Trying my hardest to be civil in this uncivilised world.
Humour is a sign of intelligence! And yes, the ‘camel’ is a play on words, as gamla in Aramaic means both rope and camel, and also a callback to Jewish oral tradition/Talmudic teachings where it’s an ‘elephant going through the eye of the needle’. 👍
Legend of the Galactic Heroes, definitely. 👍
Let’s consider the source: Nietzsche was very insightful but lacked faith in anything besides the self. I choose hope, even if I don’t know how we’ll get there. 🙏🙃
Rock bottom at the end of these nonsensical, anti-humanist times and a return to form, God willing. 😓
100%! Thanks for the very important correction, my cat woke me up at 3 am and I started posting half asleep, lol (and you know exactly what the J-man was talking about! 😁).
Perhaps I’m wrong and I should be more hopeful, then. Congratulations on your recovery, it’s really admirable and heartwarming. Let’s f’ing go! 😁
AAAIIIIII CAN’T STAND IT, I KNOW YA PLANNED IT!
I’m just being a weeb elitist, nothing more to it! 😂
Italian is easier and arguably sounds nicer (or at least softer), French is more common and useful. I’m not hating on French though, as I also learned it willingly in my teens (and, as of last year, I’m also a French citizen, lol). If it’s just ‘for fun’, I’d say Italian.
My wife calls me and tells me everything about her day the moment she steps out of her HELLISH AND UNBEARABLE (but still air-conditioned) desk job, and then again when we’re home. 😅
Surprisingly (perhaps not?), I’m more of an all-purpose yapper and, when we’re done with our post-work rituals, will start talking about Plato, Jesus and geopolitics in long-form TED talks…
People don’t read. Paraphrasing:
Jesus (J): “Why would you call me ‘good’? Only the Father is good.”
Muhammed (M): “Our Lord has decreed mercy upon Himself, so to anyone who commits sin out of ignorance and then repents and amends, He is Forgiving, Merciful.”
J: “It’s easier* for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than it is for a rich man to enter Heaven.”
M: “Those who hoard gold and silver and don’t spend it in the cause of God, give them news of a painful retribution.”
J: “You have been told ‘do not murder, for whoever murders will be judged for it’, but I tell you anyone who is angry and insults their brother will be judged for it too.”
M: “The righteous are those who suppress their anger and pardon the people. God loves the good doers.”
When it comes to individuals, I’m pretty accurate, but for larger geopolitical moves, not so much. As a therapist in training, this does not displease me, lol.
YEEZY SEASON APPROACHING
If I didn’t have actual Jesus on one background and Diogenes in the other, I probably would go for this too. Sad about his mental health issues but we will always have Yeezus and TLOP. 🙃
Sure, but let’s be specific. Is it an ideological problem? That’s an easy fix as long as you’re sane, because even if you’re slow we can get there through logic/the Socratic method. Is it some ‘psyche scar’ that has deformed you profoundly and fundamentally altered the way you feel and react, like C-PTSD and insecure adult attachment styles? These wounds, they will not heal… but they can usually be ‘managed’, sometimes with a little help from your friends.
A good 30+ mins jog, especially for ADHD enjoyers.
The mods here aren’t trigger-happy ubersensitive morons as you would see in larger subreddits, and that makes all the difference.
Depends on the anime, IMO. PFP of Yusuke Urameshi or Yang Wen-li/Reinhard von Lohengramm, or even Zero/Lelouch? You might be saying some real shit. 🤷😅
Tampons and spicy food are the ones that got me, lol.
Just because you want something and it scratches an itch doesn’t mean it’s good for you (ex. heroin).
