Yeah, I am religious (though not Christian) and I stand with you on this. This kind of breakdown should have been talked about beforehand.

This is one reason I’m cackling over recent scholarship that came out about Odin which is sending the white nationalists in a tizzy.

Like dudes. We have in stories that he would turn into a woman and have sex with men. He practiced women’s magic. He was called Ergi. He ain’t straight. We’ve known this.

But oh, their…

Njordr for the oceans! *donates to save the ocean funds as a form of worship*

You’re going more off the myths here than the actual records of religious beliefs, though. Which to be fair, I didn’t realize there was a difference myself until I met a few Hellenic Polytheists and they set me straight.

Apparently the records we have of the religious perception of the deities is a lot more stable and…

They did also try to outlaw cults to Dionysus for a time, which was never fully succesful and hilarious.

*Edit- oh wait or was that the greeks... I think it was the greeks. My bad.

Ehhhhhhh, not really. Invoking them isn’t the problem. It’s more if you don’t listen to their instructions or renege on a deal, or tick them out without having invoked them.

And to be fair Odin is a chaotic trickster king deity who is gay af (ok, bi af according to recent scholarship which the racists are flipping out…

My go-to apple picking season recipe is my Apple Bread. The recipe I made myself, and it’s a sure winner in most circles. And easy enough to turn into Apple Cake- either use a same or different pan, and then make a quick caramel sauce with brown sugar and a bit of almond extract and dump it right on over with the…

This is in response to LW3 but uh, for all that he did to you (emotional abuse, manipulation, lying about you, etc etc etc- thank goodness your friends took your side, kudos for having such a awesome friend group!)… 7 months ain’t that long, depending on your personality.

I do think the advice is correct on the level…

This is a big question. Because whenever I do my last-batch sauce for the year, with the last run of tomatoes, I just put it in plastic bags and toss it in the freezer and it’s good for quite awhile.

Maybe it’s more expensive to store, but dang they taste better. 

Actually, ironically it was the Bush era that put this into effect. Everyone just assumes it is Obama because it took almost a decade to come to fruition. 

I mean, the good news is that this is... not really going to affect how businesses operate. I say this because the lightbulb business took YEARS to switch track to LEDs. There has been stuff in the works for years, and it’s only just now started rolling out. At this point, after the Light Bulb industry convinced the…

Yeah like... honestly, I missed the final fantasy train myself. Final Fantasy 12 was the first and only Final Fantasy game I ever bought as a kid, and I think I got like... 1/4th of the way through before quitting. I might be generous there.

I might try it again to see, because 17 year old Robin was a different…

Eh, the thing is making it legitimate does knock down a LOT of piracy. I haven’t touched an illegal download music site since Spotify (iTunes knocked out most of my need, but there are some artists I couldn’t find anywhere except for 200 dollar CDs on ebay or illegal download sites. Spotify pretty much has them).

Sure,…

But the role of the protagonist is important. We’ve comforted ourselves with this idea that ‘things were different’, and ‘oh, everyone believed that’- but in actuality there were active debates among even the higher ups on whether or not genocide was ok in terms of morality when they were no Christian or etc. Like, it…

Eh, I would mostly agree although I would say that outside of some fumbled MoP was actually some really good storytelling. (There are some debates regarding Garrosh’s characterization, but his path started that direction midway through Cataclysm so that isn’t MoP’s fault.)

Heck, I felt nothing during most of Burning…

I am so ready for this and need it in my life, like, now.

#currentlydyingbecauseIcannotwait

Seriously. There are so many times I was sweating where I used to live, because the neighbors would fight next door and sometimes it would get physical. The walls were thin enough where I could listen in and I would be paralyzed trying to figure out when I should call the cops on them.

Because all I could think was ‘I…

Yeah, it’s kinda a refrain in most southern states that I know of. “Hey, at least we’re not Mississippi!” I’ve lived in Alabama and Virginia and have had friends in Tennessee, Georgia, and NC and it seems like it’s pretty wide spread.

Oh man if we are talking in about ‘first dates we listened in on’-

Me and my friend when to, funnily enough, a local Thai place as well. We managed to get a booth tucked away in a corner, and right across from us was a couple. Obviously first date with the questions.

At first it started fine, but then... the…

So, I’m not in QUITE the same boat as LW3 (Bi trans-dude), but from my B&T perspective:

Start dating other people.

I’m not sure how much you’ve communicated with him on this, but honestly? He’s told you what is priorities are. A ultimatum at this point wouldn’t really... work, honestly. Despite their issues, he has…
