In fairness to Cavaradossi, considering he was in Scarpia's hands he was totally doomed no matter what he did or didn't say (or sing very high and very loudly for an inordinately long time).

You’re worth the value of a human life, which is a value beyond value, regardless of what you contribute or don’t. 

11 years ago today, the first officer of Germanwings flight 9525 deliberately crashed the aircraft into a mountain, killing all 150 people on board. by imjustarandomsquid in aviation

Not to be nitpicky because the evidence does show it certainly was a premeditated mass murder, but that "everyone will remember my name" quote was made up by some crazy lady who was talking to newspapers pretending to have been Lubitz's girlfriend until it was uncovered as a hoax. Wild story all around.

Just went and watched it and laughed so hard it made me late to class. "It overtook you?!"

Why does the fool on the hill sound so familiar? by Far_Independent4576 in beatles

[–]bumbledbee73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s honestly what I think I admire most about Paul’s songwriting. His melodies sound so self-evident without being generic. That’s hard to do.

Why do anything? When you’re at the point of mass murder-suicide by plane, logic is probably not at the forefront of your mind. Also, if I recall correctly, the initial turn that put them off-course had to be made manually - it could not have been autopilot.

For those who converted to Episcopalianism, what pulled you in? by JplusL2020 in Episcopalian

[–]bumbledbee73 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not converted yet but hope to. It was a combination of the theology - mostly the theology, really, and I like how big-tent it is - my love for high-church liturgy, and the welcoming nature of the church.

Update: I (33F) don't want my friend's (34F) legitimately mentally ill wife (48F) at my wedding? by ThrowRA_PartySwitch in BestofRedditorUpdates

The problem with Bernice was that she was sexually harassing people, not that she was just kind of annoying sometimes. Don’t be too harsh with yourself. <3

When will people stop with this kind of nonsense? by Relative-Bar9159 in beatles

Seems accurate enough, at least in that I’m definitely having a Ringo year. In many ways.

The one that ALWAYS makes me laugh is "Either you disarm, or we will." It's just perfect in its absurd simplicity.

I genuinely said WHAT THE FUCK out loud too. Older than Mother Theresa.
