I’m reminded of that one post where a guy said put a sparkly pink unicorn sticker on the best forklift in the warehouse, and confirmed that it is indeed always available for him to use now.
Oh. My. Fucking. God. This is 100% true.
I was employed at a workshop and somehow, every time I needed it, the 5.0 allen wrench was missing from its dedicated places. That was why I ordered a set of allen wrenches just for myself. And since I’m a horrible queer and also a huge fan of color coding I ordered the rainbow allen wrench set. Nobody ever touched it, not a single one went missing. Ever. You couldn’t find my colleagues dead with them in their hands. One time someone even refused to use them after looking for his set and finding it missing.
Seriously, there’s nobody as insecure as a middle-aged man working in maintenance.
Honestly, that scale actually makes perfect sense, especially for a sixty person dance crew. You want people who are really good at what they do, but not who will attempt to stand out and affect the cohesion of the group. Too fresh and not fresh enough are both negative qualities. And Jason is just saying that an 8 represents the ideal amount. That’s actually pretty deep, and suggests a collectivist instinct in him.
And yes, that means that Jason is effectively saying that Michael is too smart for his own good, to his detriment.
I saw this and went “oh, so it works like the pH scale”… then realized that means that he’s calling Michael basic.
He’s also inadvertently practicing Virtue Ethics. The theory of virtue ethics states that every virtue, like generosity, exists on a spectrum somewhere between two vices, like stinginess and being so generous you harm yourself.
Do theologians in Omegaverse worlds argue about what Jesus meant when he said “I’m the Alpha and the Omega”?
That makes a lot of sense, actually.
Does anyone know the history as to how that ended up in the bible? Idk, it seems weird that a judean guy who, by historical consensus, spoke aramaic, and possibly hebrew as well, would be using greek letters in a speech. Is this passage thought to be thrown in by the council of nicea on their own? Is this a bad translation and he said the first and last letters of aramaic which was made into greek letters for western audiences? Why is this in there at all? Has the history of this passage been traced as to how it ended up in the canonized version of the bible? I find this very strange that he’d be using greek letters and I gotta know how this came up
The historical Jesus is believed to have spoken Aramaic but the New Testament was written in Greek, likely by people educated in Greek literature and rhetoric.
They also wrote for a largely Greek-speaking audience since most Christian churches at the time were outside of Judea.
Also, that speech is from Revelations- so the Jesus saying that is in a vision seen by a guy imprisoned on a Greek island. (John of Patmos, historically identified with John the beloved disciple, and IIRC imprisoned by Domitian towards the end of the 1st century). So it’s… not really attributable to a historical Jesus.
Historical Jesus spoke Aramaic but Dehydration Hallucination Jesus can speak whatever he wants
If you follow me and your pfp is random hot woman or a default icon, I’m going to block you. This is still just a random ass conglomeration of really random stuff tho.
