It's more that lovely people use their religion as a defense, and Christians (broadly) are still the majority faith in the United States, so things just sort of shake out that way.

It's a great strategy if you don't mind living in a barrel and being known as the masturbation hobo. What kind of sick burn can you lay on a guy who is fine with being the masturbation hobo? Any burn you can think of he can just go "yep" and grin. Impossible to score any points.

Aristippus passed Diogenes as he was washing lentils.

He said, “If you could but learn to flatter the king, you would not have to live on lentils.”

Diogenes said, “And if you could learn to live on lentils, you would not have to flatter the king.”

The postal service is literally required by the Constitution, iirc, hence why the Republicans haven't quite managed to gut it completely like anything else vaguely socialist that isn't the army, instead just defunding it to the bare minimum, seething all the while.

Are there any other Spanish words that are this close but this badly far off? It makes me laugh every time, and I hope nobody ever learn to proofread for ñ.

Probably every language has a "trap" word that can be mistranslated in a terrible way. Wasn't there a specific English word that kept being translated to Korean as "gently caress" because of it's pronunciation?

It’s how journalists use commas.

A headline on the Chicago Tribune’s home page right now:


<subject> did one thing, did other thing


It’s the same format as the blackbelt headline.

Reminds me of a story I heard on NPR recently about someone who burgled a museum to get rare feathers for fly fishing lures. There's an entire community that makes them as they're described in books from the 1800s or whatever and a lot of the materials those recipes call for are from species that are now protected.

i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave”
