But yeah, I probably missed an ask some time in the last 9 hours, so if you sent one, you can send it again.
Also if you didn’t send one you can send one anyway. I tend to leave my askbox out in the open where just anyone could stuff asks in it.

Ugggh. Who do you think you are, Google?
Come back when you’re a multinational corporation physically embodying the threat of a societal panopticon in order to more efficiently sell Authentic™ skinny mom jeans to hipsters, loser.
[soon your askbox would be full of shitpost asks like Argumate’s and] you’d be tempted to make an ms paint collage for every single one.
This television show blog doesn’t have that kind of animation drawing budget.
But don’t worry. Most anons on this blog do not get a Full Custom™ MS Paint.JPG for their asks. It’s just the rate of images per ask that would reduce.

Dual Monachy? I’ve got anons inventing entirely new forms of government right here in my askbox.

I mean, the incongruence of infinite punishment convinced me more that religion was false than a number of things, so that does make sense.

Anon-kun brings us some excellent worldbuilding material.
Hey, you want to hear something?
If there are souls, and they aren’t just glorified backup devices, but are involved in our decision-making process, then the behavior of an ensouled body must be different in some way from an unensouled body.
And thus, the behavior of ensouled matter, too, must be different from unensouled matter.
The degree of difference in behavior from the hypothetical unensouled version would determine the magnitude of interference. If it’s fairly high (and it would need to be in order to justify certain religious beliefs), then it should be detectable statistically by comparison with control atoms.

I admit, I focused on doing time travel, not watching time travel, so I haven’t seen all of them. It was more of a one-time thing, too.
Actually my knowledge of late 20th century movies is pretty selective. It was all considered pretty bloody problematic at the time, for most of them.
Anyhow, it’s kinda complicated, but the third way is the most, uh, accurate, I guess? There’s like a 50-50 chance I’m being chased by the Temporal Enforcement Bureau, but eh, I can live with it.

While many futurists anticipated broad advances across the technological economy, in fields ranging from computing to materials science, few foresaw the radical advancements in theology that advanced quantum theory would bring.

Anyhow, that was an alternate timeline futurist shtpost, but more seriously that is more towards the kind of weirdness I would expect from Ultimate Perfect Good, as compared to some other theories.

Man, this is a bit too close to some worldbuilding I did where, in the wake of a supervolcano eruption, a bronze-age civilization flipped from being polytheists to being anti-theists. The Storm the Heavens and Cast Down the Golden Thrones kind of anti-theists, not the internet article writing kind. (A cult expanded in the wake of the catastrophe and became the new religion.)
They are to train over multiple reincarnations for the literal, not metaphorical, battle at the end of time.
Anyhow, the good news is that gluten has been deemed one of their unholy foods.
SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
