man some of the seven deadly sins aren’t even that bad. sorry I’m angry n wanna fuck? Sorry I ate a lot? shut up
Wrath is beating someone up because they exist in a way that you don’t like. Wrath is not being angry because someone hurt you.
Lust is not wanting to have sex with other people. Lust is using sex to hurt other people or hurting another person in a sexual way.
Gluttony is not eating lots of food (your own stomach will tell you when enough is enough). Gluttony is when you have enough resources to yourself that you could house and feed the rest of the population of your city but you keep it to yourself because you do not want to give up the power associated with it.
Greed is not wanting to improve the state of your material life because it would improve your quality of life. Greed is taking opportunities and resources away from already marginalized people. (And if someone tells you that a service you benefited from and it actively improved your life was not meant for you specifically, then there needs to be more of that resource).
Envy is not looking at someone who has a higher quality of life and wanting to improve it. Envy is when you are looking to take away from someone who is in the same situation as you. The example the Bible (or catholic school) uses is a man looking at another man’s wife when his own wife loves him very much and is equal to the other woman in every way that is important.
Sloth (aka laziness) isn’t when you’re exhausted or hurting and being too tired to do anything else. Sloth is when one contributed nothing to the work and yet reaps the rewards of the work.
Pride is when you think of yourself of greater than your peers and your fellow humans. Pride is also when you think of yourself greater than God. Pride is not being proud of yourself or others for accomplishing something that was difficult. You are allowed to be proud of your hard work and your accomplishments.
Why did a tumblr user just explain an aspect Christianity than all my years of private school and church
So basically what I’m hearing is that Jeff Bezos is the embodiment of all seven sins and belongs in hell
worst trend of 2020 is instagram influencers with a large audience starting an onlyfans for bikini pics or whatever, making 10-20k their first week, and then posting about how easy it is to an audience that includes tens of thousands of young girls, who are going to start one at 18, end up having to do much more hardcore stuff to make any money, still not make nearly as much as those people do because they aren’t famous to begin with, and then be stuck with nudes of them online for the rest of their lives. i’m not anti sex work but people talking about it like it’s a quick and easy way to make money with no negative impact on you at all is… deeply irresponsible
like i know several people, both online and irl, who’ve done this and quit because they had their pictures sent to parents/friends, felt pressured to do things they were uncomfortable with, found themselves in bad situations with other models/ “photographers”, or were worn out and emotionally exhausted by being seen as a sex object/product instead of a person-all for 300-400 dollars overall. if it’s something you’re considering please be aware it’s not how these people portray it
Fact: bisexuals make up a majority of the LGBT population.
Fact: the majority of bisexuals are closeted.
Theory: If all bisexual people came out, straight people would no longer be the majority.
Do we really make up a majority? Cause the way we’re erased i had no idea. Like really. I thought we were in minority…
The Human Rights Commission of San Francisco released a groundbreaking report on Bisexual Invisibility in 2010 which revealed that, even though only 28% of bisexuals are out (compared to 71% of lesbians and 77% of gay men.) bisexuals out-number gays and lesbians combined, Many studies have followed which verify this data.
Bisexual Invisibility more like Bisexual Invincibility
reblogging for the last comment
Happy 20BiTeen, y’all. Time to reblog this chestnut and piss of the biphobes.
This is because the majority of people in general fall in the bisexual range of the sexuality spectrum. Only about 5% of people are completely straight and only about 5% of people are completely gay. Due to compulsory heterosexualality more people identify as straight when they could identify more comfortably as bi. And more people identify as gay when they could identify as bi because of the pressure to “pick a side.”

say what now
There are so many straight people who suddenly see a guy or girl who’s attractive and go No homo but… and I’m like Y'ALL, ACCEPT THE HOMO
History: The
Minoan
civilization had a rapid decline following the eruption of a volcanic island close to Crete where they had settled. The eruption was so large its effects were felt all the way in China.
Me: Oh yeah. The Mediterranean had a lot of problems with volcanoes every few thousand years or so. So why was this one special?
What the island looks like today:
Me………….. oh
Ye.
They had several extremely advanced items for the time period (3000 BC to c.
1100
BC) which other civilizations had not developed yet for thousands of years (such as a working plumbing system). They had a writing system we have no idea how to read as no writing system evolved from it and it’s not related to any of the other writing systems we do understand (ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptian etc etc)
They had a extremely peaceful nation from what we can gather, as none of their art showed soldiers or military until near the end of their civilization, and instead showed scenes of agriculture, games, every day life and things along those lines instead.
“tiddies out” civilization as I like to call it due to the common dress of the women as shown in almost all art.
(men are drawn with darker skin than women)
I heard somewhere that they were possibly a Matriarchal society but I need to do research on that as I’m not entirely comfortable with declaring that as possibly true just because I heard 1 person talk about it. I want to see some sources first.
But yeah. Many people believe the Minoans were the basis for the Atlantis story.
Plato wrote the story of Atlantis in 360 BC and based his Dialogues are supposedly quoting Solon who went to Egyp between 580BC and 590BC and Solon said he got the information about Atlantis from the Egyptian Records.
The Minoan Civilization, like I said, was between
3000 BC to c.
1100
BC. So by the time Plato wrote his dialogue on Atlantis, which is our only Primary source, the Minoan civilization was something that had died more than a thousand years ago. Meaning this was ancient history to the people of ancient history.
this post was so educational then the youtube anime art slapped my ass and called me gucci
They also worshipped bulls, hence the entire story of the Minotaur (Minoan Bull).
They engaged in bull leaping/bull jumping/bull dancing, where gymnasts would leap over live bulls. The bulls were not harmed, but undoubtedly some of the dancers were hurt or even killed.
Forms of bull leaping are practiced today in southwestern France, some parts of Spain, and Tamil Nadu. Likely the forms in France and Spain descend from the Minoan sport.
every few months I forget about this and then see it again and it is always one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
So this time I looked it up, I wondered how to get one and how much it cost. Turns out it was a bit hard to find, actually, and that’s because it’s no longer called the Ogo, it’s called the Omeo.
They are pretty advanced as a product now, in terms of accessories, color options, etc (they have an off road conversion kit and stuff!). They are kind of expensive, tho not necessarily when compared to other wheel chairs, which cost anywhere from a couple hundred bucks for a shitty one, to like 4k for a high end electric one. An Omeo will cost you just under 2k.
my little brother came into my room last night to tell me that he was gonna sew a stack of my mom’s saltine crackers together through the little holes and then left again
i ended up distracting my parents so he could put the crackers back in the little sleeve like hed only taken one from the top. i dont know if anybodys found them yet but i talked to him about it later and it turns out that theyre sewn together TIGHTLY. like. the ENTIRE stack through ALL the holes
it has been three days and my mom has still not discovered the sewed together cracker stack in the box in the cupboard
I’m DESPERATE to see the sewn crackers
i have no idea how he accomplished this
there seems to be some confusion on how old my little brother is. my little brother is 19, one year younger than me, and is an undergrad in uni. he just likes to cause problems on purpose
it has been a month and two weeks since i made this post and i opened the cupboard today and noticed that the crackers were opened and a bunch had been carefully slid off the threads. i went over to my brother and was like ‘dude holy shit did she find them???’ and he was like ‘i dont know!!!’. cue my mom coming back down the steps wanting to know what we were saying about her. we had to tell her, and apparently this was what happened:
a week or so before, my dad, who is an EXTREMELY smart and well-read guy,found the crackers and assumed they were a manufacturing defect. like he told my mom that he thought it was interesting how the machines using thread to line up the crackers for the sleeves forgot to cut the thread before they went in the sleeve for the box. my mom was like ‘idk……i think i sense some shenanigans…..i dont know from who or how but theres some shenanigans going on in this house’ and he was like ‘no really thats so interesting how they must use thread to do stuff at the cracker factory’. he didn’t take the sleeve out before opening them up, and therefore didnt see the tape closing up the other side. when he came downstairs my brother took the sleeve out and showed him, and he was mildly surprised, like ‘huh i just assumed thats how they made the crackers lol’ and he just went on with his life. the cracker saga has been consuming me for the past month and after all that this was how it ended. idk what i expected but at the same time somehow this was a fitting end
