    IF- and this ‘if’ is doing a lot of work here, god exists… then the ‘plan’ is to LARP as the White Knight.

    remember, the whole sin thing started with Adam and Even in the garden. any one who has ever raised kids, or pets more interesting than a yeast starter… knows that you put two pets in a yard, tell them they can do whatever, except eat from two plants…

    … they’re gonna eat from two plants.

      Original sin was a setup. When a child burns their hand on the stove you told them not to touch, you don’t condemn them to hell for it. Also, why did you leave the stove on and leave the kid unattended? Also, why would you punish their descendants for the sins of their parents? Also, why did you invent hell, the stove, and the temptation? “Free will” is a bullshit answer for an omniscient being who knows what’s going to happen.

        The answer is… so that being can RP as some kind of hero. It’s even more transparent morality bullshit than BioWare games.

      Trying to get a good sourdough starter going has been one of the most infuriating things I’ve done. I’ve managed it once, only for it to die to mold. Dogs at least will bug you for thing they need eventually.

        Just in case you wanna give it a go

        You can also hit them up for support from chat or phone.

        Edit to add, if anyone else has a starter, I highly recommend their popovers as something to try with discards. They’re amazing. (Alternatively, for breakfast the waffles/pancake batter,)
