Gloomy

The stabbing thing happened after he died.

Romans would brake the legs of crucified victims to check if they were still alive. In Jesus case they instead pocked him with a spear.

The person that wrote this part of the gospel (as in, very likley, made it up), had to write this in because they needed to keep the story of Jesus in line with old testament prophecies about the Messias, one of which speaks of said Messias beeing “unbroken”. So they came up with an alternative to the leg braking.

It’s one of several examples where gospel writers tried to write things into the gospel that made it look like Jesus was the Messias by inventing events about him that made his life line up with existing prophecies about the jewish messiah.

I’ve seen to much “I am sorry, Jon” content over on reddit. I looked at this and was like “Why hasn’t he turned into an eldritch beast yet?! Is there a panel missing?”

I always understood them as a way to signal to other drivers the reason for driving slow and / or more defensive.

Was… Was that an euphemism?

That’s… That’s a big cat.

Fair enoth :-)

Duno… She looks like twelve or something.

I read the Dying Earth stuff. It’s writen between 1950 and the 1980is, I think. And you can fucking tell. It has rape scenes that are handed so utterly casual as if they said “and then the character got on a bus.” Got a lot of other problems along those lines too.

That said, it does give an interesting idea of how D&D Magic might look if you translate the game mechanics of spell slots etc. into how that would work and feel in a practical sense and what implications it would have for the world it is set in, in general.

But read it as a historical document, it you do so. It helps that the main protagonist is a fucking unlikeable brick.

Tell me you’re vegan without telling me you’re vegan ;-)

The hard part is not having every cake taste like banana bread. But I can confirm that it works if you know what to do.

Quality work right here (the meme, for fire not Ea-nāṣir).

I can confirm: nope.

Only one way to find out 😉

It just kind of plays into male stereotypes. The hand held cow is a bit of a combobreaket tough. Anyhow, I have kids and there is nothing of interest in the picture for me too. Then again, never been into overly male associated stuff I guess.

It kind of make sense in smaller kitchens where you don’t have a lot of space to prepare the meal beforehand. Never seen one before this day tough (lids, not small kitchens).

Underrated point. I started out with all the usual bloatware and, at best, a rudamentary feeling why that might be bad. I ditched Windows by now and are activly trying to get rid of Google and their likes, replacing more and more apps with foss alternatives. Trying to pull my family in too. That simply not would have happend without beeing exposed to this by Lemmy.

I mean… What’s next? Kissing animals???

Unless of course the Hentai is causing the radiation.

My mums boyfriend fell for that one. I never understood it - why not call them on their “old number” and confirm first that it’s no longer valid. And once they ask for money, why not ask them to call you first to confirm?

He isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, so I’m not realy surprised he fell for it.

Why the fuck would you support 2500 % Tariffs on anything?!?!?

Ohhhhhhhh. Nevermind.

Wow. I ABSOLUTLY saw an image of a dog in the middle. Our brain sure is fascinating sometimes.
