@Hesycrashed This is true though, grapefruits are the One Holy Citrus (because they interfere with medication)

@satsyd_finsun My next house is getting a Japanese style bathroom with a deep tub. I don't crave many finer things in life, but a good bath is one of them.

I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this quote lately. Really need to rewatch Unforgiven, Munny might be my ghost of Christmas future.

@Brizksie @kendramerced Gonna need the "she doesn't know", commit to the bit

I saw Obsession over the weekend; and people say it's a monkey's paw this, a BPD that; but I think it's primarily a "weak men make hard times" with a side of "casual hookups are bad, actually" thing. Beef jerky, cut and dried.

@satsyd_finsun I think I know this riddle, but I don't care to confirm.

@Gravantus Not your secret club. April is autism awareness month, it's currently May.

The people who are always getting buttdanged about every little thing need to hit the gym and start building something; and by "something" I mean like a model train set, ship in a bottle, origami, knitting, etc.

Not that we all have to have a take on everything but there are not a few ortho people upset over this FSDY interview because of his view on Nephilim. My takeaway:

1. There are differing views in the early church on Giants. The Sethite view is the pervasive one. FSDY Takes a more minority view which seems to be becoming more popular today but did not push a human hybrid race of giants (downplayed their size). He rather expressed through scholarship the giants were produced by a cult of ritual sex acts between humans who took demonic possession to acquire power. Fallen Angels did not actually procreate (which seems to be a hang up for many).

2. The rest of the interview highlights Orthodoxy and salvation. Gives insight into the many issues in modernity and things people struggle with and how with the spiritual process we can deal with them.

3. From what I heard this was blessed by his Met. Saba.

@whiskeyc1one @Nordeleather @fleshsimulator I listened to it and I thought it was awful, thank you for sharing.

@gaitanalyst Tangential, but I recall a study looking at variance between verbal and non-verbal IQ; & there are a considerable number of people out there with 2 stdev (or more!) between them. Silver-tongued morons are a major hazard in the era of Twitter and Twitch.

@FrLillie The "when exactly am I saved" type of argument can be used to argue against binary gender, the existence of distinct colors, of ethnicities, etc. This kind of thinking is why the world is such a mess.

@annakhachiyan Fool's not a bad gig. There's a mirth shortage on, you know.

@PageauJonathan I am certain there is a correlation between people who don't like parables and people who are otherwise able-bodied but will protest that not being able to run a mile in under 9 minutes is somehow a virtue.

@Fatherspyridon God bless you and keep you, Father Spyridon. They've arrested people for less.

@RorikWanka @monolith94 Clearly you can believe many things, that's not in question.

@fleshsimulator Calling out heightfrauds is one of life's small joys. I have 7 scalps on my belt, you're not allowed to lie about your height at my house party when I've provided food and drink. Always leave a tape measure out when entertaining, it's a great conversation piece.

@Hesycrashed There's a great companion piece for this project

@autocorrect2_0 @groypersixseven @FatherLongin "True Orthodox Church" is a schismatic sect.
