I'm just pointing out that within the constructs of the predominant Christian mythologies... Johnny's fucked himself over unless he recognizes he's being a shit and atones for it.

Whether you assign any validity to the underlying dogma is an individual choice. People have a tendency to overlook logical inconsistencies in their faith frameworks, in any case.

There's a subtext that you guys are missing. The devil wins whether he says Johnny won or lost.

• If the devil wins, he gets Johnny's soul per the terms of the bet.
• If Johnny wins, the devil gets Johnny's soul because he's committing multiple deadly sins purely by boasting and challenging the devil for a golden fiddle: pride, greed, vanity.

If he deems Johnny the winner, Johnny is less likely to challenge the decision, and he's also more likely to continue committing the sins of pride and vanity (by boasting of his victory over the Devil Himself).

Johnny's only chance to avoid his fate (per most strains of the Christian faith) is to acknowledge and repent/confess/absolve his sins by seeking divine mercy. The devil knows this is unlikely.

Johnny lost as soon as he uttered his first line.

What's worse is the fact that 85% of those exorbitant bills are either substantial overcharging to game the insurance system, or costs associated with paying entire departments of people at the provider whose job is to figure out how to get insurance to pay them for procedures.

Our oppressive healthcare costs are entirely the fault of the private insurance industry, and the corrupt politicians who accept bribes to keep it that way.

"And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling bigots!"

Me reading this list: "Maybe I should move to Minnesota..."

You are describing a state of software development that has existed since the introduction of punch cards.

Practically every business I've worked at has had some internal library or repository of commonly used behavior that can be included in day to day projects.

There's Finamp, a music client for Jellyfin with offline playback. I've not used it personally yet, but with Spotify ratcheting up prices again I'm in the process of switching to self-hosting my music library. When that's up and running it's at the top of my list for Android clients.

Oh that's the one that Neurotic Goose is doing in Nothing mode, I think. Sounds... complex.

What is GT:NH

I rather enjoyed how Deadpool+Wolverine lampshaded this with Chris Evans.

What are the chances that loadingartist is related to Mercer Mayer?

Throw in some Venn diagrams for good measure!

To be fair, The Spirits Within was pretty amazing especially considering when it was made. I briefly had the same thought while I was still in awe of the realism, so I can definitely understand why people would believe those headlines.

I can imagine a scenario where a real voice actor is paired with a particular model and used in multiple films/roles. That's not that dissimilar to Mickey Mouse or any other famous animated character.

The idea that AICG actors will completely replace live actors is clearly ridiculous, but the future definitely has room for fully visually- and vocally-AICG personalities as film "stars" alongside real people.

Some people water walk.

Yeah, but usually only if their 12 buddies are stressing out in a weather-weary boat

It's a diagram of states where certain rights are being suppressed.

Top circle is abortion, bottom left is voting, bottom right is LGBTQ+.

The best people.

One of the things Harris really has going for her is the fact that she would absolutely demolish Trump in a debate. She would not let him off the hook for his lies and would be able to counter his BS with reality.

Which is why Trump will never agree to debate her.

If Harris does become first name on the ticket, they better put Jesus Himself Christ as her running mate.

Perl is definitely a WORN language.
