Yes. I am definitely misremembering the exact words but if anything it was longer than this. I am traveling but when I get home later today I will post a photo of it.

My coworker and I shared a stamp that we got made for this purpose and it became something people looked forward to getting in their card, weirdly.
I think it said something like
Dear ______,
Happy Birthday / Anniversary (circle one)
You are such a _________ and __________ man / woman (circle one) and I hope you have a great day.
With utmost sincerity, Name
Something like that. I think I actually still have it somewhere.

I make waaaaaay too much money for the value I provide to society, especially compared to e.g. a teacher.
It’s something I am struggling with so much right now. A huge part of me (like almost every fiber of my being) wants to walk away and dedicate my entire life to something more meaningful, but I have 4 other people counting on me right now. In truth, I could probably still provide for them, but I wrestle with forcing them to drastically reduce their standard of living just because I am ready to.
It’s not like I’m rich or even comfortably wealthy. But in this society, in this economy, I am certainly uncomfortably wealthy.

All of my best material is utterly wasted on my cats because they don’t appreciate the total and utter mastery of music and language that I am deploying in their honor.
Ah well.

I think all lefties are at least a little bit ambidextrous. At least those of us born in the previous century.

We use hamburgers as our unit of measure now, not grass clippings. That’s offensive.

“Yeah, you like that, you fucking retard?”
- Comment on susjay 5 weeks ago:
Correct, and fundamentally you don’t make laws to prohibit something nobody is doing.
A few different gods had to get rationalized or syncretized in one way or another as I understand it.
Not only Baal but that pesky Asherah and her complicated and inconvenient situationship with YHWH.

It’s a great use case for a bible verse and I am totally here for it.

Prostrate, not prostate but still sounds like it was a good time.
41 As soon as the boy had gone, David rose from beside the stone heap and prostrated himself with his face to the ground. He bowed three times, and they kissed each other and wept with each other; David wept the more.
Unfortunately this is probably all propaganda. As I understand it, many scholars believe that many of these stories are Davidic propaganda, and that David most likely killed Saul and Jonathan (and Saul’s whole family) in a sort of coup.
But assuming that is true, it’s quite likely that Solomon coup’d David and the whole Bathsheba story was meant to legitimize Solomon as a successor.
Take this with a grain of salt because I’m just a fascinated layman, and my recapitulation is likely limited by my level of understanding.

So they don’t sound awesome because other people do a related and horrible thing that there is no indication that they themselves do?

I’ve actually been trying to wrack my brain to remember the name of it, which is crazy because for over a year it dominated my life. I was the head of a guild with 4 branches and a hundred or so members. Like I was doing management and spreadsheets and even made more than one deck over that time. I’ve been awoken by a Line call at 3am because the Russians are attacking. But the name has left me.
- Comment on agagaga 1 month ago:
I used to run into aXanax all the time on this Mobile game I used to play. It was a PvP space colonization game and there were stark parallels to real world geopolitics.
We hated the Russians in that game, not for ideological reasons but because they and the Chinese would always attack any fleets not in base while we slept.
Obviously we did the same to them, and recruited a European shift for our guild.
