The council of nicea verifiably, empirically did NOT collect the gospels to make the new testament as we know it. The gospels were already being bound together, seen as a whole, etc before the council, and after the council there was still a bunch of what's now considered apocrypha.

Personally, I like crostini with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil on top. Its great when Italian restaurants give you the little bread before your meal

The chrome is crostini is cool too! I wish Google would just make full fledged Linux laptops, but it's a step in the right direction

For the first time in years....yeah, I'm OK.

I've got my husband, and I've got in-laws who love me, and my friends and the members of my family who still talk to me recognize that I like having g small, quiet holidays so they haven't forced me to attend any huge superspreader events.

Tonight I'm buying ingredients for gingerbread cookies which I haven't made since I was like 7, and I'm going to make my dad's snickerdoodle recipe now that, after over a decade of tears and estrangement, he's accepted the fact that I'm trans.

Things are nice. They're not perfect, no, but they're nice.

That is literally a nightmare scenario for me, holy shit

I used to work in a call center, and it's astounding the number of calls that I got that were actually people trying to send faxes.

oh my god. This....unfortunately tracks for call centers. The world capitol of "we expect you to understand this thing with zero training"

The only problem is that robots don't have the kind of sense of connection and humanity that human caretakers often have, on top of the general complexity of the task. I was always frustrated when family would visit and treat their aunt/cousin/etc like a baby when like, no, they're 80 years old and were raised on a farm. It's really just a matter of needing appropriately trained caretaking staff who are also paid enough, which sadly the industry lacks both of those things

It's always fun when a job calls you up after you've been fired to ask how to do the things they didn't know you were doing

Some severance packages will have a non disparagement clause in it, or they'll say you can't recruit people to xyz competitor for a number of years. You can then say "yes I can do that, but if and only if you give me 20% extra of my estimated salary"

I hope the people you delivered to gave you massive tips

There's something about physical labor jobs that result in everybody having one story about babysitting somebody who is actively dying
