  • Well 3 out of 4 aint bad. I don't shoot professionally.

  • You are the fourth Wise Man that nobody talks about. What did you attempt to bring the baby Jesus that they cut you out of all the stories?

    Jump

  • I arrived well after the other wise men, sweating through my robes and wishing I’d taken a shorter route. I knelt beside the manger and laid out the lamb’s-wool scarf I’d meant to bring. It was soft, pure, perfect. Except the shearing accident had splattered it with dried blood. Mary stared. Joseph’s eyebrows climbed halfway to heaven.

    “It’s prophetic symbolism,” I muttered. “You know… blood of the lamb?”

    The silence was so heavy it felt like a fourth gift.

    Panicking, I pulled a small winter squash from my pack and set it beside the scarf. “And this. For… later.”

    The baby gurgled. I decided to take that as forgiveness.

  • Today I learned there's an amazing Wikipedia article detailing the bullshit that Trump has said over the years

    Jump

  • I feel like we could probably get Guinness world records to give him a world record for most lies told in a political career. Maybe they could top it off with the second most to show the disparity since I imagine the second most would be another Republican and an outrageous number, but probably one tenth as many as Donald Trump.

  • Can you see magic eye pictures?

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure the scene from Mallrats was based on me. I stood and stared at those at the mall for days and could never see them. Finally one day - 20ish years later it finally clicked and now I can see them.

  • I killed some kittens when I was around 6. I was just playing and it was an accident, but it haunted me for years. To this day I can't stand hurting animals. I was legitimately saddened the other morning when I stepped on a snail on my front porch.

    But I also know that my actions as a child don't make me a bad person now. Yes I try to make up for it. Not because I haven't forgiven myself, but because I know the pain of hurting something.

  • Officials Are Denied Access to Library of Congress After Trump Names New Boss

    Jump

  • Once again the Christians are gearing up to burn the Library of Alexandria.

  • TIL that the US is #10 in foreign aid per capita.

    Jump

  • Keep in mind this is per capita. Overall the U.S. provides the most foreign aid by a wide margin. Over 10 billion dollars more compared to Germany and over 30 billion more compared to Norway.

  • We all get it, the type of porn you watch is still legal even though it has teen in the name.

    This is regarding a legal matter where the man's sentence will likely be decided by the fact that the court sees him as an adult. In most cases and as the other user pointed out 18 year olds are referred to as men in a legal context. This disturbingly seems to be the standard practice when describing black males of 18.

    Generally speaking, describing alleged criminals as teens implies a lack of legal agency and thus biases the reader toward compassion. The point is that sometimes language can induce bias and consistency is needed. If that consistency falls towards the technicality of having the word teen in their name so be it, but that is not the case with our current media landscape.

  • Netflix Hints at Price Increases, Plans to Retire Basic Service Amid Ad-Tier Growth

    Jump

  • Netflix already costs over $185 a year. For that price I can rent 6 5k UHD movies a month at redbox and get much higher quality viewing. I can't find 6 good things to watch any given month on Netflix. I might turn my membership back on for the final season of Cobra Kai or Stranger Things, but there's just not much else that's compelling me to spend that money.
