Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Regarding the right's wish to implement the "arm everybody (but the black folks)" plan, I've been kind of stewing in, "...but, what about 'thou shalt not kill'? Does that only apply to 'those like us,' and not to 'them'?"

I was always taught that a more accurate translation is "Though shalt not murder." So there's your loophole. (And the fact that these people are about as far from "Biblical Christianity" as you can get, with the possible exception of the judgier bits of Leviticus, etc.)

I'm going to give them credit and say it might be a moral decision, businesses do make them.

I sincerely hope you are right. I hope that the pendulum has swung so far into crazyland that it is headed in the sane direction.

I watched Rachael last night for the first time in a while. I get such rage overload that I can't handle the quantity of news that I used to ingest. Her opening was questioning which of the half dozen or so stories to focus on for the one day when any of them should be a full week's worth of news. The quantity of never happened before occurrences is completely overwhelming.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Damn, Calli. Deep dive on the Sondheim.

Yeah, I also hope this sticks with Dick's and other companies. Unsurprisingly, Ryan and whatnot don't want to budge, but if enough companies and state legislatures start agitating, that might make a dent.

In a completely frivolous change of subject, is there a good reason why I shouldn't buy this hammock stand & hammock to put up in front of my big window and nap in as the weather warms up? [link]

I'd be using Amazon gift cards that I've earned filling out surveys, so it's basically spending free money.

Is there ever a bad reason to get a hammock?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I will be gravely disappointed if you do not buy that hammock & stand, Matt.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I will be gravely disappointed if you do not buy that hammock & stand

I just had a "kiss rocks" moment - why would anyone want to stand in a hammo-- oh.

Seems like an essential purchase to me.

HAMMOCKS BELONG BETWEEN TREES, NOT ON STANDS.

Ahem. I might have strong feelings on this.
