Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ita - I am pretty sure it was racial descrimination. There is a possibility is was gender descrimination or harrassment. Either way - it was a case or one person doing it, and a chain of people up knowing about it and doing nothing, so the whole lot got fired.

Woah.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

a chain of people up knowing about it and doing nothing, so the whole lot got fired.

My brain cycled through both Penn State athletics and the Vatican at this description. So, umm, yay for at least doing better in the end than massively corrupt overly-rich institutions with no chance at meaningful oversight?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Although I will not argue with the choice at the top of this list of comic's 50 sexiest male characters, some of the choices for inclusion, exclusion, and relative ranking are inexplicable.

And others are getting looked up when I reach home.

But that would certainly be a case where hearing voices is considered normal.

But there are reasonably few scenarios these days where Christians in the West would be expected to *hear* God, no? That was an episode of last season's Blue Bloods, now that I think about it. You could get away with it in Jamaica, for sure, but I feel like the First World has taken steps to educate its people out of that expectation.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Apparently it's considered normal for some sects of Mormanism? At least that's the impression I got from Jon Krakauer's "Under the Banner of Heaven."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Well the report I heard implied that it's fairly standard at least among some evangelical groups. But I honestly don't know, not being an evangelical. "Some evangelical groups" is pretty darn vague too.

I just realized I'm making that terrible mistake of talking about things on the internet that I don't really know much about. And probably getting it wrong and being unintentionally insulting to boot!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Big!Boss's wife once claimed to have heard God, audibly. The message? (I am SO not making this up.) "[Name], eat an egg."

So she ate an egg. (God didn't specify if it had to be raw or cooked, so she hard-boiled it.)

Yeah.

How does one tell if the person speaking to them is God? Is there an introduction? Resumé?

I guess if they tell you to eat an egg, it's god.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I...kind of hope it was actually god. It's so random.
