One of the good things about having an uncommon name (at least for America) is there’s no stereotypes for what I have to act like

People hate on non-STEM or liberal arts majors (for good reason, there’s no jobs), but one thing I don’t like about being in a STEM major is the lack of interest. People are only doing engineering, chemistry, and math classes so they can get a job after. Even the professors are just focused on getting you through the tests. Whereas in my language class, people actually care about their major. It really sucks because math and chemistry are beautiful, we just don’t seem to care about them. We only care about our careers.

Just to play devil’s advocate, I do understand verity a little bit. I used to and still really want people’s approval, it’s a big problem for me. Now Christ has saved me, and I’m able to grow in not living for approval. But that’s to say I understand how hard it is when you’re really eager for others to like you, whether online or irl.

Good quote about this: “Ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.” - Paul in Romans 1

i find it a little odd that people convert to atheism like just cus ur religion is wrong doesn't mean a god doesn't exist

“I am all too human, a slave to sin. I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.” - Saint Paul

NC State might be the worst football team in the ACC

Phones are massively overrated

Would you be willing to pay $15 a month to not see any Adsense ads? Google makes around $150 from you watching ads in a year, so they would make even more money and be less annoying if they did this

I don’t think there’s any way to recover from this. It was one of the worst losses in college football history.

Genuinely worst loss I’ve ever seen, this is potentially one for the record books

GENERATIONAL SELL from NC State!!

On this date 1841, an angel supposedly appeared to Joseph Schlatt, Jr in Palmyra, New York, and told him all other SMPs had gone astray and apostatized,m. The angel told Schlatt that he would be the one to restore the one true SMP as it was meant to be, and gave him gold chestplates which had written, in an ancient language, the Book of Minecraft. It told a story of an ancient American Minecraft server.

Schlatt quickly formed an SMP and many players, wanting something new, went to join it. The established SMPs persecuted the newly formed group, and declared it heretical (they were using Bedrock). The group ended up having to journey to the Farlands, where they can still be found today.
