thinking about when my friend found a book from the 70s in a church office with truly some of the most insane prayers I have ever heard

You know those jumbles of letters? Those are called "words". They represent "meaning". Now the tricky thing about words is you need to read all of them to understand what a person is saying - sometimes entire sentences or, God forbid, paragraphs!

But I believe in you! I believe if you try hard enough and take it slow, you can manage to read all the words in a post *before* replying to it!

Quick question. When someone asks what age you were in a certain year do you give the age that you were before or after your birthday that year?

Do you give the younger or older of the two ages you were that year?

I give the younger (age before your birthday in a given calendar year)

I give the older (age after your birthday in a given calendar year)

Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

[supapoopa]

What a time to be alive.

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

[stephendann]

Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll

[fromaliminalspace]

a rough translation of inscription on the runestone:

On the seventh day of May in the year of 2016 on hither spot the mighty warrior Ulf hath slain a dragon with his spear.

so yeah, happy birthday to this dragon-slaying event and to it only

Happy Ulf Hath Slain A Dragon With His Spear!

Instead of this whole "unlearning shame" bullshit, we should really be teaching people to distinguish between when you feel bad because you genuinely did wrong and when you're just beating yourself up for no good reason.

[the-perfect-wagnerite-again]

Christianity already did this millenia ago by differentiating between shame (bad) and guilt (good). Shame is inwardly-focused and incentivizes denial and avoidance of responsibility, while guilt is outwardly-focused and incentivizes confession and penance. The "Catholic guilt" trope was memed into being a bad thing by people who think obligation to honesty and deference to others is oppressive and suffocating.

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."
