So, Peter at the gates comes from a more or less literal interpretation from the passage where Jesus was making Peter the first pope. “To you I hand the keys to the kingdom of heaven….”

What Jesus was saying is that Peter got to decide who was in the Blood Ritual Cannibal Club,

Keep in mind, the books were written well after Jesus died, and the scriptures weren’t canonized until 300 years later; at the council of Nicaea- which was called specifically to “unify” the church. A lot of the choices about what was canon or not was specifically made to protect the bulk of the bishop’s authority (by drawing a straight lineage of succession from Peter.)

I certainly get the impulse to kill Clippy.

Dude was an asshole. “Oh it looks like you’re trying to finish a school report at 5 am, let me delete that for you!”

I’m thinking it’s trying to say:

(2/6) + (1/6) = (3/6) = (4/6) - (1/6)

But either in “colloquial English for those who want to give other people aneurysms” or “colloquial English for those trying to sound smarter but aren’t”

Basically that the degree of difference between a half and a third is the same degree of difference between a half and two thirds- and that degree of difference is “one part”.

but... I don't want to save the world from red pandas.

I want to leave, and dying from cuteness overload sounds like not such a bad way to go.

I honestly forget where I saw it, it was one of the “Isn’t it past your jail time?” variants.

Die from cuteness overload?

I saw a clever, snarky shirt that I thought might be amusing to wear.

But yeah. It’s weird alright. Especially since you know they’ll be always wearing it. (Or another maga shirt.)

I like this idea, too.

Donate it to something like habitat for humanity.

Everybody talks about Hitlers camps, nobody talks about America doing the EXACT SAME THING, ROUGHLY AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Not that the internment camps were or are defensible, but we weren’t gasing Japanese Americans or driving them out by the truck/trainload and shooting them in the woods.

Yes, some died in the camps- roughly 1,600, but none through and intentional and concerted effort to exterminate an entire race, with the number of Jews dying in nazis germany roughly 6,000,000.

You don’t need to be hyperbolic. The internment camps were bad enough on their own; but they were not the same as the holocaust.

 
 

Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..

Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.

 

Snow on Thursday.
