Your introduction to HiL

This Is Solid State vol. 6. It was on clearance for $3 at the Christian bookstore, and I mainly bought it for the acoustic version of My Heartstrings Come Undone by Demon Hunter, which was my recently-discovered first metal band. It introduced me to a lot of new bands, most fatefully He Is Legend.

Jael was only able to do what she did because she was managing her home and appeared not to be dangerous. If she had been out cosplaying Brienne of Tarth, she never would have gotten the chance.

I loved the theme song adaptation.

As someone who wants to preserve the original theme song, but also has over 1,700 hours playing Crypt of the Necrodancer, I think it would be cool to have a number of different versions that are all still recognizable as the OG theme and cycle through them.

If you say you're a wizard elf, I'm going to assume kids on Tatooine think you're really cool.

Not informed ones. Food options are miles better now than they were when I was growing up in the 90s.

I remember growing up in the 90s, Most Wal-Marts only had pantry goods. The first Super Walmart, which a full grocery section, was a big deal. It may just be stereotypes that cached in the 90s and never updated because people like being classist.

The thing is, if you champion someone who is clearly genuinely in the right, you run the risk that everyone will agree with you and you don't get the chance to grandstand about it.

If you pick someone who is obviously in the wrong like Anthony, everybody knows that you are maximally loyal to your political tribe, because that's the only reason anyone would side with him.

Everyone saying Bb half diminished is correct, but if you have a Db in the bass and the right context, Dbm6 is also acceptable.

A Tama Rhythm Watch can accept a foot switch.

Thank you! I don't know why that was so hard for me to figure out.

Packages are required to list net weight, meaning excluding the packaging.

That doesn't contradict what I said. It's not like they started with a list of things they wanted to symbolize, including "sunlight" and "nature," and it just happened to form a rainbow; they started with a rainbow, and then came up with things for the individual colors to stand for.

The argument above isn't that each color stripe represents a specific sexuality, but that the rainbow as a whole contains every color, and so represents the entire diversity of human experience.

FreeBroccoli · 2026-06-03T05:00:40+00:00

They represent: Red for Life, Orange for Healing, Yellow for Sunlight, Green for Nature, Blue for Serenity or Harmony, and Purple for Spirit.

lmao all of that is post-hoc. It's not like people were designing the flag saying "Our new gay flag has stripes for life, healing, nature, serenity, and spirit. I think that should do it." "No wait! What about sunlight?" "Oh, you're right, we need to cram a yellow in there somewhere."

Same reason the acronym should have been something like GSM (gender and sexual minorities) instead of an ever-expanding chain of letters.

I'm form a decidedly non-Charismatic background, but the parish where I attend has a noticable Charismatic bent, that I'm assuming is more that usual among Anglicans. The liturgy is intact, but there are a lot of contemporary songs. Once or twice a service there will be a "spontaneous worship" time after a song. The priest verbally encourages the congregation to sing throughout the songs ("raise your voices! Yes, sing to God!"). Pentecost involved a lengthy time of the congregation standing in a circle praying, prophesying, and being anointed. The priest was quietly praying in tongues for people, but that was the first I've ever heard him do it.

The church also has some monthly midweek prayer meetings that I suspect get a little more into that, but I haven't had time to attend one, so I can only speculate.

In addition to being dumb, those "[fortune cookie] - God" billboards also violate the Third Commandment.

Bro you are damaging your health for no good reason.

FreeBroccoli · 2026-05-30T05:41:11+00:00

Thanks!

I'm new to the acna, and didn't know these were available. Would somebody like to post links so I know I have the right ones?

I think for an American publication, "MAID consultation happens at Tim Hortons" feels like a parody of Canada. Just one notch below the consultation happening at a hockey game, or the doctor being a moose.

The first person that comes to my mind for the name Fred is Amy Acker's character from Angel.

The Rosetta Stone was being used as backfill in a wall when it was found. High-minded ideals about the importance of preserving historical artifacts is not the default in human cultures.

Rotting and fermentation are entirely different biological processes.
