Not disagreeing with you, water is definitely the best hydration. But other beverages are effective hydrators, even if some have side effects in addition to the taste.

Any drink with water in it is hydrating. There are no drinks without water. All drinks hydrate, even coffee.

I know a destitute man in his 70s who rings bells for them who makes minimum wage for standing out in the cold collecting donations. I’m sure he would have no problem with the money supporting a bigoted organization. So at least some of the bellringers are compensated for their labor.

Man, I think I still had an active Fark account more recently than I visited tucows but I remember it.

If you pay with a card inside, just ask for a full tank or round up to whatever you know the vehicle will fit. Everywhere I’ve visited refunds the remainder automatically to your card without you going back in. Generally, at least in my area any refund is done almost immediately too but you could ask the cashier if you’re concerned about the specifics.

Prepay inside and you’ll never have this issue. You get to chat with a bored cashier as well.

Guy came into my workplace this week and I was saying I was slowly getting into developing a game engine with SDL. When he heard I was using ubuntu he recommended Bazzite, saying he has no trouble with it and uses his machine mostly for gaming. Is it Debian based or something else? At least it’s not that meme distro Arch I guess, might try it

You’re supposed to fold it, it’s a taco.

Also, in Dr. Hillman’s book Original Sin: Child Rape and the Church he outlines how medieval and earlier rape of children by church leaders led directly out of Jesus’ pederasty, something the priests wrote at length about using Jesus’ actions as justification.

His other book The Chemical Muse was instrumental in getting academia to admit the widespread use of recreational drugs in antiquity.

Dr. Hillman doesnt get any money from the purchase of these books and he encourages you to pirate them.

Hey they crucified him for being arrested in the Garden of Gesthemane (Mark 14:51-52) in the middle of the night with a naked ~12 year old boy with a bandage on his junk (some drugs and eunuchs shit) - somehow Christians miss this crucial plot point of his big act. All the other apostles were at that time, out cold on the drugs he had given them.

Crucified between two other traffickers too, lestes in the Greek, same sort of people who held Julius Caesar for ransom - after Caesar got free he instituted crucifixion as the standard punishment for traffickers.

They mistranslate it as thieves and say Jesus was marked as a political rebel or something but the mob of people and heavily armed soldiers that came for him were very justified in their anger.

You might be interested in Dr. Ammon Hillman, his doctorate is in classical philology and he has a masters in immunology as well, he’s been reading and translating Ancient Greek for 35 years, including a lot of neglected medical texts. He asserts that both the Old and New testaments of the Bible were originally written in Greek, within a couple hundred years of each other. He has a lot of praise for Satan and the figure’s apparent origins in Greek culture (Diana Lucifera and other mentions), and talks about Satan predating both Judaism and Christianity.

Hes also got plenty of scorn for Jesus, who according to his seemingly rigorous translation of the Greek bible was on a lot of drugs throughout his life and during his death, and was sexually exploiting and trafficking minors (the Apostles apparently ranged in age from 10-19)

He did some decent interviews on the Danny Jones show and on Hamilton Morris’s podcast, and Ammon hosts a live stream a couple times a week at Lady Babylon on youtube. The name of his channel comes from Medea, a “sorceress” from Scythia who became queen of Babylon at one point. She was Hecate’s daughter and sister to Circe from the Odyssey, and apparently was the first named person in history referred to as a “Christ”, a term that he has showed at length refers to the use of drugs in antiquity. We get the word “medicine” from Medea.

Pretty outlandish if you’re not familiar with him but despite his sometimes abrasive and eccentric presentation style I feel like the picture he paints of the ancient Greek world during the few centuries around the time of Jesus makes a lot of sense, and I appreciate that his channel is non-monetized and he doesnt accept donations for what he does sharing what he’s found in half a lifetime of studying Greek source texts.

Moose are about as dangerous as a cow

Only cowards grate Parmesan and Romano. Nibble or slice off chunks, its great!

Reminds me of how the peace symbol came from an N and D for nuclear disarmament, similar aestheticl

Isotype anarchy symboll

I suppose not a problem if you don’t want any innovation in the engine of the game and just want to re-skin something someone else made.

Maybe its gayer to bottom for both men and cis women though, maybe “gold-star” gays are leaving some arguably gay acts still on the table

🤔 you know I think you might be right. I’m going to continue calling it a brick it out of spite.

I refuse any moniker for these besides bricks

The US Census Bureau keeps track of things like that? Huh… TIL
