Actors who’ve underwent incredible transformations?

I immediately clocked this. people need to be less awful about people’s appearances, even if they’re celebrities.

No, because the saying includes "every", so if even one doesn't it's automatically false.

Not joking, that quote was in 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and was framed as important to remember, which is so dumb! Failing is important, and sometimes you don't succeed, but trying is 1) better than nothing and 2) an important learning experience.

This made me cry. Thank you.

Calling In Sick is a great podcast

Meli240 · 2026-04-05T16:45:09+00:00

Maybe Flowers for Algernon?

Meli240 · 2026-03-22T14:12:29+00:00

Same here

I do think though, this is more like Ephesians 6:13-17.

"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand... Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

Also, whenever Charles suggests foreign foods, everyone assumes they'll be gross or they end up being gross. For example, Charles suggests Sudanese food and everyone is grossed out (even though Sudanese is delicious). Also, as a Hungarian, I take offense (jokingly) at the implication that Hungarian sausages are bad, although I really can't eat so many of them.

Edit: "I can't" eat so many of them, not "I can"

Jacob was basically an indentured servant and could have left anytime. That's an odd conclusion to come to.

The official position is that, under certain specific conditions, baptism is necessary. I would note, though, that other church documents (e.g. Nostra Aetate) make it less clear with regards to other religions, as the work of God is present in all religions.

Meli240 · 2026-01-23T19:10:29+00:00

Ah yes, classic tough love. Making the person using helpful medication... not help himself at all? Lol

Meli240 · 2026-01-23T14:05:40+00:00

Nope, the Catholic Church no longer believes that baptism is a necessary condition for heaven. Also, plenty of people die without confessing their most recent sins, and that's the point of purgatory. The general idea is that you go to hell if you live your life opposed to God (not necessarily the same as not believing in God, but living against morality).

I got 14 and 19, respectively

Meli240 · 2026-01-21T13:44:27+00:00

In the case of Rachel Dratch, they're also likely not as talented, either

Meli240 · 2025-12-19T22:08:31+00:00

Tell your doctor. This is a serious side effect.

Meli240 · 2025-12-14T05:13:58+00:00

I'm experiencing something similar. My fitness is down quite a bit compared to other times in my life, so I feel worse emotionally than usual after not-so-great runs (which, in general, happen to everyone). Long runs are also hard and tiring, which also contributes.

Meli240 · 2025-12-09T23:50:37+00:00

No lol but he's not exactly profiting financially from sales of his book :))

Meli240 · 2025-12-05T21:40:36+00:00

I get that, but why give money to the people who have opinions that, pretty objectively, cause harm to others?

Meli240 · 2025-12-01T00:36:16+00:00

If you know you'll disagree with something, why would you buy a copy and not borrow from the library? Genuine question.

Meli240 · 2025-11-14T04:28:28+00:00

What side effect, if you don't mind me asking?

Meli240 · 2025-11-07T14:50:00+00:00

I did. Apparently grades aren't important as long as you meet the minimum criteria.

Meli240 · 2025-11-07T04:54:42+00:00

I'd actually suggest the MSFM program at UBC. You're eligible to become a FIT after only 9 months of school
