If people hunger and you bring them pizza, are they not fed? Should they not be thankful even though the crust wasn’t tossed by your own hand? Darren amused the group with a visual interpretation of Saint Cad being up on the cross. This literally doesn’t exist without Darren’s imagination and effort, small though that effort may have been. It also doesn’t exist without AI images, as the juice wouldn’t be worth the squeeze otherwise. Same way I’m not bringing pizza to a group event if I have to make it in my kitchen. ---

Can someone create an image of poor, poor DemonTree on her own cross? She seems a little jealous of the attention Cad is getting. Stanislaus, maybe you can draw it by hand so we don’t have to suffer the horrific experience of an AI joke. ---

The difference is that Cad is a saint, but Tree is a demon, so who belongs on a cross? ---

No, there are not “trolls who surf this board and horribly insult posters because thats their fun”. They have no lives. Maybe they see someone continually missing points, doubling down, never being wrong, crying persecution, trying to make them learn but when they refuse, maybe it makes them mad and they insult. I am waiting for Darrens new AI cross, though it won’t be liked as pleasantly as Cad liked his. ---

Yesterday morning, I did my usual ritual: cold shower, workout, ate four eggs washed down by black coffee with butter, checked Facebook. I slightly deviated from my ritual yesterday morning though, I scrolled through the Dope. On the top of the queue was that thread. I was perplexed. Over the years I’ve been on all kinds of message boards and social media sites, and I’ve never seen anything like that. Someone admitting to making 10+ reports per MONTH? I would just like to know “why” and “what”? What kind of posts does he report? Besides the Trump related ones. Why does he report so many? What’s his motive? What does he get out of this? I’m normally not the type to call out people. I’m a True Neutral (who leans slightly towards evil and chaotic), I usually like to stay out of people’s business and tend to my own matters. I’m not one of those people who have agendas in groups. But as a True Neutral I find such people who want staunch adherence to codes of conduct a bit threatening. And he is not a mod, just a fellow member. He’s the type of person who remembers all of his city’s codes and ordinances by hard. He probably keeps two stacks of Sherwin-Williams paint color samples, from home depot. One labeled “acceptable”, and the other labeled “unacceptable”. If any house in his neighborhood has a questionable color, he would compare the “unacceptable” samples to the house. If there’s a match, he would instantly run to the HOA…or police.

> [@Cheesesteak](#): > > If people hunger and you bring them pizza, are they not fed? Should they not be thankful even though the crust wasn’t tossed by your own hand? There is such wisdom in those words. I don’t know much about the Bible but that quote rang a bell so I looked it up… and sure enough– **Dominos 3:17-18 (KJV)** 17 _If people hunger and you bring them pizza, are they not fed?_ 18 _Should they not be thankful even though the crust wasn’t tossed by your own hand?_ ---
