  • I’ve been in and around Christian communities my whole life. There is truth to what you say - someone being Christian increases the likelihood that other Christians would be willing to help them.

    But by and large the prevailing attitude is even more disappointing and unchristlike. People are simply selfish and only want to serve themselves, keeping every penny they have earned regardless of those in need around them.

    The rich don’t get rich by giving it away, and this is well known amongst the rich themselves. Some may even give on a personal level, giving them a visual alibi for using their resources politically to actively oppose legislation and policy that benefits those less fortunate. To me this is even more evil.



  • Yeah! A good one, too.

    My family has kind of an off kilter sense of humor, so this was a staple as a kid, alongside other classics like the stinky cheese man or the runaway beard.

    I was pumped when I found out it was going to be a movie. Disappointed when I found out the movie had almost nothing to do with the book. And then pumped again when I realized the movie is awesome in its own right.



  • Then there’s me, who actively went hunting for where I could pay for this app as soon as I opened it

    This dev has never been anything but respectful of his community. I have no qualms paying him the equivalent of 2 beers a year for something I have used for multiple hours a day every day for more than a decade. Easy value proposition.

    The targeted ads thing I guess I get, but I haven’t had ads on Sync for so long it honestly didn’t really phase me because I planned to buy ad free anyway. Hopefully that bit gets streamlined.
