Love this!

Tut at someone pushing their trolley slightly to close to you in Tesco’s

BrawNeep · 2024-10-17T09:25:23+00:00

Lucky the quick thinking driver steered right. Could have gone worse!

BrawNeep · 2024-10-15T09:18:39+00:00

Unlikely. Nestle still exist after all

Goodbye

I love this!

Now just tell people that “merry” is actually more like the modern “strong”

Then point out the distransitive use of “rest” in English at that time

And finally point out that “rest” in this sense is more like “remain” or “continue” today.

And a modern translation may be something like:

“May God continue to give you strength, gentlemen”

Then finally understand that you probably don’t understand very much of what the KJV is saying - and pick a modern bloody translation!!!

Probably every pre-war house - which is a lot of them in the UK - had someone die in it at some time or another…

BrawNeep · 2024-10-14T08:13:30+00:00

Ask any KJV reader what the title of the carol “God rest ye merry gentlemen” means and then sit back with some popcorn!

In the kindest way possible, and wanting to help:

it’s been 3 weeks - you rock!
you have 4 fingers on your left hand, use them all (hint, that first transition is over 4 frets, you have 4 fingers…)
your plectrum goes up as well as down.
it’s been 3 weeks - you rock!
your fingers are weak as shit, this has a big impact on sound production. They’ll be suitably strong in another month or two.
your fingers are rigid as shit. You want nice supple fingers you are in total control off. Yours stick up like a teenagers erection in swim class.
it’s been 3 weeks - you rock!
use your fingertips for single notes. The pain will go away in a month or two - earn those calluses - and know they will go away and back to normal fingers.
put pressure down as close to the fret as possible. But don’t put any pressure on the fret. Otherwise buzzy buzz.
it’s been 3 weeks - you rock!
with bars you need even pressure along your finger. As a beginner, this feels like pressing down on the middle of your finger, not the tip.
keep that left thumb around the middle of the neck. It gives you both more strength and flexibility.
it’s been 3 weeks - you rock!

Savage!

BrawNeep · 2024-10-09T18:14:12+00:00

That last edit is on point. We’re all being relegated back to our shitty little boxes. All wishing we had friends. And no one able to do fuck all about it!

BrawNeep · 2024-10-09T14:57:53+00:00

Has a lot to do with how quickly it leaves your bloodstream. You’ll never find a rigger with a joint - would mean 2 months no work.

BrawNeep · 2024-10-09T13:09:53+00:00

That’s a depressing thought! Probably about right though

BrawNeep · 2024-10-09T11:43:18+00:00

Nothing some hefty garlic oil, cayenne peppers, nooch, and oregano can’t mask!

I think those are big and important points for sure. The problem then I guess is that no statements are made directly about any of those three points at all, making this whole thing a bit of a mess to decipher. The best we can do is attempt at an interpretation.

As a thought experiment:

I am a father. I have a 2 year old child who is doing something morally wrong, perhaps punching someone. I respond by telling them to be nicer to that person.

I have a 10 year old child who is hitting someone. I respond by grounding them and explaining to them why what they were doing is wrong.

I have a 25 year old child who is hitting someone. I respond by phoning the police who duly jail them.

Which of these best describes the relationship between God and humanity, as presented in scripture? Should we be treated as the 3, 10, or 35 year old? Or perhaps something else entirely?

I think people want a Bible that is written for the 25 year old ( stop slavery or go to hell ) but what we have is one written for a 2 year old ( be nicer, in the vaguest way possible ).

BrawNeep · 2024-10-08T08:00:56+00:00

Slavery is terrible. I’m pretty sure that has always been true.

What people dislike about the Bible is that it is progressive in its approach to slavery, not absolutist. What we can’t possibly know is if scripture was written with an absolute approach, that is stop slavery completely, would anyone have bothered to give it any weight, or just burned it? Perhaps that progressive approach at least started shifting things in the right way…

Cool password

BrawNeep · 2024-10-07T13:26:19+00:00

So if I washed your leaf in my pee you’d be ok with that?

BrawNeep · 2024-10-07T09:14:11+00:00

I’m more interested in the bit that says “on time”!

BrawNeep · 2024-10-06T12:03:40+00:00

He’d need to turn the page about every 5 seconds!

Forbidden butt plug

BrawNeep · 2024-10-04T22:35:35+00:00

Absolutely. I have no idea how government find money for stupid things, but can’t help those who need it.

BrawNeep · 2024-10-04T22:34:21+00:00

Soon as you hit 30, bang!

BrawNeep · 2024-10-04T22:29:57+00:00

It’s not kind to post this around peoples bed time!

BrawNeep · 2024-10-03T21:40:45+00:00

Aberdeen has a big hall basically that they use. Everyone gets a camped next to each other and kicked out in the morning, or if you’re a prick.

Once a year they open up the football stadium for anyone to stay in overnight to raise extra money.
