a time it would like to forget.”
This is an aside, but what does quitting pot have to do with you not watching the movie?

Exactly. I’m confused why you’re singling me out when it’s the other comments that are borderline spoilers. Clearly he already knew something different happens after a little playtime, even before these other comments.
I’m not really trying to start a shitfight over verbage, which is why I’ve edited it so we can all rest easy. But it feels a little like walking on eggshells to avoid saying there’s

Tap for spoiler
its twist. I even knew about the twist when I decided to play it. Still a 10/10. Even these spoiler tags kinda imply something big is going to happen, should they read without looking. Yes, it would be cool if everybody could watch the Sixth Sense fresh for the first time, but it’s just kinda not in the nature of discussing things that hinge on a twist.

While I’ll edit my comment to be more careful, I don’t think that it ruins it in this case, especially without knowing what exactly happens. This user clearly has heard the buzz already.

Yes, keep playing! It plays it totally straight for wn hour or so, then the twist ruins your life.
- Comment on Not to get into a debate. If God is so omnipotent and above humans why does he or she have emotions? Like smiting or being upset or wrath? 2 months ago:
Because we apply human traits to God, and because being emotionless doesn’t necessarily indicate being higher than someone else.
In most traditions, God is incomprehensible to humans. Polytheistic religions break God down into multiple Gods or Goddesses with different characteristics, which is how they explain all of the events assigned to God. Lightning happens because of Zeus, etc.
For religions that don’t break God down into different aspects, it’s one of those things that kinda justifies itself. Bad things are happening so God is mad, if God is mad he has to have a good reason because he’s omnipotent. That’s where the faith part comes in.
Abrahamic religions especially have a father/child or teacher/student dynamic between God and humans. A major negative of the Fall of Man was that we had separated ourselves from God and could no longer could wander the Garden of Eden.
The implication is that God knows more than us, and to have faith that he acts for the good of humanity even if we don’t understand in our limited knowledge.
We like to think God cares about us.
