That’s the human equivalant of the “sir are you aware you are a cat” meme.
I thought I was Jewish when I was her age but I was actually Catholic so when my Jewish friends invited me to give a prayer at his house during Chanukah and I recited “Our Father who art in heaven…”, my friend’s mom got on her knees and said to my face in a super soft voice, “Joey, I think you’re catholic not Jewish,” in front of everyone and I thought I was in trouble and I started crying.
as a homosexual w an irish catholic background I am appalled.. firstly there’s not enough sacrilege, secondly wheres the bleeding flaming hearts, the weeping, the swords, crucifixion wounds, thorns, lilies, weeping doves, come on like joan of arc? 2009 christian lacroix even? there’s not enough gore, where’s the sweaty veil of veronica, where’s the incense, the oils, the golden chalices of christs blood, the suffering, the shame, devotion, etc, you could get so into this
it amuses me to see people being surprised/impressed/amused by this setup, because it’s extremely common on the plains. if you don’t plant a windbreak, your heating and cooling bills are huge, and storms do things like throw the lawnmower through the living room window, take the roof off, or cake the entire north side of the house with six inches of solid ice.
evergreens remain bendy even in the coldest weather, so – wait, no, not the coldest. i remember when i was a kid it got down to like -45 and the norway pines around my house were cracking like gunshots as the sap froze.
maples, incidentally, make that noise around -20f, and i hear it at least once every winter here in southern minnesota. but i only ever heard norway pines make it that one time.
so anyway that’s why we plant pine trees around our houses. because otherwise the wind would freaking kill us.
This is informative and perfectly sensible under the circumstances but I also cannot resist the temptation to compare it to planting stuff all around the boundary of your lot in The Sims
music is the coolest thing, like theres a finite number of notes at your disposal and even after thousands of years we’re still finding new ways of putting them together. it never gets old, probably once a day I hear a new sound that just blows my mind.
like tchaikovsky and cardi b both worked from the same palette to make their own completely different masterpieces
if i were high right now this reply would’ve put me in a coma
