"which did you like better, Jedi or Empire Strikes Back?"
"Empire."
"Blasphemy."
"Empire had a better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father... Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note! That's what life is, a series of down endings. All Jedi had was a buncha muppets."
"CHIISA. BEIJA WHAKEE CHEWBACCA."
so djibalae. Jabba waninchi ko wa nyaba no nabula. Heh heh heh heh. #FromMemory #ProbablyGettingTheLineWrong #CantinaBand #Jizz
Waitress provided poor service, which was imho unintentional, and my folks were in a FOUL mood about this. I dropped probably not enough from my wallet to make up for the poor tip and was relatively conciliatory to make up for my mom, my dad was grumpy at me for the second, didn’t notice the first. A clusterfuck.
Boss makes a dolla and I make a dime,
That was a poem for an earlier time,
You put de rag in de gasoline and light it all up,
You put de rag in de gasoline, you call de doctor, woke him up
I said doctor! Is there something to be takin’
I said doctor! To resolve this exploitation?
Now let me get this straight;
You put de rag in de gasoline and throw them both together
Put de rag in de gasoline and then you feel better
that last post connects to thinking about religions;
Christianity has all the answers. Usually they're about obeying someone more powerful than you, and by sheer chance they're always provided by someone more powerful.
In Judaism, the answer is always about love and compassion if you ever want something which resonates more than "we've always done it this way."
In Buddhism, there *are* no fixed answers, and that's okay; the only reason it wouldn't be okay is you really want a fixed answer.

the opposite of recontextualizing Chelm stories to be Zen parables is recontextualizing Zen parables as Chelm stories;
for instance, the learned man of Chelm who overhears two rabbis arguing about the objective existence of a big stone. One says "clearly, this is held in your mind," and the guy gets such a headache from having such a huge stone in his head that he has to lie down. When he wakes up from his nap, he doesn't have a headache and can't find the stone where it must have rolled out of his ears or mouth, so he concludes that life truly *is* a dream.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
