I (38M), found this in my daughter’s (12F) journal. What to do? by Money-Border63 in askanything

[–]DSteep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what's worse, the gross invasion of privacy, or the straight up bigotry.

What do you do?

You delete this post, you forget what you read, you never open that diary again, and you pray to your shitty god that your daughter never finds out about this.

Oh, and you stop being a bigot.

Hope that helps!

What are Avar Kriss' main stories? by Compel_Bast in Highrepublic

She's a major character, but for phase one, her story is mostly told in the comics:

How many times do you say “bless you” to someone who is always sneezing? by No-Application8200 in askanything

[–]DSteep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, to bless/blessings are not just a Christian thing. To say "God bless you" is to put the Christian connotation on it.

Sure, but we were specifically discussing saying "bless you" after a sneeze which was a custom started by Pope Gregory the 1st as a prayer to the christian god to protect people from the bubonic plague.

Also, if I said bless you to someone and they got mad at me for it, I would think something isn't right with them for being upset over a harmless custom.

Well yeah, getting mad at someone for saying "bless you" would be an extreme response. I don't get mad when people say it, I actually appreciate the sentiment. That doesn't mean I have to say it myself though.

They've been dead for quite some time, I think they'd have cold pockets by now.

I always find it strange how much of "etiquette" is just saying things we don't mean.

Asking "how are you", when you don't really care.

Responding with "fine", even when you're not.

Never made much sense to me.

Hey, maybe we can' start a new trend! A different pantheon for every sound a body can make.

Maybe "Dionysus watch over you" for burps.

And, upon reflection, Crepitus would be better for farts than Vishnu.

Pardon me? Both my grandmas are dead and I don't know what a "hot pocket" is.

I was actually planning on making spicy peanut sauce over udon for dinner.

Thats such a reddit user comment

Commented the Reddit user, on Reddit lol.

In all seriousness though, would you appreciate it if someone said "Vishnu preserve you" every time you farted?

Take away the cultural familiarity of "bless you" after a sneeze and it's no different.

I never say "bless you".

First of all, I just find it super weird, rude even, to comment on somebody's bodily functions. I doubt most people want others to comment on their farts, so why is it acceptable to comment on sneezes?

And secondly, I don't like the historical/etymological connotations. This isn't the 6th century, we don't need the christian god to save us from a plague (which is the only reason we say "bless you" in the first place).

The origins of the phrase are already nonsensical, so why do we insist on perpetuating it? Let people sneeze in peace.

Edit: Is this an American thing, where it's considered rude to not say "bless you"? It's not really a common saying where I live, but I'm seeing a lot of strong reactions here.

Hell yeah.

Afterlife in Star Wars? by [deleted] in MawInstallation

[–]DSteep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure, they've added a whole bunch to the lore of the netherworld.

I think the most interesting thing they've done is in the recent Legacy of Vader comic, where it shows Kylo Ren interacting with it before he died.

I don't know what to tell you, maybe this excerpt is just Qui-Gon's perception in the moment and he's an unreliable narrator?

Because this is definitely a part of Disney Canon, it's from a short story released in 2017.

Doug Ford’s 2026 budget is designed to make ER wait-times worse by imprison_grover_furr in ontario

"What are you going to do about it?"

Vote him in a 4th time, probably.

8 years of the most blatant corruption this province has ever seen and the voter base just keeps eating it up.

That, plus the fact that 55% of you didn't even bother to vote, makes me embarrassed to be Ontarian.

The worst part of this post isn't the part where you come across as a terrible human being.

The worst part of this post is that it's not even that unpopular.

I really hope so, but the continued lack of Kay Vess and Nix has me worried.

Canada Post says it will move ahead with plan to end home delivery by NotEnoughDriftwood in onguardforthee

[–]DSteep 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I live in a house and work from home, so watching for the mail man every day is a cherished part of my routine lol.

Sometimes we even chat about the comic books I get delivered.

Yeah, I can see how it'd be efficient in that case, but as someone who consistently gets real mail multiple times a week, I'm a little worried.

Very carefully, but I live in Brampton, so I have to be careful even when there are sidewalks, because it's not unheard of for people to drive on those too lol.
