From The Upajjhatthana Sutta ("Subjects for Contemplation"). I was unable to determine whose translation this is. It differs quite a bit from the scriptural versions I am used to seeing and I like it!

The year is 2020. Cole Sprouse is getting married. The bride, when she is supposed to say ‘I do,’ instead says ‘IT WAS JUST A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT, HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?’ and storms off. It is the fifth time this has happened. Such is life for Cole Sprouse.

Give me less "being kind requires zero effort" and more "being kind is worth the effort it takes."

In a lot of Hellenic magic, it was common to use a young boy as a medium for spirit possession, as they were considered especially spiritually pure, and thus easy for the spirits to speak through.

This spell, PGM IV 850, is a solomonic rite that involves the invocation of hundreds of spirits. This spell is notably more syncretized with lay-Judeo-Christian magic, and thus doesn't necessarily call for a boy. You can use a boy. Or a man. Whatever you choose.

A lot of the PGM is a catalogue of spells that have gaps for [insert your name here]. The idea being that a ritual practicioner would carry around a book of incantations with little spaces for whoever the subject of the rite would be. Thats what the "NN" means. It means [Add subject name / problem / subject here.]

Sometimes this has the humorous effect of a literally 2000 year old spell reading like "SPIRITS OF THE DAIMONIAC AIR I INVOKE YOU THROUGH THIS VESSEL, THE MAN OR LITTLE BOY INSERT NAME HERE" Followed by the names of a hundred demons.

Not that I think all marriages are doomed but when deciding who to marry you should ask yourself “is this someone I’d want to divorce?” As in, is this someone I believe would be mature and fair, even when they’re upset and don’t particularly like me at the moment. Is this someone I could continue to trust while going through an adversarial process? And if the answer is no, don’t marry them.

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.

He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense

Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.

My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.

He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM
