My point is that religion shouldn't get credit or thanks for any of it. There are plenty of awe-inspiring or mysterious things to make art about, and plenty of institutions with enough capital to make fancy buildings without religion. I don't consider religion responsible for any of the art it "inspires".

No. A truly straight guy wouldn't be interested in guys even if they were his only options.

I have a bunch of the Hanes cotton ones you can get packs of at Target. They're working better for me than any other kind I've tried. They put fabric between my junk and my leg (unlike boyshorts) and they don't cut my cheeks in half under my pants (unlike bikinis), and those are basically my requirements. I love that they stay out of the way of pulling my pants on and off. They do tug at my tailbone after a while though, so I can't wear them constantly.

I guarantee there would have been just as much of all of those without religion.

I'd end up with a Fallen Order x Honkai Star Rail crossover. I could totally see the Star Wars universe fitting in the HSR model. If Disney made a Hoyo-style gacha game for Star Wars I'd 100% play it, maybe even spend money.

I'll believe it's just for shortening when the people using it end every word ending with a "ks" cluster with an x and not just "folks". Give me parx, perx, thinx, jerx, trux, backpax, attax, etc. and I'll give you folx.

I thought cilantro was the soap one

Nor do we see him excel at archery, so I'm skeptical about arrow-ace too.

Might be a little dense if you're new to classical but Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht is basically the epitome of this. I recommend the sextet version, not the orchestra arrangement.

I always found it super ironic that the American concert-going public chose a piece that depicts Russian triumph over French invaders for our Independence Day. It literally has the pre-revolution Russian national anthem as the final melodic gesture. I'll play it for the money, but it does make me cringe. Gotta give the old donors what they want I guess, however stupid it may be.

Infinity is complicated, but we can use limits to get a sense of what would happen. That is, the probability of each event happening at least once approaches 100% as the number of trials approaches infinity:

q = p - 1 = probably that event with base probability p won't happen in a given trial

Q[n] = qⁿ = (1 - p)ⁿ = probability that the event would not occur in a given n trials

P[n] = 1 - Q[n] = 1 - (1 - p)ⁿ = probably of the event occurring at least once

lim_(n -> inf) 1 - (1 - p)ⁿ = 1 for real p in (0, 1]

I suppose you could say that infinite presses would guarantee both, but that's like saying 1/0⁺ is infinity, which makes mathematicians angry. It's also an esoteric question, since infinite trials would obviously be impossible.

ETA: correct and clarify the limit and p-domain

For those curious: Nazis bitching about their equivalent of "woke" culture

Yup, there's no innocent way to read that

There are several reasons people might not leave. Yes some of it is about emotional attachment to the place, and there are definitely some who want to fight back, particularly on behalf of those who can't flee, but the biggest reason is that relocating your entire life is incredibly difficult, stressful, risky, and expensive. You have to leave your job, house, and local community and find new ones at your destination. All of those are notoriously difficult to acquire nowadays.

Assistant TO the manager

Sure it does. Her whole story is that she had to convince the public that she was the archon, and she probably figured making her persona come off as aloof and self-centered was the most convincing approach. I don't see any reason why that wouldn't make sense. I'm sure there are other approaches that could work too, but that doesn't mean this one doesn't.

Oh, right, I forgot we can only care about one thing at a time. Here I was thinking we could fight for multiple things concurrently! Silly me.

Dude still thinks being gay is a bad thing. Opinion automatically irrelevant.

Lol I don't think "from what I've heard" meant other people told them about it

Is it heteronormative to not want people fucking in the bathroom?

Sexual acts performed without consent are harmful regardless of orientation or age

Hey, ya gotta keep things fresh! You never know if there's a configuration that's marginally better than the current one, better try some out to make sure.

The horizontally stretched cop really ties this together lol
