Thanks! That dust on the floor I’m guessing is basically poison, lye and the ashes from other offerings. That’s wild.
Is there a verse specific to when life begins? I’ve read that it’s upon drawing breath, but that’s the part I haven’t been able to find.
I imagine it was probably larger before it was… Dried out.
Also, 8 inches by 2 inches is pretty fucking large. I say this as someone who has had 8 inches back there.
Ooh, you don’t happen to know a verse for this, do you? I’ve heard this before and tried to Google it, but my Google fu is lacking and I just end up finding right wing nut job websites.
… Well. This is why you don’t open Lemmy at 3am. A hard lesson to learn. Especially at 3am.
Which one do we get the eyes from?
These are clearly characters from studio ghibli’s take on Night at the Museum.
My guess, kami. Definitely kami.
This is the way. This is the way of light and goodness.
I was gonna ask!
Getting my bachelor’s online, and I just had to use Chicago style for the first time. I’d only used APA before now.
Holy shit did I love it. Erhmhagerd, it was so great.
Yes! OMG, this is gonna be great!
Oh my God. Okay, so I have to DM a campaign starting next month. I am not an experienced DM, and ive been trying to figure out what I want my world to be like.
I’ve just figured it out. It’s gonna be a steam punk style world, but instead of being alternate Victorian era based on steam tech, it’s gonna be alternate Middle ages based on the vampire piston engine. Perpetual slurry sealed it for me. OMG, the outrage is gonna be real, and I love it!
Now, the question is, which of the deities/religions is gonna represent the Catholic Church (who is the main driving force behind the vampire slurry engine)…
Yeah, totally unreasonable for people to have seating options. I mean the downsides are just so numerous…
I think their point is that even in situations that able bodied people might consider to have “ample seating,” it may not be enough for those with disabilities. 3 minutes of walking between benches, I’d say, would probably be considered pretty ample seating by most city planners. It would be no where near enough for my dad, or for my mom before she went full time in the wheelchair. One solution to this could be something along the lines of the little carts they have at Walmart, but like, owned by the city and able to be checked out for free, combined with some people with mobility issues actually getting a say in how the city is planned out, and where the ramps and stuff are for the sidewalks.
They’re right, foraminifera pics are far too spicy for main. I nearly became overheated here on this public bus.
Couple of small issues, but overall I do actually agree with you here.
It currently is our primary season. We just don’t get to have primaries, because the democratic party has decided we don’t deserve a choice, because somehow Biden is the only person on the planet able to defeat the devil… Somehow… The time to find progressive candidates is, according to the DNC checks notes never. Yeah. Never.
We’re not allowed a primary because it could potentially weaken Biden in the general. A stronger candidate would be bad. That’s the logic.
Secondly, as far as third party voting goes, if you’re in a red or blue state, it literally doesn’t count. The electoral college system prevents any protest vote from actually being considered. The only time it could sway anything is in a swing state, where it is unlikely to actually matter except in very close races. If you’re in a swing state, you have, IMHO, a moral obligation to vote for the democratic candidate, because while they may suck, they suck less than literal fascists. Otherwise, if you’re in a solid blue or red state, vote away however you wish, and use that to help push a narrative.
Are you in college, or do you have a friend who is? Often you can sign in through your college’s library for access.
Perhaps not, and far be it from me to defend electoral politics, being an anarchocommunist, but voting isn’t necessarily a negative thing. If it’s your only political action then you’re playing directly into the hands of those in power, but voting green, or voting for actually progressive candidates within the democratic party can have the effect of moving the Overton window and creating conversation. Think about how much more popular things like universal healthcare are because of Bernie. While Bernie may not be as far left as I am, and while it’s questionable if he would actually do, or be able to do, the things he wants (or claims to want, if we’re going full jade), being on the ballot, garnering national attention has had a palpable impact on US politics. The democratic party literally had to call off the primaries in 2020 for fear the socialist who was effectively running the country during the early days of a pandemic might actually do something aboit healthcare and get elected. Since then they’ve had to push a “but trump!” Narrative to scare anyone else from even running.
Yeah, politicians suck nasty ass, but expressing a view, a show of numbers, that you prefer one style to the other can and does have an impact. It just shouldn’t be the only thing we do, that’s what they want us to do. Mutual aid, direct action, and spend 1 day to vote.
Generally, you should use a cloth tape measure to measure dick. There are instructions online if you look.
Also, 8 inches to the hilt is often not pleasant, so work with your partner and learn how deep your sigmoid colon is, and take it slow. Big ol’ dick slamming into a wall is not fun unless you are very particularly into it.
