Real talk, I thought he had died, but maybe I just assumed or expected given hospice and the passing of his wife. For some reason I thought her name was Linda Carter, but Lynda Carter was wonder woman, if that says anything of my intelligence...

In any case, I hear triple digits is a big one, and may he not rest in peanuts just yet.

The people protesting genocide don't like antisemitism either. Many strong voices on the matter are explicitly Jewish. The vast majority of the others have no qualms with the faith and hate its association with such brutal destruction, because it does in fact bring out those who are antisemitic.

It's disingenuous to align their dissent with hate, whether or not an antisemitic faction is within the receiving end of the genocide. "Within" being the operative word, as there have been many more innocent victims who are just trying to live. Dissent is only that, not support for more conflict. Hate begets hate and terror begets terror.

I know I won't convince you from your "there is no genocide" view, or your belief that any terror is one sided. But I hope you can understand that none of it is black and white, and there are decades of unfortunate context. I won't even claim to understand it all myself, as I see it as a culmination of too many things. All I know for sure is that people deserve peace.

I don't even mean to come from a "both sides" perspective or rhetoric. Israel has an outweighed power and support from the west, including my own government. If I had to sum up my position, I would say that much of what followed WW2 has unfortunately led to more of the hate and oppression that seemed to be sworn against.

Not really sure why I even felt compelled to write this out to your comment in particular rather than just scrolling on, but here I am.

My stupid brain always associates the name Thirteen Ghosts with Venom (2005) and I only realized why just now, when I looked up the latter:

Summary: A group of teenagers fear for their lives in the swamps of Louisiana, chased by Mr. Jangles, a man possessed by 13 evil souls, and now relentless in his pursuit of new victims.

I only saw Venom once when I was way too young and it has its own neural pathway.

Bonus: I found Venom by searching "horror movie truck snake demon" because that's the imagery that automatically pops into my head alongside Thirteen Ghosts. It's the first result.

Recite your text of choice in Latin while formatting for full effect

Edit: or vacuum out the fans Luigi's mansion style for practicality

Tbh that is what I heard and wikipedia told me otherwise lol

Edit: probably the same word for both in Thai if I'm guessing. Is it wrong if it's cuter to refer to her as food?

Well shit, that's concerning. Even if it's more nuanced than it seems at first glance... Which, to be fair, is probably even more nefarious in the end. Terms agreements are wack enough to begin with.

And the name means "bouncy pig"

Not a dad, but I miss mine... Love those kids, my dudes. It'll never feel like enough on either end, but if you're lucky, that'll somehow be a good thing. And call em if you got em!

I swear I'm trying to be uplifting and not a downer! Spread the love, boys.

I nearly hedged and over explained like a party pooper, but I fought the urge lol. Great minds think alike ;) (and maybe dysfunction in eerily similar ways?)
