The Bone Chillers episode where their lunchlady gets replace by someone feeding them food with larvae that can be thrown up if they consume mustard also left a mark but only for a matter of days; I remember foregoing ketchup and getting mustard on my school lunch, the next day. I think I was in elementary school, at the time.

As much as I love it, that first Batman: TAS Clayface episode.

Gleefully tormenting a clearly desperate man with the thing he wanted most left me mortified.

*Chaucer laughs from the grave*

I mean, I’d argue that “Thank you” always implies acknowledging a social debt; if you don’t feel there was a social debt someone just assisted you with, I probably wouldn’t say, “Thank you.”

“Have a good day” would just as equally and politely close the interaction while not implying you were just assisted with a social debt.

That’s the strongest point in their favor.

Thanks for this; I can’t say that I wasn’t just particularly exhausted last night but I put this on and conked out pretty quickly.

I used to be able to listen to just about any music, when falling asleep, but my anxiety’s reached a point that even playing the sound of waves is too much commotion and ramps up my adrenaline.

This was calm and unobtrusive enough that it really was just background noise and my brain didn’t keep getting its attention yanked away from drifting off.

As someone who’s also Christian, I know part of it is still “PTSD” from growing up around way too many Evangelicals in the Midwest (not even my family; just in the community) but I find it annoying as Hell and kind of a sign of lacking real practicality in relating to others and being able to conceive of other points of view; a sort of immaturity, I guess.

Sonic 1 for the Sega Genesis.

Yesssssss; still one of the best implementations of Tetris ever, imo.

Yeah; entirely agreed. Part of why I quoted the parts that cover what the judge actually says. It’s a good ruling; useless headline.

Not using poll data from over a decade ago may help with that: https://www.pewresearch.org/. PEW’s 2021 study found that 34% of Protestants believed only those who believed would go to Heaven though that’s largely due to 21% of Evangelicals and 31% of historically black churches: 56% of Mainline Protestants believe people who don’t believe can go Heaven.

And what individual Catholics believe doesn’t matter because Catholics aren’t Protestants; the Magisterium of the Church teaches – multiple times, stretching back to at least the beginning of the last century – that those who don’t believe are capable of going to Heaven. Anyone can believe otherwise but that’s, definitionally, not a Catholic belief (though, for the sake of completeness, it’s 68% of individual Catholics who believe non-believers can go to Heaven, as of 2021).

Again, there’s no way you can say this is true universally and, for neither Catholics nor Mainline Protestants, it’s not a minority who believe it.

EDIT: this would be the second time, in the last 2 days, someone provided updated information that I didn’t see because I was in the middle of writing a reply; looks like you found the same source as I had

One of the core tenets of Christianity is that the only path to salvation is through Christ. That means non Christians are going to hell.

This isn’t universally true (and is often a byproduct of most people thinking that the claims of Evangelicals are true; to be fair, it’s in part because they’re so loud and won’t shut up).

Catholicism believes it’s very well possible for non-Christians to go to Heaven (JD Vance, I’m sure, doesn’t but there’s a reason he’s had to’ve been corrected by the Vatican multiple times).

The issue I always run into is I progressively go to bed later and later until I just cycle through the 24-hour period.

That said, 'wouldn’t actually be a problem if I didn’t have to work…

Many people are saying this.

No, no, no, but don’t you see? We’re the ones stopping labor progress by being concerned about what happens to our communities~ And, of course, communities of color have never been behind progresses of labor rights while focusing on issues of race (as if they don’t often go hand-in-hand)~

Sorry; the sphincter, itself, must be gullible, to qualify. The rest of the body/person is irrelevant.

Most sentences are written with no comprehension of asides and I am perennially mad about it.

I mean, I do think it makes a certain level of sense how Watters drew that conclusion from what AOC’s been doing, recently.

Everyone at Fox News is a child and treating your crush like you hate them is a very common flirtation technique on the elementary playground.

Not sure if it’s where he got his start but you’re definitely correct that’s a thing he used to do.

Let’s not throw the intellectually disabled under the bus, like that; many of the people with Down’s I’ve met are, hand over fist, better people than MTG has ever managed to be.
