Objectively funny crimes should not be punished.

I went to a couple social dances hosted by a local ballroom dance club. I like pretending I’m someone else, someone cool, since I don’t know anyone there.

Isolating variables like this is so cool!

Such a cute name, and it seems like it suits her!

Thanks for pointing out that it was Paul not Jesus who said that. I feel silly now. Corrected my comment.

Christ does Christians do say canonically that the church is like Christ’s wife.

Marriage—Christ and the Church

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

(Ephesians 5:22-24)

And bridal theology goes back to the Old Testament, in Song of Songs.

Watched Asteroid City recently for the first time. I thought the play within the movie (and the intertwining back and forth of storylines) was really interesting and entertaining.

JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT. MUCH JOY HAS BEEN BROUGHT AND, DARE I SAY, WROUGHT.

Someone did my tarot recently, and I didn’t realize the second way existed. Paired with introspection after the fact, the experience was quite therapeutic.

Oh, thanks!

(Sorry, what game is this from? Pretty cool silhouette!)

Were you ever in marching band? I got relatively good at that after putting my all into marching band in high school.

Thanks, stole it myself!

So the desired response is, “What is “what is up dog?”?”?

It’s a Q: a bunch of vowels are lined up behind it!

I’m East Asian. My ex (also Asian) said I smelled bad sometimes after exercising, but my current partner (not Asian) says I don’t have any body odor. I do think that when we go to the gym together, their smell far outweighs mine. I can’t smell myself at all, but then again, people are usually habituated to their own scents.

Sometimes, though, when I was a child, my father would come home from the gym, and we could all smell him from a mile away. I don’t know if that’s because the gene skipped him or if it’s just because humans generally think their close family members are stinky.

It’s nice to talk about this when my armpits aren’t in danger of being sniffed by several drunk friends.

Thanks for the explanation! I’ve taken the liberty of posting this to bestoflemmy:
