  • Also looks like a “news” reporting outlet that likes to over-report on every crime that occurs in a large city.

    I saw news week and I knew there was no reason to give this headline any credibility. Does “media bias checker bot” not do the right wing?

    Also won’t be surprised to see other news outlets “pick up” on this because of the obvious built in virality that right wing reporting has inherent to it these days (see right wing posts doing 10;1 better than left since musk take over of Twitter)

    This whole thing reeks, and I’m sad that I’ll be a conspiracy of very few when in the past this would have conspiracy idiots all over it.














  • Why not engage?

    I do believe you should watch some more Lucifer, you would probably change your opinion on the portrayal of heaven and hell in it. Heaven is a walled off garden of aspiration for all of the metaphysical beings in the show, and hell is a place of such suffering that the only ones content to be there have never experienced heaven. I don’t believe it matches the characterizations you’re claiming it does, despite having watched an entire episode.

    And being sympathetic towards Lucifer is not the writers attempt to portray hell as good. Lucifer is a character of manipulation and uses temptation to get what he desires. The devil, as much as it is portrayed in the Bible, doesn’t act with deeds of evil, but deeds of manipulation and temptation.


  • You should watch more Lucifer.

    You have a very flawed perception on what’s going on in the good place if you think the actors from “the bad place” are working to get people into heaven, or the reason the people of heaven leave so quickly.

    But I’ll bite on what I perceive to be a barely good faith question and not a concern troll post.

    When you look at the idea pushed (especially in the last few hundred years) of a dichotomy of infinite joy or infinite suffering, there’s a lot of realism that can be pushed in the gray areas. The absolutist of everything is good because everything is good and everything is evil because everything is evil has been portrayed from the good side for a long time, the somewhere in between that modern media takes from brings things towards the middle on both sides, but concern trolls can’t rationalize heaven to be anything but perfect, so they go on tirades about media they don’t care to look at critically, whenever they feel their absolutist belief of heaven good is analyzed with a modicum of scrutiny.
