What’s the movie?

Little out of the loop. Is this joke/speculation, or has Vance genuinely left his wife?

I’d Google it, but people are getting deported and shit for having memes, and I’m a coward…

I had fully forgotten the phrase “you’ll tie up the phone line!” And I just had a nam style flashback of sneaking internet time during the day when my mom was at work, and praying that no one tried to call

See, I know you y’all were separate people. But then y’all got Tuvix’d and now you’re just trying to maintain the illusion of the originals so you don’t get fully murdered like the original Tuvix.

11 was the number I remembered it being. Been quoting that for years. Jesus Christ, it’s more than doubled. Wtaf is wrong with humanity

Do they not have a “don’t block the box” type of law there? Being within the intersection like that seems crazy to me

Yeah… I’m a big proponent. I grew up in a city where biking wasn’t standard, but could be done. I biked a lot back then. But when I say it is definitively unsafe here, I mean it. It would be a death sentence to try to bike here outside of the local state park

I don’t really care about down votes, tbh. But disliking a figure and pretending they don’t exist is ridiculous. “Stalin was awful! So he’s fictional!”

… Yeah, bro. That tracks. Lol

I agree with the sentiment, but that’s not a feasible option where I live. Even behind the ridiculous distances between work, groceries, and home, there are no bike lanes or even sidewalks anywhere near those locations. It’s all curvy and quite busy back roads and mountains.

Thank you for being the one to post that. It really bugs me when people say Jesus didn’t exist and present it as if it’s uncontroversial fact. Whether you believe in the claims about Him as a Messiah, a divine figure, et cetera are beside the point when discussing His existence. There is actual historical evidence to support that the figure existed and began a ministry around that time. Being anti historical is just bad practice, regardless of the side you’re falling on. Historical Jesus is a fascinating subject.

Again, regardless of your view, love Him or hate Him, a guy was born, said some stuff, and died, and it literally changed the entire course of human history. Religions that reigned for thousands of years do not exist anymore because of Him, the most influential government to exist until the modern era was based on the idea of being the torch bearers of His legacy. Empires rose and fell on His word (or, His supposed words, depending on your point of view). Like… No matter what, it’s a crazily interesting thing, and the idea that any one human can have a legacy like that is amazing. Let’s not downplay it. Heck, if you hate the guy, at least acknowledge He was real so that we figure out how to prevent others from having their message of peace and love so distorted and causing so much grief.

A dude lived 2000 years ago and we’re still talking about him, that’s pretty incredible. Worth learning about. Same with other historical religious figures, like Muhammed, Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha, although we are slightly less sure he existed, though consensus is that he did), Adi Shankara, and others.

What’s the scene on the right from?

I wish I lived somewhere that I did not have to have a vehicle to get around, but if I have to have a car, I’d love to have an EV. I’m a poor motherfucker, and I cannot wait for the day when I can get a cheap used EV that’s at least comparable to shitty used ice vehicles I drive that leave me sitting on the side of the road

What nursery rhyme taught you this?

I’m fairly certain the Weyouns are the Janets. Kai Winn is the judge

Just get the magnets wet and they won’t work

For interpersonal relationships, absolutely. Human-to-human interaction? Love this. For work, or when dealing with billionaires? Fuck. That.

But as far as with friends/family/neighbors/whathaveyou, my personal philosophy basically boils down to:

“anything of mine should be shared as freely as possibly without hurting me. Anything belonging to someone else should be treated as a rare and scarce resource”

That has honestly helped me so much. The caveat about hurting myself genuinely needs to be there. I will literally give someone things I truly needed, without ever considering whether I needed it or not. It is just my nature. And it’s not someone else’s fault for taking a thing I need if they don’t have reason to believe I needed it. So I do a little internal check now to make sure it’s not going to hurt me, and if it doesn’t, it’s freely shared. As for borrowing or asking for things, I try my very best not to, and to only ever ask if I’m desperate. I don’t care if people see me as a pushover, or someone they can get something from. I’m happy to be that person. I’d rather be the fool who got duped out of 50 bucks than be the person who let another human suffer because I was too afraid of looking like a fool over 50 bucks. And for what it’s worth, in the last year, as I have hit an all time low financially, all those people that I used to help when I could have rallied and helped me in myriad ways, some financial, some emotionally. But not a damn one of them abandoned me.

This world sucks so fucking much, but sometimes people make it worth living in

My answering machine script is:

Hi, this is [DharmaCurious], I’m calling about [reason]. My number is 123.456.7890, again, that’s 123…456…7890. if someone could call me back, I’d appreciate it. If you’re able, texting is a much more reliable way of getting ahold of me. Thank you, and have a great day

I also over pronounce the numbers on the second read through. Like hitting the T hard in Two, a bit like military radio when they do numbers. I just don’t say fife for five or zip for zero like they do sometimes.

First time it’s pronounced normally, second time it’s elongated and over enunciated. That way they hear it normal and probably get it, and then there’s clarification if they missed something. I’ll shuffle it around a bit if the reason I’m calling is complicated, and I’ll leave the number first before the reason, so they don’t have to listen through the whole thing again if they need to replay it and hear the number again.

No, no, the pirates don’t live there. They live on their boats. That’s where the pirates hide their gold. Maritime law states you’re allowed to take whatever you want from that room, as it’s ill-gotten gains. Trust me, just go in and take whatever you see!
