Fair point, probably not enough. Granted, it could also be the crappy bed, but finding the time for more exercise couldn’t hurt.

You’re making a very convincing case for pipe bombs.

I had a colleague who went into a diabetic shock at work. Passed out, due to other related things, his retina disconnected. They had him back in two weeks, and framed him for stealing cash from the register rather than cover the treatment to recover. Gotta love corporate America.
Had another buddy, and three others conveniently murdered the night before a Lyft Union contract was up for negotiation in my home city. Needless to say, negotiations were conveniently cancelled, and the union disbanded in following days, suddenly lacking four of the main officers.
Just saying, if you think you’re costing the corporations too much, none of us are, and they’ll pay to make sure you don’t.

I sleep eight hours and I still gotta drink an ungodly amount of coffee to stay awake. I think we might all just be being fucked.

Honestly, I might eat my hat here and go on a rabbit hole about early priestly marriage myself.
“This great synod absolutely forbids a bishop, presbyter, deacon or any of the clergy to keep a woman who has been brought in to live with him, with the exception of course of his mother or sister or aunt, or of any person who is above suspicion.” Okay, so as you know, from your source; phrased as so.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea The wikipedia provides some clarification on the issue. “prohibition of a man and a woman who have both taken vows of chastity to live together in a chaste and non-legalized partnership (the so-called virgines subintroductae, who practiced syneisaktism)” the last word being a Greek term for “spiritual marriage” which was chaste, but also unofficial in the eyes of the law? I’m not sure I’m reading it correctly myself.

To be fair, the “You can’t get married” issue happened seven hundred years later under Gregory the Seventh, and at the time, the other patriarchs who remained following the rise of Islam thought the Archbishop of Rome, the Pope, was nuts too. Which is why Coptic and Greek Orthodox priests can marry, along with Protestant priests. All arguing “Christ never said you needed to absolutely forgoe sex, that was Paul and Peter.”

I mean, that is why the Athenians used to tax the shit out of their upper class.

- Comment on During the Obama Admin I saw a lot of the W Bush Miss Me Yet bill boards traveling the country. How come one or many people put up one of Obama that says, Miss Me Yet? 4 months ago:
I’d say it’s a question of the style of pettiness. The Dems just clutch their pearls it seems when insulted, gossip about the opponents like snide school girls, “accidentally” undercutting the public’s likelihood to even care if a reps been raping senate staff as usual for instance.
I don’t know, not saying there’s a conspiracy. Saying systemic injustice and greed motivated service of state’s people are bed fellows.

I mean yeah, but he’s even more inherently unlikable, and less of an orator than Bush. Beyond his obvious contempt for “lesser Americans” that Bush could downplay and sell as “compassion”.

Hell you can still buy CDs direct (rarely) do that too. Great for display if nothing else.

More like everyone’s too socially awkward to want to discuss any form of hygiene directly. Kinda wild really.

- Comment on Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' 6 months ago:
This is because someone wanted to reuse the sabertooth in Far Cry Primal for an Assassin’s Creed scene, isn’t it?

I feel like folks are a lot more willing to be polite and have a discussion versus an argument. Granted, I suspect the federation process and finding a host helps with that.

I had to explain to my mother the other day that this used to happen so often, even my Grandpa had a side hustle as a Navy commander to help buy his sailors’ land, because VA loan or not, they wouldn’t loan to some of them. And that was from the 60’s to the 80’s.

Yeah, but I found their original in the last paragraph funnier. Still misquoted that too though, so fair criticism.

I just got out of a plastics welder job for Schutz tanks, “Greek Punishment ass job” is a very accurate descriptor.

I kinda fluctuate between both, but indeed; you’ve called out my secret coping strategy. The other trick is just sunglasses though, still that one’s not as effective to dim the artificial lights most of the time, and it’s generally frowned upon to drive with them at night despite the LED headlights, ha.
