You're pretty much describing the epicurian paradox. God, or at least the Christian (and similar) god, is presented as being three things in an absolute sense:

1 - All powerful. His will is our reality, period.

2 - All good. He doesn't have even the tiniest shred of evil.

3 - All knowing. He is completely aware of everything that happens in this reality.

But we can plainly observe evil every time we so much as turn the news on, so how can that exist in the reality made by a god who demonstrates the three traits above?

Every single attempt at answering that paradox just shuffles two of the three pillars. (feel free to take a crack at it if you think you've got a solution, but this is very much a 'gotcha!' kind of situation that you might get really frustrated with, so, fair warning).

I was raised Christian, but this is a big part of what killed it for me. It boils down to accepting that if there is a god, the Christian presentation of it is mistaken at best, or dishonest at worst, and if we can't be accurate or honest about even our own diety, then we have no basis for the rest of our religion.

MS Paint-grade sketch for placeholder art

Finding one of those in game that was truly missed (as opposed to "oh shit we got caught... Uh, it was a placeholder! Promise!) would actually be awesome. Basically an accidental easter egg.

Either it's the nostalgia goggles, or another example of enshittification... but I remember when gesture typing was exclusive (actually was it exclusive? I'm doubting myself now) to FlexT9 and it was like magic - your gestures could be sloppy as fuck and it was still shockingly accurate. Someone must have bought them out or something, cuz FlexT9 kinda just disappeared and gesture typing started to become a standard feature. But no longer a reliable feature... as evident by the number of times I had to manually correct the autocorrects in this post...

The ships sank for your swims; but behold, they are risen!

Now, place your donations here, or you'll spend eternity stuck in port beneath a flock of seagulls that just gorged themselves on the infinite dumpster behind Taco Bell.

Okay but what kind of doctor?

ENT clinic? Probably what the message is shooting for.

Surgeon? You'll have a front facing gown, but your ass will most likely be on display.

ER? Why does that patient still have clothes on?? Grab some bandage scissors and chop that shit off!
