  • I really wish I could get this across to the FuckCars people in countries other than the U.S.

    I just moved from Terre Haute, Indiana in the U.S. to Blackburn in England. The fact that virtually everything you need is within a half-hour walk, most of it much less, cannot be overstated. It’s just not like that in the U.S. Terre Haute has something like 40% the population of Blackburn and driving from one end of town to another, and the shops are spread out all over town, takes 45 minutes.



  • This is from college classes decades ago, so I can’t find you something offhand. I would definitely have been able to tell you more back in the 1990s.

    Edit: I do remember that Job starts out with God gathering his sons together. I think possibly the adversary is meant to be one of these sons, who would obviously be gods themselves. But they are interpreted as angels today. Again, because reasons.


  • I had to explain to someone here on Lemmy that Satan in Job is a rival god, rather than the Satan Christians think, of since it came from before Judaism was monotheistic. The word literally just means ‘adversary.’ Job is about two gods having a wager. But Christians (and the rest of the western world by extension) are ignorant of the fact that the largest role anyone called Satan has in the Bible has nothing to do with Christian mythology.

    And then they decide to conflate the serpent in the Garden of Eden with Satan because reasons.

    Edit: Note to self. Do not try to write longer posts with your phone.









  • I mean he’s married to an extremely successful woman who is worth, according to my searching, $1.4 billion.

    I’d stay home with the kids too. Please be my sugar mommy, hot billionaire. I will live in your luxury mansion if all it takes is changing diapers and stuff.

    I wasn’t worried about whether or not I was gay before and I’m still not worried about it. People like this seem to be very worried about whether or not they’re gay. It’s weird because all I need to know is that I’m not sexually attracted to men.
