@Xfinity I’m not sure why I pay for 1000 GB download speeds if this is all I can ever get on a speed test.

@ChickfilA Hey! Is the Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich coming back this year? I’m too invested in this sandwich!

@CapturingChrist At this point, I wish I could get a refund on my Patreon support.

While the most obvious hazard of the prosperity gospel is that it’s a theology that propagates a form of moral therapeutic deism, I think there is a subtler hazard at hand.

The prosperity gospel—in both its firm and soft versions—gives a very anemic theology of suffering. (1/🧵)

@dunkindonuts Sending an email claiming that 3x points is a birthday gift is honestly just insulting.

Don’t call it a gift if I have buy it.

Hear me out: Maybe we take a break from elections and just choose our leader based on who wields Excalibur.

@dominos Dang, I’m feeling flat ignored at this point. This guy has issues with rewards. I’m being asked to pay more at the window.

Why is my issue ignored?

[Joel Cates @joel_cates]

@Wendys @ChickfilA Asking me for a tip after I’ve already paid through the app is a con-man move.

Don’t bait and switch me. Especially for a performance that shouldn’t require a tip.

I’ll consider tipping when the other drive thru guys start asking for tips.

[Joel Cates @joel_cates]

@dominos Look…I’m tired of being conned into feeling like the jerk.

I order a pizza through your app. I drive to the store. I pull up to the pickup window.

A kid hands me a pizza through the window. Then he hands me a receipt to sign with the option to tip. I’ve paid already.

[Joel Cates @joel_cates]

He handed me a pizza through a window. @Wendys doesn’t ask for a tip. @ChickfilA doesn’t ask for a tip. Your boy hasn’t done as much as those guys.

He didn’t drive it to me. He didn’t even come outside. He handed it through a window. Nothing there required extra effort.

Well, friends, I’ve started a journey into YouTube content creation. I’d be honored if you’d join me along the way. https://t.co/7GZg8zxnr8

@thechosentv is better written, directed, scored, and produced than half the shows on Disney+. The cinematography was better than Kenobi by leaps and bounds.

@dustinthomas24 Or…just a suggestion…don’t set a hard deadline for yourself in front of everyone and then go radio silent when it passes.

In my most recent interview the scholar says that The Passion Translation version of Colossians is, "no longer Scripture."
Will you help me raise the alarm on this?

@Dylon59556561 I find Plantinga’s argument compelling. He supports it well.

I could turn the question back to you, as well.

I think we’re at an impasse.

@Dylon59556561 What gives you the idea that the physical world is all there is?

@ursusapologist @OracleOfBast @TyMel0822 @Dylon59556561 @MikeWingerii Please untag me from these replies. 😂
