I read the Bible. I started asking questions about things in the Bible that didn't match science, I loved science (still do), but nobody wanted to answer my questions, they'd just get mad, so I started seeking information elsewhere and came across atheist or ex-religious sources who answered the questions I had. Those sources also helped me realise the damage that had been done to me mentally, which I'm still working on overcoming.

I became best friends with my ex after we broke up and we lived together for years.

Laziness doesn't exist, it's made up, there's always an underlying cause

I think they're called imams.

'Ah, sweet,' said Albert. 'I shall wipe away a tear, 'cos what he's gettin', see, is this little wooden toy and an apple.' He held them out.
BUT THE LETTER CLEARLY -
'Yes, well, it's socio-economic factors again, right?' said Albert 'The world'd be in a right mess if everyone got what they asked for, eh?... What good's a god who gives you everything you want?'
YOU HAVE ME THERE.
‘It’s the hope that's important. Big part of belief, hope. Give people jam today and they'll just sit and eat it. jam tomorrow, now - that'll keep them going for ever.'
AND YOU MEAN THAT BECAUSE OF THIS THE POOR GET POOR THINGS AND THE RICH GET RICH THINGS?

Recently been trying to introduce my partner to Doctor Who while he's staying in Australia. All the episodes used to be up on BritBox because it's a British show, but they dropped it earlier this year. Now the options are:

Binge (season 4+)

Amazon Prime (season 5+)

Stan (all new seasons, but also the only streaming service I don't have access to)

Disney+ (only 3 movie-length specials)

Pastors.

I'm seeing my best friends this weekend, I'm pretty stoked about that. We're gonna play board games and watch movies and chat. I don't get to see them very often, it's honestly been months and I've been spiralling into a really bad depression, but I'm really excited.

I found out when looking into the term "tomboy" that a "tom" was a term for a boisterous and unruly boy. The word "tom" does come from tomcat as others have said because unneutered tomcats are often loud and unruly. I suspect Peeping Tom has a similar "tom" origin: an unruly boy that peeps on girls.

My partner and I spent the whole game going "these two better not stay together at the end, they're horrible and that would be a terrible moral"

My partner named our cat Lana because he wanted to be able to scream "LAANAAA!" like Archer

“It’s the hope that’s important. Big part of belief, hope. Give people jam today and they’ll just sit and eat it. Jam tomorrow, now – that’ll keep them going forever.”

“’s right,” said Albert. “That’s the meaning of Hogswatch.”

Death nearly wailed.

BUT I’M THE HOGFATHER! He looked embarrassed. AT THE MOMENT, I MEAN.

“Makes no difference,” said Albert, shrugging.

My 2yo cat likes to lay on the carpet and pull herself along instead of walk

This literally happened to me but the other way around when I picked up my T injections 😭

I went to a nerd convention (probably Supernova) and there was a stall there raising awareness for autism and I wanted a cape because they were giving out capes (I've since lost the cape, very sad), and the guy there was like "are you autistic?" And I'm like "I don't think so" (thinking I guess they ask everyone or something). A year later, I'm helping out at this nerd shop and a couple comes in and the guy's like, "do you remember me? I think we met at the con last year. I don't want to offend you, but I think you're undiagnosed." Turns out he was right.

I still have so many puzzles to solve... Every puzzle reveals 3 more... But I love it.

My ex would say "good they", I like that

Personally I don't consider "online play" a positive change

The lengths some people will go to to avoid learning to count to 3.
