How so? It's not meant to be public shaming, which tif seems to think it is.

I think the very presence of another person in the process almost unavoidably inserts an element of sin-shaming.

I disagree, I find it much more useful than earlier versions.

Because I am not sad that he is dead. Not in a heartless sense, just that he didn't mean anything to me and I didn't find him particularly funny. So when he died, it didn't really register or resonate with me. Conversely, Greg Giraldo was one of my favorites.

The newly updated SiriusXM app for Android. Took what was already my least favorite daily-use app and made at least one order of magnitude worse.

>>> Alabama lawmaker tries to repeal law named after patient who died in his care <<< But let's get square with the truth here. Stutts is trying to repeal a law that affects his industry (even though, no one else in his industry seems to care much about it), a law that was named after a patient who ...

The entire point and purpose of confession is public shaming

i stopped reading here. the axe is sharp. well agree to disagree.

The deterrent role of confession is that you don't sin because you don't want to have to reveal your transgressions. Easier to not transgress.

Yeah, I'm not criticizing PF. He's like my favorite dude here.

Get a room.

I had an ASUS TF700T that was awesome, right up until it wasn't. Can't figure out what happened to it, but the thing just became so laggy as to be unusable. Replaced it with a Sammy Galaxy Tab S 10.5 which is sweetness incarnate. Considering getting a Tab S 8 and tethering it to my cell phone for pe...

I won't go unless the rumors of Michael Anthony rejoining the band come to fruition.

Two E3s ago I saw a panel discussion with five voice actors, including Troy Baker and Nolan North. Between them, they are pretty much every iconic male video game voice (except for Snake from MGS). Being there and hearing them instantly turn into different vocal characters was astonishing.

Objectively, I think II is the best. But I enjoyed IV the most, because whales.

Wouldn't be the same without ... Greg Giraldo.

Go to any place with google maps today and click on the packman button in the lower left corner... It's awesome.

edit: make sure it's somewhere with a ton of streets.

Fun times.

Radio commercial for upcoming Van Halen show at the Hollywood Bowl; all three songs used in the bed were from '1984'.

"I Know That Voice" does the same for voice actors. Both are excellent and highly recommended.

See? We are having a grown up and mature discussion about theology and no one is getting banned or even reprimanded.

The only thing I recognized him from was "G.I. Jane" (iirc, he played Demi Moore's boyfriend). Looked at his IMDB page and he's got a ton of credits. One of those ubiquitous character actors that everyone recognizes but no one remembers.

I don't think people sit there and say "Oh wow look at that idiot trying to pray for forgiveness".

i definitely remember those times in church where i had to confess every intricate thought and feeling in my life so it can be documented and used for blackmail at a later date. The entire point and purpose of confession is public shaming; you may admit the sins in private (and such admissions are ...

The way I look at my religion is if I'm wrong then oh well I'll never know, if I'm right then hurray for me. I only spend less than two days worth of hours at a church with friends. That isn't too bad.

How very Pascalian of you.

I'm sorry... coming from my point of view, it's way crazier than many other religions. Far far different from many other religions in my mind. I agree. It's easy to say there are similarities in other religions, but I can't think of any other religion that forces you to pay $250,000 just to find ou...
