Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are free, but Satan requires a $2.99 per month subscription. "Ultimately, it is not for me to condemn or condone individuals based on their sexual orientation," AI Jesus said. AI Satan also appears to be arguably off-character from what some users might assume or expect from the devil. "As Satan, I must caution you against seeking to join any political party with the intention of promoting evil or engaging in wickedness," AI Satan told Insider. "Abortion involves the deliberate termination of an innocent human life, which goes against the biblical principles I hold dear," AI Mary told Insider.

Fun fact: We’re a day apart, our birthdays, so I used to say that we’re almost birthday twins. Being able to see his story told in that light on Broadway — I was so moved, and I keep going back and bringing people. That album, for me, symbolizes everything that it means to come of age — the heartbreak, the finding yourself. There’s a ramen spot that’s five minutes from my house that I honestly abuse the heck out of because I’m always over there. I feel like my friends are probably tired of me constantly suggesting to go get ramen when they ask what we want for lunch.

2022 is the second year of a long journey to pay off my student loans and credit card debt. I also made a payment plan with credit card companies to stop my debt from accruing compound interest. I racked up over $20,000 of credit card debt, then rage-quit my job without a backup plan. Before the refinance, from January 2022 to July 2022, the minimum payment on my private student loans was $670. Here are the three crucial steps I took to pay down nearly $11,000 worth of debt in one year.

☆ Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, high-functioning depression and why ‘checking in’ isn’t enough

High-functioning depression is a colloquial term and not a technical clinical diagnosis, explains Rheeda Walker, Ph.D., psychologist and leading researcher on suicide in the Black community. Persistent depressive disorder is another official diagnosis that, for some patients, may include high-functioning depression, Walker says. But she also stresses that because high-functioning depression is not a technical diagnosis, she’s hesitant to say they’re the same. But a 2021 study indicates the Black suicide rate is likely higher than documented because the manner of death is often misclassified. If you’re concerned about a loved one attempting suicide, Walker notes that anxiety is “as strong a predictor” as depression.
