Whenever I get through two options with this, I say, “Okay, you pick. I don’t really want to play this game. If you don’t want to pick I’ll make one of the first offers.”

Represents‽ No they are the body and blood of santa

Bah. You Catholics and your Transubstantiation, and the Evangelicals and their Memorialism, are both wrong.

The body and blood of Santa are present in, with, and under the cookies and milk.

I actually don’t disagree. That’s certainly the connotation that comes with “terrorism.”

It’s also not how the legal definition works, unfortunately, which is just vague enough to let the FBI decide what is and isn’t terrorism based on how they feel about something. As I understand it, anyway. And since what he did falls under the legal definition, they can charge him with it.

Shit, is it Wednesday? I thought it was Friday!

The perpetrator of an act of terrorism isn’t part of the definition. They need not be affiliated with a group or military.

I find it curious how many people on Lemmy were gleefully posting about CEOs and billionaires being scared because of this attack, and then to see push-back about the label of terrorism (where fear is part of the outcome, hence the name).

The saying is “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” right?

So if you offer a black person a pink Jolly Rancher it’s racist?

Edit: I’m so confused by the downvotes. Isn’t that what the Venn Diagram is saying? That watermelon-flavored Jolly Ranchers are racism?

I personally can’t even understand how this can be funny.

I think because the expected outcome is that he’s taking her home to rape her, but instead he’s turned her into bacon?

It’s comedic because of the subversion of expectation. Not because the subject matter is in any way funny (it isn’t).

I like Ubuntu Mono but I’ll admit it’s a bit flashy for a code font.

Well then define non-combatants.

“a person who is not engaged in fighting during a war, especially a civilian, chaplain, or medical practitioner.”

Sure he was responsible for deaths due to denying health coverage. But he’s still a civilian.

Mizz and DotGov was such a good joke in a show absolutely filled to the brim with good jokes.

Psychic interrupting cow who?

“Apateu, apateu”

Korean for “Apartment, apartment”

my wife threatened divorce if I “cluttered” our house with all the books.

Storms, that would drive me nuts. Then again, I don’t have 1800 books. 😅

Being kind is its own reward. Life is generally better if you try to make life better for others. Not like life will be perfect, but better than it would be otherwise.

Like, when I used to work shitty part-time jobs, if I went in with a good attitude and was as kind to those around me as I could be, I had a better day than if I was grumpy and did the bare minimum. Got paid the same shitty wage either way, but my life was better when I was kinder. Sure some people take advantage of that kindness, but most will reflect it back to you.

There can be ways that hard work and kindness lead to material rewards. But in general it is worth being kind simply because you’ll enjoy life more.

(Also, I wouldn’t have married my wife if I hadn’t been kind and befriended someone a lot of other people thought was frustrating or annoying. I had met my wife previously, but only knew her in passing. Years later, we re-met at that friend’s birthday party. Started dating a few months later, and now we’re married! That mutual friend can still sometimes be frustrating or annoying, but we always try to be kind to her because that’s what brought us together.)

What most people don’t know about Voldemort? Pretty good at karaoke. Not great, but surprisingly better than you thought.

In avada kedavra, honey
Don’t you know that I’m lovin’ you
In avada kedavra, baby
Don’t you know that I’ll always be true!

I remember being able to run a private World of Warcraft server on my computer back in like, 2009. Surely if WoW can be reverse-engineered, so can many other titles.

But yes, it would obviously be better if they’d just open-source it.

I appreciate your concern but I’m not looking to hear some kind of abstinence lecture.

Not that I have any horse in this race, but for the record there’s a profound difference between abstinence and moderation, and if you don’t think there are gradations between “alcoholic levels of ethanol consumption” and “no alcohol consumption,” then perhaps they have a point.

Be good to yourself, my friend.

I’ve seen a setup like this where it made sense. Not nearly a long enough run for proper steps, but alternating half-steps allow you to get height faster. But this just seems like they did it for fun.
