Live chat. Link's in Post 4 ok cool thanks! also has anyone ever sprained an ankle before? I think I may have but it like doesn't really hurt??? but something's definitely different idk what is transhumanism? o.O I've sprained an ankle in track before. In that case, I just kind of knew because I landed on my foot weirdly and then it came back up off the ground and hurt. I'd just ice it regardless, keep it elevated on some pillows or something comfortable, and let it relax for awhile.

I landed on it badly yesterday and it hurt at the time but now it's just kinda sore and feels funny.

@spottedstar3137
Yea, you should probably just go easy on it and you can test it out every day until it feels better. What were you doing to land on it badly?

I'm probably gonna wrap it tomorrow since I have school and will be walking around a lot. I was jumping on the trampoline and landed on the outer side of my ankle XD

Can you guys pray for me? I'm an extremely quiet and shy person to the point where it can be crippling. As a result, I have a very hard time participating in class, and I'm worried that it's really going to hurt my performance in school. I really need to find courage and confidence to get through this year. Will do. I used to be like that too- dunno how I shifted, but you'll get there too Yeah. I mean, I understand that I'll always be an introvert, and there is no problem with that, but I have to get over my fear of being judged by others. Thanks for the prayers!❤️

i'll be praying <3
but also, can i have some prayers? my cat's really ill, and has been for months now. she's only five, but she's lost almost all her bodyweight, and she's sick all the time. they can't figure out what's wrong, but she's not retaining nutrients at all. i think she's gonna die soon, but please just pray for my grandma especially, cause she'd really miss her a lot <3

Definitely will pray for her! I'm a huge animal person so this one particularly touches me. Could it be a kidney/liver problem? Is she throwing up a lot? Sorry I'm kinda investigative and I'm in school to be a vet so this stuff always gets the gears turning in my brain. I'll definitely pray for her and your grandmother!

Hello everyone. How are you?

Praying for the kitty and the fam, @bolderpelt . So sorry about that. My friend lost her kitty today... it's such a sad thing, it's literally like losing a best friend.
Also. Someone mentioned transhumanism? Absolutely interesting. To call it "evolution" in its usual sense would be a stretch, as we'd actively be able to deny it (unless we're forced into it at birth or whatever - in which case, that's tyrannical) and it wouldn't occur naturally, but at the rate technology is advancing? Not an unlikely prospect.

Not an unlikely prospect. Aww, I'm sorry to hear that Prayers for your friend Transhumanism is such a crazy moral quandary. If we start genetically altering humans, at what point do they stop being "human"? How far down the chain of genetic engineering can you go before the soul is lost? Are we gonna end up accidentally bringing the Nephilim back or something? It's crazy to think about. Especially the long-term idea of uploading human brains into computers- in a sense, the idea of trying to obtain eternal life.

But the issue is, how far do you go? If you keep genetically altering humans, how long until you end up with something that barely resembles what humans were originally? And at what point in the genetic "line" would they cease to have souls?

Okay here's my input God made us, beautifully the way we are, so genetic altering is, to me, is rebelling/dishonoring God I mean I totally love superheroes and all that stuff, but I don't think this is right.

I agree. I think that, like, curing genetic diseases and stuff is ok, but we don't need to mess with the actual makeup of DNA. unless we're trying to make dinosaurs, in which case I totally support it

It's like altering your baby because you don't like the eye color. dinosaurs are the bestYeah that's the main problem with it. You can't really genetically alter an adult, so you're forced to do it to babies, which is even more ethically questionable.
