This is why we need to make this happen! I can sub mit a few scripts myself to start really establishing the world, but I want to hear what other people have imagined this might be.

Yeah, I think something like 15 would be the perfect "fuck you" amount for something beyond Starbucks and fast food. Enough to make it worth going, but only really enough for an appetizer.

Or be really horrible and just take one of the 50 or 100 ones for a decent restaurant, and just don't get it activated. He won't find out until they try to run it, I think.

This might be the most horrible idea I've ever had.

The phrase is "One bad apple spoils the barrel."

Literally means all are bad if one is bad.

Edit: verb simplification.

I love this!

Red bean anything is awesome.

But those are clearly baked beans.

It's really not necessary to shame someone who is willing to learn.

There were curfews in walled towns like London: all citizens were expected to be home with their fires out once the church bells tolled nine. Or maybe it was eight. Anyway, to walk at night then was nefarious in itself, as there was absolutely nothing worth doing that wasn't nefarious after curfew.

Yes!

Honestly, left out the cannibalism so I didn't sound too crazy.

What a crazy context for this excerpt. Clear example of the depth of anti-semitism during this time period.

It is "A Jew" telling a Christian boy where to go in England once he gets there. While the boy thinks the Jew is looking out for him, he is actually sending him to be butchered by the Jews in Winchester, which he characterizes as the most moral place in England after he goes on and on about the wretchedness of all the other places in England the boy might come upon. He gives the boy a note to show to the Jews in Winchester, "written in Hebrew" so the boy doesn't actually know what it says. Boy gets to Winchester and does as told, then soon disappears. Clearly he's been killed by the Jews, but why they had to go to so much trouble to get him to Winchester is unclear.

Oh... Right... That's because this is all made up by Christians desperate for reasons to get rid of Jews.

Thank you. That is clearly the connection lost in my brain. Always appreciate you, guy!

Could you please explicitly state what you would like to be understood from this comment?

Mmm... Icees...

And Titanic! Wait... No.

Just... No.

Ugh, that's... Please, it can't be real.

And this last one is fucking beans. Of course.

But our weapons now can kill millions in an instant, and millions more subsequently. Missiles and such a regularly guided by Playstation controllers thousands of miles away.

Troy may have had a few thousand to massacre. We were more violent, but at least we actually had to face the violence we committed.

Edit: I did not mean this as an argument against what you shared. I can see why it might be read as such. I only meant to add another aspect to the conversation.

Especially since Nagasaki there has been a disinclination to trigger the kind of mass destruction that will occur with such a conflict.

No, like seriously, what's going on here? Is the Count cos playing Johnny Depp or something??

No, I got that. There's just no way to have this definition of God within the Abrahamic context. Literally, God said to Abraham, "I am the one true God, and I can do anything. Including making your barren wife bear a child. And now you all need to cut off your foreskin to show that you believe me. And that will be our covenant."

This why these religions are so prone to fascism and general hate. Anyone who isn't with our god is against us.

ETA: And by "our god" in the last sentence, I mean the very specific definition these very specific groups have decided to use for ole foreskin-wanting dude.

Hey! That's a great scene to remember it by. I'm going to to use this in my lesson about this verb next year. Students will love it.

I mean, what else is a woodland creature supposed to do??
