@48 the priests told me any water can be made holy. Have we considered that he's blessing a bottle of piss?

2024-01-15 05:05:01 +0000 UTC@31 minutes. That's a great way to put it. It's not so much that things got worse. I just got old enough to understand what I was noticing. It makes me feel like I've been gaslit because I'm 31 and I just figured this out but people older, wiser, and smarter acted like I was crazy before I explained it to them slowly with crayons, repeatedly; only my parents remain.

2024-01-15 02:57:53 +0000 UTCRemember when chik fil a opened a restaurant in a football stadium...a game played almost exclusively on sundays? The story about them this week really reminded me of that.

2024-01-11 16:26:36 +0000 UTCI agree If the Navajo sensed something obscene about commercializing the moon with the remains of our most privileged individuals, I don’t blame them for using the language of ‘sacredness’ to make the statement

2024-01-11 10:51:40 +0000 UTCI was really conflicted when I heard about the complaints from the Navajo Nation. On one hand, we REALLY should listen to a people's group often ignored and sidelined so some Midwest bro can have his sports mascot. And also listen because Navajo Fry Bread is delish! On the other hand, as Noah pointed out, it's the fucking moon.
