  • Dude, my favorite is 2Kings 2:23:24

    “Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, ‘Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!’ When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.”

    God kills 42 kids for calling someone bald LOL



  • Alright, I get the question. Assuming he has it to help him get up sometimes, look at where he’s at, some kind of art auction or something right? Maybe he’s been getting up and down a lot, looking at things closer. So he doesnt want to put it back somewhere everytime so he’s just keeping it out next to him. And the most natural motion for a cane is to just pick it up and put it down in front of you. Or maybe he’s just being a little silly for the camera lol :P









  • Thank you cuz i was wondering the exact same thing lol

    ** edit **

    Ok I went diving. Looks like someone just meme’d these in r/wiseposting like a year ago, which itself was inspired by a similar series of memes but about the 7 deadly sins + some others. They have much longer last panels. They’re just sort of general philosophical points about the sins/virtues that people have come up with but in meme form it seems.

    Temperance = you will live a middle life, buried in a middle grave.

    Patience = tides will rise regardless, fight or be swept away.

    Humility = know your worth, lest others set it for you.

    Charity = true gifts are free from expectation.

    Diligence = work is sacrifice, today is for more than tomorrow’s gain.

    Chastity = joy shared is joy multiplied, it’s lack does not create value

    Kindness = you will burn from both ends until naught is left but memory



  • And a lot of them require an address or p.o. box which not everyone has. And deadlines if you miss by a day you just get denied. A lot of government assistance in the U.S. is terrible and complex and time consuming. I just assume charities are pretty varied state to state so I didn’t want to bring those up, where every state has SOME kind of program.

    I actually used to work for my states unemployment office for a few years. The help I could actually give over the phone was minimal at best, another department did reviews and made decisions, I could really only give updates which 9 times out of 10 was “its still pending”. To the people asking what they should do while they wait I would say “Family, friends, churches, charities”. At least its better than saying “there is nothing you can do.”

    I just have such a hard time accepting that “we just have to accept whatever conditions and whatever pay our empyers offer cuz we’re lucky they even offer us that.” Or getting upset a pregnant lady wants to take time off work cuz now she isn’t bringing money into the family.
