The comment section in reddit is not a space for the people who liked the post, it's actually the opposite. The people who upvote the post, at least like 80%-85% of them I think, just hit like and move on. However, the comment section remains as a space for those who either didn't quite like it, or are a bit jealous about the attention it receives, the other half of it is mostly people who just want to expand on the idea without being particularly fond of the stranger even if they somewhat enjoyed the post.

So that's why if they see the OP appearing in the comment section, chances are many of them will downvote it just for the big blue OP flair that stands out like a 'kick me' sign, and some may do so before even reading OP's comment lol. Even if the post is generally well received, the person behind it almost never is so that's why you kind of feel that general hostility vibe in the comment section towards them, they're kind of roaming like sharks and then, at the first sight of his unprotected presence, they attack lmao.

It's actually kind of hilarious.

Ever since Lookman bagged that hat-trick when Atalanta destroyed Leverkusen 3-0, it has become oddly normalized to see whoopings all the time in finals. We'd then see PSG whooping Inter, then Chelsea whooping PSG in the CWC. And now today Villa dismantling Freiburg. Back then teams would risk so little and wait it out patiently like the Milan-Juve final in 2003, for example.

Is the old model of the cagey final with minimal risks getting more outdated now?

Every year now, their UCL exit is mostly due to the same thing. Last year against Inter and the year before against Madrid saw very similar problems; being in matches that are hard as nails and having close to zero good options to draw from the bench in the 2nd halves. And no rotation for the 2nd leg either. You can't expect to beat european giants when all you got sitting there are a bunch of defenders and UCL deadweight like Guerreiro and Goretzka. While Luis Enrique got all his subs right and they were all felt immediately in the pitch like Barcola, Hernandez and Mayulu, the best that Bayern could modify was Nicolas freaking Jackson and Kim, literally a defender for a defender sub while losing.

This team used to have so much depth all the time in the last 2 decades, now they are obligated to run their key players into exhaustion for all competitions. Their front 3 are all amongst the attackers with most minutes this season and while they have some decent rotational players for the domestic competitions, they're of no help in UCL. What's worse is that they genuinely have pretty much the second best starting XI on the planet or at least a top 3. This team is absolutely fantastic, their pressing and fluidity are remarkable and Kompany is a great manager, specially on the man-management aspect but the sad reality is that they're not gonna win their 7th UCL until they take a pragmatic approach to solve this problem, honestly.

It goes without saying that most of us Christians hope for the universal salvation of all human beings, but there's a big difference between hoping for that and teaching universalism as a doctrine. How can a Christian enter church every week, do the sign of the cross, see the image of Jesus Christ crucified and still think that sin doesn't have consequences? He atoned for our sins, but the gift of salvation is for those who accept it and God isn't gonna force it on someone who doesn't want it, that's utterly unbiblical.

And I'm not even gonna get into the old eternal conscious torment vs annihilationism debate here, but that brings me to my next point. Putting God in our little boxes and evaluating Him morally according to our own parameters is deeply wrong. Many people who believe in Universalism or annihilationism claim to do so because according to them, if hell exists, then God is immoral, which is astoundingly false. The existance of a hell doesn't make God any less just than He is, people go there on their own and He has given us every single tool He could've to ensure that we chose life and don't have to suffer such a fate, He is eternally merciful and will always be.

We must tell the truth always, the truth is that no one goes to the Father except through Jesus Christ; faith in the only begotten Son is what justifies a man before God and makes him inherit the Kingdom, these are basic things from the Gospel that we know since childhood and it's repeated a thousand times throughout the New Testament. Yet when someone asks us, some of us have become so spineless that we go: 'oh I don't know, maybe not everyone needs faith', 'maybe only good works is enough', and a bunch of other empty answers that we say while trembling, mainly just so atheists like us and to be complacent with people. And that helps no one, it's not loving to lie, the loving thing is to tell the truth.

So please, next time someone asks you if faith in Christ is necesary for salvation, the answer from your faith must be a resounding 'yes', do the right thing by your brothers in Christ, it's of no use lying to them.

Specifically taking about the 'plus-size' positivity movement. Obesity is nothing to be celebrated or be proud about and it has nothing to do with how people look, it has to do with people's health and living the best and longest life they possibly can. I know not everyone who is obese is due to gluttony or lack of discipline but no one who has weight problems is exempt from trying to do diet and exercise.

These narratives claim to love people and if it were so, I'd be more than on board with the body possitivity narrative of accepting our body as it is, but most of these narratives have nothing to do with acceptance and love, what these individuals need is help with their problem, not being fed with useless terms to deviate from the issue, such as 'plus-size', 'voluptous' or 'full-figured'.

Words mean things, and these people are overweight, period. When society loses the fear of stating things as they are, that's when we'll finally be able to advance and do the loving and just thing by our fellow man. And trust me, the individuals who have these problems and are serious about correcting them always appreciate people being honest to them instead of lying to them. It has nothing to do with shaming; there are plenty of loving ways to tell the truth, particularly if you care about someone.
