TIPPED WITH A BIBLE VERSE

bible $$$

This deserves biblical torture, not medieval!

biblical torture, not medieval!

So like, the same but also involving incest or donkey semen or something?

She bears mauling the person, lightning setting them on fire

I bow to your expertise!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Thanks. Came to see what that meant.

I’m sorry what’s wrong with kimchi, it’s not surströmming.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Some folks are really sensitive to strong odours, like from kimchi. So it's common courtesy to avoid spreading these smells around where there are lots of people in tight quarters.

Probably varies by place and region, but this has been the case everywhere I've been. Except for homes and very cool workplaces ofc.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, anything fermented is not for enclosed spaces with a hundred strangers.

I love the shit out of kimchi, but wouldn't want to smell it during a flight..

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is why I only bring fruits. Durian is my favorite.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Understandable, but I never thought of kimchi as having that much of a smell, like, they serve food on airplanes, and food does smell too, and nobody minds?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

People mind, I'm sure. But some things are hard to get people to part with, like coffee. I think there's just some cultural inertia, and probably at least a bit of xenophobia at play.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Just fly Korean Air and you don't need to bring your own kimchi.

For real, though, do it if you have the option. It's the only airplane food I still enjoy

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That last one seems out of left field. That can't be relevant to anything going on today can it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Nah, completely irrelevant to any currently ongoing events

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I don't understand the copper reference.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

One of today's lucky 10 000! Yaaay!

[–] KingOfTheCouch 6 points 3 days ago

I understood that reference.

I swear how can i be still losing the game this much even after such a long time. I think the longest i went was like 3 months since the first time i learnt about it.

New meme template

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I lost..

I hope YOUR happy now !

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I'm not, because your lost the game, too

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There are people into some of these I'm sure. Someone's punishment mine be something your fine with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think that is the point. All of them could be a fetish although I bet there are few guillotine fetishes. Maybe in like tonys sister and the loaded gun thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

De Sade was into guillotines - wonder if he enjoyed it when they chopped his head off (wait nvm he escaped. Loser).

I’ll plead the fifth but note that Left Behind was traumatic in a strange way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

what was wrong with it? was it not as plumb as the right behind?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

There’s this weird Christian martyrdom culture. We watched cartoons about the Christians being fed to the lions at the Colosseum; I read She Said Yes and was asked to consider what I would say if Eric Harris pointed a gun at my head and asked me if I believed in God (this story was entirely made up, it’s fucked up how Cassie Bernall’s family exploited her for political gain - this is why we have the moment of silence in schools btw); I imagined myself being lead to the guillotine for refusing the Mark of the Beast.

I have beliefs that I’m willing to die for now - but yah know, I’m not celebrating the idea. It’s pretty fucked up and traumatic, and I think my strange quirk is probably the healthiest sexual hang up that could come out of that culture.

This is not healthy culture.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I agree with you but I think they were making a naughty joke :)

Oligarchy is the byproduct of capitalism. I love how Neolib lemmings always try to soften language to obfuscate the root causes. Better dead than red. The right wing hogs are just ready to burn the world down, but the libs are in such denial. It's sad really. Because now, if you had the framework, everything would just be so obvious. A lot of political theory is coming true. Your bourgeois democracy is coming to an end. We are approaching the singularity. The world is a capitalist world. There is no such thing as communism. Russia is capitalistic, China is capitalistic, and as the world fights, we are all just doing the bidding of rich people as they play both sides. This is the era of the climate wars where nations will fight for resources to push forward a fudual world where there is no room for your own personal autonomy and things like freedom of movement will become less and less of an expectation. They are already priming the kids. The younger generation is absolutely sick and tired. This will bring about popular movements. that resemble the Nazi party and Christo fascism. While at the top they try to maintain the war machine. They say they have nukes now that have less of a fallout, less radiation. But the thing is, they're just going to continue to escalate. There will be a war and the United States will drop nukes on Iran. Iran does not want a war with the United States. The United States is a bully with no plan and no qualifications. The neoliberal order was an attempt by the capitalist class to reduce the amount of conflict in the world. But it was just a band-aid and it was only a matter of time before laissez-faire capitalism was going to collapse in on itself.

Going way too easy on the person who brought smelly food on an airplane.
