And I think they said that men and women can both had the high religious positions, but I may be misremembering.)
That's what the wikipedia entry said.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Apparently he's secretly Druze - a religion I'd never even heard of, which is a sort of gnostic/Muslim/Christian secret society thing!!!
I just learned about the Druze in the past year. I didn't realize they passed as Muslim, etc., though. So interesting.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Well, I'm not claiming that other Druze do that. But the guy running our school is, very wisely, not trying to alienate his client base, so letting people assume/implying/outright claiming to be Muslim (I don't know which he's doing) is pretty sensible.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
AAAUUUUUGH!!!

It really was. I stayed up until 3:00 to watch the ref gift the match to Italy. Which happens, I know, but it still sucketh.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
So hey, it's getting closer to my time of departure--does anyone know anything about cell phone systems that work in both Britain and Ireland without gouging you for a price?

As in, one you can buy when you get here?
There's no network that works in both countries, but you can make sure that the phone you buy in one country is unlocked, and then get a new sim card when you get to the second country. They're only about ten quid, if memory serves. I use 02 in Britain and Ireland, but it's a bit cheaper in Ireland than Britain. It's got pretty good service though, and good enough deals on pay-as-you-go.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
SA, I believe Virgin Mobile's pay-as-you-go plan is also available in the UK (home base, after all). Among it's many pluses is that it's not a contract which means you are not obligated to keep using it, good if you mean to only have it for a shortish time.
