DVD extras were a precursor to the modern YouTube videos.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Everyone at the facility has been getting covid. Even the neighbors have it. Seems to be turning itself into a summer flu.
And school hasn't even started yet.

Just read part of an article about Moon Unit Zappa. Apparently, their family life wasn't quite "normal". Whoda thunk it?

I would think a name like that would be a dead giveaway.

My favourite story about his kid’s names involves Ahmet. He asked his dad if he could change his name to Rick, because the kids at school were calling him ‘Ahmet vomit’. So, he changed it and the other kids started calling him ‘Rick the Dick.’ He changed it back, and they started calling him ‘Ahmet the Dick.’
Makes you think the name wasn’t the issue.

Villains acting the victim is why it becomes increasingly difficult for me to have empathy for people.
