You should apologize to John for threatening him and write that horror novella for him

John, i haven't heard that name in a long time.

It was such a shame how he overdosed on weed coke and meth all at the same time #gonetoosoon #restinpeace

Sometimes it's like i can still hear his voice

Apparently there are people who exist who think POTC: Dead Man's Chest has flaws. I refuse to believe that. That is not an opinion that exists.

Prayer request: my grandpa's health is continuing to decline; he's coughing up blood with increasing frequency and becoming very weak. Additionally, my grandparents have asked me to move in with them to help out. I'm going to go talk to them in-person on Monday. I think I'm going to ask if they will sell me a corner acre or two on their property to build my yurt on (rather than live in the bunk house). That way I can have my own place but still be right there when they need me. So please pray that this all works out and that I will be able to transfer to a full-time job closer to where my grandparents live.

speaking of larping as a knight u can get through basically any task by imagining that ur a knight or perhaps a squire undergoing various ordeals and such.

for example.

-car maintenance. a noble knight would never allow their steed to languish without proper care.

-laundry. a squire must maintain the wardrobe for themself and their knight and work hard to prove themself.

-exercise: a knight must train to keep their skills sharp and maintain their strength and stamina.

-conversation with annoying coworker? a knight must be gracious even in the face of provocation and maintain diplomacy and restraint so as not to make things difficult for their king and also not misuse their power by obliterating an unarmed man with sheer force of might no matter how much he DESERVES IT

Living with your parents as a adult should count as time in purgatory

Been with my Grandpa at the ER for about 4 hours now, not sure exactly what's wrong, but he's having difficulty breathing and they think he has some kind of infection.

I was reading earlier today about how, in Scandinavian folklore, the nomenclature that's usually rendered as "ring" in modern English can variously refer to bracelets, armlets, or torcs as well as to finger rings. It's usually clear from context which is intended, though there are some legendary "rings" whose form is not specified in surviving accounts.

This ambiguity is, of course, not present in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings; though the work and its titular object are inspired by these sagas, the One Ring is clearly described as a finger ring. However, my brain has seized upon the finger-ring-or-bracelet ambiguity and spontaneously produced an anachronistic 1990s teen movie version of The Lord of the Rings in which the One "Ring" is a cursed slap bracelet.

"what groceries u been into recently" is actually a great question, there's a bunch of good conversations inside it

This might be a hot take but I actually don’t think men should talk about their wives in a sexual way online tbh, even if it’s like a *little* bit. Like I don’t wanna hear what you like to do with your wife and ain’t no one else need to hear that either

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me
