          Which is funny since the word know was use to mean sex in the bible like nine times and used to literally mean to know someone over 900 times.

          I know way too much Bible facts for an Athiest…

              I know, I just have these odd moments of… clarity? No not quite right, I can’t think of the word right now, just means a sudden realisation or thought about it and it bemuses me.

              Yeah I do remember reading the details of that survey, but the sample questions they supplied from the survey were pretty simple stuff. So I didn’t take it too seriously, though admittedly I can see the logic behind it being so for a myriad reasons.

              ‘Course it occurs to me you were basing it on your own anecdotal experiences, so this post was something of a non-sequitur.

              I suppose most my knowledge stems from debating with some religious people.

              Yeah, I’m no longer Christian, and when I was a little kid my first crisis of faith arrived the first time I read the bible for myself instead of the hand-picked portions the pastor would read.

              I’m female. I read the bible. I have good reading comprehension. My pastor was of the “literal word of God” school.

              My mom eased me past that one because she’s always maintained “literal word of God as related by Man.” That kept me in the fold all the way ’til adolescence.

                I guess I was lucky. My folks didn’t really have a big thing for religion other that dad being shocked they didn’t still teach the Lord’s Prayer in school. I went to Sunday School a little and VBS now and then but that was it. I did read the comics version of the bible. (the big blue hardcover version) but I’ve found religion is subject best avoided unless you are actually in a church. But thats just me.

          Taking a wild guess it might be an assumption of political leanings based on oppinion on the use of a word and an assertion of the relevance to their geographical location.

          In english, I think the suggestion is that because Luke said hate is a strong word the assumption is he must be from a more “liberal” location.

          Admittedly I’m not that proficient in American geography and their various political bias to be sure of my interpretation.

              Yeah, I didn’t say it would be an accurate assesstment of character, just what I think might have been the implication. Silly to make judgements like that of course.

          Midwesterners know how to pronounce situation, so don’t lump us into that category.
          The hyperbole situation is probably a problem everywhere you go.
          In college, I’ve spied on people’s answers to surveys about their teachers, and they consistently say they “Strongly agree” to everything, as though the teacher blew them away, except in areas where they “strongly disagree”. And I’d guess that hyperbole is at its worst in Texas.

            Anecdotal experience, but most of the people who live on the coasts use hyperbole “I love that” or “I hate that” like breathing and would never think to qualify it.

            People in more conservative (in the personal, not political sense) locations tend to be more cautious of words like hate – especially if they’re from religious communities where it is frowned on.

            I’m guessing Shade has similar anecdotal experiences.

            It is something colloquially refereed to as “Hammer Space” even though hammers are not the only items stored there in. Every female has at least a minor version available to themselves. It is referred to as a purse.

    Sarah is so misunderstood, but she has herself to blame for that misunderstanding with the world. If only she opened up more in a friendlier way, then people wouldn’t be intimidated by her and think of her as being negative, nasty, or hateful. This comment goes without saying, but I had nothing else to say. So, yeah.

    Yeah I guess their “moment” did come when Joyce was totally stoned (or whatever the term for roofied is… is it roofied?).

    Still, does the tone and colored text and everything in this one seem weird to anyone else? Like Joyce is suddenly yelling and then Sarah teleports a bat into her hands and then speaks in a colored font?

    I see that while Sarah denies hating Joyce, she doesn’t say anything about not hating everything else. I don’t think Sarah really hates anything, but she does has a low ‘bullshit’ tolerance point. Didn’t she say early on that she’s on scholarship and that a smoker in her dorm room could have cost her her college education. She makes it clear to anyone interested, or not, that she is there to study and thats all she’s there for. Shows why she feels about Billy the way she does.

        Mike said that, and I’m pretty sure he knows a little more about trolling than YOU do pal because he invented it! And then he perfected it so that no living being could best him in the ring of honor!

        Then he used his troll money to buy TWO of every freshman in college, and then he herded them all to a dorm, and then he beat the crap out of every single one!

    Man. Joyce is being a bit of a bongo right now. Her friend opens up to her, and Joyce shots back she hates everyone and everything.

    What a jerk.

      Her friend opens up to her by telling her that she hates her other friend- right in front of that other friend. Not super cool on Sarah’s part either.

    I really didn’t expect Joyce to react like that. I mean, granted, Sarah doesn’t come off as the nicest person, but I wouldn’t have expected Joyce to believe that Sarah ever hated her.

      Remember, the only time Sarah ‘opened up’ to her was while Joyce was roofied. Doesn’t remember it at all. Otherwise, she’s done nothing but snark and nastiness. Up to and including “I don’t want to make friends.”

      Joyce might be looking for the good in everyone, but I don’t think her experience has taught her anything about the sort of people who just don’t come out and say they like someone.

    The big thing for me is how will Billie react to the whole ‘if it keeps Billie from hanging out with you’ statment Sarah made. It’s doubtful Billie didn’t hear that so we might see what Sarah really thinks of Billie and how Billie responds.

    Billie would seem to be someone who would take great offense at being considered a bad influence- which she may or may not be-since she doesn’t see herself that way.

    Going to be interesting to see how this plays out (if it does) at this time.

      I hate it when people say that kind of thing. Look, people have arguments, they get mad, they say or do stupid, tactless things sometimes. Both Sarah and Joyce are very honest people, and that means sometimes they’re insensitive. Doesn’t mean that “all the likingness you had for them has gone out the window.”

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
