  • I keep hearing people complain about Google becoming unusable, but I never run into this issue. Anyone have specific examples of searches that should have worked in the past, but don’t work now?

    I don’t use Google that often, but when I do, my search is specific enough to work. Some of my recent searches are “Skacket” (a specific Minecraft server plugin,) “Google Sheets newline in cell”, “Sedecordle”, and “Jeffrey Wright imdb”.

    I’d never have expected it to work for such questions as “movie with smart guy who stretches”. Those kinds of questions are better suited for AIs like ChatGPT, in my opinion.










  • Ah, there it is, and that actually helps to answer the question. Assuming the Biblical God, canon states that God is love. So why would a perfect God, who is love, create a universe? It seems most likely to me that it would be so He can have an object of His love.

    But what is love directed to something perfect and easy to love? That’s hardly a worthy effort. Might as well make something authentic. And since He isn’t just loving, but love itself, He might as well make it in such a way that He can carry out every aspect of love - love when they love you back, love when they turn away, love when they hate you, love when they don’t even think you exist, and so much more.

    The universe must be filled with evil for half these situations to appear, but it’s not love to make someone evil. The solution? Free will. God made it so His creations were free to turn their backs on Him, but still, in love, He gave every warning against it, because separation from God is not only evil but death.
