    Jazz (Design)

    Jazz is a trademarked design that is featured on disposable cups. The design was introduced in 1992, and is considered an icon of 1990s culture. Jazz has also become a meme and has gained a cult following. Fans have applied the design to various objects, including automobiles, shirts, and shoes. Cups with the Jazz design were initially manufactured by Sweetheart Cup Company, which was later purchased by Solo Cup Company in 2004. Solo continued production of the disposable cups, and the Jazz design would become known unofficially as Solo Jazz.





  • Well, that’s why I look at it solely from a literary perspective. The whole idea of creating mankind, while knowing the whole future of everyone who will ever exist, and then punishing humanity because one of the very first people created failed to obey his rules, something God knew they would do, is simply absurd. But as a story it’s interesting.

    The whole premise of the God in the Bible makes little sense. To quote Epicurus:

    “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

    Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

    Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

    Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

    Omnipotence, Omniscience, Benevolence. Choose any two.


  • Mafia tactics. In my country, I’d wonder if there wasn’t a case to be made against that

    There is a solid case to be made for it, actually. What is lacking is a functioning justice system. The Dept. of Justice and the whole Executive branch of the American government has been corrupted. Laws are no longer being enforced against Trump’s allies and are being twisted to attack his perceived enemies. Even when the judicial branch rules against Trump and his allies, the rulings are ignored.

    The President of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts said:

    “And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

    Trump has been following Project 2025, the Heritage foundation’s plan. This really is the second American revolution and we have only two options. We can roll over and let Trump and his allies do whatever they want and have their “bloodless” revolution, or we can resist.



  • The idea is that he could have, but it was through his suffering that mankind would be saved. I’m not a believer but from a literary perspective, the story is that if he saved himself, all humanity would suffer. His human nature wanted to survive and avoid suffering but to do so would go against God’s will and humanity would not be absolved of sin. He overcame his human nature to embrace the will of God. Hence his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will”

    By the way, the nails actually go through the wrists in crucifixion, between the bones (radius and ulna). If you put the nails through the palms like they so often show, the weight of the body would just make them rip through the meat of the hands between the fingers.
