In Arizona people freak the gently caress out when it gets cloudy and just looks like it might rain.

Then it does and people are doing 95 on the shoulder cause gently caress you.

I got pulled over on the 101 once because I was doing the speed limit in the rain. AZ sucks at driving.

Pretty sure they meant "gesture".

Christians used to tell my grandma how they could make her ilfe whole and change her poo poo. Little did they know that she was literally bipolar and also knew the bible by heart. Imagine some Jehova or Mormon walking up to that mess and trying to save her heart.

In the end they made a truce: Let us drink coffee together and enjoy each other's company, as long as we don't talk religion. I reckon missionaries deciding not to talk religion is pretty rare all in all.

Depends on the branch of Christianity. Some, even some considered evangelical, believe in leading people to Jesus by deeds and not words(ie: we bring you this food/shelter/etc because God wants us to make the world better, take it, if you want to seek God come and talk to us when you are ready).

You just don't hear about those because they are drowned out by the loud 'Come to Jesus and then we will feed you!' types.

Yeah, that makes sense. My grandma born and died lutheran though, I just always thought it was sweet that they decided to hang out instead of try and convert each other.

I was raised Methodist, which is defined as evangelical, and I was confused by all the hate missionaries got for the longest time, until I started encountering Baptists and other pushy sects.

I'm Southern Baptist. I was confused, too, until I ran into Southern Baptists on a church summer camp. :v: Took me a while to understand that the church I grew up in was really weird by SBC standards and almost got thrown out of the organization for having women deacons.

I guess I've been lucky. The most intense missioning I've experienced was basically an old lady telling her grandson to hand me a pamphlet. Kid was cute and talkative, asked me all sorts of poo poo. We were chatting until I was like "well, I think the earth is milli[lady basically cut off everything. Physical mic shutoff.

Russian is also hilariously broken. Which is interesting, because if they translated everything word by word it would make more sense. Like, instead of honey they have copper, even though 'мед' it's the same word in Bulgarian and Russian.

On a related note, chicken heads and feet are sold around here as a delicacy - they're known colloquially as walky-talkies:

Except for the fact that they have no meat on them. The collagen definitely has a different taste and texture to it than meat.
