i went off on a rant on twitter a few years ago after some positivity peddler insisted that god never gives us more than we can handle
to which i said, 'well then, you believe in a psychopath god who punishes people for the fun of it and gave me cancer for the fun of it' and a few more pointed comments
they deleted their tweet
