    The trolling response is obvious if you grew up around teenagers playing with this idea:

    1. Men developed faster than women.
    2. Men started as women in the womb then were able to develop past it.
    3. God created a first draft in Adam, then said “i bet I could do it better a 2nd time, and I won’t start from scratch this time”
    4. There is always a first child when it comes to siblings. “rolls eyes”
    5. Well Adam was the first, so there was no bloodlust. Due to eating the fruit, well there was a grudge match scheduled for having the time-out from paradise and introduction of death/bad/good/children - The terms of the grudge match were laid out: fruit of the woman to crush the snake.

    To reduce your question down, you seem to be asking, “Why did x thing get created if it caused evil?”

    I like to think that the answer is in how things are created. To create matter, you have to also create antimatter (if i understand that right). Perhaps, for God to create Good, he had to also create evil. A point that I have seen argued is “did god create everything from nothing” like was taught by the Catholic church, or “did god create from existing things” like organization.

    In conclusion, what god did and why has a lot of questions around it, and it is easy to split a definition like “create” and get in a heated argument while talking past each other.

    I personally think that “being as gods having a knowledge of good and evil” being the boon that the fruit of the tree gave is key to your question as there is no perception of good without the contrast of evil and vice versa.

    **Source for personal belief: ** https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis 3&version=NIV The serpent lies to get past the reticence of eating/disobeying by saying “you shall not surely die” then persuades with an assertion that I take to be fact: “be like god having knowledge of good and evil”.









  • Well unsecured consumer debt has technically no legal consequences if it is not paid unless you get permission to garnish wages from a court. Most consumer debt collectors use the “badger and harry” approach of constant phone calls to collect debt.

    Secured debt will just take the collateral.

    Of course try the high fico score debtors first.

    Or just forgive the debt.




  • Well, it seems like you have a good BS detector. I would still go to chatgpt and ask for “what types of psychologist approaches are there to sadness”. It will then respond with " behavioral, cognitive, etc") then I would ask what would a therapist for each approach say to a person who “is sad, and other characteristics and circumstances of yours”. Then pick the ones that you haven’t tried or you only did halvsies the first time you tried it.

    Good luck!


  • My dude, please get some professional help. I am religious, so if you ask me, I would point there, but seriously, you are worth it and you are at least worth the memes you post. I bet that you could grow a bunch from a place of stability, and have a pretty rad life to look forward to

    Here is some other advice:

    • ask chat-gpt for some exercises to help you get your brain where it should be and a timeline. Then execute. Rinse repeat

    • reduce social media (including Lemmy) a good “cold turkey” break would be a cruise or something.

    • obtain physically proximate friends via volunteering at a local food bank or similar nonprofit.
