7·3 months agoMy father has that same retarded logic. “What? You don’t want my house when I die?” – “You fucking moron. I’m 30 and you’ll live another 20 years. I need a home now.”

671·3 months agoThe madman theory is a political theory commonly associated with the foreign policy of U.S. president Richard Nixon and his administration, who tried to make the leaders of hostile communist bloc countries think Nixon was irrational and volatile so that they would avoid provoking the U.S. in fear of an unpredictable response.
But luckily unambiguous.
As I said, it always fucks me up. The AM/PM indicator wraps at a different hour than the hours. Aaargh!
As someone who grew up with a 24-hour clock, I can deal with 12 hours. Usually there’s no confusion if your store opens at 7am or 7pm. But 12:30PM being a valid time and meaning ‘00:30 on the next day’ fucks me up every time.
Are you talking about a watch with 24 different numbers on it?
I took this introductory passage to be the current tradition. The quoted bible passage makes it look like more of a mandatory thing:
[5] If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child […]; her husband’s brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto her.
[7] And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then his brother’s wife shall go up to the gate unto the elders, and say: ‘My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto me.’
[9] then shall his brother’s wife […] loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and […] say: ‘So shall it be done unto the man that doth not build up his brother’s house.’
This seems to me a bit outside your usual family obligations
It was actually the law to do that, IIRC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yibbum
Just because there were no Catholics, that doesn’t mean that people weren’t violating some divine law (people also call it “natural law”). And unless you have a very specific meaning of “sin” in mind, there were absolutely “things you shouldn’t do or God will be angry”. Religion didn’t start with Jesus.

32·3 months agoPersonally I don’t like ordering clothes online, but I did find this shop which seems to have made it its point to produce women’s pants with big pockets: https://radianjeans.com/ No clue if they’re any good, since I’m neither in the market for women’s pants nor in the US.
It’s hard to judge from photos, but some of these show women putting their whole hand in the pockets: https://oldnavy.gap.com/shop/womens-pants-with-pockets-0aaz06b

79·3 months agoIf you don’t like tiny pockets, then why did you buy pants with tiny pockets? I seriously don’t understand the logic.
Men’s underpants come with flies and without flies. Those without are usually cheaper. If I want a fly, I buy those with a fly. I don’t buy underpants without a fly and then complain that I didn’t get a fly.
I believe you that pants with big pockets are hard to find and that it’s effort to buy them. But that still doesn’t add any sense to buying pants with tiny pockets.

335·3 months agoCould it be because women keep buying them? I’ve never seen my mother wear pants without pockets, and when she bought a new jacket, the amount and placement of pockets was the first thing on her mind.
Only now I realize the significance of that. But still. How hard is it to not buy pocketless apparel?



By mistake. Thanks for notifying me.
