Keep your eye out for buckets. The first one I acquired must have fallen out of a pickup that turned too quickly. I was super self-conscious when I pulled over to pick it up

OH YEAH, I even had time to call my mother, brother!

Oh nice! They were $10 for 3. I wasn’t sure if that was actually a good deal. They say “Certified by NSF to Standard #2”

I accidentally started a pottery hobby. It began with digging out some garden beds then one thing led to another and now I need a bunch of water to let the natural clay separate from the debris

It was $10 for a 3 pack. Something tells me this is actually a shit price but I can’t imagine needing more than this.

Nava-who? What kind of Mexican is that? /s

Um akshually, Christmas was being celebrated a century before then but didn’t have a set date yet. There’s a good chance both holidays picked the 25th because it’s the winter solstice and everyone was into astrology back then.

Hopefully I don’t get attacked like the last time I mentioned this. Also, a lot of the other “pagan” traditions in Christmas, like the yule log, showed up centuries after Norse paganism died out, which was a completely different religious tradition from Roman paganism.

If you want criticize early Christianity just point out how the gospels were written a generation after all the eyewitnesses died and that a bunch of other books didn’t make the final cut of the bible, e.g. gospel of Thomas.

So much space for activities!

Ich, der Amerikaner

It feels so degrading. I don’t ask my tools for favors. I only want to use my voice for yelling at them when they don’t work.

Why does Dutch look like what Americans think German sounds like?

They’re also patient and willing to push through a bit of pain for a reward

Weird, I didn’t know people pronounced it dye-cals /s

These comments are like a treasure trove.

I didn’t see anyone mention Kodi as an alternative to smart TVs. It’s better in every way than the Apple TV I won from a raffle at work. The best part is that my TV box is just a computer so I can use it to host other services too

It reminds me of my teacher from northern Wisconsin that would say words like “bag” and “flag” as “bayg” and “flayg”. She would say “back” and “flack” like you’d expect but for some reason “-ag” words got the different vowel

America has been strategically sitting on a couch eating strategic cheeseburgers for the past 50 years

Talk about a cold case, eh?

Before the election I applied for software jobs at the IRS hoping to work on this. This country blows.

That’s why it needs to be a collective effort from the community. If the whole neighborhood came out brandishing arms I bet cowardly ICE would leave without a shot being fired

You can tell Ernie had a supportive family growing up but Bert was forced live in the closet. I’m glad they found each other though.
