If we can use the wrong Mt Olympus, we can use the wrong Georgia.

It’s zero days till Christmas, because it’s still Christmas for 10 more days.

Now I want to go play Cultist Simulator or Book of Hours. This list is also a list of the sorts of cards the games use to represent the narrative/puzzle you’re playing through. Highly recommend.

Yeah, it’s weird but hear me out. What they’re referring to is a latte macchiato, which is the opposite of the traditional espresso machiatto you’re familiar with. The word macchiato translates as “marked”. So an espresso machiatto is an espresso that is marked (with milk), and a latte macchiato is milk with only a marking of espresso. Confusing if you’ve only heard of one of them, but it does make sense. A lot of Americans are only familiar with the latte macchiato, and major chain shops like Starbucks don’t even know what an espresso macchiato is.

It’s also based on Paul’s ramblings, so I’m not entirely clear how you get from the biblical text to the official Catholic doctrine.

Strong possibility now that the quiz simply sits half finished in another tab for a month or two.

TeChNiCaLlY, under Catholic doctrine, being sexually attracted to or being in love romantically with someone of the same sex haven’t ever been a sin. Just having sex with them is. What’s new is that they are now willing to bless your sexless non-marriage homo life partnership. It’s simultaneously useless to any gay Catholics, and a huge middle finger to the more conservative side of the church.

TIL I’m gay? I actually carried around a copy of D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths in my backpack, and I have basically zero attraction to other men. Then again, I was over it by high school, so maybe that’s why I’m not gay.

True, but I’m banking on the magic glasses getting them to open up about their ulterior motives so I can filter accordingly.

Delegate! Just use the glasses to convince qualified trustworthy people to run the world for you.
