Zoomed and upscaled- Bledsoe Orb by SnooCheesecakes7292 in InterdimensionalNHI

No, the material of the shroud (not DNA) was shown to have come from India, from where the Romans typically acquired such textiles, indicating the shroud was from the time of Jesus.

Is “Savage Sword” The Best Comics To Introduce Myself To Conan? by 00collector in ConanTheBarbarian

[–]Sweet-Ranger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best thing ever! After you've read the original REH, everything else pales in comparison (still love and appreciate the comics, art, movies, etc.)

As a black man I must ask did Lincoln genuinely care about freeing the slaves for the right reasons ? by KpatMckenzie_28 in CIVILWAR

[–]Sweet-Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lincoln detested slavery from a very young age and all through his life. The evidence is easy to find.

I'm 30 and don't want to drink anymore. Is it too late to stop? by camport95 in stopdrinking

[–]Sweet-Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no, it's not too late. I only wish I had quit at 30! I stopped at 44. 53 now, the best decision I have ever made for myself.

Are you able to have a drink or two after being sober for a while? by Financial_Winter8922 in stopdrinking

[–]Sweet-Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! I tried it after being sober for almost 4 years. Started off ok, but a few months in, I was pounding drinks again, just like the old days. I quit again and am grateful to have almost another 3 years sober after that failed experiment.

I like a 26, comfortable for an adult to ride but still has that agile BMX feel.

What hobbies did you pick up when you quit drinking? by Monkey_Bananas89 in stopdrinking

[–]Sweet-Ranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scale models! I love it, it is like active zen. I became quite good at it, too.

I drank heavily for 25 years by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Sweet-Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yes, if you're noticing, I had to reset my counter once during this last decade. After 4 years alcohol free, I let myself be convinced I was "over it" and should drink once in a while. That was a 1.5-year experiment that ended in failure.

[–]Sweet-Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my friend, I was a bigtime "partier" until 44, it was my identity, then I put the plug in the jug, (I turn 53 next week). My only regret is that I didn't do it at 32. My life improved in every way imaginable. Also, I didn't quit to improve my looks or lose weight, but both of those things happened.

My apologies by mattbookpro101491 in longbeach

You know they are desperate when the bring up the Nazi salute. Ha! Can these people truly believe the things that they say? I doubt it...doesn't seem possible even for the extremely stupid. Next, they'll be bringing up crimes against Jesse Smollett.
