Who cares if they're trolling?

What's the downside to assuming they posted this image in good faith?

Does it upset you that people might have different preferences than what you feel are the "correct" preferences?

Instead of reposting a picture outside of its original context, why not make a post with your own tier list and use it as a way to genuinely engage with other people?

I don’t think people should have to do that, but including context is generally an important part of asking a question.

Like if I’m trying to fix a problem and I need help I’d be like “I’m getting error code 123 on my printer (make, model). I’ve tried turning it off and on again, unplugged it from the wall, but the error always pops up as soon as it finishes powering on. Anyone have any experience with this and how to solve it?”

Take that back, Chick Tracts are gold.

I believe the average American inmate is more likely to want a Bible than a Quran.

This is what it feels like to grow old.

That makes sense.

Would that also mean if a tree falls in the forest it always makes a sound because there's always "someone" around to hear it? It sounds like we could say that the air or ground is "observing" the sound waves or impact made by the collision?

"Observe means observed by a conscious being"

Can something without consciousness make an observation?

Not a historian, but I believe Sojourner Truth is probably one of the names most closely associated with the phrase.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sojourner_Truth

Phrases like "I found Jesus" or "y'all need Jesus" have a lot of longevity because they describe a sentiment of experiencing salvation and reconciliation in terms that are understood by a large part of the population.

Instead of "Jesus" you could say "I found my purpose in life" or "I found love" and I think you'd be expressing nearly the same sentiment.

It actually makes sense as a campaigning song to me as long as your platform is about trying to address the social problems the song is highlighting.

I'd assume it's pretty common in America.

Something I like to do is look at my room as if I were an archaeologist or detective trying to build a profile on myself. It's a different way of framing how you see yourself.

If you and your friends have YouTube/Google accounts you'll get recommendations based on what your friends watch and search for.

 

What if there were voice chat channels you could join in a thread to discuss posts? The idea would be to give people a richer way of communicating instead of just typing comments and replies.

Update: I just realized what I really wanted was to have a conversation, so I'm going to get off the internet and actually go talk to people in the real world.

 

If what they believe is true, one day they may be forced to realize their mistakes.
