15 year old monk whispering "do i lust for men?" and then flipping to a random page in the bible to see what it says = medieval equivalent of modern "am i gay quiz"
bibliomancy is alive and well in the 21st century. St Augustine rolling in his grave.

You can tell that Laios has an accent. His letters are more squishy and soft and Marcille's are more angular. He pronounces a ㅁ like it's an ㅇ.
LIL B?

we make fun of americans and their burgers but a good burger at the right moment really will return your will to live, is the thing
So, my spouse has been exploring his gender lately; he also just built himself a new laptop. Today he told me that he in an attempt to process some genderfeels through metaphor, he made a post on a trans forum along the lines of: "I'm a lifelong Windows user and I think I'm pretty good at it. I want to find out what Linux has to offer but I'm afraid I wouldn't be any good at it. And how do you choose the right Linux distro, anyway? Do you have to try them all?"
The responses, he said, were a mix of useful advice about feeling out your gender and useful advice about choosing a Linux distro.
I love trans people so much
Spouse (still he/him for now) recently decided to pick out some more feminine glasses -- he was going for the librarian look, he said. He noted his pick was "subtle enough" he'd "probably" feel comfortable wearing them at work. Of course, he's been wearing his old glasses while waiting for the new ones to be ready.
Well, today these two things happened while he was at work:
I don't usually read coincidences as signs, but,
Update: She really liked Linux
(Also, her name is Eve now)
omg
This has been in my queue for months.
I missed it last year and I vowed that would NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
Single Mages are dying to meet you!
i will try very hard to be kind until i die
... the worst bit is I know several people this could be, especially given the 'in Australia' clarification
If you know them then there's a chance I might know some of them and that thought will keep me up at night.
This wasn’t the guy who we all know who used to spray his jeans with Mortein and then light himself on fire, was it?
He used to sit at the back of the bus, cup his hand, spray deodorant into it, then open it and light it on fire with a lighter in one fell swoop to try and impress girls.
He had to stop because the bus company begged our school to tell him to stop bc of legal liability. His hands never actually got damaged after doing it for about a year.
I reached out to my old friend in question here, because I've been thinking about him all day.
I do not know what "the amulet" is. I have no idea what "the amulet" is referring to.
I instantly remembered when he said that.
While we were all at the local park doing legal things that teenagers would do back in the late 2000s, my friend here found a rock at our old smoke spot that was unusually smooth and flat. He liked it so much that he took it to the woodwork classrooms at school, drilled a hole in it, and hung it on a necklace.
When we asked why he weanwearing this dinky-ass pebble on his neck, he claimed it prevented him from ever getting food-related illnesses: wouldn't get food poisoning, couldn't over-eat, was able to ingest anything (prior to him finding The Amulet, a few of us used to play a game called "Devil's Piss" where we would take turns shoving random food bits into a bottle of coke, and the first person to take a sip would get two dollars from the other players).
When we all asked him for the proof that this rock is magical—because nobody believed him, obviously—he said to meet him behind the History block at lunch, where he said he would drink two litres (or half a gallon) of milk in one go and not puke.
We met him there, and about ten of us all watched him down a whole bottle of strawberry milk in two or three breaths.
He didn't puke.
He jumped up and down and punched his stomach to prove it.
He still didn't puke.
I'm so glad I'm alive.
Gosh I wish motorcycles weren’t death machines they look so fun
My dad isn’t one of those parents that is like you’re gonna be rich and you’re gonna be a doctor or whatever. He only has three conditions. 1. Don’t get involved in organized crime 2. Don’t join the military and 3. Don’t drive a motorcycle
Problem is though. Motorcycles look so fun.
So in the US they say there’s a 1% chance of getting in a motorcycle accident. That’s just per year though. If you stretch that over 20 years that gets up to like 18.3% which is a much higher gamble when you think about it. And motorcyclists make up 15% of fatal accidents while only representing 6% of vehicles.
They look so fun though.
MOTORCYCLE CRASH FATALITY RATES
Okay this is gong to sound condescending on several levels but:
There's a kind of cliche about training a dog - that if you want it to always come when it's called, you should never scream at or punish it when it does. Even if you just spent twenty minutes getting increasingly panicked thinking it was dead in the woods! Even if it had been trampling through the neighbors garden! It is very important that it's direct association is 'stopping whatever super interesting thing I was doing to go back to human = being praised and rewarded'. If the association is instead being screamed at or punished, the dog will be less enthusiastic to stop whatever fun thing it's doing to run to that.
I feel like a great many people would noticably improve their own lives if they started applying the same logic to how they treated other humans.
Conclave (2024) dir. Edward Berger
this easily my favorite monologue of 2024 and will likely be going down in my hall of fame. as a leftist religious girlie who struggles with faith it was so beautiful seeing this movie affirm that losing faith in man does not mean you must lose faith in god. faith may not come easy these days, but the pursuit of justice, and the belief in striving towards something greater than you alone is still worth it ♥️
