I had already read that book prior to my teacher reading it aloud in class. She couldn’t read that chapter, so I volunteered to, having already had my trauma from the scene. We didn’t end up watching the movie, though.

I never got plastering logos for whatever brands you love to consume on everything you own. Like buying decals and stickers and shit to put all over your car, laptop, whatever else. Since when do we pay to advertise for brands…?

Get my resume together

That’d be all the things.

Well how about that. It’s also my birthday. Happy birthday, Leni

Morality and religion are the same in society, broadly speaking. Any of the myriad interviews with a non-religious person being asked how they derive morality without religion is telling enough for that.

If you had asked me 10 years ago, it’d be a firm “atheist”. A year ago, “agnostic”. Today, I don’t identify with a religion, but I think there’s a lot of interesting things within them. Given a charitable interpretation of any of them’s texts, as well as looking at the parts where a large number of religious systems agree you can arrive at some pretty profound pieces of wisdom.

I don’t necessarily think these things tell us much about our origin, or what happens after death, or speak to any kind of deity. What they do speak a lot on is the human condition. What we value, what themes and motifs speak to us.

I don’t really like the terms “religion” and “religious”. To me, those are the organized, preachy kinds of almost-cults most of us here have problems with. I prefer referring to my own personal beliefs as spirituality. Where the two differ, in my mind, is that religion is found externally. Someone converts you, or you’re born into it. Spirituality is found through self-reflection. Some of the self reflection processes involves talking to and learning from others, but it ultimately comes back to a deeply individual assimilation of this new knowledge with the unique lived experiences you’ve had.

Yeaaaah that upward mobility isn’t a feature of the system, it’s a bug, and they’re working on patching it constantly.

It’s never been easier to be a billionaire. It’s never been harder to be a millionaire.

Point being it’s a last resort. I’ve lost all other options, may as well at least get someone there to ID the body or somesuch.

One day, when I’m in actually GOOD shape, and have a bit more grey.

Joining a sword fighting gym. Absolutely fantastic community, and while I’m currently laying in a hot tub to soothe my absolutely dead legs, I’m definitively in the best shape I’ve been in in my adult life.

Implying management is human work?

I feel like someone should compile a list of suspects (read: denied claims) and read them off loudly at every memorial event for him.

Yeah, well your tongue doesn’t fit comfortably in my mouth!

Hot.

Imminent threat of bodily harm and no route for escape. Calling the cops will get you an armed response. The only time an armed response is at all appropriate is if life could be lost otherwise. Any other time, it’s best not to bring a gun into the situation.

Okay, but how do your clothes feel against your skin?

I was wondering if Firefly being the immediate de facto response to this had lived its life. It appears not.

Sorry, to be clear, that line was sarcasm. I agree with you, these videos aren’t click bait.

Clearly any video that asks a question or implies a strange phenomenon or situation is click bait. See also:chubbyemu videos here

For the record, I do not think these are click bait, if they’re accurate. Or, at least, they’re click bait that actually gives you a worm instead of some shitty rubber faux worm.
