That should be a line in one of those comedy horror movies. "Oh God! He's speaking Scottish! Run!"

There are folks who just instantly down vote anything 3d printer related, I think it's a plastic waste thing?

An Amish boy on rumspringa decides that he wants to experience all that the English world has to offer, so he gets a date with a girl, and she suggests that he goes to the video store and gets them a porno to watch that night, before she takes his virginity.

Later that night he shows up at her apartment with a bottle of wine and a vhs. "What movie did you get us?" She asks,

Excitedly, he pulls out the vhs and says "this looks really sexy! It's called head cleaner!"

My older brother told me that joke as a kid. It was my first dirty joke. Lol

Does it have even fewer words?

Either way, I excitedly anticipate almost understanding the posts! Lol

EWS. Existing while socialist. Doesn't matter if you believe they are or aren't, they use the word, they're a shaky ally at best, an outright enemy when any kind of hackles get raised

Got the neighbor girl tariffed? Believe it or not, straight to tariffs.

They're also allowed to name their successors. If he's really as concerned with the direction of the church as he has claimed, you'd think he'd ensure who's gonna be wearing the fancy red shoes in the coming years. But honestly, I think he's not quite as concerned about that as he's lead on. He strikes as me as a radical centrist, it just looks progressive compared to so many of the others.

Thus the concern. Haha

David Graeber had a take on that before he died.

If you convince a billion people that you can breathe underwater, and then you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you'll drown.

If you convince a billion people you're the king of France... Then you're the king of France.

So the question becomes, how many Catholic friends do you have?

This is how I found out the Pope is in poor health.

Given how every election seems to out recently, they're probably going to seek out the vilest, most fascist, hardcore traditionalist they can find who thinks Vatican II was tantamount to a pagan takeover or some shit. Fuuuuck

An hour long call? I normally laugh at these, but nah, a fucking hour long call? Yeah, I need some prep and recoup time

Been planning on trying DMT for a while now. Me and my buddy (who is way more experienced) have agreed to do it together, with his girlfriend as trip sitter.

It'll be my first psychedelic, but I can't really try any of the others, as I have to be able to respond pretty quickly in emergency, in case my mom needs me, and the others all last hours. I'm excited and terrified.

People argue about human nature, wars, warlords, yada yada. But that is shit is so exceedingly rare to the literal hundreds of examples per day of people simply doing for others, even going out of their way, taking from themselves to do so, with absolutely no expectation of reward or thanks, simply because it brings us joy to be members of our community. Altruism is ingrained in us the way breathing is. It's automatic. So much so, we don't realize we're doing it. It's a detriment, in ways, if we were more aware of it, we might well be more able to recognize our natural ways, and be able to combat the bullshit propaganda. But as it stands, we don't even realize we're doing it.

:(

I try to explain to people how incredible that would be. I don't believe in pay it back or pay it forward. I believe in helping people because it's what we should be doing, it's the way society should function. I don't expect anything in return, and I don't want someone I help to pay it forward because I helped them, I want them to help others because it's what everyone should be doing at all times, so much as they are able to. Building the new within the shell of the old and all that

Where I used to live, there was an island with wild horses that would swim to the mainland occasionally (there was an actual event for this, but I'm not talking about that). You'd just be chilling on the beach, having a good day, when suddenly, a horse appears. It uses confusion. It is super effective. Everyone stares at it as it walks out of the waves, shakes like a dog, and then trots off. Very nearby was a pretty rural area, and anyone with horses in that area would tell stories about the island horses straight up stealing their horses, and them having to talk to state wild life department about it and get their horses back from the new wild horse's roving harem nearby in one of the swamps.

This works well with dogs, too. My little Monster (Monty is his Christian name, but he responds to Monty, Monster, Grumbles, and Little Boy) loves being sung to. He smashed his floppy, floppy ear against your face so you have to sing directly into it, and he howls when you get to a certain part of the song

Just because they'll eat you if you die doesn't mean they don't love you. It just means that cats do not believe the body and the soul are the same thing. Once the vessel is empty, it can be consumed to further strengthen those remaining. It is a thing of honor to nourish those you leave behind. The cats know this.

I'd go to billionaires and politicians, and give them panic dreams about burning in hell, haunt them during the day,band convince them that there is indeed an afterlife, and they are going to be tortured for eternity if they do not work to fundamentally restructure society to the benefit of the worker.

I'd also convince them that they have to publicly execute certain individuals

Calm down, Satan

Agree with everyone else. It's embarrassing, but it's not like you have to show them what's going on. Just tell them you need to see a doctor for it.

If you're really so uncomfortable telling them about this that you can't bring yourself to do it, then you could try telling them "I need to see a doctor. It's embarrassing, I don't want to discuss it, I just need to make an appointment. I'll handle the scheduling, I just need to know my insurance info* and a ride to the office"

*Or however that works where you are.

If you can reasonably do it, you may just be able to call and schedule it without their help.
