the chaotic column of dnd alignments is perfectly typified by things like "two trucks" going out of its way to make itself a bop that sticks in your head for years while also being a song about trucks having sex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WchseC9aKTU

@sashahamilton boy it'd be some delightful fire and brimstone to bring forth.

@sashahamilton ...'cause it weren't the gays, it was the fact that two angels in the guise of men came to the towns, relying on hospitality (which was a Big Deal in that time period), and immediately got offered up to be raped for the enjoyment of those who lived there. the town was just cool with this shit.
kind of like how everyone around here is okay with reported rapes at frat parties as long as it's good football to watch...

@sashahamilton i've often thought that if i wanted to make my old southern baptist church really hate me, i could preach a real great sermon about how Gammorah and Sodom do have a really relevant message to sexual morality-
and it's that the towns, besides being greedy, perpetuated rape culture on an enormous systematic scale.
kind of like how star football players get away with raping women because "he's got such a bright future"...

Quick test out there for ya: According to the Bible and God Himself, why was Sodom Destroyed?
Congratulations, if you answered "the gays" (or some variant therein) you've fallen pray to one of the many, many cultural misreadings of the Bible.
God explicitly states why He destroyed Sodom in Ezekiel 16:49, 50. "... [T]his was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy. Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me."
Now before you shout 'a-ha! The word abominations can only refer to The Gays(tm)!!" remember Hebrew prohecy/poetry follows a parallel structure. It says the same thing twice. Arrogance, richness and not helping the poor /are/ the abominations for which Sodom got brimstone'd.
Party’s over, y’all. Miriam-Webster is thinking of adding “fursona” to their dictionary. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/history-of-furry-and-fursona
@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz may i submit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_(1978_TV_series) for consideration.
in which a wigglytuff asks her body "dude, what the fuck."
realized that i hadn't had an ice pack on my shoulder in a couple of hours and that it was downright sizzling
pulled out the non-contact thermometer again
bad shoulder is 98 degrees, good shoulder is 90 on the surface. so i'm well air-conditioned except for THE PROBLEM CHILD. because DUDE. WHAT THE FUCK
@efertone oh nice!! thank you, that's really useful for when i get rdm up!
...of course i've been having enough bad luck with roulettes right now that here's hoping rng is due to give me some credit and one duo run later it'll be sorted and i'll have the minion for my alt LOL
@efertone there is the small matter that i hate playing sch LMAO
now that i've got myself all in tome gear today, i can work on getting rdm up through roulettes, though :) between that and trusts because i want those minions, it's not going to be too difficult.
(or just take up a guildmate's offer to duo it LOL)
@efertone sadly i got to the first boss and realized that on summoner, it ain't happening
since my buncle can't hold aggro while i heal it now 😩 and physick is straight-up useless
i think it could be doable as rdm though (sadly, i don't have it to 80 yet)
