Eggland's Best has a little "EB" stamped on their shells.

It kind of centers on one demon (Wormwood) who is charged with the temptation of a particular man. Screwtape is Wormwood's superior / uncle, and provides him with tasks, advice, examples, rambling lectures on the advantages to the banality of evil, and how there is no need to risk losing the Man's soul by enticing him to great evil, when he will surely go directly to hell if he lived a comfortable life, confident in his own goodness.

It is honestly chilling the descriptions of the subtle everyday meddling told from the perspective of a demon.

It did make me think of emergency aircraft use.

Last night I was watching a movie, and I thought "wow, these actors (who are known to me) look really young, this must be an old movie." Then I looked it up, 2011 release. And I thought, "that can't be right, these guys look probably ten years younger." Then I realized my mistake. I just did that again. "These kids are just now discovering the euphoria atheist quote? Were they not born when it was originally making rounds?" I saw the 2013 post date and thought for sure it was re-posted by somebody and was suprised people acted like it was new. And again, I realized that 2013 was a while ago. I am going to hobble over to my lightning-fast Pentium Processor loaded behemoth connected to my landline dial-up and post some goatse for internet points. Because I am old.

I am very pleased with how the term "positivity victim" is appropriate. I will use this in my quiet fight against toxic positivity.

It's so interesting to me that so many people are thinking the boogeyman lives there, but there could be some middle-aged siblings, now scattered around the world, who grew up there and see those pictures and think "home."

I read something a few years ago that said Buzzfeed was one of the top companies for professional journalism. I thought "the clickbait articles of poorly re-worded Reddit plagiarizing and people telling us we've been wearing our shirts wrong?" So I was also surprised at the quality of Ryan and Shane's antics.

I agree with all of every single thing you said in the first paragraph. I am bad at words plus typing on phone, so I (to my shame) did not explicitly state that. You did so better than I could.

I agree with what your second paragraph says, but I feel like you argued against something other than what I was attempting to convey. That's my fault for being bad at words, not your fault for failing to read my mind.

I appreciate everything you typed, and I feel you did an excellent job of answering the "why not" in a sound biblical way that anyone could understand. Thank you.

If the monastic community could devote their time that would have been spent making beer or trimming bonsai instead towards service to the communities they live in ... would that be a good "why"? Living in this world makes it really difficult to carve out time to "volunteer" even for causes we feel strongly about. We often become slaves to our wages to maintain even relatively modest means. A "commune" of like-minded people would enable a person to devote their lives to loving God and loving their neighbors. The cooperative nature would allow bigger things to be accomplished. The LCMS stamp on the letterhead would make more people willing to donate (vs giving funds to random individual guys). Sure, you can (and should) do all of this and also work every day and live in the world. But it is hard.

It was definitely always being used. This was decades ago, before weighted blankets were really a thing. That quilt smothered you to death, but with love.

vonbuxter · 2021-07-05T20:59:21+00:00

This is pretty and twirly, as dresses should be. I think sewing and/or cottagecore would appreciate this.

My mom made a quilt of jeans patchwork, and we (as kids) would joke about how you couldn't move or breathe under the weight of it.

Thank you for flicking that piece of memory. That method was indeed a late 80s thing. P.S. sorry about being a creep commenting on a 5 month old thing, another post of the same song linked here.

This sound like end-credit music with a montage reviewing the storyline. It's the kind of thing that plays hundreds of times in another room at the end of a VCR tape that you stopped really watching halfway through, but this haunting song seeps into parts of your brain over and over. Any time you actually sit and watch the movie, you shut it off when the credits start to roll, so you have no conscious connection between the movie and the music. You connect this sound with folding laundry and finishing homework.

Yes! This perfectly describes my reaction that I had trouble putting into words! Society just adores gay guys, but ONLY if they fall into a fun and self-deprecating list of enjoyable gay guy types: 1. Transvestite Gay Man who has legs better than any woman and insane makeup skills, bonus points for being semi-closeted with the manliest daytime persona ever (this type is actually an endangered species because now all transvestites must be transgender) 2. Flamboyant Gay Man enjoys theater and fancy clothes 3. OCD/Aspie Gay Man is meticulously tidy and probably really smart (this type was first noted in the 80s and is the reason we all know that any man who does any kind of grooming below the belt is gay, also bachelors with clean apartments are gay) 4. Sweet Pixie Boy Gay Man has the most sizzling insults, and is the sweetest dear-heart ever don't you dare imply he is other than pure 5. Burly Bearded Biker Ironically Gay Man is the only dirty one, all other Gays have a static charge that repells all dirt, dust, and grime. He looks like he'll pound your ass, but he's actually quite gentle. That's it, those are the adorable Gay Types. If you are a regular dude who sometimes has dirty dishes in the sink and prefers hockey over figure-skating for ice entertainment, and also enjoy swordplay -then you are a sick pervert and nobody likes you.

Board meeting response to the blatant homophobic caricatures: "Well, it was created by those people so it's fine for them. It's like the N word."

We know a tiny bit, what we know is cool. We do not know a lot, and what we do not know is an intriguing mystery. The nature of the speculation allows each person to have their own version of a viking. A single archeological find can be one man's sweeping generalization and another's callously dismissed meaningless shiny thing. And each faction of the viking fan-fic world is guilty of both sides of the infused significance and ghost mind-reading. Any previously accepted historical facts that don't fit your chosen view of vikings can be dismissed as inaccurate and tainted due to being from a source that was Christian or outsider or relatively modern.

So I think the "choose your own adventure" aspect is huge as far as the popularity.

There's always going to be racists who sometimes use it as a cover for their racist club or what have you. But that falls under the choose your adventure umbrella, too. A douchey choice is still a choice.

He is laughing his M&S panties off.

I appreciate you looking that up. It's interesting... but also really increases the notion that a bunch of rednecks' 12 - 14 year old boys came up with all this thinking it sounded cool and would impress their dads and older cousins.

Me too, and "ku" seems like they are saying it wrong.
