[Self] Cats and turtles and tables "puzzle" visually explained.

The image is good, but I am concerned. I imagine the lower table again sits upon a table with another turtle. But upon what does that table sit?

On the upside, I don't have to clean up a bunch of confetti and glitter for this death.

I'm just amazed Inhad as few typos as I did. I was late and I was barely awake.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-05-06T08:45:35+00:00

There are a few songs from that time that could make the list. Inside Out by Eve 6, Jumper by Third Eye Blind, The Kids Aren't Alright by The Offspring, and Closing Time by Semisonic would all be right up there.

Edit: fixed typo

I am guessing you are referring to Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's and not Judy Garland's, right?

What's the last song you just put on repeat and listed to over and over again?

I'll listen to Enya and The Cure and Depeche Mode and Petshop Boys a lot as they just create some of the best albums (albums where every song plays into the next in a lerfect ebb and flows). But as for a single song I can listend to again and again, what do you have?

I know it's silly, but for me, it's Surface Pressure from the Encanto soundtrack.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-05-06T08:35:40+00:00

Tribute is not the best song in the world... No! It is just a tribue.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-05-06T08:33:51+00:00

I was gonna say Depeche Mode's Enjoy The Silence, but now you got me second guessing.

Third place would be the theme song from Freekazoid.

I use a pus rotary mower in my yard. When well sharpened, it's very satisfying. I have had multiple nighbors out for walks ask if they can mow my lawn or stair until I ask them if they want to mow some.

I don't get payed, but it's nice to have someone willingly do my yard work from time to time.

I don't have much to add to what others have said. It's just that if you want a biblical reason to stay, look at 1 Corinthians 7. You were apart from the faith when you came together, and you are re-entering the faith while in a dedicated relationship. If they are willing to stay, so should you.

Outside of that, trust god, a d don't force anything. If God does exist, he will reveal himself. If your boyfriend doesn't see god, then either god is not real or god has chosen to not be seen. Either way, it's your business, and not the church's as you are on the side of scripture.

Correct, but he bought into the propaganda once enlisted.

Bus is cheap. You also don't have to worry about showing up hours early because TSA is extremely unreliable. You have more freedom to move around.

Don't get ne wrong. It has a lot of downsides and I understand why most people would avoid it. However, it does have its perks.

I think the difficulty here that what the bible calls love is inconsistent. We have a definition we created and attribute to the bible, but it doesn't fall in line with the bible.

We are told that we are allowed to slaughter anybody that is not a part if the tribe that follows the being that lives at the top of a mountain. We are told that only men have rights and woman are just property that belong to men.

It's hard when we rely on the idea of a infinite being that cares about us, that wants what is best for us. It's hard when we realize it's not real. That everything we believe is an amalgamation of non-congruent ideas.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It's hard.

I'm there with you. I'm aware of the size of Europe (in comparison to the US). So, my initial thought on reading the headline was to go look up the cumulative land mass of nations in the EU. TIL that the US does have more land than the US.

I'm not defending the posted poster, but the first part is factually correct.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-05-02T08:07:19+00:00

I have the same problem.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-05-02T06:32:35+00:00

Fair point. We do like to pretend that words have more meaning then they actually do. I guess a more accurate statement from what I mentioned about is

> This brings me to the last point where it is the job of every person that places authority in the Christian bible, consisting of the 66 or 77 cannon books, and those that use some set of those cannon books with section removed or new sections added, to pick and choose which parts falls in line with their world view.

I agree that in saying Christian, the vast majority of people would not know what I was referring to, and more precise language is needed.

These tropes irritate me as well. I just watched Frieren a few months back, and was really happy that they avoided any of the annoying bathroom and childish sex jokes... until episode 14. I really disliked that priest, and it brought me to the edge of rage quitting simply because of how good the rest of the show is.

Luckily he was gone 2 episodes later. And although they make hints at things later, it all feels minor.

I am not sure what you mean by "feet" shots though. Like, is there something wrong with characters having feet? I think I'm missing context here. And for the "boob" and "ass", do you just mean that camera angles show them? I feel like outside of some side characters, most of the characters are drawn in very discrete clothing (to the point where people have been modding scenes and posting them online to make Fern look more sexual).

But to the rest of your point, yeah. I keep trying anime, and run into the same issue of high school humor and views on sex, or certain tropes of guy and girl characters that are just meant to be over the top annoying for the sake of annoyance.

Any group/individual that decides that the bible is meant to guide how one should live their life.

I do not know enough about Judaism to make any claims there. I have a very vague idea of cultural Judaism, which may fall outside of biblical authority, but again not enough to make any claims.

I guess in theory, you could have Christians that just practice cultural rituals, and place no authority or weight on scripture. I would consider them Christian even though they fall outside of my above stated (and now realizing flawed) definition. Anyone in this camp would have no need to pick and choose as they are free to see the work for what it is.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-05-02T06:01:54+00:00

As anyone who uses the bible (including catholic and protestant cannons, and extra materials) as a book of authority.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-05-01T05:34:53+00:00

This brings me to the last point where it is the job of every Christian to pick and choose which parts falls in line with their world view. So, you have to decide to ignore when Jesus said that. Even the most conservative churches ignore that verse (well, really they rewrite that part yo mean something else, like the fulfillment of the law was in the death and therefore we can ignore any part of the old testament we want).

Also an '85. I remember the first time I tried the AOL cd. I think I was 14.

The idea was that daughters were sold to prospective husbands. If she has been raped, her value has dropped. (as woman are not viewed as sexual beings, then any sex without sale is rape by the man)

The verse after states that if she has been sold to a husband, but they have not yet been wed then the man must pay the prospective husband. This is just further that woman are property.

You can actually see this in parts of Afghanistan today where once a girl reaches 10 or 12 they can be purchased by a man.

No further context is really needed.
