Reminds me of this passage from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:
The renewed shock had nearly made him spill his drink. He drained it quickly before anything serious happened to it. He then had another quick one to follow the first one down and check that it was all right.
Oh yeah? Could be that he DOES have broken arms, but he can’t afford to go to a doctor so he toughs it out on cheap black market painkillers, leading to bones that never heal right and life-long crippling opioid addiction! Checkmate, capitalist!
Sheesh, I took that to a SUPER dark place for what started as a silly porn joke! 😂
Yeah! Even back when I was in good shape and strong and shit, I could never hold my breath for more than a minute AND I was never a very efficient swimmer, so I’d have been absolutely dreadful at underwater rugby 😂
Thanks! Turned out it wasn’t, though. Got Legionaire’s disease and spent most of my birthday groaning, sleeping or groaning on the toilet. Not a big fan of being 41 so far…
Romans kept pretty good records of what they did in Palestine
They were also known to twist history to suit their narratives and as the primary Christian power, pretending that their fictional guy was real very much suited their narrative.
To put it another way: since the Romans had a vested interest in the world believing he existed and there’s no contemporary records, the burden of proof has not been reached.
You’re very welcome and thank you! I had a blast! Long since exceeded the number of indentations my primary app (Connect) can handle so I’ve been going back to Jerboa to answer 😄

What are the bad patterns of Reddit to never repeat on Lemmy?
A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers
