  • which, yeah, I don’t disagree with that. The problem is that they’re actively working against their own interests. Blatantly so. They don’t want to take programs that would give them financial security (or all the other forms of security that would give, like stable housing, access to good and healthy food, a good education, etc.).

    Some of it is that they’re primed to do that. But a lot of it is, they’re lashing out. They don’t want to feel safe, as an example, because then that removes their excuse for lashing out at people they want to harass and torture.

    Yup. the best part about using the PET from left over PET containers is that it’s already food safe. you could, if you really wanted to, buy some sheets of amazon, but why bother.

    also, for the large cup things… there are other things where this trick is useful… like… making pudding cups… :P Most berry containers will have enough of a flat spot you can cut out for a decent sized cup. (especially if you shop at costco or whatever wholesale club, lol.)


  • it’s funny.

    “jesus” (yeshua?) was a fairly common name. so was “joseph”. It’d be like a millenial named Michael naming their kid Brayden.

    There was probably a dozen of them in that part of the world. There might have been a dozen of them in nazareth, even.

    And, to be perfectly honest, faith healing/mystic scams were super common. usually they got knifed in the street or on the road, but the romans were getting pretty tired of all the dead bodies left lying around. (It was untidy. romans were a tidy people. /s. they just wanted to be the ones with the authority.)



  • I knew one lady who was having a psychotic break who looked at me and was like “Can I use this {pointing at the desk phone} The voices in my head say I’m having a panic attack.”

    So, like. THOSE voices are okay. (she was having some sorta something and needed help, so it’s like “uh. sure. This is our address and, uh, let them know a security guard will guide them in.” (I was said security guard.)

    She got her help. Hope she’s okay.

    I mean, I didn’t see your link to the video lower down, so, it was one of those, “AHAH!” and then… I finished reading and was like… “Ooops”. I can be like that some times, lol

    still, it really is a fun gag, and not particularly hard to pull off. For making dividers, I’d suggest getting some type of PET sheeting- unless you’re rocking a giant cup, you can use the plastic containers with berries and fruits from the store. It’s reasonably durable, but like, also dirt cheap, so.
