"I used to take a lot of bribes and I should have let everyone know. I mean, I still do, but I used to, too."
Fuck cancer all the way. Every step further in stopping it is a win. And this seems like it might be a particularly great step.
The answer is easy, but to get to it, a little bit of a thought experiment is probably helpful. I say, look to how we define our own left and right sides for guidance. When facing forward, our left hand is on the left side of our body, and the right hand is on the right side of the body. Perspective doesn't matter, and there is no ambiguity.
Now we need to extend this to the bed. A bed has a head, just like a person does. So where would its face be? It seems clear to me, unless you are sleeping on a dead mattress, that the face is clearly going to be looking upwards at the ceiling at the head of the bed. So the left side of the bed, if you are standing at the foot of the bed looking at it, would be on your right. Just like the left side of your friend, when you are standing in front of them and looking at them, is on your right.
Now if you just imagine the mattress to be perfectly spherical and in a frictionless environment.......
(Obviously just having fun with this answer, but it's also the right answer)
Fuck Marduk. All my homes hate Marduk. Apsu was right about those rowdy kids all along!
The Mordred answer is a great one. To add a new name to the list though, I'll pick the Korrigan. Old stories of them would eventually inspire Tolkien to write The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, which is a delightful read about a couple that wants to have a child but struggles to conceive. The noble husband encounters a strange woman in the woods that offers to help, fuckery ensues.
Edit to add, just in case that doesn't scratch your mythology itch the right way, another great one: Set or Seth from the Egyptian pantheon
Another edit because I can't help myself: Enlil! He's from the Sumerian mythos, and in the Atrahasis story he is the god that decides to send a flood to wipe out humanity. Luckily, another god named Enki has a human he really likes that he gives a head's up to. Another fun story that shares some similarities with the Noah's Ark story.
Leave it, it is very well-written and it also made my day to read
I appreciate the posts, downvotes be damned. It works for the layout I'm viewing it on just fine
And not a representative from the human race to be found around Mother Nature showing any concerning whatsoever. Well done, Mister Larson.
I have no idea what drove me to make this and I am so very sorry for everyone with functioning eyes that stumbles upon this post. All the mug shots, looped forever, to fuel your nightmares!
I'd move the pointer back to the Southern Strategy and Nixon I think, but otherwise I agree.
I think they meant the 1980s, as opposed to temperatures in the 80s in terms of degrees
