Hey folks, is this where the old farts are hanging out? Point me toward the bathroom, I'll be a while.

I bet they're measuring from the back of the building.

No, it's just a water-walking horse.

Being a pirate is alright with me!

If someone is trying to use a particular text to justify their shitty behavior, the ability to point to that very text can be useful when criticizing their actions.

If nothing else, either you or they will probably learn something from the interaction.

Non-Christian and non-Bible person here, but I think it's probably best to be accurate about citing these things:

Revelation 13:16-17 King James Version

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Until you start up a "nice" airline and get the infrastructure going, maybe try to maintain a little of that precious sympathy for those of us with no other fucking choice.

I was once really excited to meet a forum friend on whom I'd been crushing on a little as we were going to attend the same event, and she brought along a forum newbie who lived near her and who I didn't really know all that well.

It turned out my crush and I had just platonically friendly vibes in person, but her friend and I had an immediate major connection and ended up dating seriously for a year.

Easiest way out which will still be helpful: send her the link to that comment of yours.

Make spaghetti so you can feed it in through the keyhole.

Because lots of white Christians find it easier to hang onto cultural racism than to fully process the implications of worshipping a Jew from the Middle East who would not have looked much like themselves.
