why should you go watch monkey man? well dev patel gets beat up continually for a solid hour before being brought back from the brink of death by a group of trans and non binary people who then help him kill and maim a bunch of politicians and cops. also there's one scene where he stabs a guy in the neck with a knife and then uses his teeth to slit his throat

Also "nothing" was slang in Elizabethan English for pussy.

Shakespeare nailed it when he titled "much ado about nothing" which to me is what we all are guilty of, glorifying matters that don't even deserve half of the attention we pay to it, or exaggerating matters which must be just ignored and left at that. I believe the root cause is the existence of ego, this identification with oneself, as if the universe is revolving around us. A few decades before the earth functioned well even when we were not here and a few decades after the earth will still continue in her orbit. Why unnecessarily bother ourselves with petty things? Why even fret or worry about a gone past or an unknown future? Let be. You're here for some time, so why not make the stay worth it, enjoyable & pleasurable. Why scratching your head too much trying to philosophize life or trying to solve the mysteries surrounding it. Keep it simple. Stretch your muscles, laugh hard, breathe well, eat what you love, dress what makes you at ease, befriend the ones you love, engage in what makes you feel alive. Nothing is as bad as your mind tends to paint things. Look again, heaven's just a hand-span away, claim it!

This kid is an ICON!

While standing in line trying to get some food in the southern Gaza Strip, he yelled at the journalist Fakri Ibrahim, saying: 'Send this picture to Israel and the world.'

Get this man a romcom STAT!!!!!

stay cool, bobby.

israel wants people to think that the amount of innocent people who have been killed in gaza is normal, is just what happens in war, but every other article that comes out says that the deaths of civilians, journalists, aid workers, children... theyr all the highest theyv been around the world in decades. you cant just wave it away with a "shit happens in war", only apologize when other countries' citizens get killed, and still claim youre doing everything you can to not kill civilians

"You can stay at my place, if you like."

Remember this?

I was wondering today, why do (some) people still think that Aziraphale said this (and many other things he does/says) meaning that he doesn't want to stay at Crowley's place because he's still beholden to Heaven, it would be wrong etc etc.

Just as (some) people say he says I forgive you after Crowley kisses him because the kiss was a sin, a temptation and Aziraphale is offended by Crowley for doing this to him... I'm genuinely perplexed.

He's not saying, Oh, I don't think I should, Oh that would be wrong, Oh, are you out of your mind demon? He's saying: 'I don't think my side would like that.'

He spent 6000+ years worrying Crowley will get punished if their friendship/partnership/Arrangement/love was discovered. His first instinct here is the usual - I couldn't possibly, it would put you at risk.

We've seen how Heaven treats him. We have seen how he lies and deceives them repeatedly; S2 even starts with Aziraphale hiding his former boss from Heaven cos he knows he must be in BIG trouble to show up in his shop and he'll be damned (literally) before he gets them to do as they like with someone asking him for help without knowing what happened.

So why do (some) people assume he's helping Gabe out of some duty TO Heaven?

It's not that Aziraphale is not scared. He is. He knows Gabriel wanted to kill him a few short years before. He is not an idiot (this is a line I seem to be repeating in most of my posts).

He's not as dramatic about it as Crowley, but of course he's afraid. He is not missing Heaven in S2.

He's still terrified of them.

And that's why he's going there. That's why he's going to face his fears and save his life and his love or die trying.
