There’s baaad theology behind this, too — focus on sinful nature and temptation, means men who wouldn’t still think they would/could, and men who might have a theological narrative for why they do (and how they might be forgiven anyway). Better to say: you’re capable of and responsible 4 being good.

Anyway, going through and unsubscribing to a bunch of stuff with this submitted as the reason (other): “Turned off Gmail AI features, which apparently means they take away the sorted inboxes for marketing emails, etc. Mad about a bunch of sudden unsubscriptions? Blame Google.”

I wrote “I am conscious” on a price of paper and put it in my photocopier. It printed out a paper that said “I am conscious.” Literally shaking rn does this mean my copier is sentient? (/sarcasm)
