All of the tags I follow have spam in them. Porn spam and advertising spam. I can only block the blogs too…I tried everything to block them, even contacting tumblr via e-mail and the posts from the same blogs keep showing up….GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
“They’ll be there first thing in the morning.”
That’s what we were told yesterday when we turned in a maintenance form. Some of you may remember I suffer from insomnia. Early mornings don’t work for me. But this dripping pipe needs fixed. So I get up with Nick at 8:30am and shower and start my day…They still have not shown up.
Pissed. Could be sleeping. Not suffering from a migraine.
The lawn care crew was mocking Woody through the door. They were weed trimming the dirt apparently and Woody boofed and they mocked him setting him into a barking frenzy. I opened the door, glared and they apologized. ….Surrounded my morons apparently.
Played some Diablo 3. I love the game. Anyone who knows about the game has probably heard all the negative crap about servers “always” being down and problems but…I don’t know what they’re talking about. There are maintenance downtimes but I can log in 9/10 times. It’s fun and mindless. I’m in hell mode which is a little harder than I’d like and dropped nearly all my gold so I could kill the skeleton king….after 10 tries he’s down. fuuuuuuuuuuuu
Sigh….
There is this woman I know. Known her forever. She is a Mama Lioness.
She provides home, food, and love to her two cubs and tries her best to protect with all her might.
Sometimes the rage monster messes with her cubs and then this happens…
It’s amazing to see, really. Even the Rage monster doesn’t have words for the Mama Lioness and will flee to his room.
Problem is when Mama Lioness gets like that she doesn’t just bare her teeth at the Monster, everyone gets the teeth…sometimes even the cubs.
It sucks but I’d rather have Mama Lioness than a passive Mama.
(From the POV of a younger me, say 14)
There’s this man I know. Known him for a very long time. He is the hulk with some minor differences.
Like the hulk:You don’t want to see him angry. When in rage state he will break things and say/do things he doesn’t mean. Coming Out of rage state is tiring.
Unlike the Hulk: He doesn’t turn green. Doesn’t grow to giant proportions. Doesn’t fight for good. Doesn’t (appear) to have any remorse for his actions in rage state.
If he’s having a bad day, watch out! This will happen
You will be left in pain, emotionally, and feel like an ant. He doesn’t touch his victims, just screams. It’s vicious and heartless.
While in rage state he also regresses to a younger age. Common responses are “whatever” and “everything is my fault then” and he will always end a fight by storming off to his room.
Whatever you do, avoid at all costs. Even the best rage monster handlers have a hard time dealing with him.
When he is normal he is a calm, loving man. Can even be funny. But…Don’t get him angry.
I just hope one day he will grow out of this, mellow, maybe even learn to apologize.
(adult me, hundreds of miles away from home)
No, I hear he’s the same thing….sorry kid.
Did you tell Mom? Have her deal with it. When one gets like that the other is able to deal with it better than us. Especially if SHE asked YOU to come in.
Now do you see even better what I said the other day about him….
Yeah, I told him she asked me to come in a added a nice “screw you” and he replied “did you not read my txt?”
About a half hour later Mom txted “don’t txt your dad anymore. having a bad day.”
I just love it… :/
Mom told me about it too right after you did. I txted her hello and she told me what was up. He has me so mad other this I’m shaking. You’ll hate me but I did txt him, asking him what was up, he said ?nm n you” and I said “not much hear I just hurt a lot and heard my family wants to eat each other” and all he said was “this too shall pass” so I told him “yes, it will, and remember that everyone, no matter the scale, makes mistakes and no one should make that person feel lower than they already do.” he hasn’t said shit back. If he asks I got it from Mom. I will not stand for him being that way to you. You are already going through enough! He has no right to bite like that. Just proves he’s still the rage monster he always way….so much for “growing up and changing” like mom told me.
Did you tell Mom? Have her deal with it. When one gets like that the other is able to deal with it better than us. Especially if SHE asked YOU to come in.
Now do you see even better what I said the other day about him….
Leviticus 20:13:
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Nice try, Colbert.
Leviticus was written approximately 1400 years before Jesus’ birth.
Nice try, artemispotter.
Old Testament =/= New Testament. Seriously. Also, Leviticus also commands you to learn the Torah, which, if you’re getting Old and New confused, you clearly haven’t.
Not to mention the other ridiculous laws in Leviticus (and Deuteronomy, as well), including the following:
- No mixing of different types of fabric
- No having sex with a woman on her period
- Curse your mother or father? You must be killed
- Disabled people cannot worship God
- Stubborn children should be stoned.
So…. still want to argue how valid the OT is?
Also, in the Bible!=Jesus said it, anyway. Even in the NT, there are a lot of people who aren’t Jesus giving their opinions.
Truth.
Only if the words are in red (in many translations) does it mean that Jesus said it.
FWIW, the apostle Paul and I would not have been friends. Mortal enemies is more like it.
Hey, guys, remember that one time when Jesus declared Levitican law irrelevant?
The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
-Hebrews 7:18-19.
Having been Jewish for, you know, ever, I am endlessly amused at the Christian Right’s reliance on Leviticus. Even I, who didn’t understand the theological difference between Catholics and Protestants until I took a course on Christianity in college, knew that Jesus was totes anti-Leviticus.
Seriously, people…
^^^^^^^
Ugh thank you. Fellow Christian here. I’ve literally NEVER understood this logic. “hey guys let’s pick one arbitrary part of leviticus to harp on and ignore the fact that 99% of the new testament explicitly tells us the old covenants/laws no longer hold true”
I love it when self-professed “Christians” don’t know the ABSOLUTELY MOST SIMPLE basics of the difference between the Old and New Testament. If you are against gay marriage because of Leviticus, you should also keep kosher and be against tattoos. Otherwise you’re just another FLAMING HYPOCRITE.

This is an enormous chain and I’m sorry, but I need to say this:
The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required to make sacrifices, because it was part of the appeasement for Original Sin.
According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws. That is what you, a self-professed good Christian, are saying to your god and his son, that their plan for your salvation wasn’t good enough for you.
So maybe actually read the thing before you start quoting it, because the implications of your actions go a lot deeper than you think.
/An atheist who understands Christian theology better than Bible-thumpers do.
Blessed be this post.

I can’t believe this is what our president and vice president spend their time on. We’re in 15 trillion dollars of debt, and millions of people are homeless, and abortion is still legal, and instead of signing bills to fix these things our president is doing this. Well I’m glad you’re having fun, you fucking bitch. Fuck the United States. /rant
are you okay
We’re in 15 trillion dollars of debt: agree
millions of people are homeless: agree
abortion is still legal: Yes, it is, clearly no thanks to you.
I have no problem with the president taking time from his day to walk his dog. Maybe he was walking his dog to relieve stress. Maybe he was walking his dog to get in necessary, healthy cardiovascular activity before going back to the Oval Office to face the very daunting problems in the US today, not the least of which are the national debt, rampant unemployment, homelessness, the GOP’s ongoing wars on women, marriage equality, the poor, and education, and the myriad problems plaguing the broken local and world economies, to name but a few. Maybe he was walking his dog because he was being a good pet owner and not letting an aide do what he signed on to do when he adopted the dog. If an aide was photographed walking it, would you be angry because the President had shirked his responsibility as a pet-owner and delegated a task that you assume he deemed to be beneath him? Get the hell over yourself.
If you’re this unhappy because the president walked his dog, then be sure to go vote. Volunteer for your chosen party. Run for local office. Campaign. Learn about and participate in the electoral procedure, and encourage your friends to do the same. Or leave the country. Any and all of these are options.
He’s just one man and a LOT of greedy, corrupt people were involved in getting the U.S. into the state it is now. The fact that he’s the man in charge does not make him culpable for a state of affairs that was decades in the making. Blame him if you want, that’s your prerogative, but be realistic: The economy tanked before he took office, before he was even elected, and a lot of short-sighted people would prefer not to remember that. So get off your high horse.
