How the gently caress do you read the Bible and come away with that loving filth, I want to ask, but i know the answer is literally "none of them read the Bible, they get told by a preacher what to believe and HE'S basing that on what makes him money"

Because they're Montanists — something actually declared heretical in 230CE, well before the Council of Nicea, but that the theologians among these arseholes keep digging up and thinking "hey, these dudes were p cool, we're their modern inheritors!" — who've developed that particular line of bullshit further into a kind of Manichaean witchcraft.

See them gliding along the rails
Under the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the legs rising up
Are so high
And rolling out and on the four line track
There's a gyro rolling on its back
On its back
And I sense a rhythm humming in a frenzy
All the way round its frame

Trains on stilts

I will say, moving around the country is eye opening.

When I moved to NYC from the midwest, they had assigned seating. I don't do that poo poo so when people asked me to move I had to put my pants back on and shuffle away while drinking the pint I brought in. They didn't care about the pint but they did care about the pants.

When I moved from NYC to Frisco, they cared about the assigned seat like New Yorkers but not the pants being off. The pint? That was unacceptable. Even when I was in my seat, me drinking some booze by myself was unacceptable.


When I moved from Frisco to Oakland, I found my people. Nobody gives a poo poo about anything. When I'm at Grand Lake occasionally someone wants to share popcorn and there is a surprise for me. I've found my people.

That is also how you enjoy Test cricket, the one that can last like 5 days (5 half-days, technically)

The perfect way to enjoy the Test doesn't involve the television. Instead, it's Test Match Special on Radio 4. But apart from that, there's little difference.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself. I really don't understand why there are even still celebrities dumb enough to do this. Do they get off on going commando in public? Did they have a quickie in the limousine and didn't want to walk around in wet panties all day long? It's kind of a mystery to me.

Thinking cops actually solve crimes is where everyone makes their first mistake. They are usually between 40-60% at solving murders (lovely record keeping makes it very hard to get accurate statistics) and "solve" means they felt they had enough evidence to charge someone, not convict, and god knows the cops have never charged a crime on an innocent person because they were black and in the area. Every other crime has even worse rates of "solving."

The polis killing people ups their solve numbers, even as none of the fuckers go to jail for it.

Yeah but spoilers used to be about major plot points/twists, but now spoilers are just about any detail

I think this is the important point that's frequently lost by the "NO SPOILERS" crowd, many of whom think even a basic description of a piece of media is a spoiler.

Take Control, for example. The connection to Alan Wake was a nice touch but hardly a major twist (come on, it's a Remedy game, of course it's going to have that), and both Jesse becoming Director and Polaris being Hedron are a given if you have any idea of how narratives work. So those aren't particularly big spoilers, but yeah, I can see why some people would not want to see them beforehand. That Jesse can fly and fling forklifts at people isn't a loving spoiler despite what a bunch of people claim because it's a key premise of the entire game.

The biggest spoiler would be telling someone what happens in the Ashtray Maze. That, you just don't do.

"I wake up at 6 AM"

OK, is this an American thing that has spread to the rest of the world (hell, I have seen people who wake up at 5 AM). Whenever I wake up at 6AM I stay in bed for over an hour or more. Yes, I admit I live fairly close to my workplace but there are people who do WFH with this schedule. Why the hell would anyone wake up at 6AM if they didn't absolutely need to? And what time do they go to bed? 10 PM?

People who go on about how great it is to wake up early are like vegans, in that as soon as someone voices a contrary opinion they won’t shut the gently caress up about how good the early morning is.

I loving hate mornings. The only reason I tolerate 9-5 rather than working 11-7 is that so much of the world assumes that everyone’s on the same schedule, so things like band rehearsals usually start at 7.

I know from spending chunks of time not working that my natural rhythm is to wake up at 10 and sleep at 2, and I’m not fully awake or able to focus until after midday.

5am is the time when you get in from a late night out, not for waking up.
