It's not if you're 'worthy' of heaven that the world is supposed to test. No one is worthy of heaven at all, except God, but He sacrificed His son to let us have His worthiness. Hard things are to help you become a better person, and closer to God- have you ever met someone who hasn't suffered? But we can get through the bad earthly things with God and appreciate the good ones all the more with Him. It's an entirely different concept.
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.
Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.
I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅
Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.
Clumsy Clark Kent- part 4 (an epilogue)
The news story went up in the paper. It was all over the internet. The entire east coast was in scandal mode. Everyone was coming up with creative death threats for lex Luthor, and he was finally, FINALLY going to court.
The reporters at the Daily Planet were satisfied with their work. They felt like they had done it well. Ma and Pa Kent were trying not to go off about the amount of danger Clark had put himself in.
And Perry White- PERRY WHITE- told them good job.
The end.
I'm so bad at other accents cause when I try to do others it feels like I'm cheating on my normal New Hampshire accent
I and some colleagues were talking about how we wish everyone could see the safety videos that our company was showing us, because I don’t think most people understand how traffic works in a truck. So here’s some things we wish everyone on the road knew.
- we’re not kidding about tailgating. If you’re right behind us on a straight highway? Chances are we have NO IDEA you’re there, which means we can’t anticipate any of your movements. Plus slowing down takes multiple downshifts, so we might start decreasing speed way earlier than you expect.
- We’re not kidding about any of our blind spots. WE CAN’T SEE YOU, GUYS.
- That bit about slowing down taking a while? The same goes for when you’re in front of us. Don’t cut off a truck. Oh god, PLEASE don’t cut off a truck. If you cut me off, I’m not irritated, I’m terrified. For YOU. It can take 7 to 9 seconds for us to stop. DON’T CUT OFF TRUCKS.
- Before you get mad about how slow we’re going on the highway, keep in mind that many companies govern their vehicles so they literally CAN’T go over 60 or 65. This is a good thing, I promise. Because…
- Do you know what happens when a car meets a truck in an accident? The car gets totaled and the truck needs a new coat of paint. You will not win this fight. I know nobody likes getting stuck behind a big dumb truck, but it’s not worth your life.
We are trying our best to protect you from our 80,000 pound death machines. Please help us out.
Wait ISS person are your for real or are you joking
Same for antarctica
I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.
Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"
I can Imagine how odysseus is telling Penelope everything. But because it Just gets worse He is chilled about everything
Oh yeah, war wasn't that Bad. I killed an Infant, but i got over it pretty quickly
Poseidon killed 500 men... He should've killed the 43 men beside me, ha ha
And i've been trapped on that Island and wanted to die, good old times
Then Poseidon came again and threatened to drown ithaca and you and telemachus, so i stabbed him 600 times
And Penelope Looks at him Like He is crazy
Back when I was less familiar with batfamily stuff, I had no idea who the signal was. I would see him listed in stuff and think people were counting the bat signal for some reason. People would say "Duke" and I was like "why are they calling Dick that so much it's not his name" and I would see art with this weird yellow guy. Eventually I connected the dots and looked him up 😅

“He comes onto the ship only for parent observation day, and he enjoys a good doughnut.”
Banana:
“He chose his name based on the color of his shirt. When you join the space, they let you pick a new name.”
“He works in the cafeteria, but everybody hates it because he only serves bananas.”
(This child has watched the original series. I don’t understand.)
Martha John:
“She used to be a nun, but she liked the space life instead, so she quit the sisterhood and joined the space.”
“White Bread cuts her hair too, with computer-like precision.”
“She hosts the ship’s karaoke party every Friday, and always opens with ‘My Heart Will Go On’.”
Darren:
“He’s the head of weapons” (said after I insisted that the ship has to have people with practical skills and not just party organizers.)
“When he joined, everyone thought he was so pretty they put his picture up everywhere.”
“He studies aliens but only the little ones.”
Winkle:
“They rescued Winkle from a bacon farm.”
“They give him a spray tan when he feels sad.”
“His job on the ship is he’s an emotional support animal, but he’s also a man.”
Sansha:
“What’s on her head?”
“Okay she studies space bugs, but when she flies around in space her visit only covers part of her face, so there’s bug debris.”
“She doesn’t like Winkle because he’s not a bug.”
“First name: He. Last name: Hears”
“He’s the professional ‘spakeup artist’ (space makeup artist). His job is to make them all look good.”
“Ears are in style right now.”
“His eyeshadow is on fleek.”
Dan:
“Just an ordinary man.”
“His part-time job is fixing the ship’s engines. His full-time job is being a footrest. He sits down and lets people rest their feet on him.”
“They’re not sure he’s human but don’t question him because he might have a deeper power.”
Lieclops:
“He lies.”
“He’s in charge of alien communications because he speaks a bunch of languages, but he only knows how to lie.”
“He has no eyes, only lies. That’s his motto. ‘All lies, no eyes’.”
