  • How do people sleep on planes?

    Jump

  • I have flown a hundred times and slept exactly once. It was like teleporting from Osaka to Sydney. If I could do that more, it would be very good.

  • Me as a parent

    Jump

  • That's pretty much how it went down with my kids. I imagine most parents just avoid it, but I teach them full on how crazy that shit is. And make sure they know not to confront them about it.

  • Actually, the conversation would go like this.

    Kid: Dad, someone on the internet said Jesus dies for our sins.

    Dad: What do you think of that?

    Kid: I'm not sure but it's weird. How can someone dying have anything to do with the bad things that other people do?

    Dad: It only makes sense if you understand that back then, they used to kill animals as a sacrifice to God. They believed that God will show them more favor, the larger the sacrifice. If you do something God doesn't like, killing something will make God happy with you again.

    Kid: This is getting more bizarre, and creapy.

    Dad: So, Christians believe that Jesus was sacrificed to forgive all humans for all the bad things they do so God will be happy with them again.

    Kid: O...K... So, we're all forgiven for everything we do.

    Dad: Not exactly. You have to feel bad about it and ask Jesus to forgive you. If you're Catholic, you have to go through a priest.

    Kid: David cries when he has to go talk to the his priest.

    Dad: Yeah, that's a different topic, but that's what they believe.

    Kid: Why does God want them to kill things?

    Dad: It seems that he changed his mind. Somehow, since killing his "son" was such a big deal, that he's happy with us without further killing.

    Kid: Is God supposed to be smart?

    Dad: They believe that he knows everything and makes everything happen.

    Kid: Isn't he suppose to help good people and punish bad people?

    Dad: We'll get there later, your question was about sacrifice. Have you heard of communion?

    Kid: Isn't that when they drink juice and eat a cookie.

    Dad: That's right. The cookie is supposed to be the body of Jesus, and the juice is supposed to be his blood.

    Kid: Seriously?!

    Dad: Yes. It's symbolic cannibalism. According to the bible, Jesus told them to do it.

    Kid: Like half the kids as school and all of their families do that!

    Dad: Yup. Pretty weird.

  • This is a seriously interesting speculation. This may very well be a thing.

  • Is there a name for when the narrator (in a literary text) talks to the reader directly?

    Jump

  • It sounds like it's breaking the fourth wall. Narrators can do it.

  • Barbie: who saw it?

  • A Trojan horse with neon lights announcing the hidden soldiers and surrounded by anti-Greek protesters.

    Maybe an actual free, open-source artificial intelligence will be the first to post here. Oh shit, I've ruined it. Ok. Maybe the second.

  • Barber just fucked up my beard

    Jump

  • I see what was going for. The goatee area is pronounced and longer. Not what I'd do, but may suit the longer hair or if you are starting a cult. It is a cut that can be fixed however. Either way, if he was doing anything non-standard, he should have discussed it with you.

    Picard is clearly not impressed.

    Why do Americans keep falling for the Democrat and Republican scare mongering and propaganda?

    Jump

  • For some reason, Republicans accuse their advisaries of the things they themselves are actually doing. My guess is that OP was Republican, has come to see that the Republicans are full of shit , bit still believes the lies they told about Democrats.

  • Scaremongering is by definition fabricating or playing up dangers. These are real.

  • This really calls for a picture, or there's not much to say.

  • What is the Democratic scaremongering and propaganda?

    Democrats are shitty because they are generally corporate sellouts. Republicans do the scaremongering and propaganda.

    Jump

  • Look at an IQ map and political map of the US. The stupid and right wing maps are nearly identical.
