No, what they're saying is that their situation can't get much worse than it already is

There's also a theory that the word "camel" in that passage was a mistranslation of a type of rope. IE it's easier to thread a needle with a full cord of rope than for a rich man to get into heaven. The metaphor still works the same, but now it doesn't rely on an in joke about one specific gate in Jerusalem.

Despite the fact that im not christian, I love when jesus preaches against hoarding wealth because they are totally reasonable guidelines for equitable living in a community, and most christians just totally ignore it

It's probably a fairly common occurrance, but last week was the first time I had ever encountered it, and I found it pretty hard to stay professional lol

Pretty much. I'm a college professor and the instructor for the course before me didnt take the mic off when he left the room, then went to the bathroom. I had just started class.

This one happened last week. I'm standing in front of a room full of people, probably about 100, when suddenly the sound system in the room kicks on and we hear the sound of pissing. I have to pretend like I didn't hear anything.

I'm not sure how long we're supposed to wait before we share the story, so I guess I'll wait 24 hours, or if someone guesses it I'll respond

Lemmy guess, you told your partner that you wanted a cigarette after tou gave birth, so he snuck one in for you and it set off the alarms?

Maybe not the actual biggest, but the loss of pirated material that i feel the most sad about is The Trove. The Trove was a website with a huge list of downloadable PDFs of source books for tabletop RPGs. I got the pdfs for everything DND, and also tried a bunch of other games I'd never heard of with a few friends. It also had downloads for other books and documents but I only used it for RPGs. I think it went down in 2019 or so.

Reminds me of the beach scene in Top Secret!
