That’s how a lot of eye witness accounts go, and the writers of the Bible aren’t even eye witnesses. It’s no wonder that everybody has a totally different version of events.

I’m not a Christian, but I think you’re misunderstanding how “holy” texts are supposed to work. They aren’t designed to be a riveting story, or even to make any sense in order. They’ve been translated so many times that they are a labyrinth of words compared to whatever the original intent was. The only way they function now is like sifting through word salad to find the occasional insightful line that resonates with you.
That isn’t necessarily bad—it can actually make the kernels of wisdom more impactful when you’ve been using your interpretive brain to get through the rest of it—but the problem lies in people finding meaning or justification in the horrible bits.
I actually think Jewish scholars have the right idea in a way: they treat the Torah as a story, a mathematical puzzle, and a secret code all at the same time. The wisdom is in the interpretation, not the literalness of it. People are supposed to question it because there is no predefined truth to swallow from it.

I’ve been keeping up with this.
She is alright, she has been spotted in several countries lately, most recently Finland. She has a new girlfriend named Flutter, and she’s still active on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Are you in the US?
- Comment on Anon hires a goth chick 2 weeks ago:
I did not imply that at all. I said “ if you’ve gone a quarter century without intimacy and you desire it.” So, if 25 years pass and they desire, but are unable to obtain, a sexual encounter, they should simply hire someone rather than kill themselves, as the poster said they were considering.
I’m honestly at a loss for how you interpreted that as me saying they were looking for action as a child.
- Comment on Anon hires a goth chick 2 weeks ago:
This person isn’t a child, they’re 24.
- Comment on Anon hires a goth chick 2 weeks ago:
Why not just hire somebody? Like, I get that it isn’t ideal, but if you’ve gone a quarter century without intimacy and you desire it, it can be obtained with a little cash and a week of research.

Bro…I’m glad you’re happy. If you do get the chance for a kiss though, it’s worth trying it out. They feel nice.

Extra effort was put into all of the images of the Thoth tarot. It was, by far, the biggest advancement in tarot since the Rider Waite designs. Every square inch and chosen color is very deliberate, and there are several books that dissect each image for its meaning.
When it was reprinted in the 70’s, James Wasserman of the OTO worked overtime to make sure that the original colors were accurately preserved so that none of the meaning would be lost. The Thoth tarot is a labor of love that has spanned generations.

I like to think that at least a dozen would think “oh yeah, that guy, he was cool back when I knew him.”

You can tell by the line between them that these are two distinct haircuts.

For me, it’s less about the face and more about the area above the face.

You just said it yourself—you retaliated. That’s the mistake. They have all the power by design, and nothing is going to change that. If you don’t like it, you are welcome to find somewhere else to make your point.
Being a Redditor is like being at boot camp—your only options are “thank you, sir, yes, sir, I understand, sir.” Any response that deviates from that will just make your situation worse—and that is exactly how it is intended to be.

I’ll just get this out of the way up front: Reddit sucks.
While I understand your frustration, I think you’ve made some errors here. First, Reddit is not trying to be a free speech platform anymore. They are a totally subjective space that ruled by the personal will of moderators and admins. They don’t have to explain anything to you, it is their house, and each sub is an arrangement where you pretty much just have to take it as it is, or leave it.
“Fucking assholes like you” and “is it normal to act like that” are antagonistic statements. From their perspective, you are a stranger antagonizing them on their turf—the easiest and quickest solution for them is to just get rid of you.
When they removed your comment, it seems like it could have been left at that. They didn’t want your comment. So it goes. By fighting it, you contributed to a situation that resulted in you being perceived as a troublemaker.
If you feel like you can’t speak your mind on a platform like Reddit, the answer is to find a different platform—not fight the Reddit dragon with complaints and insults.
