My penis is a hair dryer, AMA.

One can’t judge a relationship on an image alone but… there’s a few redflags on this one. I hope for you they’re false alarms.

I did the contrary.

Manual typewriters. You did not precised the age of the technology in question!

Do you knew that there are an average of 1’800 parts in a typewriter? That it can print in two colors, with different margins, different interlinear space, tabulations and that some even have things like word count? It’s a marvelous and yet understandable piece of technology. Someone technically inclined can understand 100% of the working of a typewriter, nobody can understand 100% of a word processor.

In a homebrew setting still in construction, Volapük is the language of a secret society.

Esperanto is more like Common. A language that everyone speaks, more or less, can only be something from an imperialist power or a neutral ground created for that.

Me, yesterday: “I shouldn’t put that booklet with the discounts to show at the checkout in the back pocket of my jeans, it’ll fall out and I’ll be in trouble.”

Me: do it anyway.

Me, at the checkout: “Fuck, I lost the booklet”

They don’t have to give money to receive it back. They just keep it, while still having tourists (cf France).

I like this image. I’m a citizen of a small monarchy, and I used to be a staunch republican (in the European sense). I’m still not a big fan of the monarchy, but it’s a way to help conservatives feel secure while being, in fine, more open than the neighboring republics. But we don’t have a House of Lords or any nobility beside the reigning immediate family, so that helps accepting the monarchy.

It felt like that.😅

But the truth is that the stress wounded my intestines.

Oh I had my first one earlier than that!

(Don’t do PhDs, people)

He’s selling his country to Russia. From Scylla to Charybdis…

Criticising those who criticise liberals for acting morally superior and not taking action to feel morally superior and not have to take action to feel morally superior and not have to take action to feel morally superior and not have to take action.

Read a book about Christianity if you want to learn the teachings of Christianity. To read the Bible directly without being accompanied by someone knowledgeable (or a good book) is like reading Plato without having any idea of what philosophy is. You’ll misunderstand, not because you’re not smart, but because you have to have keys that you can’t discover by yourself.

My bank account is not the Word of God, but it’s a quite reliable document.

Where did I say that they are not reliable? I just say that, even if you believe that the Bible is a sacred text, you should read it critically. Our work, as Christians, is to search in the human words of these texts the message of life that God wants us to read. And he gave us tools to do that, our reason is one of them.

That’s what I said when I spoke about superficial knowing. In most of Christian denominations, the Bible is not the Word of God in the strict sense: when we call the Bible the Word of God, it’s a metonymy (with, again, the notable exception of the American evangelicals and those, in other traditions, which are unfortunately inspired by them). The Word of God is Jesus-Christ (John 1:1), and the Bible is the only certain way (but not the only way) to hear it. That’s why Luther translated the Bible: the Word of God is heard when someone read the Bible accompanied by their community, in prayer. Then, God speaks through the words of the Bible. But God’s free, he can speak outside of it.

Reading the Bible may be the best cure against Christianity there is.

If it’s a cure against biblical literalism, it’s just the proof that you’re intelligent. But reading the Bible alone doesn’t give you a lot of clues about Christianity, which is not reducible to the Bible.
