Got anxiety? No you don't. Need to study for a test? Your new photographic memory says otherwise. Wish you could play a game again for the first time? Can't wait to play that new game I just heard about, it's gotten all kinds of praise!
It feels more like a possibly stolen sketch to me. Hand-drawn raccoon but generic stars and font that come with photoshop or whatever for the text gives it an incongruence that sets off the uncanny valley feel that AI art usually gives me.
I mostly take "offense" (not really) at Johnny saying that he's "the best there's ever been." It's a pretty conceited statement to declare yourself the best at anything in all of history, even if it's true.
It's one thing to be proud of your accomplishments and skill. It's an entirely different thing to declare yourself mankind's crowning achievement in the world of fiddle playing.
And Hell was first mentioned during the Medieval period. Sometime around the 1200s, I believe? The first versions of the Bible said that Lucifer was cast into Tartarus, where the Greek gods imprisoned the Titans.
The Bible itself is a collection of interpretations and stories across a span of hundreds of years. Jesus says that the Old Testament is null and void in the Bible, and then John later on says that the Old Testament is still in effect and that's not what Jesus meant and that he knows Jesus better than his disciples did, despite living over a hundred years later.
The King James version of the Bible was edited to be a piece of pro-monarchy propaganda that was published at a time when many monarchies were literally losing their heads. The history of Christianity can essentially be summed up as hundreds of years of groups arguing over whose head-canon is right.
Regardless of what you and I think of the 7 deadly sins, they are an established part of the religion and make this contrarian interpretation of the song work. Personally, though, I much prefer Jesus's mindset of throwing tables, beating up the rich, and telling people who blame women wearing revealing outfits for their own moral failings to tear out their own eyes so they stop.
Johnny committed the sin of Pride when he said that he's the best, and the sin of Greed when he coveted that gold fiddle.
The Devil got what he wanted as soon as Jonny accepted the bet.
It's a little sad to see Mass on there, I gotta look up what got banned. I'm assuming it was in some deeply red school district as there's some surprisingly conservative areas of the state.
I need the Tumblr clown husbandry fandom to weigh in on this - do clowns lay eggs or live-birth?
I would forever shame my friend if I didn't get that one right.
Based on what my true-crime cult obsessed friend has said on the matter, option 2 is probably the most likely; though the party at large will always rally behind whoever the nominee is, because that's how Republicans operate.
DeSantis already tried to court the cult of Trump, and he failed because these cults of personality are entirely fixed around their leader. As my buddy described it, it's not like a hydra where you can cut the head off and the cult keeps going. Once the leader is gone, they fizzle out. Even in the case of endorsing a successor, I can't imagine the group having the same kind of following for the same reason - without Trump, the Flavor-Aid sours. There will be new leaders, but they'll have to work to sway the core voters in the way that Trump has. And the Flavor-Aid is a perfect metaphor, because Trump sounds exactly like Jim Jones according to my friend.
Seeing an account you follow posted on a different social media platform is a weird experience. Like seeing somebody you vaguely know from work at the grocery store.
With a map 4 times larger than the previous entry, with 17 times the detail. Also comes with a canvas* bag.
As somebody who worked at a fish market in New England once upon a time, this broke my brain almost as badly as Manhattan style clam chowder.
A shame, but I just grabbed a photo off Google anyways. If you're curious, you can find plenty of them with a quick search, but it's basically a tiny two-man tank about the size of a modern SUV at most.
What you see in the photo is the remains of the tank chassis, with a machine mounted roughly in the middle and the open driver's hatch next to it. Above that should be a turret, but that's clearly missing and the engine in the back looks like it was crushed by something.
It's definitely the early gun, they had a very distinct curved mantlet with both the flanges on the side of the cannon barrel and a notch on one side of the bottom edge, and the newer guns had that large muzzle brake on them.
What's harder to tell from that angle is whether it's an M4A2 or some other variant. I think it's the A2 based on the little piece of metal that goes all the way around the neck of the turret on the body there, but the best way to tell would be a quick look at the front corners. The A2 and newer tanks had a welded body with a sharp corner and easily visible weld lines where the front plate meets the side, while the first Shermans had a full one piece cast steel body that had curved edges to it.
I thought it would've been for you and the Linux guy to grab the people in first class to feed to the wolves...
Part of growing up is getting to a point where you don't care what is or isn't cringe. That's where dad jokes come from.
It's easy to misread as stalker/abuser behavior, as it's worded simply and without context, and something like 40% of women will have to deal with a stalker at some point in their life.
There's a big difference between "I had a crush on her, she invited me to a thing and her friends liked me and now we're married" and "I wrote down the times this girl got out of work and when she went to the gym so that I could follow her and hit on her there, and then I infiltrated her group of friends with the intent of getting closer to her" but it's easy to accidentally make the first sound like the second unintentionally - especially when people are primed to watch out for the second.
Yeah, probably an older form of agnosticism. But they were very clear in their opposition to a religious state. It was why England separated from the Catholic church, and why many groups emigrated to the US - freedom of religion (or freedom from it).
To avoid bias, they should probably post this quote from Thomas Jefferson next to it:
If God truly does exist, then he more so loves the atheist who questions the world around him than the Christian who blindly follows.
More than half of the Founding Fathers were agnostic or atheists, and separation of church and state was one of the key principles in their doctrine.
