@ghostowlredux @kisstheblade_ @KarolusWangus And any schmuck can use a stethoscope to find the heart and put a mark for them to aim at. The same cannot be said for finding a vein for lethal injection as they have proven time and time again.

@ghostowlredux @kisstheblade_ @KarolusWangus I believe they aim for the heart, which should also be fairly instantaneous if at least one hits.

@JDVance сука блядь

I nudge @MrsDoubleshot in the ribs at Mass
Me: “do I have to confess that I’m jealous of the deacon’s beard?”
Her: “I think ‘coveting the deacon’s beard’ is probably the most Eastern Orthodox sin you could ever confess to a Roman priest.”

@bilbosfootcomb If you eventually want to place the odyssey where it belongs in Greek mythology, I highly recommend Stephen Fry’s Mythos series.
You get a primer on all the deities, then the heroes, and finally the story of Troy and the journeys home from it.

@bilbosfootcomb 12 in the Olympian pantheon (plus Hades). The rest are immortals of some sort or another.

I feel every one of @JDVance’s posts should be replied to with “сука блядь” from now on.
Thank you for the great idea, @ZelenskyyUa!

@bilbosfootcomb After you read a more traditional translation, I highly recommend Steven Fry’s latest in hi Mythos series, Odyssey. In fact the entire series is an excellent retelling of myths, heroes, Troy, and now the aftermath

@go_oat You see, the gangsters, drunks, rapists, nazis, pedophiles, and satanists are in a smaller/closer circle than the rest of humanity to them, so they have to love them more.

@kev_jg Isn't part of the point of blindsight that no coexistence is possible with any self-aware creatures? Humanity will either be destroyed by the aliens from space, or the "aliens" we resurrected. . . or the "aliens" some of us turned ourselves into.

A lot of talk about the Ordo Amoris these days (ἡ τάξις τῆς ἀγάπης). Here is the idea in St Gregory of Nyssa.

@MmePapyraceus That is true, hadn’t considered that part. Was just thinking “if this was two countries with no travel between, which would I prefer to be in?”
I entirely decided that based on the cities and natural wonders, not the people.

[Grant Newman 𓅪 @Mr_GnuMan]

@MmePapyraceus NYC, Boston, SF, Yellowstone, Chicago (to name just a few of the points in green’s favor.) This is sort of a no brainer divide.

@MrsDoubleshot brought my this beer at the @ThunderbirdsAHL game tonight.
The description matches both the beer and her perfectly!

@scutistar1 @Bacon_House One of many historical inaccuracies that has crept into the Civ series.
